Hi
I have a 17 year old comfort system that been working just fine until recently.  My hall and landing zones are programmed to turn on lights for 1 minute if the motion sensors are tripped.  I also have commands like all lights on/off programmed on the keypad.
Recently the lights are misbehaving.  Usually they don't come on at all and sometimes multiple (incorrect) zones come on and never go off.  It's like the X10 controller is sending random X10 on messages.  The keypad menus are also not working.
One physical thing that has changed is I install a BT wifi extender hub that uses the power cables to transmit my network.  I've tried uninstalling this and rebooting but it doesn't fix it.
My outside lights are also programmed to come on and go off on a timer.  These use relays instead of X10 and are working normally.
I think this means the comfort board is not sending the correct X10 codes anymore or for some other reason the messages are not delivered properly.
What can do to fix this?  e.g. can I get a new X10 chip/module?
