I have one that does exactly the same with my Sky Digibox. The module
doesn't do it with anything else. I suspect that some form of leakage
within
the PSU is triggering the local control functionality within the module.
You
could modify the module to disable local control.

Actually, with the Digibox it's potentially quite useful. If it hangs
(which
it hasn't for a while), I just turn it off and it comes back on again a few
seconds later.

Anyone come across this before...

An appliance module (in this case designated A5) is sent an off command ...
it turns off ... a few seconds later it turns back on again. This is the
same whether I send the off command from my Pronto or directly from a
tabletop controller which is plugged into the adjacent socket (so that
distance isn't a factor). Other appliance modules in the same locale are
not
affected in the same way and I have used HomeVision to log X10 broadcasts
and all I get is the sending of the house and unit code "A5"
followed by an
"off" command.

I've tried several different appliance modules and they all do the same.
I've tried changing the X10 address of the module and it still does the
same.

Unplug the load and it works fine ... so, it has to be something to do with
the load yeah?

Guess what the load is ... it's the damn PSU for the QuadScan again!
