Good morning, In reviewing my ISY Log today, I noticed I have many X10 entries. The odd thing is, I don't have any X10 devices connected to my system. The log appears as: X10 M10 Fri 2013/09/13 04:43:00 AM System Log X10 M10 Fri 2013/09/13 04:43:00 AM System Log X10 M10 On (3) Fri 2013/09/13 04:43:01 AM System Log X10 M10 Fri 2013/09/13 04:43:06 AM System Log X10 M10 On (3) Fri 2013/09/13 04:43:07 AM System Log X10 M10 Fri 2013/09/13 04:44:09 AM System Log X10 M10 Off (11) Fri 2013/09/13 04:44:10 AM System Log X10 M10 Fri 2013/09/13 04:44:30 AM System Log X10 M10 On (3) Fri 2013/09/13 04:44:31 AM System Log X10 M10 Fri 2013/09/13 04:44:44 AM System Log X10 M10 On (3) Fri 2013/09/13 04:44:44 AM System Log X10 M10 Fri 2013/09/13 04:45:47 AM System Log X10 M10 Off (11) Fri 2013/09/13 04:45:47 AM System Log My system seems to be working just fine so it seems odd to have these present. My system consists of both the ISY and an ELk M1 with 30 or so Insteon devices, including 2 Insteon Motion sensors. Any idea where these entries are coming from? Mike

Rand, Thank you for your help in explaining just how this works. I guess I just never noticed it prior to installing the ISY. Mike

It’s my understanding that a single push of the SwitchLinc (top portion of button) will activate the light to the level and ramp rate assigned in the Load Controlling SwitchLinc. A second push of the button (top portion of button) turns the light on to 100%. I have a 4-way scene setup with 3 SwichLinc, all linked through the ISY. Everything works fine, except the second tap of on switch. If activated from the Load SwitchLinc, the lights go from the predefined level to the full on level. If activated from the non-load switchlinc, taping the top of the switch the first time turns the light on to the set level, however, taping the top of the switch again only activates the LED indicator to full on, the light remain at the set level. Also, tapping the top portion of the button twice does indeed turn the light on to full brighness. All of my 4-ways scenes respond this way. I’ve just recently switched from the House Link II to the ISY and I’m pretty sure this worked correctly with the House Link II. Thank you, Mike

Michel, Thank you for your suggestions. I believe you are correct so I will try it. I do have one question, to clarify things for myself. If I add a device either by the "Start Linking" or "New INSTEON Device" and select "Remove existing links", shouldn't that Link the device and clear the devices Link Table, except for the linkage to the PLM? Many thanks for your support. Mike

Brian H. – The PLM is new (serial version) which was purchased along with the ISY-99 Michel Kohanim – The ISY software version is 2.7.0 Mark James – Thank you for the recommendation. At this point, I’ll try most anything to understand what’s going on. Thank you all for your support! Mike

I’m in the process of transition from HomeLinc2 to the ISY-99 and have a few issues. First some background. It was my understanding that I would be able to add all my devices (about 25) and links by Linking and specifying to “add devices and keep linksâ€. While this appeared to work just fine, modifying my scenes didn’t respond as expected. Thinking that I might have many unnecessary and unused links within many devices, I deleted each of the devices and relinked each device only this time, I specified to “add device and erase all linksâ€. To my surprise, the links remained and for the most parts, the lights continued to function as they did under HomeLinc2. As a last attempt, I erased all the devices again and prior to adding each device, I initialized the devices to factory defaults and then added each device. Things seem to work better but I’m confused about one aspect. When I read the links stored in each device (prior to creating any scenes), a device address shows linked to each device, not only once but twice. I assume this is the address of the PLM but I’m concerned there are two entries for each device. Also, since I have many Outletlincs and In-Linelincs, which require removing of power to initialize (not very easy), is there an method in which I can use to erase any previous links, prior to creating Scenes within the ISY? Thank you in advance
