    Loxone Relay extension issues

    Hi all

    I recently had a broken miniserver (burnt fuse) during the weekend, which is particularly annoying. I decided not to wait for an RMA and bought a new miniserver and a relay extension.
    The broken miniserver got fixed (which is now my backup) and the relay is used to offload the miniserver and keep it as bare as possible to avoid any external issues. This is all fed by a power supply and backup.

    The relay extension's actuators are failing one by one. They are used to only switch 230v LED, which draw a lot less than the rated 16A. When I turn off/on lights, you can still hear the relay click, but nothing happens. I confirm the lights are not broken either.

    What could be the issue here? Isn't the relay extension's output meant to switch LEDs?
    I know you can put a "better" relay or contactor between the load and the extensions, but that seems/seemed a bit overkill.

    Any advice is welcome.

    Thanks a lot

    Understand what inrush current is and how it effects a Loxone installation, including some tips on accounting for and avoiding Inrush current.


    How many lights are you switching at the same time. What type, etc..

      Hey BDP

      thanks for linking.
      I’m aware of the inrush current.

      the light I’m referring are 3x Philips core pro gu9 leds at 4.8w. According to the spec sheet, it’s 44mA each so 132mA. Should be more than enough margin on the 16A relays in the extension.
