Z-troller failure?

[WILLIAM J HUSLER]

My Z-Troller started getting flaky a while ago and it just got worse and worse until it was wrong more often than it was right. I finally replaced it with a Vera-Lite which has it’s moments, but is much more reliable over all

The two events in red "Received OFF for West Deck Stairs (Z-Troller)” in the log snippet show an OFF for a light controlled by the Z-Troller, but with no command from Xtension.  The scheduled event later on is correct and would turn off the light.

Looking back through the logs, I see these spurious offs as well as some dim to xx events (xx is any number) for all the lights controlled by the Z-Troller.
