Looking to save some $$s. LOL

Yes, the Dakota has some very nice features, but no night mode. However, a night mode can be programmed through the ISY, which is how I have mine setup.

I'm already using an IR-3000 with an Insteon 5010E (EZSNSRF) and I was going to add another sensor. Perhaps I should just stick with an IR-3000. http://www.smarthome.com/smartenit-ezsnsrf-dakota-alert-wireless-sensor-receiver.html

Aside from price, what's the difference between these two devices? Is one any better than the other? http://www.smarthome.com/dakota-alert-ir-3000-3000-series-wireless-ir-motion-sensor.html http://www.smarthome.com/insteon-2842-222-wireless-motion-sensor.html

I'm having similar problems with the same kind of Insteon Device. I tried LeeG's suggestion of using Event Viweer and changing to level 3 and this is what I received. The 2475S is inside an exterior flood light. What does this indicate?

Hey Michel. Good to hear from you. You are correct. The switch is an 8-button KeypadLinc Dimmer,but the floodlights are connected to Smarthome In-LineLincs (Non-Dimming). What is an ELK? Any insight on to why this happened? Do you think I should reset the ISY-26? Thanks, Kelly

By the way the floodlights indicated in the log are fluorescent and can only be on or off (0 or 100%), but the log shows 88% which isn't even possible.

Not sure what I'm looking at, but I did find the log of when the anomaly happened: Here are the details: 0 null Tue 06/14/2011 06:41:13 AM System Start 0 pool.nt Tue 06/14/2011 06:41:18 AM System -60001 Scene:My Lighting Status 0% Tue 06/14/2011 06:41:18 AM System Log Fireplace Lamp-Right Status 0% Tue 06/14/2011 06:41:18 AM System Log Fireplace Lamp-Right Status 0% Tue 06/14/2011 06:41:20 AM System Log Fireplace Lamp-Right On Level 100% Tue 06/14/2011 06:41:20 AM System Log Fireplace Lamp-Right Ramp Rate 4.5 Sec Tue 06/14/2011 06:41:20 AM System Log Floodlight -

Apparently, last night my ISY-26 went crazy and decided to turn on a whole bunch of lights randomly. We discovered it this morning. This has never happened before. It's about 4-years old. Could it be reaching it's end-of-life? Are there any diagnostics I can run to see if it's functioning properly. Thanks, Kelly

I'm having similar issues. Did you purchase your TED 5000 direct from the manufacturer or through a distributor?

I'm having similar issues. Did you purchase your TED 5000 direct from the manufacturer or through a distributor?

So before you changed the dip switch you weren't able to use it in a program?

The Dakota EZSnsRF receiver shows up, as do the KPL and LampLinc, but the IR-3000 does not. I have not been able to successfully use the EZSnsRF as a control in a program, but I'm not a programmer, so I could have something coded wrong. Thanks for your help.

I am able to make the Dakota work in a scene, but not with a program. Since the scene doesn't understand time of day, that method is very wasteful "energy wise".
