If you want to really add it and worry about the coupling later. Just wire it to an extension cord on the same leg as the PLM. Once it enrolls successfully you can take on the coupling / bridging. NOTE: Once you have enrolled the toggle linc expect unreliable command and control from scenes / programs until the above is solved.

I would start by upgrading your firmware to the latest 4.2.27 so everyone is using the same point of reference. As it included lots of fixs and security updates. Ideals are peaceful - History is violent

No.

All Beta updates are posted in this forum: http://forum.universal-devices.com/forum/15-current-release-betas-and-bug-reports/The latest release is 4.2.27 RC4: http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/15552-release-4227-rc4-is-now-avaialble/ Each release indicates what has been fixed, resolved, and upgraded.

OK, it finally happen again and I was able to take a screen capture so I wasn't drunk after all! I added both before and after so those who have some insight can ponder this odd behavior.

I can't offer any feedback since I don't own one. So either you trust the user reviews and gamble and try it out. Or consider other temperature monitoring solutions. Since you can't actually see and know the ambient temperature you need to trust the preset trip level is adequate. I personally would want to be able to see and monitor that value and also not rely on power line as a key method for monitoring. Ideals are peaceful - History is violent

Blackbird, You know what I was under the impression this device acted like a 1 wire sensor in that you could see the actual temperature values? When in fact this device simply open / closes its contact once a preset temperature has been met. Thus causing the I/O linc to trip and activate in your Insteon network. If this is the case the program above will not help you directly in terms of monitoring the temp. But, perhaps inform you the current state of the sensor of either open / close. My humble apologies in not reading the spec and being caught up with my own little world of monitoring!

Since its for a freezer I would gather its operating range would be 5 - 32'F (-15 - 0'C). They used to have a listed spec when it would trip but its since been removed. I would do a Google search or reach out to the vendor to find out the exact trip range. Once you know what it is you most certainly want to test it to ensure it does operate as expected. Once that is known you can follow the program from Xathros and all should be good. I have spent most of the afternoon creating energy, temperature, and force protection programs taking advantage of this excellent program. Let us know what you find out as I am sure this information will help out someone else down the road.

Hello Randy, Really looking forward to what you find out and what the API offers the end users. Please follow up with the group once you get more information and have the time to code and play with the box. Having a central device instead of carrying a phone would be most excellent and would finally round out my HA eco system.

You can not adjust the temperature of the sensor but you can certainly create a program with a temperature range you feel is safe. You can use this excellent small program offered by Xathros to assist you in this effort located here: http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/15547-setup-questions/ I use this elegant program to allow me to see the dynamic temperature changes as well as the last high / low temperatures in various parts of the home and infrastructure. I am in the process of using this program to track, monitor, and react to energy demands and consumption targets. Along with using them for fail safe items to protect the home and its occupants which encompass HVAC, Electrical, Water, Gas, Fire / Smoke, and force protection elements.

Yes it is. Ideals are peaceful - History is violent

From reading past threads and other forums. The Z-Wave standard indicates a class or type of devices should be supported. I gather some how the ISY has added these aspects by mistake. I would simply remove them and add it back in and all should be well. I have seen this persistent issue with the multi sensor from various people. Ideals are peaceful - History is violent

Just to be clear do you in fact have icon devices in the home? What does the label say for the brand new switch just installed? Ideals are peaceful - History is violent

As a data point I have several MS that are the same age and both of them auto update via HL2 with out issue. Using the ISY it does not so there is an obvious disconnect in how UDI has deployed their method etc. I have brand new MS which arrived during the XMAS sale and three of them will not auto update using the ISY. So clearly this feature needs more work because its not reliable in how it operates.

I have nothing of value to add to this conversation but this reply struck me funny!

I guess I can't throw too many stones at Smartlabs then can I? Sometimes I really wonder if some of these people step out of the bubble they surround themselves with.

Do these devices held in the iSY not have some kind of reset button / tab to do so?? It would be a little strange to force a user to enter a device directly to reset its values.

Status -> TSTAT Main -> Operator of choice -> Degree's of choice.

What is your method for measuring temperature?

Hello Rich, My reply has nothing to do with your current ask. However, I would like you to consider lending your voice to this *Wish List* thread in hopes of inspiring Smartlabs to make all their products natively beep and flash: http://forum.insteon.com/forum/main-category/new-insteon-device-wish-list/16482-native-beep-flash This would avoid the massive amounts of Insteon traffic on the power line / RF. NOTE: I know a few people are a fan of making their devices beep and flash. But realize doing this on a massive scale reduces reliability of the Insteon network and also impacts the ISY Series Controller as you noted also.

This was done quite a while ago in response to those who use dimmers. Instead of seeing only On, Off, it would show a percentage of on level. But I agree anything that is a relay should only display an option of On/Off because it makes no sense to have 1-100% when the device is not a dimmer.

Hello, If you have an electronic meter that uses ZigBee protocol and your POCO is one of many utilities listed as supporting the ISY-994 ZS. Then you can use this model to read the energy from the meter and craft programs to meet your needs. Another aspect is demand response which applies to the ZS model. If your POCO is not one of the listed companies participating in allowing the ISY Series Controller the next option is to purchase a ISY-994 IZ. This model will allow you to connect a Brultech ECM-1240 or a Green Eye Monitor (GEM) to the ISY Controller. You will see 7 to 32 channels which you can then craft programs to react to your environment and command those Insteon devices to turn on / off. One thing to note about going the route of the meter option from the POCO. As far as I am aware you're only going to see the total energy from the meter for what ever period of minutes, hours, days, etc. There is no method to see down to the circuit level and in my eyes is really a waste of time and effort. This is why if you're even going to begin this great journey then I would highly suggest you invest in a Brultech GEM. The Brultech GEM offers 32 discreet energy, 8 Temperature, 4 Pulse channels which can monitor water / gas. If you're interested and want to know a lot more you may follow this link: http://www.brultech.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=929 The above resource outlines all of the products and more. Along with ongoing development of many new products which in many ways integrate well with the ISY Series Controller. This install thread details many aspects of the set up, pitfalls, and trouble shooting. This is another related link about the Brultech Dash Box and what it offers in complimenting the energy data being monitored: http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/13801-dash-box-state-variables-now-supported/

Rick, Based on your reply that is perfect!

Hello Rick, Normally its best practice to manually change and configure the KPL to 6 to 8. Then, add it into the ISY Series Controller this ensures no conflicts when programming is done.
