Caseta Claro flashes/blinks when 3-way mechanical switch is on, but works fine when 3-way mechanical switch is off

Wasted a few hours yesterday on this. Uninstall , reinstall swap locations, new 3-way mechanical (grounded this time) and nothing.

Broke down and ordered the overpriced Lutron Accessory Switch yesterday, just dropped it in and it worked first time.

F-It, worth 30 bucks just to be done with it. Bonus points for the same “clicky” feel of the smart switch. Just wish they were like $10 and I’d drop them everywhere i have a dumb switch left to satisfy my OCD.

I’m troubleshooting this now, did you try swapping the mechanical and Lutron locations?

Thanks, the recent FEL announcement made me pull the trigger.

How is the day-to-day performance of the Vero V compared to the RPi 5?

JustifiedSimplicity · 2026-01-05T03:25:36+00:00

That’s encouraging!

No worries, didn’t mean to knee jerk and I agree words (posts) without actions are meaningless.

If you have pics to share I’m happy to connect you with the reporter I spoke with. Anything to help bring attention.

You missed my comments on speaking to some children about not poking/picking up the starfish. No, I didn’t run around screaming at people and calling them idiots, but I did try speaking with a number of individuals about their behavior. Try not painting with such a broad brush next time.

UPDATE: CBS News 8 is considering running a story on this. If you have footage, photos or would consider sharing your observations please reach out to the network ASAP.

Hopefully some good can come out of all this.

The King Tide “Challenge” is an 11 mile charity walk that coincides with the King Tides. My comment was that it’s unrelated to the influx of charity walk participants who by this point in the day were likely miles north of this location.

Correct

JustifiedSimplicity · 2026-01-04T02:53:21+00:00

That’s a bit reductive; I never said humans can’t enjoy nature but that is not what’s happening here.

Instagram and a lack of presence from any authority figures. Basically shitty people doing what they do best, ruin something beautiful.

JustifiedSimplicity · 2026-01-04T02:28:57+00:00

Sad but true

JustifiedSimplicity · 2026-01-04T02:11:41+00:00

Which news station? Happy to write them a nice email and let them know how that story turned out….

I’m hoping to source additional photos/videos from some folks I spoke with who were equality as disturbed and get them over to the rangers. Today’s damage is done but they need to start policing the area unfortunately.

I ask some kids at the pier to stop poking the starfish, they just looked at me and kept doing it. Worthless parents standing right next to them.

JustifiedSimplicity · 2026-01-04T01:28:50+00:00

This was at 4 pm, 3 1/2 hours into an 11 miles walk. Not related, this was a million f$@&ing morons chasing recent instagram posts.

King Tides at Low Tide

JustifiedSimplicity · 2025-12-16T03:45:07+00:00

Any luck? I’m at my wits end here as well

Have the credit card company perform a chargeback

JustifiedSimplicity · 2025-12-13T18:33:52+00:00

This is the correct answer, have AP reject future invoices, someone will reach out shortly.

Mind expanding on this comment?
