  1. That did the trick. Thanks again!
  2. Ever since I swapped out my PLM, I've noticed that there are certain devices that don't turn off and on consistently with the other devices in the scene. What is the best way to correct this problem? Should I remove the devices from the scene and then re-add them back, or is there a better option?
  3. Well, I appear to be back up and running. A few devices didn't update properly, but they seem to be working fine after manually updating them. I had to do all the leak sensors one at a time, but the Z-wave locks all updated by themselves during the normal PLM replacement process. I guess even though they are battery operated, they are always awake. Thanks for all the help, guys!
  4. Thanks for the link! I've read through the procedure and think I fully understand it. Once the PLM restore is complete, it sounds like I'll need to go through each battery powered device one by one, put them into linking mode, and then manually update them. I'm a a little nervous because I have so many devices, but hopefully I won't have too many problems. Wish me luck!
  5. I'm reviving this thread because I finally got around to picking up a new PLM. I'm ready to do the swap, but I have a couple questions. I have some battery powered devices such as leak sensors, z-wave locks, etc ... Should these be excluded when I do the swap, and then added back in afterward? If so, how do I do this? Is it simply a matter of making sure "Automatic Writes to Battery Powered Devices" is grayed out?
  6. I don't have any motion sensors. What do you mean by " ... program triggers that include the same device as a Then statement"?
  7. My ISY-994 has been pretty rock solid for years, but I suddenly started having some issues out of the blue the other day. About 75% of the Insteon devices in my house turned on spontaneously, and ever since then I have been having a tough time connecting to the ISY. Sometimes it works just fine, and other times I can't even access the ISY's admin console. My PLM is a 2413S (v 1.0). It has served me well for a long time, but I'm thinking it may finally be time for a new one.
  8. This is excellent information. I will certainly keep this in mind when setting up time based programs in the future. Thanks for all the help, guys!!!
  9. I didn't realize you could have one program run another program even if the second program is disabled. Good to know. Excellent! That's exactly what I want it to do.
  10. Thanks! You made me realize that I was keying off the status, when I should be keying off the control. I just tweaked the program. I think this will do what I want it to ... Entry Lighting - Front Door - [ID 0026][Parent 0025] If Control 'Z-Wave / Lock - Front Door' is switched Unlocked by Keypad And From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) Then Set Scene 'Entry Lighting' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
  11. I created a program that is supposed to turn on an "Entry Lighting" scene if the door is unlocked via the outside keypad after the sun has set. As it stands, the program is turning on the lights every day as soon as the sun sets. What am I doing wrong? Entry Lighting - Front Door - [ID 0026][Parent 0025] If Status 'Z-Wave / Lock - Front Door' is Access Code 1 And From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) Then Set Scene 'Entry Lighting' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
  12. What is an "echco 2"? Have they released a second generation?
  13. It has been a constant struggle with my wife trying to justify the Echoes and Dots, and an incident that happened the other day certainly didn't help. My wife and I were sitting in our kitchen when every single light in our house spontaneously turned on. I couldn't figure out for the life of me why. It turned out my nephew was in the basement trying to get Alexa to turn on something down there and he accidentally turned on the "Emergency Lights" scene that is linked to my alarm system. Oops!

    I know it bothers some people, but it's not that big of a deal just to say, "Turn on basement lights" or "Turn off master bedroom lights".
  15. gweempose replied to Paulk8's topic in Amazon Echo
    Perhaps they haven't rolled out the update to the first generation devices yet.

    It is my understanding that ESP (echo spatial perception) has now been enabled. Has anyone messed around with this yet? Does this potentially eliminate the need for multiple accounts?
  17. A hard reset fixed it. Everything is working as it should now. Thanks for all the help and suggestions!
  18. It's an ISY 994i / IR PRO running firmware v.4.5.1. I have a little over 100 devices on my network.
  19. All the outlets have pinball machines plugged into them, so the loads are very similar. I'd say they peak out at around 6-7 amps. There was no delay when controlling either outlet from the ISY's admin console or from MobiLinc on my phone. The outlet that is acting flaky is wired up using the same power and neutral wires as another Insteon On/Off Outlet that installed at the same time in the same junction box. The other outlet works as it should.
  20. I tried a soft reset to no avail. I just did a hard reset and I'm about to add it back to the ISY. I'll keep you guys posted.
  21. Oops! I forgot all about this thread. My buddy decided to go with Control4 instead of Insteon, so this thread is now somewhat moot. Thanks, anyway.
  22. I installed eight brand new On/Off Outlets yesterday (Model #2663-222). All of them are working perfectly except for one that will not work when it is part of a scene. I tried removing it and then re-adding it to the scenes, but it did not fix the problem. The outlet works fine if I control it individually. Any thoughts?
  23. I'm helping my friend set up some home automation in his condo. Does anyone know if there is a way to control Somfy blinds with an Echo?
  24. What exactly are you looking to do, Mitch? You specifically want to be able to control your Insteon devices with Siri?
