ISY994

Was remodeling kitchen and needed to reset the depth of the outlets in the wall for the new backsplash. After the electrician finished, turned on the breaker and much spitting and smoke emanated from my KPL 2486 that I use to monitor my garage doors. As luck would have it, I had a replacement on hand, a KPL 2487S ver 4.4 that I installed after fixing the floating neutral. I was able to get the ISY to link the KPL 2487 and was getting ready to add it to the various programs so I could again monitor my garage doors. The ISY went into linking mode and has been doing so for the last two days. The progress bar processes like normal from left to right and then restart…

I have a pretty big installation with Insteon at my house and running the latest official ISY version (4.2.30). Only recently I have a few switches not changing the Status when they are triggered on a scene. Here is the situation: When a scene is triggered ON and the actual device turns on the light but the status does not changed in ISY. So, if a program depends on the status change of the device, the program will not run. This happens when the device is not CONTROL to turn on, press the ON button on the device. For example, I press the F button on a keypad that is a scene with a SwitchLinc device, the F key and the device turn on but when I check the statu…

I pretty much only use Z-Wave if that changes anything so no instant status. I have a bunch of timer programs, pretty straightforward, like "If time is sunset, then set Living Room Lamp to ON" and then another "If the time is 3am, then set Living Room Lamp to OFF", basic. I'd like to send a notification when the lamp has come on, but I want it to actually confirm the lamp is on, not just be "If the time is sunset, then set Living Room Lamp to ON and Send Notification" type thing, since it could fail turning on and I feel like the notification would still send? I was thinking it would be something like after turning it on, run the THEN portion of another program that…

Hi all, Just reading some programming examples and gotten myself confused as to when to use Status and when to use Control under the Conditions tab. I was attempting to use Status to determine when something was on or off but in the programming explain on WiKi, they used 'Control' instead of Status. Some it made me wonder when do you use Status and when do use Control? Thank you! Rob

HI All, I recently put together a program and linked it to a button on my keypadlinc. I followed the directions in the wiki so I'm not quite sure what I am doing wrong. I have the button set as non-toggle ON. Here is the program. If Control 'Living Room- F' is switched On Then Set 'Master Bedroom - Indirect' Fade Up Set 'Master Bedroom - Hall' 50% Set 'Master Bedroom' Off Set Scene 'Master Bedroom / Master Fan - Medium' On Wait 1 minute Set Scene 'First Floor Lights' Fade Down Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Any ideas why the program stays true and the light stays lit on the k…

I replaced a bad PLM and now I cannot control scenes via the ISY web interface and device status are not updated in the ISY. I had a dead ISY. I attached a new one which the ISY detected and did a restore. I'm able to control lights and if I query a device it shows the correct status. Is this because the new PLM isn't included in all the devices scenes but the old one instead? I am able to fix a scene one by one by removing a device, creating a new scene and then adding the devices back but I have many scenes and this is tedious. If I do a "restore devices" would this correct the problem? Thanks. Firmware v4.3.1 ISY 994i/IR Pro (1110)

trying to write a simple scene adjust program, as never did this before. I have a motion sensor and garage light in a scene so garage light is turned on with motion then I have a program to turn off the scene after certain time. however if the light is turned on by a keypad button "A" the program will not turn off the light, all is working great. However, I also have a "mood" button that tuns on this light at a low level, but every time I go by the motion sensor it turns it on to the brighter level of the scene, so I was trying to control with a program like this but does not seem to work (note, the "D" button is the mood lower level of 31%) test - [iD 00…

Have searched but am not finding reason for green tag with 1101 listed beside switch. What does this mean?

I thought I had my problem solved connecting with my Macbook Pro by using Firefox. But this evening I am getting an error when trying to connect. The admin window comes up but 2 errors pop up and no login window. First error is an XML Parse Error http://(location number here)/desc. Under that is another window error with Socket Open Failed java.net.SocketTimeoutException. What in the world are these? I was able to connect just 5 hours ago. Ugh!

Has anyone attempted to do any programming in order to implement ISY integration with the Amazon Echo?

I have a 6 button KBL I have button B controlling a variable for fan speed. If Control 'Inside / Living_Room / Devices / Living Room KPL / LR_Keypad- B' is switched On Then $Living_FanSpeed += 1 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Program fan speed high If $Living_FanSpeed is 1 Then Set 'Inside / Living_Room / Devices / LR_Fan-Motor' High Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') To control the kpl button light I have this program read the following If $Living_FanSpeed >= 1 Then Set Scene 'Inside / Living_Room / Scenes / LR_Fan_KBL_Light' On Else Set Scene '…

Hi, I replaced two three-way switches with two 2477d switches. I have a keypadlinc hooked to them as well. The configuration is as follows: Scene: Stair Light Controllers: Keypad B, Top Switch, Bottom Switch Responders: Keypad B, Top Switch, Bottom Switch The three-way part works just fine. What is not working is trying to use the scene as a night light, so at dawn, I want to set the on level to 100%, and at dusk, I want to set the on level to 10%, and I wanted it to turn on at dusk and off at dawn. The program is as follows: At sunset + 30 In Scene 'Stair Light' Set Top Switch 10% 'On Level' In Scene 'Stair Light' Set Bottom Switch 10% 'On Lev…

Just wondering if these laptops/tablets will run the admin console if running windows 10? -http://www.amazon.com/HP-Celeron-Horizon-Personal-Upgrade/dp/B00NSHLUBU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1440981308&sr=8-1&keywords=windows+computer -http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Surface-Tablet-10-8-Inch-Windows/dp/B012DTDBI8/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1440981345&sr=1-3&keywords=surface+3 So will it run on either of these? Thanks!

Hi all, I am in the need to set up my ISY to notify me by text message if it detects smoke or CO2 or a water leak. In addition, I would like it to also notify me by text if the garage door is left open, or I can check the status of the garage door via my iPhone and close the garage door remotely, I am only concerned to close the door, I prefer to not have the option to open it to provide a level of security. I was thinking of adding a camera positioned in the garage to help with seeing if the garage door was left open. I do have MobilLinc installed on the iPhone. I see the necessary parts at SmartHome, but wanted to get anyone's input on the best way to set this …

Hello: Long story (but may be relevant) is that I had an ISY 994I/IR Pro connected to a 2413S and a bunch of SwitchLinks (2476S) set up in the prior house I was in. Was working totally fine. I Took all these out (the new owner didn't want them I wanted to re-use them) and they've sat in a box for the past year. I just plugged in the ISY 994I and 2413S. I deleted all devices (I couldn't find how to do a "total reset") and I've only tried to install one SwitchLink so far. This SwitchLink appears to be working (lights on, switches on/off, etc.) But I'm having problems linking it. I would start linking and NOTHING would happen. I tried multiple times. I plugged th…

Maybe someone could help me out. Here's my program. HallLightsTimer - [ID 0363][Parent 0048] If Control 'Hallway / HallwayBed4WayLights' is switched On Or Control 'Hallway / HallwayEntry4WayLights' is switched On Or Control 'Hallway / HallwayGarage4WayKeypad' is switched On Or Control 'Hallway / HallwayMaster4WayLights' is switched On Then Wait 15 minutes Set Scene 'Hallway / HallwayLights' Fade Down Wait 7 seconds Set Scene 'Hallway / HallwayLights' Fade Stop Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') These four switches are a part of one scene with the scene on level set at 50%.

I have replaced switches before with the ISY99i and now have the ISY994i. I am replacing an old 2876DB v12 switch(and by the way - is this a know defective one that could be under warranty) with a 2477S rev 6.7 switch. The switch works, and shows up in ISY as new switch, but can't find it in list when I go to replace old switch. Is the old one a dimmer switch and the new one not? If so, does this mean I would have to reprogram any links or scenes since I can't easily swap? This system was in place with the home we purchased and successfully replaced under warranty many, many switches in 2011 from original installation that were known to be defective, but I have not d…

Folks, I'm having a major problem with my Insteon installation. A few weeks ago, an "All On" event triggered every device in the home while I was laying in bed. This is particularly disturbing because virtually everything in my home is Insteon enabled, including my three garage door openers. Which opened and stayed that way. Last night, it happened again, so I updated my ISY to the latest version today just to rule out any bugs (I was several versions behind). Well, it just happened again, but only partially - most of the lights were in a funky state, odd dim levels, etc. This time I actually had the ISY console up and running and for some reason it did …

Sorry, this is similar to another post I made. There may be no way to do this…but have to ask. I used to turn on a “Garage Lite” from a motion sensor triggering a program, but I found the response quite slow. So recently I made a scene with “Garage lite” and “motion sensor” in the scene and it works great, very fast. However, before I made the change I used to have another KPL switch “mood light” which set “Garage lite” to a lower brightness and the motion sensor program was told not to turn off if the “mood light” was on. Worked fine, except as I said was slow. Now with the scene approach rather than the program approach, there is no way to make this work.…

Good morning, I have a Insteon HUB, and a motion sensor, along with other RF components, and PLMs. I can get everything to work but the motion sensor. And I guess I am trying to confirm if mine is bad. I can link it no issue, and click the setup button to run through all the states. However, once I leave it in the Off state, not motion changes it, unless I actually move the sensor and jar it a little. Any thoughts would be appreciated? Thanks.

My ISY-994i has been working fine for several years. Suddenly there is a red exclamation point in front of every receiver, and none of them are working. Any suggestions regarding how to get my system operational again?

When I upgraded my ISY to Alpha Version 5, I decided to start fresh on my home automation network. Been quite a while since I added the MorningLinc to ISY, but when I did, I forgot this... Select the third option 'Add devices found in links and keep existing links'. If you select 'Remove existing links' it removes all links from the MorningLinc and due to the security measures on the MorningLinc the PLM can no longer send commands to it. So now the MorningLinc is added, but I cannot do anything with it. How to correct this? Do I link it with the PLM using the 'set' button on the PLM first?

Wondering if I can use the EZIO2X4 IO module in analogue mode, ie. I want to attach an Analogue light sensor to the EZIO and get a digital value recorded in ISY. Note: according to EZ this controller can output a value from 0-1024 from an analogue input Wayne
