Also the on-off module does not use blink on TX. It's blink on error. Whereas the other is LED on TX. Ideals are peaceful - History is violent

Over the years some of the devices firmware features have been renamed. However, I do agree that all options should be made available if the product supports it. If you do a search under my profile you will see where I first asked this same very question. The current shipping lamp linc is still missing several options which are clearly listed in the full users manual. Ideals are peaceful - History is violent

If the device is in safe mode nothing will operate as you expect. You will want to install the firmware outlined by Michel that avoids the whole issue. There is no downside here for those with a hybrid environment. Ideals are peaceful - History is violent

Please keep in mind if finances are not readily available for such hardware. Two of the easiest things to do is leave items not regularly used unplugged. Next, assuming the home is wired appropriately is to switch off breakers. If the above are not possible solutions for you. Then installing one or more of the SPD's are a good solution. As indicated above using a UPS system provides back up power but does not automatically mean it will provide frequency regulation. Most lower cost UPS also provide modified sine wave and not a pure sine wave as seen from the POCO. Also it should be noted many SPD's have a huge voltage range before they step in. That can exceed 85 VAC to 170 VAC. Most electronics however are designed to operate in this range without much issue. Depending upon what the appliance is sometimes there can be issues with low voltage conditions. When devices need steady state power a AVR system should be used.

The following devices protect my home from surge events: Type 1: http://www.leviton.com/OA_HTML/SectionDisplay.jsp?section=39659&minisite=10251 Type 2: http://sycomsurge.com/products/SYC_120_240_T2-4-3.html Type 3: http://www.leviton.com/OA_HTML/ProductDetail.jsp?partnumber=7280-W&section=39994&minisite=10251 Type 3: http://www.panamax.com/Products/In-Wall/MIW-SURGE-1G.php Type 3: http://www.panamax.com/Products/Floor-Models/MFP-300.php Type 3: http://www.tripplite.com/isobar-8-outlet-surge-protector-12-ft-cord-3840-joules~ISOBAR8ULTRA/ Type 3: http://www.tripplite.com/surge-protector-isobar-2-outlets-direct-plug-in-1410-joule-black~ULTRABLOK/ Isolation Transformer: http://www.tripplite.com/isolator-series-120v-1000w-isolation-transformer-based-power-conditioner-4-outlets~IS1000/ Regulated AVR: http://www.tripplite.com/line-conditioner-2400w-avr-system-automatic-voltage-regulator-power-conditioner-ac-surge-protector~LC2400/ APC Whole House Symmetra 120/240 VAC: http://www.apc.com/products/family/index.cfm?id=189 It should be noted the Panamax SPD's use a licensed proprietary hardware feature which is called *Protect or Disconnect*. Unlike other MOV, SAD, Diode, etc. There is nothing sacrificial with in the device so there is nothing to burn up or break down. As I have mentioned many times in this forum and others surge protection must be staged and applied in a tiered fashion. No amount of surge protection will protect your home or electronics from a low voltage / high voltage condition, none. No surge protector will protect you from a frequency drift unless designed to do so. No surge protector will protect you from in band surges most commonly found generated within the home: Fridge, Sump, HVAC, etc. This is why point of use Type 3 SPD's must be used because there are more micro surges caused by in band devices than what comes from the outside. Regardless of all the tech, bells and whistles, no amount of surge protection will protect your home from over the air EMI from a lightning strike which causes induction into the wire. As stated by others above proper grounding and a low resistance ground is the primary method to shunt to ground any surge faults. Besides using all of the above gizmo's you really need to have good home owners insurance to cover your home and its appliances etc. This is the only thing that will make you whole as you will often times find the so called lifetime warranty isn't worth the paper its printed on. Lastly, almost every manufacture has specific requirements to put in force their warranty coverage. Do not gloss this over or fail to read the *small print* etc.

Are you sure the trigger reverse is not set? Also which magnetic sensor do you have the new one which is very little? Ideals are peaceful - History is violent

There is no harm using the HUB / HL2 to enable those options. So long as you delete it from the various systems when done. It should also be noted if you ever use the LED brightness via the ISY Series Controller. You will find that the default LED brightness is much dimmer than how the device came from the factory. In some cases even hard resetting a piece of hardware has no affect on restoring the LED brightness. So please keep this in mind should you ever consider making this change. I've seen this odd behavior on the KPL's, plugin lamp linc and On-Off modules that just came out. Nobody has been able to explain why performing a hard reset does not in fact bring the device back to a OEM state. It comes across that the ISY has some unknown ability to over ride these values in the hardware.

Unfortunately, one would think since its 2015 that manufacturers would use all that vast knowledge, techniques, and design principles they garnered over the years to produce a long term reliable product. The reality is its the race to the bottom and most of that is driven by consumer demands. I can freely admit I want cheap things because it helps the pocket book and offers value. So I know I am also part of the problem and over the last ten years of tried very hard to change my attitude and focus on rewarding those that truly produce top notch products and hardware. I lived and breath on the cheap and know 70% of the time I made out like a bandit and received lots of value for my money. While on the other side of that the remaining 30% I was a sucker and got what I paid for. Pure junk because I was simply being a cheap aszz! No more . . . My mentality is spend my money once and spend it well! In the last ten years there hasn't been very many regrets or *I wish I should have* situations. Why? I stopped, looked, and listened to those before me that provided not only insight but personal experience of a product etc. I don't know how people feel about the Internet as a whole. But I can tell you from a personal view I love the Internet and the ability to share, learn, and obtain almost anything I want. In the end all of use need to change our buying habits and reward those makers that produce top quality products with their finances. Nothing speaks louder than ones pocket book! There is a custom program that I will try to find for the forum members. This program was created by another forum I was active on more than 15 years ago. This novel program allows a person to inventory any item they want in their home. The main feature which many love is having the ability to create categories along with embedding a photo whether it be the item or receipt or both. Then you have a area where you can write down a description of the item with what ever details you wish. This data base then can be saved to a USB drive, CD, DVD, or to the cloud like SkyDrive, etc. In the end it allows a person to have a scanned copy of a receipt, photo, and description and is great for insurance purposes! I've been meaning to use this small software application for years but have opted to use whats convenient at the time which is my phone and then its simply synced to the cloud and I always have a receipt and photo for historic recall.

LOL . . . Even the 51st State does too!

That's just awesome I can't wait! [emoji2] When we cut off electricity, water, and many natural resources to the USA. 26 of the 50 States will either be thrown back into the Stone Age. Or simply all die off from a lack of water! [emoji4] By default we just have to wait it out until tens of millions of people get into civil war kill one another. While we sit back and wait to take over the free land! Awesome . . . I love American politics ! Ideals are peaceful - History is violent

Understood and agree! I guess when you're used to seeing and using 2 form factor authentication it seems weird that an appliance or device such as a ISY Series Controller is simply being tasked with a more complex password and not actually being challenged with a follow up SMS message etc. Obviously the ISY can't reply back with the inbound SMS because its not aware of it. I guess since I was already using a random password generator it didn't seem like this offered more. But with respect to the actual GMAIL account there is no doubt it does and I do enjoy this ability. Sometimes it gets a little tedious getting a phone call or SMS to the cell phone. But when you have been doing similar things but in a much more intense fashion its just part of the process most of us are forced to use and reluctantly have to accept and get used to. Again, thank you for letting me know this feature exists as the account I use for the ISY is only dedicated to send message from the ISY Series Controller and never took much thought about making it more secure.

MF_Bra, Much thanks for bringing this ability to my attention. It must have been awhile since I looked into this. Because I believe two years ago Googles mail service didn't support devices like the ISY Series Controller in this manner. Because the old and existing method always sends a SMS message code as a challenge as part of the 2 form Auth. Just curious how this provides more protection to the ISY? Or to my gmail account when the device isn't being challenged at all and simply uses a complex 16 digit pass code? [emoji53] Ideals are peaceful - History is violent

This App password is used instead of the normal gmail password that is populated in the ISY within the SMTP settings? [emoji53] Ideals are peaceful - History is violent

I haven't done this can you outline the steps to complete this task? Ideals are peaceful - History is violent

MustangChris04, Can you share your use case and over all intent in having the ability to send the Level 3 logs to a SysLog server?

To add to the information provided by Paul. Do not enable 2 form authentication on your GMAIL account. As the ISY Series Controller does not support such features. Ideals are peaceful - History is violent

Given the low voltage you indicated above I would think it would be enough to trip the I/O Linc safely. Using a photo cell unless properly fined tuned and balanced to pick up the LED light may prove a hit or miss affair.

My personal observation is the latest PLM units RF output is much stronger than years past. This is causing near field over load on the 2440 Remote Lincs which explains those instances. It does not explain why this problem has impacted a couple of users who did not receive a new PLM upgrade though. Then again maybe the OP's never clearly explained they did in fact receive a new PLM and thus the same issues.

Hello Harold, That is great to hear! [emoji4] Ideals are peaceful - History is violent

Not sure where you got that information but they are. Members have indicated that this particular remote needs to be positioned very far away from the PLM to enable linking. Ideals are peaceful - History is violent

Received another Open - Close sensor the other day with a hardware production date of 4114, revision 1.B, ISY firmware listed as v.43. This is the first Open - Close / Trigger Linc that does not have the mechanical jumper. I understood that the next Beta release would offer a software option to access the jumper feature. Also, this version like many others does not have the ability to set the battery / heartbeat node values. I was a little disappointed in that because there is a project I wanted to test out with these new options.

I received another 2852-222 Leak Sensor which indicates a hardware production of 4314, Rev 2.3 and ISY firmware of v.43. As others indicated this version of hardware does not seem to toggle the sensor from on to off when pressed? To confirm a few basics and expected behavior placing the sensor in a plate of water caused the device to immediately send a wet on. The dry node indicated off in the Admin Console, as expected. Watching the leaks sensor the LED flashed about every 15 - 17 seconds. Taking the unit out of the plate of water did not make the node change state which was also expected in the Admin Console. While viewing the sensor in a dry state the LED indicator stopped flashing?? I have to assume that meant it was no longer wet. Taking this test one step further I linked the leak sensor to a KPL status bar. Placing the sensor in a plate of water caused the expected KPL status to light up. As I reset the KPL status each time the leak sensor flashed its LED the KPL status also came on? This repeated about 4-5 times and no other ON's were seen from the unit. As indicated above after drying the sensor pressing the reset button did not in fact change the nodes state from wet off, to dry on. It did however continued to send another ON to the KPL status bar?? I am not sure why the engineers have decided to go this way but find this a little odd. I will be testing a couple more later this week and see if they react the same. Right when you thought you knew the expected behavior of how these things operate. Surprise . . .

Hello Michael, For the benefit of the forum members can you please indicate what the sticker says for the hardware production date is along with the ISY firmware version.

Yes . . .
