LeeG I don't know is you noticed but the list doesn't have error -6006 in it. Edit: The -5012 is UPNP error which probably came from selecting "Enable Internet Access". Are you having a problem with internet access?

The Global Cache iTach is an IP to IR bridge which any network device can control. The ISY with network module can control it. Also the iRule app will turn your iPhone or iPad into a remote control using this device. http://www.globalcache.com/products/itach/

Clearly Smart Home needs to develop an Insteon enabled AC unit and all your problems would be solved.

As far as I can tell there is no way to set the message sent. I seem to remember reading on this forum that the ability to set message text was on the todo list.

LeeG is right about about incandescent bulbs and their high current draw. A 120 Watt bulb will draw 1 Amp of current once it is hot. When cold the initial current can be upwards of 10 times higher. This is the reason the all Insteon switches have lower power ratings for incandescent loads. The head light in a car are a whole lot worse because the battery voltage is 12V. The typical 65W bulb draws 5.5 Amps hot but can see 50Amp inrush currents. The motors in the Air Conditioner also have higher startup currents than steady state but nowhere near the range of an incadescent bulbs

I had the same issue. Clearing the Java cache fixed it but I know I have cleared the cache numerous times with 2.8.1.

Getting the IOLinc to work with a garage door can be tricky. The state IOLinc sensor when linked affects how the IOLinc works. Especially the Momentary closing of the relay. Also the ISY will not show the correct relay state when one of the monentary modes is used. I am still working on my garage door setup but currently have a working set of programs. If you look at this post you will see some of my problems. IOLinc Query Here is my setup: IOLinc Sensor is connectly directly to garage door closed magnetic switch. This switch is closed when the garage door is fully closed. The IOLinc sensor LED is on when the garage door is closed. Originally I wanted to have the IOLinc sensor in a scene with a KPL button. This required the Trigger Reversed option. While it worked correctly when manually operated. As soon as an ISY query occurred the IOLinc Sensor state flipped which caused a lot of problems. The IOLinc Relay is configured for Momemtary A. My garage door switch closes each time the button is pressed. If the door is open it will close, if closed it will open, if opening it will stop..... I use a KPL in the garage to control the doors. The door button is configured as Non-Toggle[On]. I also configured an All Off button which will close all open doors. I configured two scenes: 1 - Linked the IOLinc Relay with the KPL button (controller) used to open/closed the door. 2 - Just the KPL button used to control the door for status. This program will close a garage door if All Off button is pressed. If the garage door is already closed it will not open it. Garage Door Close If Status 'Garage Door - Sensor' is Off And ( Control 'Garage KPL (Door) - H' is switched Off Or Control 'Garage KPL (Door) - H' is switched Fast Off ) Then Set 'Garage Door - Relay' On This is the Door Status Closed program. The KPL button used to control the door also shows the current door status. Door Status Closed If Status 'Garage Door - Sensor' is On And Status 'Garage KPL (Door) - B' is On Then Set Scene 'Garage Door Status' Off This is the Door Status Open program. Inverse of the Door Status Closed program. Door Status Open If Status 'Garage Door - Sensor' is Off And Status 'Garage KPL (Door) - B' is Off Then Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Garage Door Status' On The Close program has a significant limitation. If the garage door was stopped in the middle of a close cycle it will open the door. If the garage door is in the process of opening of closing the Close program will stop the door. I need to add additional functionaly get around these problems.

The admin console reports the correct model number. I added the device using auto discovery. BTW this device was a 2486SWH6 that I converted to an 8-button. In both configurations it was automatically detected correctly with Auto Discovery.

You mention support for the 2486SWH8. I have one of these devices and had been using it under 2.7.15 and it appeared to work correctly. Can you tell use what has changed? Should I remove it and add it again under 2.8.2?

My ISY was configured for a static IP address and since the file system was corrupted it may have lost that setting. I didn't check my DHCP server to see if was there. Formatting the card on a PC is a good idea. Maybe next time. The wiki does have info on connecting to the ISY via the serial port just not in your section on replacing the SD card. I don't think it is needed in the replacing the SD card section. I do have the ISY-99i with external access. PM me with your e-mail and I'll try to get you a picture.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I understood that the enable Internet access attempted to setp UPnP port forwarding on the Router so if that isn't enabled on your router it will fail. In my setup I don't have Internet acces enabled and I can still access my ISY from the Internet. I set the ISY Https port to 444 instead of the default 443 (I already have something else on port 443). On my router I setup port 444 to be forwarded to port 444 on my ISY IP address. My ISY has a static IP address to be safe. I know that this is the whole point of UPnP but I have had long term stability issues with UPnP. I can now access the ISY with https:\\my.external.ip.address:444\ The security warnings are normal because the SSL certificates are self signed and cannot be verified by any certificate authority. You might also consider generating a SSL certificate in the ISY this is more secure but will still produce security warnings. You can add your generated certificate to you browser as an authority and the warnings will go away. However, I would only do this if you trust yourself!

I too recently had a problem with a corrupt file system on 2.8.0. I decided to move my ISY-99i to a different location so I unplugged it moved it and when I powered it up I had a flashing Error Light. It had no access to the network (no ping, no telnet). So I hooked up a serial cable. This showed me it had a corrupt file system. I did a factory reset and then restore and was able to get everything running. The ISY was running fine before I pulled the power. I took a look at the wiki and it looks nice. You might mention that all commands must be in upper case, not just the 'Y' answer. This is what the manual states although I have never tried lower case command entries. Also maybe you could add a picture of the ISY with external SD access.

I had a little trouble with my upgrade but I didn't follow step 7 closely. Clearing the cache and launching the console again the right way and it works nicely. The In-LineLinc Dimmer can now be checked for On percentage in a program (if you let it autodetect when adding the device). I do have a question about the Dual Band 240 Load Controller (2477SA2) support. When I add the device I still only see the Control Part. As I understand the 2477SA2 also has load sense capability with links for both On and Off. I have added with auto-detect and manual selection. Am I missing something?

Here are my programs This one checks the Cool SetPoint and when somebody sets it below 77 I start a timer for 1 hour then change both heat and cool setpoints back to normal. The Heat change program is just the opposite. Thermostat Downstairs Cool Change If Status 'Thermostat Downstairs' is not Mode Off And Status 'Thermostat Downstairs' < 77° (Cool Setpoint) Then Wait 1 hour Set 'Thermostat Downstairs' 69° (Heat Setpoint) Set 'Thermostat Downstairs' 77° (Cool Setpoint) I also make sure the Mode is always automatic. Thermostat Downstairs Mode Change If Status 'Thermostat Downstairs' is not Mode Auto Then Wait 1 minute Set 'Thermostat Downstairs' Mode Auto I have two buttons on a KPL for Away and Home they are set for Non-Toggle Off. When the Away button is pressed the cool set point is set higher and the heat setpoint is set lower. This won't interfere with the Cool and Heat Change programs above. Thermostat Downstairs Away If Control 'Living Room Light (Door) - D' is switched Off Or Control 'Living Room Light (Door) - D' is switched Fast Off Or Control 'Living Room Light (Door) - D' is switched Fade Stop Then Stop program 'Thermostat Downstairs Home' Wait 10 seconds Set 'Thermostat Downstairs' 66° (Heat Setpoint) Set 'Thermostat Downstairs' 79° (Cool Setpoint) The Home Program Looks like this Thermostat Downstairs Home If Control 'Living Room Light (Door) - C' is switched Off Or Control 'Living Room Light (Door) - C' is switched Fast Off Or Control 'Living Room Light (Door) - C' is switched Fade Stop Then Stop program 'Thermostat Downstairs Away' Wait 10 seconds Set 'Thermostat Downstairs' 68° (Heat Setpoint) Set 'Thermostat Downstairs' 77° (Cool Setpoint) Hope these help.

When you add the Thermostat to the ISY you now get status update when the thermostat set points are changed manually. You can use programs to change them back. I let my wife adjust the thermostat manually but after an hour I set them back with the ISY. My away program adjusts the cool set point up and heat set point down. A press of the Home button on one of several KPLs and the set points go back to normal.

Common is the the reference point for the other wires and is required. What kind of system do you have? If you don't have enough wires for your install pull the wires out of the wall a bit because it is common to wrap unused wires around the cable. As another note if you are just replacing the existing thermostat and keeping the existing central air then the terminals are the same on the Venstar.

Im not sure that your program is doing exactly what you expect. In your conditions section you have this type of logic. Control 'Garage PIR-Sensor' is switched On And Control 'Garage Light' is not switched On As I understand control conditions they are only evaluated when the control is actuated. When you have 2 control conditions and'ed together you have a condition that cannot possible occur because you cannot receive 2 commands at the same time. Sometimes this still works because the control conditions remember their last state. Or'ing multiple control conditions will work fine. I would think you want the garage light to come on when motion is detected and automatically turn off 5 minutes after the last motion was detected. If during that time you turn the light on manually the 5 minute timeout should be aborted and a new timeout of 25 minutes should be started. Also any time the garage light is turned on you want it to turn off after 25 minutes. I would modifiy the programs as follows. This program turns the garage light on then off 5 minutes after the last motion is detected only if 'Manual Auto Off' program is not true Motion Auto Off If Control 'Garage PIR-Sensor' is switched On And Program 'Manual Auto Off' is False Then Set 'Garage Light' On Wait 5 minutes Set 'Garage Light' Off This program turns the garage light on then off after 25 minutes. It also stops the motion program timeout. Manual Auto Off If Control 'Garage Light' is switched On Then Set 'Garage Light' On Run Program 'Motion Auto Off' (If) Wait 25 minutes Set 'Garage Light' Off Run Program 'Manual Auto Off' (If) Notice that the 'Manual Auto Off' program runs its own 'If' when the timeout is done and the light is turned off. Programs that look for single control events are always true after the first time a control event occurs. Unless forced, programs like this are only evaluated when the control event occurs and since the if is checking the same event the program is always true. When the 'Manual Auto Off' program runs itself the if condition will always be false thus the program status will change to false. The 'Manual Auto Off' program status is used as a state variable in the 'Motion Auto Off' program. When the 'Manual Auto Off' timeout is in progress the 'Motion Auto Off' will not run. Keep in mind that the 'Manual Auto Off' program above only works if you actuated the switch to produce the 'On' command. If you double clicked (Fast On) or pressed and help (Fade Up) the program will not run. You can modify the program to catch these conditions also. Manual Auto Off If Control 'Garage Light' is switched On Or Control 'Garage Light' is switched Fast On Or Control 'Garage Light' is switched Fade Stop Then Set 'Garage Light' On Run Program 'Motion Auto Off' (If) Wait 25 minutes Set 'Garage Light' Off Run Program 'Manual Auto Off' (If)

If you look here http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=4784 you will see I had a problem with doing a Status on an In-LineLinc also. You problem is probably related to the same bug which should be fixed in the next release. Until then if you add your In-LineLinc manually you will see there are 2 type of In-LineLinc available. 1st [01.02] (2475D) In-LineLinc Dimmable 2nd [01.1A] (2475D) InlineLinc Dimmer Auto select seems to use the 2nd one which didn't work for me. I you manually select the 1st one it may work better.

The On Percentage is not available as an option in the Program.

Thanks for the quick response. Here are answers to your questions. ISY-99i IR Pro firmware is 2.7.15 The two In-LineLinc Dimmers as reported by clicking on the device in the navigation tree are (2475D) InlineLinc Dimmer v.38 I can dim them manually via KPL and via the ISY (Clicking on the device in the navigation tree and pressing the Dim and Brighten buttons) I deleted both the the In-LineLincs from the ISY. The first I added back manually. It shows up as: "(2475D) In-LineLinc Dimmable v.00". Even though it doesn't know the version number it works as expected. In a Program I can now select the On Level in percentage. The second I added back automatically. It shows up as: "(2475D) InlineLinc Dimmer v.38" This one works as before, I cannot select On Level as a percentage. I looked closer at the selection of the In-LineLinc when adding the device manually and noticed there are two In-LineLinc Dimmer options: 1st [01.02] (2475D) In-LineLinc Dimmable 2nd [01.1A] (2475D) InlineLinc Dimmer The 1st selection seems to work correctly but it doesn't recognize the version. The 2nd does not work but it recognizes the version. These are brand new devices. The physical label on the devices has the following information: 2475D v5.1 1014

New to Insteon and the ISY! I did quite a bit searching but was unable to find an answer to this question so forgive me if this has been answered before. I have set up a scene where several lights (2 KPLs, and 2 In-LineLinc Dimmers (2475D)) go on at 40%. This works fine. My next step was to turn off the KPL button lights when the user changes the state of any of the lights in this scene so that the KPL scene buttons accurately reflect the scene state. So I created a program to look at the status of these lights and to turn off a scene with just the KPL buttons as responders. If Status 'Kitchen / Kitchen Light (Hallway) / Kitchen Light - C' is not On And ( Status 'Kitchen / Kitchen Light (Hallway)' is not 40% Or Status 'Kitchen / Cabinet Lights (Sink Side)' is Off ) Then Set Scene 'Kitchen / Kitchen Morning Status' Off With the 'Kitchen Light (Hallway)' (KPL) I can check the percentage On (i.e. 40%). But with the 'Kitchen / Cabinet Lights (Sink Side)' (In-LineLinc Dimmer) I can only check the On/Off state. Is this normal? Shouldn't I be able to check the On percentage of the In-LineLinc too?
