Hi David, You need to select the Controller of the Scene before you can Adjust a responder's actions. The KPL button Action cannot be adjusted so it is not displayed in that drop-down. I agree it would be nice if Scenes could display nested controllers. Rand

Some servers require the entire User ID. Do you just have my_email_address or do you have my_email_address@yahoo? Rand

If most of the Failed devices are on the same circuit then you can search for a device on that circuit that is creating an issue. Rand

Hi dsdee, GUI oddities usually are due to the Java Cache. You should have the choice of any controller. When you access the ISY are you using the desktop icon created by http://www.universal-devices.com/99i/2.8.10/admin.jnlp? Rand

Hi JCBond, We can't seem to reproduce this. Do you have another SD card to test with? ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Replacing/Formatting_an_SD_Card Rand

Hi Orest, Have you tried this link? http://www.universal-devices.com/99i/2.8.10/admin.jnlp Rand

You could swap the old switch with a newer switch. If you don't plan to change the local level programmatically where the newer switch is now. Rand

Hi tpolito, You have to select the switch in the "In Scene" drop-down. Otherwise you are changing the level for the ISY scene. In this case the controller for the scene is the switch. What version is the switch? Older switches have to be power-cycled before a local change takes effect. Rand

That is odd. Programs are written to the SD card when saved. Saves the new then deletes the old. Unless it can't save the new. ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Tools_Menu#File_System_Status I will run a test. Thank you, Rand

Does anyone else recall Smarthome exchanging all the v1.0 motion sensors, or am I thinking of something else? Rand

Hi JCBond, Perhaps a silly question but are you selecting Save Changes after enabling the programs? Rand

If you need the buttons to follow on more than one device you will need to use programs. Use three scenes for the lights. Include all the On controller buttons in the appropriate scenes. Create a 4th scene containing all the KPL buttons. Build programs that turn Off the 4th scene before turning on the desired scene. If Control 'Family Room / FR KPL / FR KPL B' is switched On Then Set Scene 'Family Room / FR KPL All' Off <-buttons Set Scene 'Family Room / FR Dawn' On <-scene including the On buttons Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') In this case only buttons in the 'Family Room / FR Dawn' scene turn on. The other buttons remain Off. Rand

Good thing you mentioned the NOD32! You can add by New Device, if that is your preference. Use Auto Discover for most devices. Then the ISY will query the device for type and version. Start Linking adds the advantage of confirming communications before initializing the device. Rand

Yes, turn off HTTP filtering. NOD32 Firewall Resolution Rand

Hi Tom, What version firmware do you have in the ISY? Help | About. Are you prompted to put the RemoteLinc in linking mode? Hold the Bright and Dim for about 5 seconds until the LED begins to blink. Then Write Updates... Have you performed a factory reset on the motion sensor? Is the MS v1.0 or v1.1? Rand

If this is the case you must select the switch from the drop-downs in the Adjust Scene parameters. Rand

Here are some Wiki links: ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Scope,_Precedence_and_Execution_Order ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:How-To_Guide#Programs Rand

A difficult parameter to understand. Watching for On or Not On is a paradigm. It will certainly make things easier to create separate programs. Imagine a switch that can only be On or Off. No dimming. Like a Motion Sensor. If Control 'Outside Lights / Backyard Sensor' is switched On And Control 'Outside Lights / Backyard Sensor' is not switched Off Then Set Scene 'Backyard Motion' On Else Set Scene 'Backyard Motion' Off Other than the simple On/Off you will need a separate program with the other Conditions. Rand

Hi aLf, The certificates do not cost anything but you will have to accept the certificate from every browser you use to access the ISY. See Michel's link above: ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Remotely_Connect_to_Your_ISY#Creating_an_ISY_Self_Signed_Certificate Rand

Hi Corey, I always use scenes. Using scenes allows you to specify the ramp rate and level of every device in the scene. You can use multiple KPL buttons to control the scene if that is what you want. One downstairs to set that scene on and a different button to turn the scene off. Add both buttons to the scene as controllers as well as all the responders. Set the levels you desire for each responder. Copy Scene Attributes after you select each controller. Rand

Hi JODYO, There is a link in our MAC forum concerning the Airports. Airport Extreme Port Forwarding. If you don't need/want access to the ISY from outside your local network you only need to follow the instructions from Apple to reserve a DHCP address for the ISY. Providing a specific DHCP address for client computers Be sure the ISY is then set to DHCP. ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Network_Settings Rand

Hi jerlands, The light sensor will not send a command until there is no motion for 3 1/2 minutes AND then the light level changes. To experiment put the little devil in a drawer or cabinet for >3 1/2 minutes. Rand I thought something like that but I woke it by putting it in link mode, activated the motion sensor and then placed it in light but none caused it display. Also, now none of the functions, "Dusk/Dawn," "Sensor" or "Low Battery" are displaying the current state. I rebooted and now "Low Battery" and "Sensor" display.

Hi Tim, Since Michel thinks it may be an issue with querying the EZRain/Flora you might try to set it to Disabled. Then the ISY won't try to Query it. Your Programs and Scenes will still control the device. Rand

Hi apostolakisl, You should be able to set the security to Medium. You will also have to set Macros to run. IIRC you can set the macros to run only this instance or every time. ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Errors_And_Error_Messages#Viewing_the_Log_file Rand

Hi Brignolo, I could say it's nice to hear from you again except for this issue. IIRC there was an issue with HouseLinc setting a bit in the RL to make it stay awake. AFAIK the ISY has never set that bit, we use the default 4 minute time-out. Did you make some changes to the RL recently with the ISY? Did you press the Dim button to exit linking mode? Rand
