My son did something to my maestro dimmer in our basement. I have two dimmers for the recessed lights. Now if I click one dimmer the lights just flicker and turn off. If I press the other dimmer the indicator lights just blink between DIL1 and DIL2 slowly and the lights blink as well (like one blink per second.) Not sure what to do.I have the MACL-153M dimmer and Philips Hue lights.
Your son is innocent. The MACL-153 is not compatible with Philips Hue. You are basically dimming a dimmer and they don't like that. You may get the Hue to turn on by doing a double-tap but you are still going through a TRIAC with a default trim of 10% (I think). That will drastically reduce the life of the Hue. I am surprised it worked at all.Quote:

But I am then left with a white, a black and a red wire and dont know which screw those connect to.
