    The NEO switch LED will flickering, but after reboot whole cbus system it will become normal...after 2 week or 1 month it happen again and it is not appointed at certain NEO switch but randomly happen at any NEO switch

    i was curious about this problem mostly will affect by what kind of situation like after heavy rain or some else???

    When you say "LED filckering" do you mean that the orange/blue LEDs blink alternately or do you mean that the brightness of the LEDs goes randomly up and down?

    If they're alternating between orange and blue then it's a basic communication error, so check all the usual things. If the brightness is going up and down (proper flickering) then that suggest a wiring/cabling fault somewhere in the system.

    Thx newman
    actually the house is quiet big with 104 cbus unit
    Cbus power supply is enough to supply the system.


    According to the report , we found out that the Neo switch was locate at the presentation hall which content 5 unit neo.so The thing will happen randomly..

    Given that you have 104 units, and some of them are Neo's, I assume that this installation has at least 2 networks?

    - Are the networks connected with Network Bridges or via CNI's?
    - Does the indicator problem happen on only 1 network or both/all?
    - What are the network voltages at the units that are misbehaving?

    yup is 104unit in a single network.
    i dun think that this will causing the problem,
    from the experience we got few project is more than 100 unit in a single network it work fine without create any problem for us also.
    The largest project in single network is 112unit in a network( if i'm not mistaken)

    You are operating outside rated performance.

    The Neos, the limit is a lot less than 100 units. (The limit varies depending on the units attached).

    Because you are outside the ratings, nothing in the performance can be guaranteed. If it works, its because you are lucky.
