Radio RA works with Alexa...but now RF remote interference
I have happily used my Radio RA classic system for years with an AMX system with the RS-232 controller. Not wanting to leave well enough alone and a tinkerer, I figured I could pickup a RA-IR box , connect it to my harmony hub and have Alexa control my lights. Good news is it works. Harmony and alexa control radio ra classic. The IR codes are in the Harmony database.
However something changed during programming...I never had issues with my directv RF remotes or my RF IR remote extenders but after I added the lutron IR controller to my repeater my RF remotes have gone haywire. Reduced range, multiple phantom button presses. I mean 3 receivers with multiple rf remotes. And it started after I added the IR controller. Now I did play with the toggle vs. Single action scene setting on the Lutron IR controller setup. However I did not purposely do anything else. Just link to repeater and programmed a few scenes.
Now since I can unplug the IR and rs232 controller and repeater and I still have the issue, it seems the interference is from the Light switches themselves?
Did I somehow change the frequency? Does adding the IR controller switch them to 2 way or something?
I think my RF extender runs at 433MHZ as does the DirecTV RF remotes I believe. I thought radiora was 418MHZ. Could it be the lutron programming I did?
Any help appreciated. I know it is an old aystem...but it still works. And I thought the Harmony and alexa integration was pretty cool but don't want this issue.
Thanks,

Radio Ra codes in Harmony Elite Database.
BJBBJBB,
In your post you indicate that the codes for the Radio Ra are in the Harmony database.
I have a client who has a first generation Radio Ra...what method did you use to program the Hub?
I was using an android tablet wireless connection for the other components of my system, but when I try home control...Lutron it takes me right to the Lutron log in the site.
Anyway...if you could lead me in the right direction for programming, I would be very appreciative. Thank you.
