No PC that's why I got the ISY. I'll just have to do without for now.

Yeah I can get a computer on the web using my Palm Pre as a mobile hot spot but that isn't my network. I don't think there is a way to use it on the network. Plus I would like to be able to dial into it on the way down to turn on the heat or a/c. I can get DSL but don't want to spend $60/month for that right now.

I have a vacation home with no internet access. Is it possible to access the ISY remotely with just a phone line?

What if you don't have internet access where you are using the ISY?

Thanks. I had experimented and didn't see a difference in them.

What are the different beep durations meanings? Is there a place on the web that describes them?

No luck. I'll get with Smarthome and get it replaced since it isn't very old. Thanks for all of the help!!!!!!

The one motion sensor still acts the same. I have a second one and it goes to off after the 30 seconds. Now with the motion light being set at 5 minutes to be on, should I set the wireless motion sensor at 5 minutes also?

I have upgraded to 2.8.10 and now have the 6 functions. Went real good especially considering I had to connect to the internet some using my phone and then to my home network some to actually update it. Currently On Only Mode and Night Mode are checked. Seems like Night Mode should be called something else since night only is when it is unchecked. lol Should I leave sensing mode unchecked?

I went to the Help menu and then about and it shows v2.7.15. I just bought it and only have internet at the lake house from my phone so didn't look to see if there was a more current version. Guess I need to update my ISY since I only have 3 functions that are software controllable. Where do I go to download updates? I looked on their website but didn't see it.

That Jumper is not in place. Only Jumper 5 is on. That is the only place to do that, correct?

I installed jumper 5 and change the ISY to .5 minutes. Then with it off, I covered it with a placemat and then the sensor went to on. There is no way it saw movement. After 30 seconds it was still on. Now it's been 3 minutes and hasn't gone off. Am I doing something wrong?

I have a 2420M and have added it to my ISY. When I move, I see the ISY state on the sensor change from off to on but I never see it go back to off. I have no jumpers in place and the options from the ISY are set at 1 minute, 10 for LED brightness, and darkness sensitivity at 35. Why does it never go back to off? It's pointed at a direction where I know there is no movement. I can even place it face down on the table. If I press the set button, I can go back to off. Please help me. I really want to use the motion sensor.

I have some outisde motion lights I got from Smarthome installed with an InLineLinc. I would like to use a Wireless Motion Sensor to extend the range and have purchased it. Am I better to set it up with a scene or to use a program? Also, what jumper settings would be best for this? Thanks

Thanks Lee. I'll check into those things next time I am down there, which is hopefully this weekend.

How long do the batteries usually last? I was down at the house this weekend and the sensor light would flash twice when it detected movement. The instructions say that is a low battery warning. Also, when I got down there on Friday my motion light kept coming on for no reason. I unlinked the wireless motion sensor on Saturday and that stopped it. I then added it to the ISY and tried setting up a program to monitor the motion sensor and turn on a light when movement was detected but couldn't get it to work. Is there a time frame after writing and saving a program before it starts working? I think I need to find more info on how to use the motion sensor and get some fresh batteries. At one time I had it linked to the motion light and it would come on as I came down the drive. With the light coming on a lot, it's like the wireless motion sensor was stuck on.

I'm thinking about going with the Venstar thermostat for my lake house. Even though I don't have internet to adjust it on the way down, I think I would like to be able to program it with the ISY. I did have a question. My system is a heat pump with auxilary electric heat. I currently have it running a couple times a day when I am not there and I think that is the problem. I'm thinking when it comes on, the temp difference is so great it is calling for the auxilary heat. When I set it up, I was thinking that would only come on when the heat pump couldn't get enough heat out of the air but now I think I was wrong. So my question is, could a program be written so when I get down there the heat comes on but with it set so as not to call the auxilary heat? Then as the temp starts to rise, the set point also rises so until it reaches say 68 degrees? I have a button on a KPL for when I am away so I could use that to let the system know I am there. I would have to use times too since at night I would want to set the temp back a bit. Thanks

Will it remember the link to the motion lights or will I have to recreate that scene? Just curious.

I did not. I thought it would find it because it was already linked to the InLineLinc. I'll get up in the tree and get the address to add it next time I am down there.

My understanding of this device is only conceptual, but I understand the in-linelinc is the only insteon device in this kit. The motion detector is hardwired to the inlinelinc, is it not? If so, there would be no insteon motion sensor showing up...only the inlinelinc, itself, would be displayed in your "my lighting" tree. I'm actually referring to another motion sensor that I bought to extend the range of the motion sensor light.

What about a motion sensor? I have the 2494MSWH Floodlights with a 2420M wireless motion sensor so they turn on as you come down the drive. Before I installed my ISY99 I had linked them and they worked. When I installed the ISY I added the InLineLinc and used the option to add devices found in links and keep existing links. The wireless motion is still working but it didn't get added to the ISY99.

oberkc, that probably comes from my RPG programming. I can go with the 2 programs though just to make sure. Instead of it running for between 2 to 3 hours using the wait, is there a way to do another random timer trigger to end the program. Something like this? If On Mon, Wed, Fri Time is 10:30:00PM And Status KPL Button is On Then Run Program 'Random Timer 2' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') and If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Wait 15 minutes (Random) Set Scene 'Living Room Scene' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') The original program you wrote would, of course, be modified to only turn the lights on. I'm not at the house with the equipment or I would try it.

Any reason why you have it as 2 programs and not all in 1?

Thanks for the examples. Lots of good stuff there. I might have to do something like that next time I am at the house. I still have some more switches to add so I can do things like that. Is there a way to make the time the program runs have a random start and end time? I kind of do that by using lots of "OR"s but would rather just have the ISY do it.

Thanks Lee
