LeeG- Consider it a small bit of compensation for the wealth of knowledge I have gained from you. -Xath

Include both the KPL Timer button and the KPL button that you want to use as controllers of the scene. -Xathros

See these examples taken from my 4.0.5 Admin console: The check box in the lower right enables/disables the lines. These are to help you visualize nested paren sections. I normally keep them off but have found the useful on a few occasions. -Xathros

dk1- Another thing to be aware of is that some older Insteon devices require a power cycle (airgap) before such changes take effect and as a result, are not friendly to scheduled changes. -Xathros

timster- Restoring a backup would bring you right back to where you were before removing the KPL. The idea is to remove and re-add the KPL so the ISY can acquire the correct device info and build a new set of link records for the device replacing the ones that are there currently. If you have a spare KPL, you could add that with a temporary name and use the "replace with" feature to replace the one your having an issue with. then remove the problem KPL, add it back and replace with again to swap everything back to that KPL. -Xathros

There sure is. Once you have linked the IOLinc to the ISY, you will be able to set it's options through the ISY Admin console. -Xathros

timster- You could always create another scene containing only the D button as a responder and a program that says: If Control KPL-D switched On Then Set Scene KPL-D Off Else -Xathros

Desktop is fine. The Manual Upgrade process will allow you to point to the firmware file wherever you put it. -Xathros

Yep. DO NOT unzip the download. The ISY expects it as a zip file. -Xathros

paauto- You can downgrade the 994 to 3.3.10, restore your 3.3.10 backup from the 99i then upgrade to 4.0.5 after. -Xathros

I think his issue was with the D button not the big off button. Not sure if that makes a difference here. I dont have any KPL6s to test with. -Xath

Not sure if this is possible with mutually exclusive buttons or not - try setting the fan off button to non-toggle-off mode. -Xathros

Hi Dodger- I can assure you that the ISY works just fine with the MAC. I use all MAC's at work and home and access the ISY all the time with them. What exactly seems to be the problem? What version of MAC OS are you using? Do you have Java 7 installed? What version of the ISY firmware do you have running on your ISY? I'm sure we can get you up and running once we know what the problem is. -Xathros

Agreed. My wish is for a 3 position slide switch on the face of the dualband devices but hidden under the switchplate. Up- RF Only, Dn- Powerline Only, Center- Dualband. -Xathros

tome- If you really want to test for wireless comms, you can isolate the device in question by connecting the device to an appliance cord and plugging that into the filtered outlet of a filterlinc to eliminate powerline comms. If it still responds after that, then it is communicating via rf. -Xathros

jrini- Have you checked the scene definition for Fan-High and verified that the on level for the A,B and C buttons is set to 0? -Xathros

No Problem! Happy to help. -Xathros

Hi BriG- That test in the If is related to another program call. I have a Midnight door check that closes the door if it is open by calling that If. It isn't needed otherwise since other than that, I never call the If. You could remove that line if you wanted. Currently the status is managed by a combination of the 2 programs. I "run then" to open or close the door. Then the monitor program will "run else" on the openclose program when the door sensor says closed. Mobilinc uses the True(then)/False(else) status of the openclose program to display the door status. -Xathros without an "n"

If it worked there before but not now, then I suspect something else has changed. Have you moved or added any other electronics, power strips, ups, chargers etc? Something is inhibiting communication. Run the event viewer at level 3, cycle a few devices on/off from the admin console and run a scene test or two. post the trace. -Xathros

I agree with oberkc on this. When you control a device directly from the admin console, that is a direct command and the ISY expects an ack in response from the device and will retry several more times unless it receives the ack from the device. Scene control is different and the ISY assumes the device reacted. I think you need to filter the network devices (especially the UPS) with a filterlinc or AF120 if you expect the load may exceed 10 amps. -Xathros

I would move the incrementing of the integer mvar to a program that runs once per day just after midnight and have it call a second program that says if mvar >= 22 then mvar=1. This way you can have more than one event per day based on this data. -Xathros

Or, you could leave the switchlinc in place, cap the red load wire, and link it to the fanlinc's light node. -Xathros

Baja- No. The RL is a battery powered device and is only awake momentarily when you press a button or when placed in linking mode. The rest of the time it is asleep and does not receive status updates from other linked devices. If the RL is in toggle mode, you may have to press a button twice to get the desired result. The status displayed by the ISY is based on the last command received from the RL. -Xathros

Brian- First, you should not link devices outside of the ISY. The ISY will not be aware of those links and will eventually overwrite some or all of them. You should factory reset both the switch and motion sensor then restore device on each from the ISY (Assmuming that they were initially linked to the ISY). Then for the programs, I think these will do what you want: Program 1: BedroomTimer If Status BedroomLight is On Then Wait 15 minutes Set BedroomLight Off Else Program2: BedroomMotionResetTimer If Status BedroomLight is On and Control Motion Sensor is switched On Then Run BedroomTimer If path Else The first program just does the countdown timer and turns off the light if on after the delay. The second program restarts the timer program anytime there is motion when the light is on. Hope this helps. -Xathros

Hi jeff000- The IOLinc is not a dual band device as far as I know so being in RF proximity to dual band devices makes no difference. The question is: are there any other Insteon devices on the same circuit as the IOLinc? Can you move the IOLinc temporarily to the same circuit as the PLM and try the add again? Can you capture an event viewer trace at level 3 while adding the IOLinc and post that here. Are the buttons that came with your openers just basic buttons or are they multifunction? The IOLinc is going to act as a dumb button (dry contacts) and won't work with many of the multi function button systems. -Xathros
