    Good news/Bad news I received the dimming micro module. I hooked it up on the bench with one dimmable LED and a toggle switch for the Sense #1 line. It worked fine. I wasn't sure how it was going to work with the sense line vs. program control. I set it to latched mode and basically, it responds to either program or switch. If the light is ON, and the Switch is ON, the program can turn the light off, dimmed, etc. Anytime the light is OFF or dimmed, and the switch goes High, the light goes to full brightness. Unfortunately, when I installed it into the real fixture, it failed very quickly. The load was only two 19 W LED's, but upon the second turn on via program, I heard a loud pop. Triac definitely shorted. The module still communicates, but it can't control the load, it's always ON. Customer Support had me do a factory reset, of course, that didn't work but I did it anyway. The reviews on this device look pretty bad as far as reliability. I'm going to send this back and get the ON/OFF module. Should be much more reliable based upon the reviews.

    OK, thanks, I'll give it a shot. I was just trying to save the cost of buying something that wasn't going to work for this application.

    I've got a RAB Lighting Super Stealth motion detector. It is an excellent motion detector. I'm interested in making the lights directly or indirectly controlled from the motion detector as well as from iSY Insteon commands. I found the handymanhowto article on using the 2443-222 On/Off switch but I have some questions since I've never used any of the MicroModules. If I use a 2442-222 Dimmer MicroModule, with the sense monitoring the motion detector output, do I still have remote control over the dimmer output regardless of the state of the sense input/motion detector output? Also, the iSY should be able to detect when the MicroModule was activated via the Sense line to perform other actions, correct? Thanks, Scott
