A few days ago we had a brownout and an existing Caseta switch started smelling burnt and its lights wouldn't turn on so I figured it needed replacing. I purchased the exact same model ( PD-6WCL-WH-R-C ) and installed it just as the old one. However, the ceiling lights don't come on and neither do the little green lights on the switch itself. I tried reversing the black wires as well. I replaced it with a generic dumb light switch which works just fine so it's not my wiring (I think). I removed all six of the tabs from the Caseta which the manual says reduced its wattage capacity to 400W, however there are only five 50W halogens running on it.

I'm stumped. Wiring pic, replaced switch is the one on the right: https://Upload the image directly to the thread.com/a/akck5WB
