SteveO Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Our tree lights are switched on and off via a remote control. Recently they have been behaving very strangely. As an example, last night they switched themselves off at 10pm with no input from us, and just now they switched themselves back on, again with no intervention. Logic says that they are being affected by another remote control source, most likely from a neighbour's house, although the nearest house is a fair distance away. Has anyone else had a similar experience and is there anything I can do about this? Sensible suggestions welcome! Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExSurveyor Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I had the same with a wireless door bell, you should be able to change the channel on the plug, usually 4 to choose from. You could stand outside and switch your lights on and see if a neighbours lights come on as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WherryNice Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I have a set of lights that have an inbuilt timer, once switched on they run for 6 hours, turn off, then restart themselves 24 hours later, just wondered if yours have a similar feature?

Gracie Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 "Sensible suggestions welcome!".....A bit of a tall order We have three sets of lights on our tree, one set that came with it and two we added. when I first put them on they were just on and now they're flashing, the ones that are flashing are the ones that came with the tree (I can't stand flashing lights) have tried all the different combinations on the button pad thingy but they just won't stop Armageddon is upon us Lol Grace 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbo Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Can you imagine the NBN members all living in the same town? It would make a TV series although most probably already been done? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I behind on this thread too. I've just taken all our lights down. Let's hope they all work again next year( this year ). Gracie, I thought you would like flashing lights, especially if they were blue.. So now it's time to look forward to Easter and all that chocolate .
