The reason it does this is because of a heuristic in the firmware that deliberately interprets "garbage" IR codes as the repeat command. The reason we do this is so that if a user points the remote control away from the sensor briefly while doing a press-and-hold, it still works as a continued press and hold. Currently there is no option to disable this behavior.
Often times the IR sensor can be triggered by older lighting systems used in offices, which emit a high frequency flickering that triggers the sensor. In those cases it can be fixed by installing new ballasts. It's not so much an issue of the color of the light (its amount of IR content) so much as the frequency (several KHz) of any flickering. Eg sunlight has load of IR but won't cause a problem. This is the first I've heard of it being a problem with compact fluorescent bulbs. Out of curiosity do you have the make/model of the bulbs? Have you checked if there is anything simple you can do to work around the issue, such as putting the SB below a shelf, moving the light, etc? -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36270 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
