Firmware 2.7.13 BETA is Now Available
Good news to have 2.7.13, and thank you! But first I need to get it installed successfully. From the admin console under 2.7.12, I tried to Manually Upgrade using the downloaded still-compressed Insteon.zip file. Unfortunately the process stalls each time at about 13% progress (dialog refers to ommon.ud?) and I get a "wrong length" error that halts the install. What to do? Thanks, SImon

Triggering a program from a KPL or RemoteLinc button
Thanks for your help, Michel. In case anybody else sees this, I'll just let you know that my (newbie) problem was having the program inside a folder where I had forgotten a folder condition that stopped the program running. D'oh! This does work with Control if you want it to, like with motion sensors. My 2.7.11 upgrade went smoothly.

Venstar T1800 setpoint adjustment
Seems like I can only adjust the thermostat setpoint from the thermostat keypad if the unit is in the "ProgramOn" mode. You can't do this from the ISY unless the thermostat is in the plain old "Auto" mode. I know, maybe I should bail on the program mode on the thermostat and run it all from the ISY, but usually I'm happy with letting the thermostat do its program thing. I'd like to be able to adjust the setpoint regardless of mode. Is this a bug? It's sure an odd "feature" 2.7.11 (I upgraded without problems today) and v2 thermostat controller.

Triggering a program from a KPL or RemoteLinc button
I 'm trying unsuccessfully to run an empty program's "then" path when I push one button, and the "else" path when I push another button. I don't care if I use a KPL secondary button or a RemoteLinc. (ideally both) There are no devices to control directly, I'm just trying to create a flag program and set it "true" or "false". Prog 1: If Control KPL.A is Switched On then Run Program MyBoolean (Then Path) Prog 2: If Control KPL.B is Switched On then Run Program MyBoolean (Else Path) But it doesn't work. I can watch the current state of the buttons toggle on/off in the Main secrtion of the admin console, and it looks OK in the Event Viewer Level 3, so I'm getting the button signals but the program's state never changes. If I make a scene and put a LampLinc in, I can control the light, but not trigger a program. Running 2.7.6 // PLM Info says v. 85 Maybe relevant: Should I upgrade to 2.7.11? I have a v2 thermostat and some dual-band LampLincs ...

Clearing the 'On" status of a 2420 Motion Sensor
Hi, I have Insteon 2420M motion sensors driving some lighting programs based on examples from www.handymanhowto.com. They work fine, but only if I have the Motion Sensor set to send an "Off" signal. To get more flexibility in the timing of switching the light off, and maybe to get extended battery life, I want to put the motion sensors in "On Only" mode via the DIP switch. But when I do this my lights stay on all night because I can't figure out how to clear the "On" status so the program keeps triggering. I can't use "Set" because the RF device isn't listening and "Query" doesn't force the status to "Off" when it can't communicate ... so how is this done?? (I've seen hints that this "On Only" mode is intended to be used with ISY controllers) All help gratefully received. Thanks! Simon
