Do you think if I cut the jack off the probe and just hook the two wires (on the jack side of the probe) to the GND and Sensor screws on the IOLinc it would work?

You say: "They are all linked to each other". But what if one is out of range of the others, except one? Can it still get the Audio sent from an "Out of Range Hub" ?

On the Jack end of the probe it is reading 0.2volts How much lower can it get.

Do you think this would work or do you think I might have the same problems again.... http://www.smarthome.com/1221/Elk-ELK-9 ... tor/p.aspx Thanks

Ya the Green LED when the Doorbell is pressed when it comes on for a split second, is very dim (not bright green). Any other way around this without buying even more smarthome hardware... LOL

Sound interesting. By any chance can the RF-RBUSB be daisy chanined/linked to the other to spand long distances? *Example: Main RF-RBUSB in basement, then 100 feet away have another RF-RBUSB in a theater room linked to the basement one, next have one on the mian floor linked to the theater room and so on.... Reason is my house is very large (5,000+ finished sqft) and if they all have to be linked to the main one in the basement, that will not work. Thanks

I might of explained it wrong. The Green Sensor LED only flashes on for a split second when the doorbell is pressed. Never does the Green LED turn on when I press the set button on the IOLinc, only the White LED does. in ISY-99i the Sensor Status changes from Off to On when I press the IOLinc Set button (White Light). The relay never turns to the On status in ISY-99i when I press the Set button on the IOLinc, only the Sensor Status does.

This is how I have it wired. in ISY-99i I have it set to: LED on TX = clicked Relay Follows Input = checked Momentary C = checked Momentary hold time = 50 (I have tried 2 all the way up to 255 with nothing changing).

When the doorbell is pressed "And Held in" there continues to be a 20 volt power to the probe 2 wires side. Also (this may be normal) but when I press the set button on the IOLinc, the sensor changes state to "On" and after the set time (in 10ths of a second) the white light on the IOLinc turns off, but the Sensor status stays in the "On" status. The only way for me to get the sensor status to turn off is to hit the set button again while the white IOLinc light is still On. Thanks

That is how I have it connected. 1 wire of probe is going to the Transformer (with 0 volts when the doorbell is not pressed) and the other wire of the probe is going to the doorbell button wire. (So to sum it up, the probe is hooked up to the 2 screws on the doorbell itself, 1 goes to the transformer, the other to the button). Also when the doorbell button is pressed, the probe (at the jack end) is reading 0.2 volts while at the wire end, it is reading 20 volts. So everything appears to be hooked up correctly, its just not working for some reason....

The doorbell button is only pressed for a second by someone, so yes it is wired to the transformer on the doorbell itself. Also the 0 & 11-12 Volt is at the source of where the two wires I connect to the Probe, not the jack end. If have also wired it to the other end of the transformer (20volts when the doorbell button is NOT pressed, and 0.3 volts when the doorbell button is pressed) and still the same thing happens, only the green LED Sensor light flashes for a split second, and nothing else.

I got the replacment 8015 Probe and still the same problem. I have also tested 2 other IOLinc's and they all do the same thing. The Sensor LED flashes for a split second when I press the doorbell button, but the relay nor the sensor in ISY ever turn to the on state (even for a split second). The voltage is 0 volts when the doorbell is not pressed and 11-12 volt when I press the doorbell button for a split second. Am I missing something here?

Smarthome said they are going to replace the Low-Voltage probe first and then the IOLinc if that dosent work. We will see.

I will try testing the voltate when the doorbell rings when I get home. But because I manually tried connecting and disconnecting a 18 volt battery and still the Low-Voltage sensor didnt ever turn the IOLinc on or off shouldnt the rule out the doorbell at this moment?

I have looked over the manual and the forums here and Smarthome with no real luck. I am trying to get the IOLinc to turn "On" when someone rings my doorbell (16 volts). I wired the Low-voltage sensor to the + and - on my doorbell bell, and plugged the other end (3.5 jack) into the IOLinc (nothing more is hooked into the IOLinc). I have the IOLinc linked to my ISY-99i. This is where I cant seem to get anything to work. the IOLinc Sensor light on the bottom is off. When I hit the doorbell button, the IOLinc sensor light never comes on even for a split secound. I have changed all the settings in ISY-99i to every differant combination with no luck (Momentary A-C and Sensor)... I even went as far as to grab a 18 volt battery and put the + and - wires on the Low-Voltage linc and still the sensor light never comes on and the status never changes to On. The only way I can get the Relay or Sensor status to change is to manually push the set button 1 time or 2 times fast..... am I missing something here? Thanks

Is it normal to "Only" have either "Beep Durration" or "Backlight Level" option (No On, Off or anything else) in the Insteon action settings for certain insteon devices such as: IR Transmitter (2411T) only shows Beep Durration KeypadLinc Relay (2486S) only shows Backlight Levels Thanks

What exactly is the differance between these two and/or why would one use one vs the other? Thanks

Microsoft took that feature out of Windows 7 and IE8+ Thanks

I am using IE. This is why the change would have to be done in the REST program itself so it is compatible with all browsers.. Thanks Or you can enable the use of it in IE. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/834489 To disable the new default behavior in Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer, create iexplore.exe and explorer.exe DWORD values in one of the following registry keys and set their value data to 0. •For all users of the program, set the value in the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE •For the current user of the program only, set the value in the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE I have already tried that and it dosent work for Windows 7 and IE 8+

By any chance can the REST command have an added feature of allowing the ISY-99i's username and password into the link such as below: http://ISYIP/rest/status/deviceid/login ... ord=123456 or something where I can place the ISY's username/password into the link so I can hard code it for internal URL Links. Thanks

That uses a differant webserver then a direct link to the ISY itself. That also requieres PHP. I am looking for a stright URL that I can put into a program (basically just an HTML page) that if an "Internal" user clicks it, it turns the device I hard coded into the link on or off. Thanks

My main problem is getting the username/password auto added into the URL

Is there a URL suck as: http://ISYIP/rest/status/device=command (such as "on" or something). Obviously this URL should somehow have the username/password included such as: http://ISYIP/rest/status?user=test;pass ... ;device=12 43 54;command=on I am working on a touchscreen for my house, and I want to create a few buttons to "Click" that will run a command on my "Internal Webpage". I would prefer to do this with HTML or Batch script only, no ASP/PHP. Thanks

No firewall on the internal network, but I will check on the perimeter firewall logs just to be sure it's not somehow going out to come back in.... Thanks again!
