Perfect, thanks, confirmed it is the PLM address. Now when I get back home I can test if its working.

OK I restored the device (SL) as instructed, then I went into the link record and now I see an "E2 01 ......." - see attached pic. I will have to test when I get home if the SL is working now correctly. Is the 25.16.A1 a device or is it my PLM? I don't see it in my list of devices. EDIT: Forgot to add screenshot. Why do I always have to edit my posts?!

The SL is was located in the place it needed to be for the Event Trace shown. Attached is my Links Table, which it appears its tied to a device of 25.16.A1 that I do not have. This is even after restoring the PLM which I thought removed the dead links/devices. EDIT: Screenshot attached

So I moved the SL to another plug and it works fine ON/OFF - so the SL is not defective or the issue. So it must be a communication issue where its plugged into. Not sure how or if I can actually fix it so I may have to just forget the whole idea. I can query it fine but the state is not being switched ON/OFF when the device is changing. This is hooked up to an electronic thermostatic valve so I can't move it to another plug etc. Here is my log when I query the device. The SL address = 19.8F.A7 - I put a filter on it as well without success. Anyone have ideas? I need it to control an exhaust fan so a "X" min query program won't really work well for this situation. Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks thats what I was thinking about doing too. Will report back this weekend my findings.

MyQ uses a different method for the open/close button and therefore cant work directly connected to an IOLinc. I have a MyQ system and whats already been suggested is the only way unfortunately. I havent seen any release of the APIs/REST commands either allowing us a nicer workaround. Soldering wires to a remote then connecting them to the IOLinc is the best way at the moment to use an insteon device to control the GDO.

So I removed the SL and then restored the PLM. Then added back to SL and can now can access the options without an error. The options are being saved and the SL light turns green/on and red/off as expected HOWEVER it does not seem like the SL is sending the actual on/off commands. Nothing is showing in the event viewer when it turns on/off. If I query the SL in the admin console then it shows the proper status. Is this a communication issue? I have two door sensors and two switchlincs in the same area that are working perfectly, so its strange just the SL is having a issue. Maybe its defective?

This is what I do and it works well.

So to be clear if I restore my PLM to clear the missing devices, I skip the battery devices? None of the "missing links" are from a battery device. If this is the case then that will be MUCH better!

Thanks LeeG. What a PITA for two deleted devices. Now I have to put all my motions, water leak detectors, door sensors, etc in linking mode just to do a Restore Modem (PLM)! Just another "to do" for this weekend.

Hmmm looks like possibly an old device that was removed but still in the PLM link table. Anyway to remove it from the PLM without the device? EDIT: I just did a query and found a couple more. Whats the best way to either remove them or fix this?

I just added my first Synchrolinc and adding the device went fine however when I click on the "options" button in the ISY admin console I get a "Request Failed" error. There is no prompt to click and hold the set button down till it flashes to enter the options and the manual only says to use the to set for "load sense" but that should be for outside the ISY. Is this truly a communication error or am I dong something wrong? I don't have any communication errors normally in my home so its strange this is happening so figure I must be doing something wrong. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help. EDIT: Added my log. Looks like there maybe a communication issue. The last two lines the HOPS=0. No error adding the device or removing it just changing the options. I plugged a filter on the synchrolinc for the item its attached too as well just to see if it helped and it didn't.

Sorry cant help but wanted to say what you have done here is very impressive. Are you doing anything else to record these readings in a spreadsheet for charting/graphing? Would be cool for historical purposes.

Nothing more to add but +1 to what Paul said and I am too waiting.

So I changed the url to remove the 0030 which was added by the mapper, made the desired friendly name as Living Room Shades and now everything is working. I can actually say "Alexa open living room shades" and they will open by running my programID 003C, and then I changed the close url to program ID 3D and now can say "Alexa close living room shades" and they will close". Pretty snazzy stuff. Thanks bartenders for pointing out the 0030 that fixed it. I didn't want to mess around with the urls but that was the fix. Off to go play around some more.

So I changed it to "Living Room Shades" the On URL = http://username:password@ip:port/rest/programs/0030/003D/runThenbut the console and url are giving me a error 404. The program works fine through the admin console of the ISY. Maybe I will just wait a bit longer until the Skills are available. Its a "program" though not a device. My devices work fine. Results from the url direct in the browser = <RestResponse succeeded="false"> <status>404</status> </RestResponse>

Quick question. I am still using the mapper and have added a couple programs. I named them "Open Living Room Shades" and "Close Living Room Shades". However Alexa is back talking me, telling me I have multiple devices named that and she wont run the program. Should I be naming them something smaller? Maybe the command is wrong? Do I say "turn on open living room shades"? Or what?? The programs have been discovered. Thanks in advance for the help.

Thats great news! Thanks for all the hard work it took to do this.

Why even use a switch at all?! Get an Amazon Echo and be done. /half sarcasm But the Echo would work and you dont need to wire anything. Just a thought.

Yes this is done as a program. Have one program set the ISY variable to 1 when you arm to away mode. Then when have a program that when you disarm the alarm it sets the variable back to zero. Then have a program when it sees the variable change from 1 back to 0 run the program you want. You do have to the Elk module for the ISY. Hope this helps.

No need for a custom program just use Evernote! I personally love the service and seriously no exaggeration I cant imagine my life without it. Its on my top 10 favorite apps and pieces of tech. There is a paid and free versions. Just create a notebook called receipts, make a new note whats on the receipt and snap a pic. Then when you need it you can just print it back out! Done. Simple and OCR enabled. I also have a "User Manual" notebook and when I make a purchase I spend a couple minutes online to find the pdf version of the user/installation manual and put the pdf in Evernote. Then for example if I need to replace the water filter on the fridge and forgot to write down the model number for it and am at the store I just open Evernote app, search for "water filter" and am good to go! I pay for the premium version as I use this app daily. Needless to say my whole life is in it. Articles from websites, paint colors and pics of the labels of the can, recipes, wines I liked plus the labels, etc. the only thing is it wont create a list of items in my house but I can live without that. Back on topic, I have about 40+ Home Depot EcoSmart (made by Cree) recessed can lights with trim in my home. Its a custom built home and I been here two years. I have had about 4 failed bulbs but HD swapped them out with no problems. Sometime last fall I did notice the EcoSmart brand (owned by HD I believe) did get switched to another manufacturer. I ran to a bunch of other stores and bought backups of about 20 bulbs while they still were Cree. My concern was if the Cree bulbs with 5000k daylight would be the same color as the new manufacturer. Most of them were just flickering and died about 4-6 months in, so hoping the lights that I do have now are going to make it. I do dim them every night and havent seen that being more/less of an issue. Side note I do own the Philips A19 LED for my lamps and have not had any duds with them. FWIW

Did the MeanWell work for you? Can you post the model number for the power supply and LEDs? I don't mind paying for quality stuff. Nothing I have found so far will allow me to use a lamplinc to control/dim before the power supply/transformer. Everything I found needs the dimmer to be after the transformer and before the LEDs after its converted from 120V to 12V. What am I missing here? For example the MeanWell PWM-120 looks like it would work but then you look at the installation manual and the dimmer is after the power supply. Am I overthinking this and being dense? Is it really this hard?

Larry thanks for this info however I am looking for actual LED strips in 5K WHITE for not only under cabinet lights but toe kick areas as well that can be controlled by Insteon & ISY. The Hue and MiLights are all Bulbs and puck lights.

Anyone have any updates/progress/information on this? Its now moved up to a priority in my "To Do" list.

Your such a kill joy! #MERICA!
