  1. NA is indeed North America - Many *Retail* packages for Best Buys, Walmart, Costco, etc are provided a different product number and it can end in 232 to denote its a retail package. If you find it cheaper from another on line vendor more power to you!
  2. I would say using a T-tap outlet would offer an alternative in case the fuse blew in the Synchrolinc. Essentially you would have two parallel conductors feeding power to the sump pump. But one is merely intended as a monitoring device and if the fuse blows the other conductor would still offer electrical power to guard against such a condition. Having said this I am a firm believer in a back up battery sump pump unit. Even better if your local allows main line water pressure feeding this negates ever having to worry about electricity being present!
  3. Hello Drew, The RL2 when placed in toggle mode which is the default state will always go from on to off. None toggle as you noted will send a on signal only. Keep in mind each button will recall the last RL2 button press so don't get confused into thinking it was defaulting to on vs off. Meaning if I first press (A) button that will issue a on. A second press will result in a off. What I see a lot is if someone has a program to make a light fixture *Timed* to shut off automatically. The next person or same person forgets that button is still waiting to issue a off response as this was the last state it was in. Hope that makes sense at a high level . . .
  4. Are you referencing the International products or a vendor product? If its a International product it uses a different frequency which isn't compatible with NA products. If your talking about a vendor product say like for Walmart, Best Buys, Costco, these products are the retail product number which is compatible so long as your buying it from NA region.
  5. Normally in a home the temperature doesn't drop very quickly so a query of every 5~10 minutes is fine. If you have lots of programs that are tasked to *Query* it can tie up the ISY Series Controller. Only you know what types of programs are in place now so use your own good judgement.
  6. Yup, sorry forgot to tell you this earlier . . . Your next step is to enable *Run at startup* if you don't and the ISY Series Controller is rebooted it will not run as expected.
  7. You can always use Novec electronic water proofing spray from 3M. Used it for years in the field and has never let me down besides the initial sticker shock . . . But, then again I received it free from work back in the day . . . You really don't want to apply and use dielectric compound to the PCB only to contacts like the I/O ports and battery terminals.
  8. Are you sure your Insteon network is properly coupled / bridged to reach the TSTAT? If you right mouse click on the program and invoke the *Run Then* what happens?
  9. iMeter Solo - [ID 0031][Parent 00C2][Not Enabled] If From 8:00:00AM To 8:00:00AM (next day) Then Repeat Every 1 hour Set 'iMeter Solo' Query Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') This is a very basic program to accomplish the same just modify it to your specific needs. Please note the location of the repeat and the duration you can change to suite your needs.
  10. It's possible, that's why I offered the other two choices . . .
  11. You have a few choices from reloading firmware in case the system is corrupted. To hard resetting the controller and then performing a restore. ========================= The highest calling in life is to serve ones country faithfully - Teach others what can be. Do what is right and not what is popular.
  12. Yes, if you want to use it moving forward without the ISY Portal.
  13. My crystal ball for sees a ISY Restore in your future . . .
  14. You can reduce the incident of this happening by disabling all active programs and network resources and any inbound REST calls.
  15. As I noted this is why the short cycle test must be performed to validate every system operates as expected when required. The reality is every home will experience a short cycle at some point when there are issues with the POCO or during extreme weather conditions. Best to know, test, and validate what will happen in a controlled manner. Also note this may not be plainly obvious but if the On-Off relay is off this is the last known state and this position should remain in place. Short cycling the breaker will not turn the Insteon module back on unless there is something wrong with the device. This is really a poor mans safety switch and thus is why the ISY must be programmed also to have extra safeties in place to guard against other conditions or out of band use cases. Those reading my reply are getting the benefit of someone who has years of testing and having everything going wrong in a similar use case. It should be clear by now short cycling is not recommended in normal circumstances but in this case your testing and proving out every condition and element operates as expected.

  16. Yes, assuming your Insteon network (RF) mesh is strong and reliable. Key things for a successful Insteon home automation is to ensure the following: - Proper coupling / bridging of the split single phase electrical system. Confirm via the 4 tap beacon test outlined in any products full users manual. - Identify any noise makers / signal suckers and filter, remove, replace. - Verify the AC units power handling falls within the On-Off relay modules specs. - Confirm the On-Off relay module can reliably turn off the AC unit when its fully operational.
  17. Your going to want to confirm that happens in real world use vs paper specs. If the hands on test validate what the paper specs say. Your next step is to install the various Insteon hardware and confirm proper operations. Key area is communications and the network has no issue turning the AC off. Be mindful the AC unit falls within the Insteon power handling capability. If so great - the next step is to move forward with integrating the TSTAT and rinse & repeat the validation process that all systems operate as expected. You will need to build in some safety programs in the ISY Series Controller for watch dog timers for just in case there are power blips. Short cycling the breaker and TSTAT while watching how the AC reacts is imperative.
  18. Your first important task is to confirm how the AC unit behaves once power is applied vs removed. Failure to validate proper operations can result in a failed project vs damaged AC unit.

  20. Best practices for those of us in the board level repair business has always been to place a glob of solder on the tip. This is done mainly for long term storage and tip protection. Those who live in the rust belt know heat, salt, and humid air will quickly break down metals.
  21. There has never been a reported instance of a ALL ON / ALL OFF where there was no controller in place, ever.
  22. Normally a One Link smoke / co is marked as such. I would read the users manual to confirm it's One Link RF supported. [emoji53]
  23. LOL . . . RE: Status you can always use the *Query* to obtain the last known state of said devices. But this is very much a work around and band aid in having the ISY Series Controller know and have control over said hardware. Craft a program to query the outlet and based on that state do X vs Y whether it be send you an email, change a state variable, etc.
  24. I'm not sure I follow what your saying here? Do you in fact have (2) home automation controllers in your home? If so why? If the the HUB II activated the outlet why would you expect the ISY Series Controller to know that?
