Yes, that was my personal experiences on getting newer style KPL's to respect the OEM LED levels. It should be noted HL2 is EOL so I unsure if current hardware is supported as I have nothing to compare to. I normally use it strictly for testing, trouble shooting, and diagnostics. In this case I used it to reset the LED levels to a my liking. Ideals are peaceful - History is violent

You're not imagining anything what you have stated is correct. To be clear what you're seeing happens to newer devices that are hard reset. The older hardware / firmware KPL's always came back to the OEM *default* lit value so I had a reference. Doing the same thing in various iterations of KPL hardware / firmware never came back to the OEM state. I am unsure how that can be but it appears to me once the table has been written to the increments must be modified with something like HL2 software. This is what I did to hardware that would not reset after a hard restore of the KPL.

I believe its best to reach out to the vendor to confirm 100% instead of guessing. While the advert loosely indicates the siren uses 128 bit encryption and since its using the generation 500 chip set its assumed that it does. It would defeat the whole purpose if it didn't and by default its a repeater so it can't be a repeater if it doesn't repeat secure connections? Clear as mud?

EricK, For the benefit of others can you state the hardware revision, production date, and the ISY firmware level. It should also be noted all of the Open-Close sensors continue to be referenced as a Trigger Linc. Pressing on the unit a second time I believe is to do a multi unlink.

Yes, I agree and if (I) had a preference I would humbly suggest you purchase a On-Off Module instead of the *Range Extender* (RE) as it will allow you to have dual use should it ever be required. The RE only serves one purpose and that is to bridge / couple your electrical system and help translate RF only devices to power line. Distance is not an issue its line of sight that matters. Anything in the way of the RF signal will absorb or deflect that signal.

This assumes its a coupling / bridging issue and not related to any noise makers / signal suckers.

The O/I Linc is not a dual band device and runs its communications via the power line. You will need a few more Insteon dual band devices or a *Range Extender* to help couple / bridge your network. If after confirming proper coupling / bridging and you still see a lack of COM's this usually indicates noise makers / signal suckers in the area. Many people have seen much older GFCI's giving Insteon users issues. But since its not connected to this circuit (assuming) the breaker at the panel is not a GFCI breaker it could be the GDO / light.

Yes, you will find various iterations of (years) the KPL hardware / firmware had changed and some of these minute changes were done and undocumented. Keep us all in the loop as to how you get on and what the final results are. For the benefit of others please state the hardware Revision, production date which is stated on the face of the product and the ISY firmware level. I am sure this information will prove helpful to someone else down the line. As an aside many folks have purchased a (used) House Linc (HL2) kit and used it to perform similar changes outlined by LeeG. You also have the benefits of making other global changes sometimes not offered by the ISY Series Controller.

Yes, the only method that I know of is either to play with all combinations or reset the switch. This problem has existed for years. Ideals are peaceful - History is violent

I received four brand new open-close sensors which I knew were older stock. I was very pleased to see the heartbeat and jumpers still in place! Your device must have been much older stock laying around. Ideals are peaceful - History is violent

GDO are offered primarily as a of convenience the fact you can open - close a door is simply a side effect of security. As I have written many times before security is a lifestyle of awareness and knowing the areas of faults and opportunity of penetration. In more than 25 years in the security field I have yet to see ten houses in a row actually deploy any real security in their homes. 90% of the populace simply do with out and what ever is presently in the home thats what they use. 5% of the populace install some form of noise maker in the hopes of deterring potential thieves. Of the 5% of these people only 50% of them actually have their system monitored by a certified CS (Central Station). Of the remaining 3% of the populace upgrade their dead bolts / door knobs. Of those 3% that do are basically living a lie in thinking these automated locks are providing themselves any real force protection. It doesn't and simply siphon's money out of their thin wallets . . . The remaining 2% are the only people who truly understand what security is. That is its a lifestyle, being aware, not advertising, and running stealth. These people use force protection as the first line of hardening the premises. It is not a second thought or option it is the primary option and deployed first! One only needs to go to NYC and see almost every building covered in rot iron gates, doors, bars etc. Does anyone believe this is simply for looks? This was done because no matter how loud a siren is, or how bright a strobe is, or even how fancy a lock set is with BLE, remote status. You simply can not breach a out-swinging rot iron door in 30 seconds. Couple this with solid door reinforced strike plates, door jambs, door guards, and of course a real mechanical dead bolt. As oberkc indicated life is about balance and compromise . . . I know lots of folks who live deep in the sticks and locking ones doors, leaving keys in the ignition is a way of life. Those who live in larger cities or where crime is prevalent need to do more. To be fair to Smartlabs Insteon has never been endorsed as being a security system but does add value and auxiliary support to an existing security alarm system. People simply need to be realistic about what it can do and limitations of such.

1. Do you have trigger reverse enabled in the I/O Linc? 2. What type of sensor do you have? The little small one offered currently by Smarthome or the larger SECO-LARM 226L-3 unit? 3. Open and close the GDO five times and watch the status of the *Sensor* does it reflect the correct state? Perform a query and confirm the state of the sensor does not change.

If your router supports No-IP you will simply use it from there no computer application required. Keep in mind all DDNS services prohibit excessive polling (keep alive) pings to something like once every X hours. Paid services allow shorter polling intervals. BTW: Asus offers their own DDNS service so you won't have to pay or use that sh^t No-IP service. [emoji5]️[emoji4] Ideals are peaceful - History is violent

Doesn't post 15 give the details to adjust the volume? http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/16395-aeon-aeotec-gen5-siren/?hl=parameter&do=findComment&comment=142766

I took a little different approach given my abilities and current needs. I have the ISY Series Controller on a shared UPS system which monitors the power to the circuit to the PLM. If power is lost to the dedicated PLM circuit it will invoke a program to cycle the power to the ISY Series Controller. It has been programmed to delay the turn on sequence for 10 seconds. A safety watch dog timer monitors the entire homes electrical system and compares the incoming POCO power vs the point of use outlet for the PLM and ISY. If both agree the power (voltage) has been lost it will initiate the power cycle. This insures the ISY is always rebooted if the PLM has lost a (defined) power ability. With respect to Tesla's Power Wall lots of us are eager to see this product come to market in 2016.

Last year Smartlabs released a hardware revision v.2.0 which was stated to have addressed the early failures by replacing the affected capacitors. Perhaps this hardware revison 1C includes the new ALL ON / ALL OFF firmware update which was Beta tested in the HUB PLM by a few Insteon users?

I actually have both 4826 & 4818 units on hand. Interesting the manual indicates the 4826 does couple both single split phase and assists in X-10 communications. But, it also states it doesn't impact Insteon signal integrity. The only reason I decided to install and use the 4826 over my other 4818 passive coupler is that I have considered purchasing a few X-10 devices for a project. Unfortunately I have been side tracked on other projects and never got around to it. I haven't seen any Insteon signal degradation in my own environment at all using this active X-10 repeater.

I don't believe you're going to receive a reply as to how many units are in the *wild*. Keep in mind there are two numbers which often get quite skewed given the marketing wizards. One is actual units sold to end clients and the other is the units sold to resellers. We have all seen million units sold stats when in fact these aren't true number and can be at anytime negated. If I don't sell XXX wares I can always ship it back to the vendor like Smarthome, Home Depot, Best Buys, Walmart, Manards etc. All of these huge businesses have existing contracts where they can take on stock of items. If they don't sell or meet their sales expectations these units can be shipped back. So in essence you could have 1 million units in the distribution chain. While in the same breath these same 1 million units could be returned at anytime and that unit sale would not be accurate. The only true measure is the unit sold to end clients in the wild . . .

Are you talking about a data collision?

I believe the number of units sold to date is held private for what ever reason? I've seen this same behavior in other smaller companies which I really don't understand. There isn't a central directory that tracks the API's created to interface with the ISY that I am aware of.

My (limited) understanding is UDI is working or has implemented cross protocol control. I would post your question in one of the beta release threads like the 4.3.8 RC4 one.

I think if Smartlabs continued to sell the dryer linc this would help address the whole physical coupling. All the while not eating up the breaker slots. I've enjoyed my dryer linc for years and was one of the best solutions ever offered by Smartlabs! What a shame they decided to kill off this product because it just worked . . .

Yes, if you purchase the frame kit and than add a standard decora face plate. It will look just like a wall mounted KPL. I have several installed where I needed a remote keypad. In several areas where I didn't want to do the whole recharging thing those units are hard wired via a micro USB cable. [emoji4][emoji5]️[emoji6] Ideals are peaceful - History is violent
