Hi Robert,

For now, remove the resistors and see if you can get the hei to trigger
without them. Also, did you
hook the resistors up "across" the mains? I think the write up showed this
and I believe we decided
it shouldn't be across the mains but in-line on the output leg of the
lutron. If I'm mistaken here,
please someone, correct me. If I'm right, did the write up get updated?

Bart
