Thank you

I have a program that I want to run in the morning, but not every morning and of course which day changes week to week. I presently have a program set up that IF keypad B is ON, then the program runs at a certain time. But at the moment, I have to manually press keypad B to turn it OFF. Is there a way to turn OFF keypad B via an ISY command rather than having to do it manually? Thank you

They didn't have it when I ordered the caps for mine, so I didn't change that cap, I just replaced the others and the PLM is now working again.

Before I saw your note, I did a "modem restore", exited out of the Admin console and then logged back into the Admin console, still had same error, couldn't communicate with KPL-B and KPL-B still showed red '!'. I just saw your note and went to run the test you requested and when I logged in, I did not get the communication with KPL-B error and all items the KPL-B now had 1011 in front of them. I then did a "restore device" and this time it spent a few minutes writing to the device and now all looks normal. !!?? To everybody who helped, thank you. I don't understand what happened, or why it is working, but at the moment everything looks to be running as it should. I did do one thing in follow up to the repair of the PLM that I probably shouldn't have, I connected the repaired PLM to the ISY with the ISY still running. I suspect I should have unplugged the ISY first.

I have no battery operated devices in my system, no 1011 next to any device. Just red ! next to all KPL-B keys. To be clear, from my last post, I think all the sensors controlling the KPL-B key lights are associated with scene's and not programmed thru the PLM/ISY.

Thanks for your input, here is what I have done and where things stand now. KPL- A; PLM had error it couldn't find it after my repair of the PLM. I did a "show device links table" for that KPL and it now appeared that the PLM could see it, but there was no communication to or from that KPL. Per your suggestion I did a "restore device" for KPL A, the system showed it was writing to the KPL- now it seems to function properly. Thank you KPL- B; Again PLM had error it couldn't find it, I tried doing the 'show device links table' for that KPL and it still shows that the PLM can't find it. I tried your suggestion to 'restore device' and unlike for KPL-A, nothing happened when I did that to KPL-B. I have sensors for doors open/closed and lights on/off in my shop, and the lights on KPL-B keys are working correctly to show the status of the sensors. So I am assuming that KPL-B is communicating some way. I have not rebooted the ISY controller or a modem restore yet. Jim

My 2.5 year old 2413s died 2 weeks ago. No response to commands, programs not running, LED light out. I replace the caps per the list in this thread, LED now on, system taking commands from ISY now. Thank you to the folks who did the research on this issue and put together the parts list and supplier. But now when I startup the Admin Console it says that it can't connect with 2 of my 3 keypads. Is there something I should do to connect with them, I find it hard to believe that they would both go at the same time. One of them is only 4 months old. Would it hurt to do a modem restore even though I didn't replace the modem or do a factory reset? Thank you, Jim

New one is a dimmer module, I thought the old one was as well. I just pulled the old one from the garbage and it was a relay module, guess it is time to start programming. Thanks

Resurrecting an old thread as I have the same issue. I had a 6 button KPL that died, replaced it with a new one, I clicked on the old KPL and there was no option to replace it. My other 2 KPL's do show the option to be replaced, but not the dead one that I removed. Any suggestions on how to get the programs from my old KPL to the new one without lots of recoding?? Thanks

I called UDI, I was told a tech would call me back... nobody ever did. Did you download the file in that link or run it from the link? I tried to run it from the link and it didn't work.

I have the same issue, revoked certificate. I updated to the latest version of Java, cleared the cache... still the same issue, I can't access my console. Same expiration date, Aug-26, I am still running a ISY-99i, I have a 994 on order and I am trying to prepare my system for the upgrade. I tried the link Michel posted, but it told me that it couldn't find the ISY, it looked like it was looking for a 994.

I have the same problem since I updated Java, for now I am stuck with the ISY99. I tried the above procedure, but I don't have an "edit site list" button when I go into the Java console Security tab. Running Win7, Java SE 7 U51 10.51.2.13, firmware 3.3.10, any further suggestions would be appreciated. EDIT- I checked the Java version, it shows Version 7 Update 15 (build 1.7.0_15-b03). I tried to update the software and it said the latest version was already installed did I want to install it again!!?? I did clear the cache, including applications, rebooted computer.. didn't help. EDIT2- I found I had to delete the old versions of Java before it would run the new version of Java. Once that was done I had the "edit site list" button and I made the changes and all is now working... thanks to all for the various posts I found via search.

I already have the fixtures, I can post the ballast part numbers when I get home again in 2 weeks.

The fixtures are 8' long with 4- 4' T8 bulbs each, they are wired in strings of 3 fixtures. So far my electrical loads are one small air compressor, one garage door opener and never more than 2 of the 4 stings of lights on at a time. 100 amp panel installed in shop, I need to replace the panel in the house before I can properly wire/feed the shop. I know that I am at the limit of my extension cord power supply to the shop.

Interesting, I didn't know about these, but to do my whole shop with them would cost about $3100 for the bulbs!!! Filterlinks suddenly look cheap.

I rewired my lights from hardwired to plug in. The Filterlinks I ordered finally arrived, they fixed the issue. Now I can control the shop lights from in the house as well as in the shop. Just disappointed that it is going to cost me an extra $40 per lighting string, $160 minimum, to do the full shop lighting for the Filterlinks, plugs, socket and electrical box to make this work. Thank you all for your help and suggestions.

I created a scene and properly deleted the program I had written from the ISY and now it seems to be working properly, and responding quicker. The lights are medium quality and do have electronic ballasts. I am learning that the cheaper the fixture, the noisier the ballasts tend to be. I will also try a Filterlink and see if that helps. If I am installing 12 of these lights... I am going to have a ton of noise to deal with. Thank you to all for their help and suggestions, online and off. Jim

I am home again and have tried a few things, I found that the 8 button KPL in the house also no longer works properly. I tried using Event Viewer, but all the code stuff makes no sense to me. But I did get a popup window saying that ISY couldn't communicate with the IOLink relay when I tried to turn the light off. After more playing, it does seem that with the lights on, the signal does not make it reliably from the house to the shop. I spent some more time reading about 'scenes', I still don't understand them... but I was able to create one for the shop lights with the shop 6 KPL and now lights come on quicker, and now they shut off. But then they come on again and sometimes shut off again. I suspect that the 'scene' is turning them on/off, but the program I had in place is also turning them on/off and that is why they are turning off/on/off when I command them to turn off. If I wait 15 secs or more before I turn the light off, it stays off!!??Which leads me to the next question, how to I remove the existing program from the keypad. I tried 'deleting' it from the 'program' tab in the console... that worked, but how do I delete/remove it from the keypad?? I searched the Wiki and I couldn't find anything on deleting/removing programs... only creating them. Or did I just delete the program from the console and it needs to be deleted from the PLM.. I wish I understood this system better.. but thanks to your help I am getting there. I need to get this working with the florescent bulbs.. I am putting in 12- 8' 4 bulb fixtures to light the place and I am just dealing with the first 3 at this point. TIA

The 6 button KPL is not in a scene so the ISY is involved with this event directly. Only the garage door open sensor is in a scene. I tried to put both the KPL and the sensor in a scene and the Admin Console wouldn't let me. I have read the Wiki until I can't think straight trying to sort out how a 'scene' works and what the requirements are.... still have no clue. The 8 button KPL in the house is set up the exact same way as the 6 button KPL in the shop, and the 8 button works as programmed. I will spend some more time with Wiki reviewing these, thanks for the suggestions

Yes, I have two dual-band devices, verified one on each leg. I only have one leg going to the garage, but I guess I should check to see if the ISY is on that same leg, just to be sure. I am just surprised that the 6 button keypad can turn on the lights but it can't turn them off.

The shop lights are florescent. The lights, the 6 button keypad, the overhead door are all on the same phase in the shop... there is presently only one phase, a 110v feed via long extension cord, in the shop. The 8 button keypad is in the house, no idea which phase it is on, and it works fine. I am heading out of town until Thursday so I won't have a chance to test incandescent light until then. I still wonder why the lights turn on/off properly via the garage door sensor program and not the 6 button keypad. Thanks for the info on the .txt vs .xls viewing of log files. [edit] After reading some other posts, I may have found the answer to my question on why overhead door sensor controls the lights properly. If I remember correctly I have the lights included in a 'scene' with the garage door sensor and the 6 button keypad is not. The 6 button keypad signal has to go 140ft to the ISY and then return, the garage door sensor signals stay in the shop. Although that doesn't explain why the 8 button keypad in the house works fine. I won't be able to verify this until I return on Thursday. Hopefully the signal logs will also tell me something. [/edit] Thank you,

Hi, I have a set of lights in my shop that I control with an "InLine Link Relay", shop is about 130 ft from my house. I have an 8 button dimmer keypad in my house and a 6 button dimmer keypad in the shop. I also have a sensor on my shop overhead door to sense if it is open or closed. The lights are programmed to come on when overhead door opens and go off when the overhead door closes. This works fine. In the house on the 8 button keypad, I have a button on the keypad that is programmed to turn shop lights on when button is pressed on, and turn shop lights off when button is pressed off. This also works with no issues. In the shop I have the 6 button keypad set up the same as the 8 button keypad and programmed the same as the 8 button key pad. If I press the button on the 6 button keypad to turn on the light in the shop.. the light comes on. BUT, when I press the button to turn off the light, the light does not turn off, and I can't figure out why. If I open and close the overhead door.. the light will turn off. I tried programming different buttons in the 6 button keypad, same result. It will turn the light on, but not off. Is there any way to see/log the traffic so I can tell what is happening? I found something that looks like it might log the traffic, but it seems to require Excel to look at results and I don't have Excel on my computer. TIA, Jim

Lee, The PLM was the problem. The led on the PLM was red, I unplugged it and plugged it back in, did the same with the ISY, all is working now. I have had no issues with this system for 3 years, we recently had a "smart meter" installed, I hope this is not an indication of things to come. I have heard that smart meters can mess with home security and automation systems. Thanks- Jim

I dug up an old computer and accessed the console with it. I still get the red ! in front my devices, but now I get an error message saying it can't communicate with that device please check connection. I have not changed the connections. Any suggestions on what to look for?

My old XP laptop died, I now have a new Win7 laptop. I can access the console, used my old bookmark link, but now I have to login twice. I login to get into the console, then after console loads, it asks me to login again. In the console under Main, My Lighting, I can see the devices, but they all have red exclamation points in front of them. When I highlight a device, it does not show the present status. If I try to command a light on or off.. nothing happens. Any suggestions how to get this working again? What did I miss? The windows firewall was on, I turned it off, no difference. Thanks- Jim
