Well I moved the RL to a different location and this time it worked. It wrote the updates. That's the good news. The bad news is none of the 6 buttons work to turn on devices assigned to those buttons. BUT if I press the ALL ON button, all devices controlled by the RL come on and ALL OFF turns them all off. Progress I guess. Now I need to figure out why buttons 1-6 don't work. Suggestions on where to look?

Well I did that - unplugged everything and plugged it back in - no luck.

I put the RemoteLinc 1 at the opposite end of our ranch house as the PLM. It finally did finish the Write Updates. However, now none of the action buttons work. Ugh again! I put RemoteLinc 2 in the same spot and tried to update it and it still won't finish. I never had this issue with the old PLM. Should I try unplugging it and the ISY and start over?

Brian H, tried that. No luck. Ugh.

I also try running the Diagnostics show device link table and it errors out saying Failed writing device link [-200000/-51] and Failed reading device link [-200000/-5]. Not sure if that helps or not. Techman, the motion sensors are done. It's just the RemoteLinc's now I am having issues with.

Thanks. I moved them farther away and still no luck. I did all my motion sensors from my office and they updated fine. It's just my RemoteLinc's that won't update. Do I have to delete them and re-add them? Pain but I could do it I suppose.

And I followed the instructions posted by paulbates above (followed the link to the wiki) and now my RemoteLinc's won't take the update when I put them in programming mode and tell the Admin console to Write updates to the device. It goes through but the little 1011 icon is still in front of the device. Does the same thing on both RemoteLincs and yet I have Remote Linc 2 that updated fine. Ideas? UPDATE: looks like it gets to 80% on status bar and then it quits.

Can I put motion sensors, which are not in easily accessible locations, in programming mode from the Admin console? Or do I really have to physically open them and press the button inside?

My Powerlinc 2413S is failing which appears to be quite common. I ordered a new one. Can I simply plug the new one in when it gets here and update my ISY994i system with the new device address? Is there anything else special to do? Thanks.

The Restore Device worked! Thanks so much! Any idea why this happens?

I have the 3 wire garage sensor and I got the code here to have it send me a text message when the door opened or closed. It worked perfectly for months. But now the sensor doesn't automatically update it's status in my ISY994i so the code doesn't fire. If I query the device, it changes to the appropriate status. How do I figure out why this isn't automatically changing anymore?

My ISY994i is running V4.0.5 dated 2013-05-24

So I just edited my setup and deleted the line of code with the '5' reference in it. Hopefully that will stay fixed.

I've never loaded beta software. Not sure how this would have happened.

Also when I look at the line with the '5' in it for closed in the program editor, at the bottom of the screen under Action I see Notify To Default Content Garage Door Closed And I cannot select anything other than Default.

I only see 4 entries there. I don't see a way I can paste in a screen shot or I would.

Revisiting this topic... I have a program that sends me a txt when the garage door is opened or closed based on code in my post on 10 Jan 2014 above. But when I look at the code now, it looks like this: If Control GarageDoorSensor is Switched On and Control GarageDoorSensor is NOT switched Off Then Send Notification to '5' content 'Garage Door Open' Else Send Notification to '5' content 'Garage Door Closed' And I can't figure out for the life of me how this works! I don't know why there is a "'5'" there. I don't see my phone number defined anywhere in the ISY994a configuration so I'm not sure how I'm getting a text. I haven't done anything with this code in almost a year and I'm struggling now to come back to it and understand why it works. Any help would be appreciated.

I have an ISY994 running V.4.0.5 software. My house currently has 4 heating/AC zones each with its own programmable thermostat. I am considering replacing them with INSTEON thermostats so I can control them remotely through my iPhone. Do I just need to buy 4 INSTEON 2441TH thermostats? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks. That led to the solution.

My ISY994 apparently got messed up in the switch to daylight savings time because my lights weren't on this morning. When I tried to connect to the Admin console through my browser (Safari or Firefox) I get this error: Missing Application-Name manifest attribute for: http://192.168.1.10/web/insteon.jar I tried resetting the power on the ISY but I get the same error. Suggestions?

Why are both lines in the If test required to make this work? It seems like I should be able to just check the status of the GarageDoorSensor to see if it is Off or On but this code does not work without the 2nd condition. If Control GarageDoorSensor is Switched On and Control GarageDoorSensor is NOT switched Off Then Send Notification to 'Garage Door' content 'Garage Door Open' Else Send Notification to 'Garage Door' content 'Garage Door Closed'

That was exactly it. The sensor was about 1.5" from the magnet when closed. I thought the instructions said it could be over 2 inches but no matter. I moved the sensor closer to the magnet and it now stays Off in the closed position. Thanks!

OK so I get the 226L-3 switch today and put in the sensor. I used the red and black wires to connect to the ioLinc as instructed in an earlier post. The Garage Door-Sensor is an On state regardless of the position of the door. When the door is closed, it goes to Off briefly as the door reaches the closed state and then goes back to On. When the door is opened, it quickly goes to Off and then back to On and stays On. Is this expected behavior? I thought with this new switch, the sensor would read On if the door was closed and Off if open. Or did I get that backwards? No matter though, it reads On all the time with momentary shifts to Off.

I mounted the magnet of the original switch to the top of the garage door as well. Wonder if I can just leave that only when I get the 226L-3 and just put in the wired contact?

That is the way I mounted the switch that came with my ioLinc so I guess I'll do this new one the same way. Thanks.
