YES!!! That was it! I got both relays powered from the external power supply now and everything seems to be working fine. Thank you all very much!

Use a latching relay. Here is one I found on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015MRQNXS/?coliid=I3LXTGKX4GEPUR&colid=31WWM91JAUE22&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it If you are trying to use with existing 3 ways use https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015MSYQ8Q/?coliid=I3RP8X9OMYWU97&colid=31WWM91JAUE22&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Use an optocoupler to indicate lamp status...see the last diagram in this post. https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=435506.0

@NotYetRated I started with autHomation and still have it but I been using ImperiHome 90% of the time now. Until recently I couldn't use it full time due to not having multiswitch support. But now I'm I can almost say I don't need autHomation.

Same here. I'm probably going to just order a wiznet since that seems to be consistently working for most.

I'll admit a newbie at this. but I"m about beyond frustrated. I've been trying to get my "Vera Edge" Serial gateway up and running. I had it working, using a nano ATmega328 w/FTDI chipset. So that was great! All your posts were very helpful! So I decided to move forward and start building my sensors. The first sensor I built was a motion sensor also using a nano ATmega328. So I got it up and running, communicating with the gateway, and than the Vera controller dropped it and I kept get the same error message, Device not ready, "LUA Startup Failure. If you all have any another ideas on what could be causing this I could sure use your help! Thanks
