Thx @Brian H. I am not able to add the controller and get the attached error. What is the PRO add on? How do I make sure automatic upcates to RF devices is enabled? How do I set the Remotelinc to linking mode to link to the 994, or is that necessary? POST EDIT Successfully linked by pressing and holding button #1 for 10s before starting the ISY link.

Update to this closed topic. A new 2450 module has been installed and is working perfectly with all chargers in the garage doing their thing. I think the original problem was an aged device pushed to the edge by extreme environmental conditions. Thanks @Brian H, @IndyMike and @Techman for answering all my questions and teaching me a thing or two. Keep your stick on the ice. Dwayne A

Hi all. Got a couple brand new Insteon Wireless Mine Remote 8 Scene pushbutton doodads (2342-222). When I go into UD Admin Console and select Linc Management to add the pushbuttons there appears to be several 2342-222 options to select from (00.12, 00.16, 00.18, 00.1A) Which do I select? Does it matter? Also, what is the procedure for linking this wireless device? Press/hold Button A, press SET, something else...? Thanks all. Dwayne A

Thx for the clear explanations @IndyMike

Hello all. Update after all your replies. Following yesterday's test of moving the IOLinc beside the PLM-ISY (where it worked) and then moving back into the garage where it also worked, the IOLinc stopped working again today and is not providing either sensor status or contact closure to the garage door opener. I now believe the issue is temperature related. We are in a cold snap in Western Canada (-35°C) and the temperature in the garage is probably around -20 to -25°C. Anyway, the IOLinc now refuses to work at all, even when moved back into the house and plugged in beside the PLM and ISY. I want to avoid Whack-A-Mole disconnection-reconnection of loads around the house searching for the elusive signal-sucker. The loads in the house haven't changed significantly for over 5y and things worked fine until this polar-vortex last week. In that vein I have ordered a replacement IOLinc for the garage door. I will update y'all when I install that replacement device. However, I have some follow-up questions. @IndyMike you wrote The IOLinc is providing contact closure in parallel with the pushbutton that commands the door opener to change state. Can you expand on why this is dangerous? If the contact freezes closed the door opener just holds is last commanded state. Next question. Is it possible within the UD Admin Console to replace a module into the same scenes and scripts? I desire to install the replacement IOLinc without rebuilding all associated scenes and programs. Final question (for today... 🙂). I have two 2443 Access Points (AP) in this house. In both cases they are in close proximity to 2486 Control Keypads and wireless motion detectors. Are the APs really required (the keypads are actually closer to the motion detectors)? How do I tell if they are actually doing anything (they appear to be totally idle - no LED activity at all)? Again, thank you all for your time and replies. Dwayne A

Hey @IndyMike It appears that was the problem. ✔️ I temporarily moved the IOLinc to the receptacle beside the PLM and ISY and it worked just fine. So, I moved it back to the garage AND unplugged the battery chargers on the summer cars and it worked just as intended once again. 😄 This is frustrating as the cars have been sitting on chargers since Halloween and every winter for the last several years, with no interference to the IOLinc. Now this week the IOLinc has a case of the Jr. High School Princess Sensitives. 😠 @Techman I have a 2443 Access Point plugged in nearby. Would that provide dual-band redundancy if I plugged it into the front of the IOLinc? Thanks both for your replies and insights. Dwayne A

Hello all. [Disclaimer of competence: I admit to not being an ISY or Insteon guru. I've cobbled together a number of devices including an ISY994 that has successfully automated lighting in my home for over ten years.] I have an Insteon 2450 IOLinc module controlling and monitoring the garage overhead door. It appears the 2450 has stopped reporting sensor status to the ISY and other linked modules. I confirmed the sensor is working and the LED on the 2450 correctly displays sensor status. The dry contact output to operate the garage door is working properly. All within the UD Admin Console: I see the status of the sensor is frozen to "On" regardless of actual sensor status including the 2450 sensor LED. When I right-click the sensor and choose Diagnostics/Show Device Links Table an error is returned - see attached image. If I right-click on any other correctly functioning module and choose the same table a list of linked modules is generated. Question for the ISY-All-Wise: is the error an indicator that the 2450 module has failed? Should I simply replace the module? Can further troubleshooting identify the issue? (I did try unplugging and re-plugging the 2450 module but that had no positive effect.) Thank you in advance for any and all responses. Dwayne A Sherwood Park, AB, Canada

Right! Got that now and works perfect! Thx for the quick direction MrBill and Javi. D

ah, ah ah.... But I was using 'Adjust Scene'. I should try Insteon/[Scene] On or Off instead, right?

Hi Javi. In the program I am controlling the outdoor module. I tried controlling the scene but it appeared to not work. D

This is probably so simple y'all will roll your eyes, however I cannot sort this out. I have an ISY994i (yes I know it's old, but it works well, LIKE REALLY WELL, and I don't need additional features.) I also have several Insteon outdoor on/off modules (2634-222) and six-button dimmer keypads (2334-232). I have created scenes in ISY to link keypad buttons to the outdoor modules. Works great. I've also created If-Then-Else scripts in the ISY to control the outdoor modules under specific conditions. Those scripts function as expected, but the associated keypad buttons do not light or un-light to show status of the outdoor module. What am I missing? Thx for any and all help. Dwayne A
