220 volt dryer with SynchroLinc?
Here is a long interesting thread on Laundry monitoring with a number of options discussed along the way. http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=10104&hilit=laundry+monitoring -Xathros

Should Garage door be ON when Closed?
I don't believe there is a way to change the sensor status after the query other than by cycling the door. The switch swap is the best solution and as above, can go at the top of the door. Thats where mine is too. Almost identical to EricK. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Should Garage door be ON when Closed?
Smarthome's decision to go with that switch left many of us scratching our heads. I don't believe that they expect you to leave your garage open . They just decided that closed should be represented by the sensor being on rather than door open being on. Most, from my experience, seem to disagree. -Xathros

Should Garage door be ON when Closed?
You must have a newer Garage door kit from smarthome. The newer kits ship with a normally open reed switch whereas the older kits shipped with a dual contact switch (NO/NC) and we had our choice with On when Open or On when Closed depending on how we wired the switch. Most of us seem to prefer On = Open. The best thing to do here is replace the reed switch with:http://www.smarthome.com/7455B/SECO-LARM-Enforcer-SM-226L-3-Magnetic-Garage-Door-Contact-Switch/p.aspx and wire the black/red in place of your current switch. Trigger reverse will appear to do what you want until you query the IOLinc or the 3AM query runs. When queried the IOLinc returns the ACTUAL sensor status rather than the Trigger Reversed status. This will throw off your status in ML and any scenes/programs driven by the IOLinc sensor. Hope this helps. -Xathros

Zwave remote to control insteon devices / scenes?
The $1 module is the firmware component required to use the $99 ISY ZWave radio hardware. Without the radio, the ISY does not do ZWave with or without the $1 module. So, short answer is: No, you cannot. If you do have the ZWave radio and firmware module, you still will not be able to do what you want (yet) since the ISY does not yet support multi-channel ZWave devices like remotes. I believe support for this is coming in the 5.X firmware series. -Xathros

Limit on trigger usage?
Larry- Are you sure the triggers are being missed? Check the last run time of suspect programs to be sure. I feel it is more likely that the resulting activity from the triggered programs may be preventing or delaying the result of some of the triggers rather than the triggers being missed. Insteon activity will queue up and take priority over a number of other things. This may result in the appearance of some programs not being triggered. -Xathros

Select Help / About What is shown for the UI line? If not 4.2.3, then you need to clear your java cache including applications and then load a new admin console from:http://isy.universal-devices.com/994i/4.2.3/admin.jnlp -Xathros

Remove Insteon Dimmer Replace with 6 Button Keypad

Remove Insteon Dimmer Replace with 6 Button Keypad
Replace with is only an option for very similar devices. A Switch to a KPL won't work as you have found out. 1) Click on your current Switch and make not of it's scene memberships as both controller and responder. After you remove the switch and add the KPL, you will need to add the KPL's primary node to these scenes in place of the switch. 2) Go to the programs tab and right click on My Programs, Select Find/Replace and search for the name of your current switch. Make note of any programs in which that switche's name is found. After you remove the switch and add the KPL, you will need to edit these programs and replace "Undefined" with the KPL's primary node. If you add the KPL before removing the switch, you can use the Find/Replace to replace the Switch with the KPL primary node in your programs then remove the switch afterward. Unless you have some very complex stuff going on, this should only take a few minutes to accomplish. Hope this helps. -Xathros

Setting UP Second ISY
I think your remote port forwarding may be the issue. Or, possibly your remote IP address has changed. Are you using a DDNS service for the remote location? -Xathros

Get status of a scene?
My apologies. I did in fact misunderstand the question. Not being familiar with Tasker, I cannot answer that. However, I do believe the other thread has the info you are looking for. -Xathros

Liftmaster/Chamberlain question
I would suspect that you could place a resistor in series with the IOLinc relay contacts to keep the display clock functional and still trigger the door. You would need to experiment to find an appropriate value. -Xathros Edited for spelling.

Get status of a scene?
Using /rest/status/21 61 F8 2 I get: Indicating that the Dusk/Dawn node of this motion sensor is On. Using: /rest/status/1 C9 FA 1 I get: Indicating the on level of 41% on this dimmer. Hope this helps. -Xathros

Get status of a scene?
Insteon scenes don't have a status. You would need to test the status of each scene member to make a determination. Many of us choose a single member device to represent the status of a scene. Others will set a variable at the same time as turning on/off a scene and use the value of the variable to represent the scene's status. -Xathros

Dual Band question
Any dual band Insteon device that receives a message with hops remaining will retransmit that message on both the power line and RF bands. It is not an either/or situation. -Xathros

How to program an Insteon motion sensor
I see nothing wrong with your programs or logic here. More likely, you have a battery in one or more motion sensors that is getting low. Many of the ALL ON insteon events seem to be related to low battery conditions with motion sensors. -Xathros

Troubleshooting POST Request
I'm not sure that I fully understand the exchange in the OP but it looks like there may be a session cookie involved which I believe is not supported by the ISY. -Xathros
