Generators
aLf, I appreciate the feed back and insight. I would humbly suggest that you put the old Generac on sale via EBAY, Craigs List. These dealers are like car dealers, they always try to low ball you when they know the very same item could be sold for more. Please keep us all updated on the new generator and how it performs.

Generators
Alf, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your personal experience with respect to this generator. I have a few questions for you though as it relates to this incident. How long has the generator been in deployment in your home? Did Generac resolve this issue once you made it known to them that this fault had occurred? What was the cost for the VR device and did you replace it yourself? As apostolakisl stated, I would be keeping an eye on all of the electronics in your home for potential failure. Teken . . .

Do's & Do Nots of Using a Switchlinc Dimmer as a Relay
As a point of reference: I have a few older KPL dimmers in place. I initially used a standard CFL at that location and all was well. During this summer, many thunderstorms have come and gone, at least three times when the power came back on, I found that the KPL was making a terrible screeching noise! It was determined that the CFL was causing this screeching noise to appear at the KPL. I have no doubt these 3 events may have shorten the lifespan of the KPL dimmer. I of course replaced the standard CFL, with a dimmable CFL, cycling power on and off at the breaker to simulate a power failure has confirmed all is well with the new CFL load. I was fortunate enough that someone was home at the time to shut off the breaker, and than remove the CFL loads until I got home to inspect and review the problem fist hand. I can't say that a fire could have started, but know first hand that the KPL and attached load could be damaged given enough time. Teken . . .

Mobilinc vs ISY via https domain
1. The Mobilinc is designed and scaled for a smartphone. The ISY Admin Console is not. 2. The Mobilinc can change the status of a few Insteon devices to reflect a true state. Whereas the ISY Admin Console can not. Teken . . .

Hello Michel, I finally received the 3 Energy Monitors. Will the next ISY release have the capabilities stated by the SmartHome sales page? Currently I do not see any method to add this device to the ISY at all. Teken . . .

Thank you all for the insight as to the differences in each model. On a related note, is the T1900 just the same unit which includes the humidity sensor? Lastly, are the models which state 28XX are they Insteon compatible? Teken . . .

Release 3.2.6 Is Now Official
Hello Michel, Just to be clear: At this point in time I simply would like to see the ability to *see / monitor* the remote temperature of the Energy Monitor device(s) via the ISY controller. My intent is to poll / read this data from the unit and then have them linked to various ceiling / remote fans in the home. Just trying to circulate and move some air around the home as it is a stifling 40'C here in town. Teken . . .

Hello Michel, Will the next firmware release be forth coming by months end?

Smarthome Wireless IP Camera
Any network IP camera can provide you the same access and capability to take snap shots of a moving object. This is native to all CCTV camera systems in the market. Please adjust your expectations accordingly if you require true video security. There is a reason they are under $200.00 as the optics and sensors are rather poor. Teken . . .

New Insteon LED light bulb
I did a preliminary test and hooked light to an inside lamp. No problem with recognition on ISY using LampLinc 2 pin Dim. The light responds instantly with ISY and does dim, but there is a flicker when dimming down. Once light is dimmed there is no flicker. I set it up with motion detector and it works as programmed. So far I am happy with this and will be putting in garage overhead light over the weekend. The LED appears to be the same or brighter than a 60 watt. Can you hear any buzzing noise?? If so can you describe how loud it is? Teken . . .
