Grounding is critical in any electrical system. I would have to gather this was your problem. A PSU will only provide what ever the load requires it doesn't matter how big it is. That simply allows you to provide more current to the device should it require it.

Good for you in finding that little sucker. [emoji4] Next time maybe place some high vis tape on the sides or face for the just in case! [emoji5]️[emoji6]

I'm going to a site that has some older devices which span several hardware changes from what is presently being sold today from Smartlabs. Is there currently any limitations on how far back a device can be replaced by the: Replace With? I ask because there are some related threads where people have indicated replacing a exact KPL relay / dimmer did not work. When I looked deeper into why it didn't work at first blush it appeared to me that the device in (general terms) was the same product but in reality was not. ie. KPL dimmer called 24XX what ever compared to 2334-222, 2334-232 would not replace properly. Some of it I can understand like when they changed out the KPL relay from single band to dual band. I just want to avoid having to sit there for twenty hours when we should have simply added the device and associated the new device to the programs and scenes from the onset. Insight

I would perform a query first as one program so the on / off module would refresh its current state. Once known your second program could activate. You can also use IS RESPONDING / is not RESPONDING to ascertain its current status. I also agree with Stu you should deploy another range extender near this location.

How much square foot area do you have look around in?

I have several iMeter Solo's that I have just redeployed in my network. I would like to update the power readings and the KWH consumed from a program. What is the correct method to do this query update in five minute intervals, forever?

I would break out the rake and start from one end and work your way back. If it's still sending you messages it can't be too far or buried too deep. [emoji53][emoji47] Encrypted By: Phoenix Security Solutions

Randy, Looking forward to reading more of what you find out in terms of open API. Please do keep us all updated as I am keen on having a central LISTENING HA Device work with my existing system. What tempers me is the long term support and guidance this product has. UBI in its current form is a fail in my eyes. Lots of promises but very little substance In terms of actual features that work as intended or advertised as so. [emoji52][emoji58][emoji55] Encrypted By: Phoenix Security Solutions

Yeah, lots of investment on line now regarding the 1 wire. Long term I won't need to worry about batteries or limiting the amount of calls / updates to the system impacting any type of battery life. The biggest problem I had with these little box's is that they would not fair too well in -45'C to +53'C temperature conditions they needed to be. I do envy the whole IFTTT model and the solution it provides to the ISY. I am going to sit on the fence and see what 5.XX brings along with 2015. As some people have whispered in my ear some big things on the way. [emoji4][emoji5]️[emoji50] Encrypted By: Phoenix Security Solutions

I wanted to close up this loop. All is well in the Teken household and thank both LeeG & Stu for the insight.

Yes, I noted the price increase was double! This is why I even considered this product because cost per sensor was simply outstanding. But, if the reported values are inaccurate there is no sense in even having them. Considering if they are being used in mission critical areas like fridge, freezers, HVAC, etc. This is why even though it pained me to do this. I ran almost two miles of Ethernet CAT6 cable and hardwired everything into a massive (72) 1 Wire sensor network. The only thing I have pending is a humidity solution but I was just advised by the vendor (alpha support) has been released on a third party 1 Wire temp / humidity sensor. I plan on engaging the 3rd party vendor to confirm they are using the correct IC to make this all happen. If so, I will be in great shape and will be able to integrate this solution into my existing network and have all the readings viewed in one UI and also pushed to the ISY via State Variables with out all the 3rd party hosting like IFTTT.

The device should have a LED indicating protection is still present. If still lit it's working, if not lit it's dead. Having said this, this is why surge protection must be done in layers. There are technically five types but the Germaine ones that apply to most people are Type 1, 2, 3. Given the vast amounts of investment in ones home. It's a wise investment to purchase, install, and use all three types of surge protectors. The primary reason is that neither type 1 / 2 offer any meaningful protection for smaller surge / spikes. Also note none of the three types offer protection against a surge in voltage or sag. None of these devices also offer any protection against frequency drift or a lack of actual power. Only a UPS system will provide power. But many of the (cheaper) models also do not offer pure sine wave power or have effective clamping voltage to protect an end device. Lastly, regardless of all the electronic gizmo in the home. Nothing supersedes a low resistance ground in the home. As this is the foundation and cornerstone of the entire system.

All you need is the Insteon ID which you should write down somewhere close by. Having said this best practices for any new Insteon device is as follows. 1. Factory reset all devices to ensure they are in a default state. 2. Enroll them into the ISY before you make the final install. 3. Verify all wiring is tight and firm. 4. Cover up the Insteon ID with clear tape to ensure its protected from dirt and falling off.

I will report back what happens later tonight. Much thanks to both of you for the 2nd / 3rd set of eyes on this!

Found it! Not too sure why its called something totally different than what both of you supplied. Much thanks as always and will see what happens at 3:00 AM.

This is what I have in my tree:

Stu, Can you post up a screen capture of your settings.

This is how the system has been since day one. Here is a screen capture of the program. What is supposed to be selected in this area?

For quite awhile now I have noticed that the 3 AM query runs but does not in fact do anything? Below are the stats from the summary page. I have also appended the actual program that has been in place for more than five years. What is strange is (IF) I run a manual query any device I had unplugged, powered down, etc do in fact come up with the famous pop up of *Can not communicate*. This is expected and normal and this is how I know if devices are on line etc. So, it begs to ask the question what is going on at 3:00 AM?? The process is running yet its not picking up all the disconnected devices? In the past if I had 10 devices unplugged and the following day when I logged into the UI I would see 10 pop up's affirming the same. Now, I see only four devices crying it can't be found or communicated with? Is this query feature broken? If it is it might explain why the iMeter Solo fails to update its energy values as programmed to. Insight

Michael, Do you happen to have their newest high quality temp / humidity sensor? I have been farting around trying to decide to go with one solution or another. The only thing that stops me from using most of these solutions I see is the lack of accuracy for humidity. I have seen this in the Science what ever, Aeotec Multi Sensor, Insteon TSTAT (wireless), etc. Another aspect is that I already have a very extensive 1 wire temperature network deployed in my home. Plus, I don't have to worry about long term battery changes or signal drop outs since they are all hardwired. Lastly, the initial cost for the four humidity sensor will cost me about $150.XX. Insight

Please take a few moments to review some threads about this device and what each option box means and how to set them. This will ensure the most reliable activation and customer satisfaction. Cheers

If you're seeing this on LED lighting this is a known issue due to leaking current from the module. Your only option is to place a small load at the end and this will resolve the issue at hand.

Was there any reason you didn't use and deploy the synchro linc instead?
