So, should sensing mode be checked? Not quite sure? Should on only be checked? Should Night mode be checked?

What does a person need to add in the programming to get it to bypass any program so your light will stay on if you want it to. My front MS won't stay on if I turn it on.

If I put the LED down to 0 or 10 or something like that would it cut down on battery usage? Should my low bat node say on?

What about the jumper settings? No, my low bat node has always said off. What is your program in isy like?

I just use the isy and the ms. I am really having a problem with 2 ms in the backyard and getting a program to run them both and not have the batteries run down so fast. I just need to get what someones settings are that have this same scenario.

I understand the manual but I am needing the proper settings so my batteries don't run down in 2 weeks or so.

Rev.2.0

I went into the isy and went into options. I never noticed before that there were some setting for this. Maybe they were not there before but they are there now so I have some questions. Sensing mode - do I want it checked or unchecked? On only mode - checked or unchecked? night mode - checked or unchecked? what does the timeout actually do? LED brightness? I set it to 0 now to help save on battery. darkness sensitivity? what is a good number? So with these things in the isy, what jumper settings do I do on the MS?

I finally got a chance to get to my MS today. TOO busy before. I went to the topic at the bottom by illusion that linked to a test done. I just don't quite understand for sure what the jumpers were set to. I thought there was a picture someplace for this but just can't seem to find it. My MS have not been working for over a month now because they lose battery power so fast. Does anyone know the proper jumper settings to make this work right and also how does this guy set up his isy? He said he had 7 of them. Were any two in the same area like I have? My biggest problem is the time frame. I work on this stuff and get somewhat good at it and then don't do anything with it for a couple of months and forget a bunch of things.

I am watching all of the names from the new kpl go away now and all the old names stay the same.

Thanks. I am doing that now.

I had a KPL go south, my first one but need to ask this question. Is there an easy way to replace it without going through the whole setup? When I right click on either of the KPLs it gives me a choice to replace. My question is how for sure? Say KPL A went bad and I replace with KPL B. THanks.

How do I keep my MS from going through batteries so quickly?

I was having a problem but that was just lack of doing it. It got it going with no problems now. Thanks.

I have a dyndns account so I can access it remotely. So all I would have to do is change it to one of those numbers in between the ones you said and use my dyn account?

Really? So if I went in and changed it to let's say 60000, it will work with that port setting? I was not aware of that. I will try that when I get home. Thanks.

Well, I got it workings. Let's hope it keeps working this time.

Well, I found out it was not 5000 so what port should I use along with the https?

I had my isy setup almost 2 years ago to work over the internet but I had a problem with my router and it erased all the ports and things I had setup. It has been so long I can't remember what to do? Get that. I know it was an https and 5000 but I can't remember exactly what to do? Anyone care to try and help. I have a 2wire router if that helps.

You keep your house set at 82? Holy cow. I would roast.

So, I could go in and change it to 0 or +1. Is this in the manual? I will need to look.

I am not sure what deadband is?

I am in program mode. I have my heat set at 65 right now. What does the auto mode give me that the program mode does not? Thanks.

When I set my venstar thermostat to 72 it goes to 73 and does not cool any more. At night I have always liked to sleep with it at 71 but it only goes down to 72 even if I set it to 71. What is the issue? Thanks.

After sleeping and doing some tests it now works. I guess it just took some time for all the switches and things to sync or something. It now functions like you guys said it should and like I want it to. Thanks for your help.
