    Everything has been working for a few years.
    Recently a few switches would randomly have a button turned on, always the same buttons.
    Sometimes on some switches if you pressed a button the led would just flash and not turn on the light.
    Over the past few weeks this happened with a few different switches.
    They eventually started working again without doing anything.
    On this occassion I loaded Toolkit and resaved the switch and it then worked.
    Due to the randon buttons being set, I started up Piced and resent the project to the Wiser2.
    After booting, it would not connect to the CBus network.
    The CBus light on the Wiser2 was red.
    I have an older Wiser2 which I had previously done a factory reset and plugged it in.
    It connected to the CBus network.
    So, I did a factory reset on the Wiser2 that was in use and plugged that in, it also now connected to the CBus network.
    So I again started up Piced and sent the project to Wiser2, after booting, it would not connect to the CBus network.
    I then plugged in the old Wiser2 (factory resetted) and it connected to the CBus network.
    I decided to have a look at some switches.
    I disonected 8 of them and then plugged in the Wiser2 which has the project loaded, still would not connect to CBUS.
    I then had a closer look at those switches and a few of them had 1 broken wire, 1 was on the + connector and the other switches had a broken wire on the - connector.
    I fixed those (except for 1) and reconncted them all.
    The Wiser2 with the project still would not connect to CBus but the factory resetted Wiser2 would still connect.
    I still have about 13 or 14 others still to check.


    So, as an interim step, I am running the project on piced whcih is connected to CBUS.

    Any thouhts or suggestions would be appreciated.
