DEGoodrich, Thanks. I am going to forward this post to Paul at SHN and make sure you have the latest version. With kind regards, Michel

Frank, Excellent idea! Dim and Bright in programs simply dim/bright by an approximately 2.5 notches upon each invocation. With kind regards, Michel

Greetings Frank! I guess that I missed this somewhere. Maybe I was sleeping in class! But what is Insteon 2, when will it be available, and what effect will it have on the ISY?? They are out! For instance, KPL 1.5 has the I2 engine and so does the RL. The impact on ISY is that we have to now do conditional logic to figure out which version we are dealing with and then act accordingly. We have not yet incorporated full support for KPL 1.5! Good idea! It's already entered in our bug/enhancement database. With kind regards, Michel

DEGoodrich, Would you be kind enough to let me know the firmware version of your EZIO? Thanks and with kind regards, Michel

DEGoodrich, I am glad that you got things to work again! Would you be kind enough to try the following: 1. Remove your EZIO8SA completely 2. Do a factory reset on your EZIO8SA 3. On Admin Console, issue Link Management->Start Linking 4. On your EZIO, click and hold the set button for 4 seconds till its LED flashes and then release 5. Immediately follow step 4 (after you've released the set button on your EZIO) with another click/hold of the set button on your EZIO for another 4 seconds and till the LED goes out/off 6. Wait for your EZIO's LED to come back on (this will take around 30 seconds) 7. Click on the Cancel button on ISY's Admin Console (Linking in Progress Dialog) Let me know of the outcome please. With kind regards, Michel

RichGer, No need to mention the importance of remote upgrade as we agree with you 100%. If you have McAfee please read this post: http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=179. If you have NOD32, then please disable HTTP firewall while upgrading. With kind regards, Michel

Yes, 12/10/2007. With kind regards, Michel

Frank, As MikeB suggested, I suggest a scene but this will only work if you know before hand what the "dimmed" level is. The reason is that INSTEON does not allow sending a group command with an on level! With kind regards, Michel

Frank, You do need an airgap either way. Currently we mimic the on level by sending an on command with the level. That cannot be done for the ramprate. In I2 (INSTEON 2), we can specify both the on level and ramp rate from the PLM. With kind regards, Michel

Hi AD8BC, Each device in a scene takes one link. The link calculator uses an average of 10 per scene! With kind regards, Michel In the calculator, what assumptions are used for number of links per scene? I have quite a bit of scenes with only 3 or 4 devices, but I noticed that each time a scene is added it adds 10 to the link table. Is that the assumption?

gwarthur, Thanks so very much for the feedback and update. Release 2.5 will surely add a lot more features/ehancements. With your permission, I am going to add a link to your post in our Communication Error section. Thanks so very much and please don't hesitate to contact us (we would surely like to reduce the amount of pain and misery). With kind regards, Michel

Digger, This might have nothing to do with the KPL/PLM. Do you have the latest firmware/bootware for ELK? Also, please make sure all the devices have the Future bit set under lighting in ELKRM. With kind regards, Michel Interesting..... I put a KPL back in last week and have the load tiggered by my ELK (when front door opens and its dark outside turn light on for 4 minutes, restart timers if zone still violated). The light turns on and turns off 4 minutes later but then turns back on right away and off a few seconds later and back on and cycles for about 5 minutes. I did see in the GUI for the ISY a communication problem which I thought was the PLM being so weak and that it was retrying and waiting for an acknowledgement. Maybe its the light itself?

MikeB, Please change the null to Query. Yes, you may safely delete this program the only adverse impact of which would be that the status of your devices might be +/-5% off from their actual state. With kind regards, Michel

AD8BC, Thanks so very much for the offer; it'd be a pleasure and I can actually learn something new. Thanks again and with kind regards, Michel Michel, are you in Encino (where the contact address for UD is)? If so, next time I get out to Riverside, if I can get the OK from the customer, I will offer you a first class tour of one of the facilities that I programmed and commissioned (I can't mention the name of the customer here but it could be one of the hubs of one of the three or four shipping companies you use). You are an expert in home automation and I will show you all about industrial automation.

jgraziano, Thanks so very much for the OT! I have always wondered how these systems work and now I can surely appreciate the enormity of what's involved in programming them. With kind regards, Michel

Scott, Great. Thanks ... please keep me posted. With kind regards, Michel

Hi Brignolo, Here's the link to our Wiki site: http://www.universal-devices.com/mwiki/ ... User_Guide . The document will be included in the next drop. With kind regards, Michel

Bill, My pleasure! I cannot even fathom what's it like to program Modicon and Allen Bradley controllers! It must be really involved. Please do let me know if this solution worked for you. Thanks and with kind regards, Michel

Hello Scott, You are 100% correct; we shall rework the packaging as you suggest. Here are the known issues/bugs with Linux/Fedora 7 1. Cannot backup your configuration 2. Cannot change the location once the location has been set once 3. Cannot close Safari/IE (MAC has the same issue) As far as your EZRain, please make sure you can link to EZRain first. We have had issues linking to EZxxx devices. I just want to make sure you can link to it before spending all the money on APs (or while you can return them). Is it possible to move your ISY/PLM on the same phase as your EZRain and test it? With kind regards, Michel

AD8BC, Some rules: 1. Adding delays below 3-4 seconds might work intermittently especially if you have devices you can communicate with intermittently 2. Instead of using a Program, create a scene called 911, and put all the devices that you want turned on/off in that scene as responders Here's my setup: If Control 'Entrance KPL A' is switched On And Control 'Entrance KPL A' is not switched Off Then Repeat 65 times Set Scene '911' Fast On Wait 3 seconds Set Scene '911' Fast Off Wait 3 seconds Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') With kind regards, Michel

Hello Scott, Thanks for the update. Release 2.5 candidate will be out by no later than Thrusday. If don't mind waiting, I'd like to send you that one instead of the Beta. I have already included you in our distribution list. With kind regards, Michel

IndyMike, YES! Thank you so very much. In effect: Chuck's program requires everything to be off and there might actually be a device at 10% which makes the program not run. Chuck, Would you please try IndyMike's suggestion and let me know how it turns out. With kind regards, Michel

Mr. Hartmann, Would you be kind enough to a) reset your userid/pwd to admin/admin and backup your ISY, and c) send your backup to tech@universal-devices.com? I would sincerely appreciate it. With kind regards, Michel

Mr. Norfleet, First of all, apologies for the problems you've been experiencing. 1. The cable to connect to port B comes with ISY. If you have not received it (and thus had to make one up), I do apologize and I would be happy to send you one 2. Our telnet's port is 126. Have you tried telnet: isy.ip.address 126 ? 3. Have you tried http://www.universal-devices.com/MyInsteonISY? what do you see? If you wish, I can call you to go through the possible causes with you. With kind regards, Michel

Kelly, Steven had a defect LL; we sent him a new one to test and that was the case. When we receive the old one, we are going to figure out the root cause. With kind regards,
