VM151 turns on automatic

Hello,

i have a problem concerning my VM151. like in many other posts it turns on by itself. I changed the code from the remote about 20 times… i got always the same problem.
I turn it of with the remote (both buttons --> notice by a short flash of the connected LED strip) but after about 10-30 minutes it turns on again from itself.

What could be the problem?

P.S.: From time to time i couldn`t even turn it of with the remote (no changing of effect possible either) because the LED strip is flashing in red very fast (don´t thing that this is a programmed effect)

Most likely, there is a 433MHz transmitter in your area (wireless thermostat, thermometer, audio system, door opener…) with similar code.
Also, if there is a small power supply interruption, the unit will restart.

That doesn´t answer my question :smiley:

What else can i do than change the code for 20 times ?

First you have to determine if the power supply or an external transmitter is at cause of troubles.
Anyway, if you return your VM151 processor, we can exchange it for a version which turns the leds off at power-on, to avoid this problem.
