Ok, tied AN1 and AN2 to +5 with an 8k & 10k resistor (only could find one 10k). The flickering has stopped. The relays are controlled as expected. I have the 5v/I1+ and GND/I1- pairs shorted. ALL of -9 through -C show OFF. I presume from what you were saying , -9 should be ON now. * Orest

Whoops, typo in the table, should be ... 0F88: E2 09 00.00.00 00 IF 09 0FF0: 00 00 00.00.00 FF IF 0A * Orest

OK, deleted the device, and readded it using the New Insteon device dialog, specifying the 2x4. I have the 6 nodes now, the first one blank, the others labeled -2 and -9 thru -C. I renamed the first to -1 The show device links table now shows ... 0F88: E1 09 00.00.00 00 IF 09 0FF0: 00 00 00.00.00 FF IF 0A Relays work. I1 still does not respond with a message with I1+/5v and I1-/GND shorted. -9 thru -C all remain OFF. Looks like the SET light has now started flickering rapidly, and continually. * Orest

Running 3.1.0, although EZIO was installed under 2.8.14 I think. I may not have specified the device explicitly when I added it, that might well be the problem. Show Device Links Table shows only ... OFF8: 00 00 00.00.00 00 00 00 * Orest

This is an EZIO2x4 new out of the box. I do not have, and have not used their setup utility. I was planning on using I1 as a dry contact closure. I confirmed 5v between +5 & the GND. Connected the I1+ to the +5v, and then used the I1- and GND as the dry contact. Shorting these terminals does not result in an insteon message, there is no change in the the ISY "Main" page listing. Same with I2, connected similarly, no activity. I assume that the -9 & -A nodes are the I1 & I2 nodes, and IL3 & IL4 are associated with node -B & -C. Both of the -B & -C nodes are sitting as ON. The relays out seem to work fine, they are shown as the -1 and -2 nodes in ISY. What am I doing wrong? * Orest

Ah, OK, will need to set up a little program then, as I need it both ways. Thanks. * Orest

In ISY I want to set up a scene where a keylinc button being ON, is linked to an appliancelinc being OFF, and of course vice versa. The keylinc is of course the controller. I will also manipulate the scene from ISY statements. The scene is set up easily enough, but how do I amend the behavior of the two devices in that ISY scene, so that they end up being "opposite" action? In other words, when I command the scene ON, the keylinc button should turn ON, and the appliancelinc will turn its relay OFF. Equivalently, when you turn the keylinc button ON manually, the appliancelinc should turn off. * Orest

The PLM bypasses the UPS, as otherwise I think it would be blocked from reception/transmission. My ISY has a separate power supply, only the ISY is plugged into the UPS. If the 2450 were plugged into the UPS, I wonder if its signal would reach the PLM, which is on the "other side" (the line side) of the UPS. * Orest

This will need some control logic to detect a power outage, and send a new ON to relatch the relay. I will be controlling a NC (not energized, no water) main water shut off valve. The purpose is to kill the water when away, and when a leak is detected by water sensors. I prefer to use a NC water valve as a fail safe. My ISY is on a UPS, so it will live through a power outage, and won't know. Does the 2450 present status when it boots up? Any ideas out there? If not, I may have to rig up a delayed latching relay to trigger something to send a signal "POWER was OFF, now it is ON". * Orest

Lee -- Thanks. That's a bummer. Do you know about the 2450 IOLinc? Don't have one of those to test. * Orest

It looks like the EZIO does not preserve its output relays states after a power failure. Once power is restored both come on as OFF, although the ISY is unaware of that, until it does a query I suppose. Is this expected behavior? What about the simpler 2450, does it preserve its output relay state across a power cycle? * Orest

And I'm holidays this week, will have to wait a week to experience variables! * Orest

NO and NC refers to the state with the magnet NOT engaged. And of course NC means electrons are flowing, the opposite to a plumbing valve. * Orest

Ah, OK, I think that all now makes sense. Going to my drawer of resistors .... * Orest

Thanks! * Orest

New install of this device, just using the "O" relays for the moment, will need one or two inputs in the near future. On adding it to ISY I get the following ... The problem ... Noticed that the activity light was flickering intermittently on the EZIO. Further, noticed that the EZIO - B node was flickering back and forth between ON and OFF, remaining ON more of the time. The other input nodes are all OFF. This can't be normal, is it? * Orest

I have developed kind of a complex set of programs to run two thermostats, in a two furnace, three zoned house. Will be adding the third shortly. I also control the floor heating, but just for away/not away purposes. I have four times of day, morning, day, night, late nite, varied a bit through the week to reflect my habits. Morning serves to warm the house up in cool seasons, night cools it down in the summer. Late nite steps it down a notch in temp as well. I have five seasons, summer hot, summer, spring/fall, winter, winter cold, sensed by the outside high temp and wind chill. Based on these variables, that are set independently by programs, I have a set of programs that drive the tstats for temps and mode. I also provide preference to one zone at some times of the day, allowing it to satisfy its calling before allowing the others to go full bore. Of course I also have an away setting, that I can time out, or just log in and reset. The result is quite nice. Before I had to fiddle with the tstats throughout the year, and things were never quite right day to day. I could post a sampling of the code if you are interested. * Orest

Yup, you can slice & dice it any way you want, like "m" explains. The Venstar user manual, together with the Receiver user manual makes the options fairly clear Have fun! * Orest

Get a wireless temp sensor setup, simple and relatively cheap, cheaper than a second thermostat, which you really don't need. If you have the 1900, you can average the temp from the remote sensor with the thermostat temp sensor. The average temperature of the two will trigger the furnace, or not. If you have the 1800 or 1700 you would need to get a second wireless sensor, and average those two to cover the up & downstairs. The temp sensor in the thermostat would be disabled. Venstar Wireless Sensor Receiver Attaches to, and then snugs into the wall space behind the thermostat. Venstar Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Remote Temperature Sensor Attaches to any wall. No wire to pull, runs on batteries. * Orest

All fixed and now working as expected. Thanks! * Orest

Rand - Perfect. Thanks. * Orest

Finally ... Q. If I remove the 1700 from ISY, with the 1700 already in a multitude of program statements, do the respective statements disappear, get reassigned a random device, or are they marked as undefined in some way? * Orest

http://wiki.smarthome.com/index.php?tit ... at_Adapter ... * Tap the Set button on Thermostat Adapter once * Press & hold the Set button on Thermostat Adapter for 3 seconds The thermostat display will flash all the LCD characters twice I read this from the WIKI, I did not do the single Set button push referenced above in the linking procedure, just the hold for three seconds to link it. Q. Do you need to give the Set button a short initial press, before holding for 3sec etc. for linking to the ISY? * Orest

OK, pulled the dongle, it says v2.1 on it. On the ISY panel, the version is listed as v.00. Problem with the loading of the device? Did some searching of the forums ... Q. I am thinking that I need to remove that stat from ISY and do a factory reset on the 2441 v2 dongle for good measure, then re-add it. Yes, no? Q. When adding the stat back into ISY, I presume I should use the New INSTEON device dialog, and manually specify a 2441? * Orest
