clark21236, ISY does not show Fast On/Fast Off in the log. It just shows the status of the device. From what I see in your log (see below), ISY did not sense the Fast On; it only sensed On at 5:53 AM and thus the scene was not triggered. Actually the scene is not triggered at all till 6:16 AM. So, do you have any other programs that activate this scene? With kind regards, Michel

Digger, Furthermore, may I humbly suggest unplugging ELK before ISY/PLM? It might be the ELK. With kind regards, Michel If it's a single scene you're executing with the ISY, where would you add the pause? Sounds like it's caught in some sort of loop. Do you have a program somewhere that triggers this scene?

Hello RLIKWARTZ, We just got confirmation from SmartLabs that there are no broadcast/multicast messages that INSTEON devices send out based on Load Sensing. Furthermore, this is not part of the specification [yet]. As such, what you are doing is [and shall be for the foreseeable future] the solution. With kind regards, Michel

brobin, Thanks for the feedback. We actually did some experimentation with this and decided against it simply because we do NOT know how a specific device (say a relay) behaves when we restore the links for dimmer into it. Theoretically, they should work but we found some anomalies which made us hesitate doing so (the code is already there, we just removed the mapping which shows which devices are compatible with what other devices). With kind regards, Michel

Hello greensha, I am not sure but I can tell you from experience that they are superior to SignaLincs (some of which are actually the sources of some of the problems). With kind regards, Michel

Hi Drew, Yes. To quote, simply use the Quote button when replying to posts. With kind regards, Michel

Hello Andy, You might also want to consider changing your SignaLincs to AccessPoints. Please keep us posted. With kind regards, Michel

Hello Andy, In either case (using Sunset or From/To), the success of the Action (i.e. turn scene on/off) has no impact on the evaluation and execution of the condition. If you have scene and devices within scene which do not respond to ISY (intermittenly), then the best bet would be to FIND OUT WHY! We've seen so many different solutionts that address the symptoms (such as repeating a command n times) but at the end of the day, they will eventually fail at least once and cause other problems (such as network congestion). Is there a pattern to your comm errors? With kind regards, Michel

IndyMike, If you have a new PLM, then I wouldn't worry about it. That's all that matters. 2.6.4 should be out shortly and we should be able to solve this mystery soon! With kind regards, Michel

Hello Drew, Yes, precisely. If you have an RL in the same scene, your Mutex buttons will NOT work (or behave the way you want them to). I am so very glad you are starting to have fun! ISY stands for Intelligent System. With kind regards, Michel

Mark, thank you so very much. With kind regards, Michel

Hi IndyMike, The Replace function in 2.6.0 and above on occasion changes the device type and as such I do not recommend it (unless you feel brave!). If you do not mind waiting, we should have 2.6.4 shortly. You got it: if the replace on a new switch creates the same behavior, then it's ISY otherwise it's the SWL. Other questions: 1. How old is your PLM? If older than 6 months, please take a look at your http://your.isy.ip.address/WEB/NODESCNF.XML and see if you find any groups with the element having any value below 20. If so, it might also be the PLM. With kind regards, Michel

Drew, Yes. But you have to be very careful if you have other controllers in the same scene that control B and C: Mutex Groups/Buttons work at a local level only so if you have other controllers in the scene that can turn on/off B and C then Mutex will be ineffective. With kind regards, Michel

RLIKWARTZ, Yes, you can use ISY programming to query this device continuously: If - no conditions Then Repeat Every 1 minute Set Your_receptacle Query But, this should not be the ultimate solution. We are working with SL to see how we can sense the load state changes. With kind regards, Michel

Hello IndyMike, I am so very sorry to hear that you are having these problems. The one thing that makes this rather difficult is that you have done any permutation of factory reset and restore none of which worked. On the one hand, I could've immediately declared that ISY has a corrupt configuration file for your device but, on the other hand, you have already restored it from a previous backup. It's very possible that ISY always had a corrupted configuration file for this device but this cannot be proven till we swap this device with another (you would need 2.6.4) using the Replace function. With kind regards, Michel

Hi Drew, That's precisely what you are looking for. You can also find information on this topic in our Wiki: http://www.universal-devices.com/mwiki . With kind regards, Michel

Kelly, It should work. Limitations: ISY cannot program EZRain's internal programs. You will have to use ISY for timers/schedules With kind regards, Michel

Hi Ed, No! We found the source of the lockup and we are currently testing it. With kind regards, Michel

Hi Rich, Please contact IES and ask for the POE version. We should have full support for them within the next month. With kind regards, Michel

sloop, We have to solve the puzzle! May I humbly suggest 4 AccessPoints? You can trade your SignaLincs for AccessPoints and thus we can remove yet another variable in your environment. With kind regards, Michel

Digger, Yes ... Thanks and with kind regards, Michel

Digger, I cannot say it's a bug since we do not yet have the memory map to ascertain whether or not this is a bug! With kind regards, Michel Is this a bug in the Keypadlinc relay? If so I might as well return mine before I put them in.

HokePerogi, I don't think IRLinc can interfere with your devices. The main question is: if you double tap on a switch does the local load turn on to 100%? With kind regards, Michel Ok Michel, I will try that when I get home today. One more thing to point out, I do have an IRLinc as well. I can see the blue led blinking when I single tap or double tap. Do you think the IRLinc could be interfering with the Togglinc double-tap?

Hello dss, KPL 1.4 issue is a bug which was introduced in 2.6.3. KPL Relay is an open question to SmartLabs for which we do not yet have answer. With kind regards, Michel

Hello sloop (or should I say pen poem?), You forgot to mention: Now, you have to get a plane ticket for someone from UDI to come over and fix all the problems! Are the communications problems isolated to a finite number of devices or are they random and different devices? How many SignaLincs do you have and how many AccessPoints? With kind regards, Michel
