Thanks for the reply. Looks like I'm re-linking again. Thanks, Steve

Lee... Thanks for responding. Sorry I didn't respond more quickly...had other commitments. In answer to your questions: 1. I had 13 EZX10RF nodes defined. 2. The X10 codes were defined using the "Add x10 Device to EZX10RF" function. 3. ISY 3.3.3 is being used. The reason I was restoring the EZX10RF is that I had problems with the ISY server (steady power and Rx). Between ISY support and me, my ISY was restored except for the EZX10RF. I get the message found in this link when I start my admin console: http://www.screencast.com/t/H6d9ROlsyM. I assume that the ISY backup should contain the EZX10RF information and so I should be able to restore it. Is that a good assumption? Thanks for your help. Steve

Hi - I recently had to restore my devices (with the fantastic help of Universal Devices support). However I cannot restore my EZRFX10. I keep getting the message found at that says the ISY is preparing the device and that it's ready for restore. But it does not restore the device. The device also shows that it's waiting for writes to the device. I tried to write the changes (several times). I tried to restore it several times. Then I reset the device to factory settings and retried the restore (and even the write). I could not restore it not matter when and how I tried to restore it. Why am I unable to restore it? Steve

I attached the program and the folder it resides in: Folder 'pf Office1 Sunset-Sunrise On f' If Program 'p Office9 Motion Timer Enable' is True And From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. Program 'p Office2 Sunset-Sunrise MS On' If Control 'ms Office-Sensor' is switched On Then Set Scene 'sf Office / sc Office Lamp' On Wait 8 minutes Set Scene 'sf Office / sc Office Lamp' Off Stop program 'p Office9 Off 2 Hr' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Thanks, Steve

Hi - I've had several experiences of programs that just stop working. I will run the if statement manually and the condition will not resolve to "true". The program will begin working again if I simply go to the "if" statement, select each condition, click on update, and then save the program. This is not happening en mass but only for some programs here and there. I believe this also happens with the "then" statements sometimes but haven't a recent example. What could cause this? Could something like renaming devices or renaming programs be causing this? Steve

Will the signal diagnostics still work? Thanks, Steve

Lee, I only want ISY to manage/control my devices and don't care if ISY overlays HL links so long as I can perform signal diagnostics. Did I mess up how ISY's management/control by installing HL? Is there a comparable ISY tool I don't know about that can do the same diagnostics so I can tell which devices don't seem to operate correctly? Thanks again, Steve

Thanks Lee. I found the setting you mentioned. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "registering" the Insteon devices with HL? I did "add an insteon device"...is that the same thing? If so, does that issue cause the HL signaling diagnostics to not be useful? I intended to use HL for just the diagnostics so that I could troubleshoot communications issues. Steve

The LEDs on most of my Switchlincs all seem to flash in unison with any activity related to Insteon and X10 motion sensors. What did I do to cause this? (The only activity I can think of is that I renamed many items using ISY. Also I installed Houselinc to use it's diagnostic features. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, STeve

In addition to movement, I would like to use the dusk/dawn sensitivity value for in indoor 2420M motion sensor to control whether on not lamps located in the same room as the motion sensor turn on. My program would be: If sensor-dusk/dawn = on and sensor is switched on then turn lamp on wait 5 minutes turn lamp off else The if statement for a program that controls a lamp returns "true" if the dusk/dawn state of the internal motion sensor (in the same rooms as the lamp) is "on" and if movement is detected. I believe that after the lamp is on for a period of time (up to 3.5 minutes or less while the sensor adjusts to the new light level), the dusk/dawn state of an indoor 2420M motion sensor changes to "off" due to the light from the lamp. The if statement will return "false" and the lamp will turn off after the 5 minute wait. After the motion sensor dusk/dawn state changes back to "on" (because of the lack of light), the if statement returns "true" and the sequence above repeats itself. My solution would be to use the dusk/dawn sensitivity value from a separate outdoor 2420M Motion Sensor to control whether or not indoor motion sensors should trigger a program to turn on lamps. My questions are: 1. Does this make sense? 2. Is there a better/easier solution? 3. Is there a way to obtain the specific value (0 to 255) of the sensitivity rather than just an "on" or "off" state? Thanks in advance for your assistance. Steve

It doesn't. I've done everything you suggested and it still does not sort properly. I created a small image here http://screencast.com/t/pGzGAjousnp as an example. The funny thing is that the first 1.5 pages (about 75 lines) sort OK and everything after that does not sort correctly. I also just found out that if I sort the "Type" first and then the "Name" it does better however "Roof..." is sorted before "rem..." Steve

The My Lighting window does not sort by name when I click on the Name heading in the right side of the window. Is there a problem with that? Steve

TJF1960 - Yes the switch is part of all the scenes. Is there a better technique to check the status of the switch while having multiple scenes for the same switch? Basically I want to not have the scenes controlled by a motion sensor override manually controlled scenes. For example, if the switch is turned on manually, I don't want to walk into the bathroom and have a program initiated by a motion sensor override the switch's control. I couldn't readily find an example in the forum. Thanks for your help. Steve

When I execute the program below, the program runs and the program summary start/stop times are identical. The scene is turned on however it never waits 2 minutes and is never turned off. The scene contains only a Bath Master switch (2476D SwitchLinc Dimmer W/Beeper v.38). This occurs with other identical scenes that have different on level percents. I discovered that when I remove the "Status 'Bath Master' is Off" statement from the If statement, the stop time is 2 minutes after the start time. Why does this program work this way? I don't want this scene to operate if the switch was turned on manually and was checking for that in the IF statement. Thanks, Steve If Status 'Bath Master' is Off And Control '4 Bath-Sensor' is switched On Then Set Scene 'sf Bath Master / sc Bath Master 40%' On Wait 2 minutes Set Scene 'sf Bath Master / sc Bath Master 40%' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Hi - I cannot find what the values in the Device Links Table mean. I can find out the meaning of the values (copied below) but not what the actual values mean. For example, what is the values of "Response (level)" or "Ramp Rate" or any of the other fields? Is there such a thing? Steve What I found on the WIKI: The data is organized this way: First four digits = the database address in hexadecimal digits Next pair: E2 = controller A2 = responder 22 = deleted 02 = deleted 00 = EOF (End Of File) Followed by: Group# Linked address Response (level) Ramp Rate Data3 (unused)

Lee - I am on version 3.1.14. Steve

I figured out why my scenes quit working from programs. I believe the ones that seemed to not work were actually working. However I had renamed these scenes. When I did so, it changed the "On Level" for the ones I renamed to zero! I reinstated the correct on level and I got the expected behavior back for those scenes. Is it normal behavior to reduce the on level to zero for the responders when you rename a scene? Is this a bug that I should report? Steve

I added and replaced several switchLincs. After I finished it seems that many of the scenes I've had set up for months do not respond to the programs that use these scenes. Not all scenes are affected. Scene tests on some of them that don't get activated by the programs succeeded. Why would this happen? How do I get out of this? Thanks, Steve

I have a question about the behavior of a RemoteLinc. I want the 5 of the 6 buttons to control scenes. The scenes will manage the % brightness of two tracks of lights running on two SwtichLincs (v.38 item 2476D). I created 5 scenes. For brevity I'll talk about the "Scene A" and "Scene B" buttons. They should work as follows: 1. When the "Scene A" both tracks should turn on at 100%. 2. When the "Scene B" one track should turn on at 30% and the other at 50%. When I'm testing them, I'll use the "Scene B" button a couple times and then the "Scene A" button a couple times, they work properly. However sometimes the "Scene B" button will turn the tracks on to the 30%/50% and then very quickly set the "Scene A" button to "on" which seems to then turn the tracks on to 100%. Just so you know, I had factory reset the SwitchLincs and RemoteLinc prior to adding them to my ISY99i. I put the log at this link: http://screencast.com/t/8IXeK0iA. Any ideas? Thanks, Steve

Michel - Thanks for explaining. Steve

Thanks...

I use Davis Weatherstaion II (older model) and Virtual Weather Station.

Never mind...my mistake. I had configured my weather station upload incorrectly. It works now! Steve
