  1. I have both the Gen 5 in the repeaters and the motions.
  2. Thanks for the dialogue! Is it correct that the Aeotec Repeaters are not repeating over the power line and only over the radio waves?
  3. I have used ISY and Insteon for over 8 years. Only recently have I started using some Z-wave products. My old insteon motion sensors went bad and I tried the new version but it not working with ISY caused me to make the Z-wave leap. I have continued to have bugs ever since. 1. I have 4 AeoTec Multi Sensor 5, 2 AeoTec repeaters, and the ISY z-wave module. My repeaters will be online one day and the next will not be. I have to continue to move them closer to the ISY to get good ping health. All have been added in secure mode. I have been "healing" the network every few days to get them to show back up. Their is a virtual wall of my house that seems if I put the repeaters beyond this area they cannot ping the gateway that is literally 10 feet away. The electrical panels are on the opposite side of the house from this area. 2. I have one insteon switch that I have set to be responder to z-wave motion. It never works! It is programed just like others scenarios that do work. 3. I have another insteon switch as a responder to z-wave motion and it worked 99% of the time, until I moved my ISY from my garage to the center of my home. My home is approx 3300 square feet with 900 square of unfinished upstairs bonus that is pre-wired for electricity. I have 400 Amps of service and 2 panels. I have been searching forums for answers and cannot get clarity. Is my problem power line related? Phase Bridge? I have tried turning the oven on but my results continue to be varied. I am also upgraded to version 5.13 of ISY but did not change issues. Any guidance?
  4. Insteon motion sensors really have not performed well for me for many many years. I had high hopes with the new Insteon II sensors. I am really frustrated as I purchased 3 and they are practically useless. I manually linked them to a few devices but no real controlled time to keep the lights on. I have read on the forum that development is chaos since there is not clarity in the API. So, my question... Do I jump into the Z-wave arena? I currently have all Insteon and Elk products but I sense insteon is loosing ground. Should I jump ship for motion control? Is their full control of nice motion products like the Z-wave product by Aeotec called the MultiSensor 6 in ISY ?
  5. I have two keypad lincs. The main button on each controls a two way light. I have the scene set with both buttons as controllers. Everything works fine if I use the keypads or if I used the scene on/off. However, if I use set the individual button on or off in the device menu, one works the light correct, the other never controls the light. I'm lost on this one... Have I set something wrong or do I have my wiring backwards?
  6. great app! thanks for the hard work. look forward to watching this progress!
  7. Thanks for the links, that was my oversight. I changed the IF statement to use "condition" instead of "status" of the sensor to ON and the program ran correctly.
  8. I am using a 2420M to detect motion and a LampLinc Dual-Band 2457D2. My ISY is ver 2.7.12. This scene worked before but hasn't in the last few weeks. My setup is new so I have been adding a lot of componets to the network over the last weeks. My program: IF Sunset + 20 to 11:00pm AND Driveway Sensor is On THEN Garage Lights 90%, Front Porch Light 70%, Wait 10 Minutes, Garage Lights 50%, Front Porch Off With WAIT in use, it is as if the program stops with the Wait command. If I remove the WAIT the program continues to completion. A few oddities... I am unable to get the ISY to fully recognize the Dual Band device. States it is unsupported 1.14. Any advice?
