The end of an era

Of fan trouble that is.  It’s kind of crazy how this saga ends (see fan saga here).

After working with Lutron to get our Maestro fan/light double dimmer switch working, which failed by the way, they left me with one last idea. They said the way it’s behaving it’s acting like there’s interference from a CFL or plasma tv or something.  Problem is that taking the CFLs and plasma tv off the circuit in that room did not help.  So the last idea was to turn off everything at the breaker box except the one light circuit and then slowly add them back on until I could pinpoint the interference.
Well this is time consuming but finally today I had some time and wouldn’t you know it, it worked!  The CFL on the kitchen circuit somehow was interfering (note that it’s a difference circuit).  So I changed that to incandescent and boom – it all worked like a charm.  Holy Moly that was a real project.  So now I have to get back to the Lutron folks and they can send me some sort of filter so I can use said CFL again but until then, we have a fan!

The fan all installed!
