Last December I discovered LampLincs, as a better X10 module. I have a
bunch of the 2000SHL's. After discovering the (slow) timing problems
with their programming, I've run into something weird. I have one set
as 60 second ramp rate, and 100% Default On Level. If I set it all the
way off, and send a bunch of Bright commands, it only brightens to
about 20% (guess), and stays there no matter how long I hold the Bright
button. Commands are going out since LEDs are blinking all over the
place. But it gets no brighter. If I now hold the Dim button, the
lamp "Brightens" all the way up, then continues to dim down to zero.
Repeating the Bright/Dim operations keeps doing the same thing.
However, I've noted that if I don't dim all the way to zero, Brt & Dim
work OK. Or, if I'm at zero, and send a single BRT, pause and send
more brights, it works OK. Is this part of the bug in the modules
related to dimming from step 1 to zero that it makes a jump, rather
than smoothly dimming?

PS -- Smarthome tech support was just like Microsoft's: 100% correct,
but absolutely useless.
