Program help needed and switches not working
LMcGrath replied to LMcGrath's topic in New user? Having trouble? Start here
I'M SO STUPIDDD! In regards to my scheduling times, at least. I had it in the wrong time zone!? So, at least one thing is working right. But yes, as for those other switches that aren't working manually or with the computer, I'm going to check on the wiring tomorrow and see if that is the issue. Thank you to everyone for your advice and patience! So sorry about that! -

Oh I didn't know about that. Well I've tried factory resetting twice and it didn't seem to do anything. Is there a risk to doing factory reset multiple times? -

So it is not the bulbs because there is another switch that also controls the same lights on the opposite side of the room. That one works perfectly fine. I will check on the wiring later and see if that is the issue. If it is, is there a way to replace it with a regular dimmer switch not a smart one? Like if I had a smart switch and a regular switch that both control the same set of lights, would that be an issue? -

I will definitely do that for the update. As for the wiring, the light switch was PERFECTLY fine until I tried to link it to the system, meaning it worked manually, so I'm a little skeptical that it is the wiring but I will check that next. -

I have updated to 4.9. I don't see any option to update any further. As for the factory reset, the instruction that came with it said to wait 10 seconds after pulling the set button, but either way, I push it in and wait until the long beep stops. Then 2 more beeps happen and the LED light reappears, but it does not switch on the actual bulb. Here is a photo of my schedule so far. The Family Room one I have been fiddling with as practice to try and get it to work right. The garage one is the one I would like to actually work if possible. -

I still can't get my schedules to work either. I even tried doing simple ones, just turning one switch on at a specific time, and it won't work. This is with the switch that works manually and with the device tree -

I tried the factory reset twice and nothing worked. Only thing I can think of is maybe turning the breaker off and on might help? If the switches are bad then I think I'm screwed because Insteon is dead so I won't be able to get a replacement -

I did. All my other switches still work fine, it's just the other two not working. It just irritates me because they were working perfectly fine before I tried to add them to UD. This happened the last time I tried to use UD too, which is why I stopped for a while. Not I just want to fix the switch so that it can work manually again -

I did a factory reset on the switch but it still does not work manually or with the program -

I did the programs that exact way but they still say False in the Status line. How do I get it to say True? -

I am away from my computer for the night so I don't have the firmware information yet but I will check in the morning. As for the switch not working manually, it was working totally fine up until I tried to link it so the wires are wired correctly. -
I have gone back to UD after Insteon went and died, but I don't know how to set up my schedules properly. I am trying to set up a light to turn on and off at different times (my outside light. I'd like it to go on at sunset and off around 10:00pm). Everytime I think I have figured it out, the status still says False. What am I doing wrong? Also, for the few switches I have set up so far, two of them do not work with the computer or when I manually hit the switch, while a different one works when I manually hit the switch but not on the computer. How can I fix that? Edit: I am using version 4.7.3 of the firmware and UI

I currently have the isy944i system in place for my switches. My husband bought a garage system that operates through the hub. If I hook up the hub, can I get that to work for the switches too? Or do I have to start over again with the hub? Or is there a way to use them both?

Fail to add device, reason 3?
LMcGrath replied to LMcGrath's topic in New user? Having trouble? Start here
I also just realized that each time I try to add a new device or start linking, the device does not get recognized by the system -
I'm slowly but surely getting the hang of my new system, but when I tried to add a new device, the message "fail to add device, reason 3". I've seen another forum on it was a few years ago and I was trying to follow their advice but I got lost.
