Does anyone have a decent diagram of installing the 226L-3 switch? The 1 page manual on Smarthome just says it mounts to the floor but I'm not sure exactly what they mean. Any help would be appreciated.

I just got my SL-SM226L switches but it only has a green and black wire. Did I get the wrong switch?

Whoa, I'm going to have to have to chew on that one a bit.

Well as I said, I ordered a new switch and will install when it comes but if I was comfortable using backward logic so to speak, I could still do this with a scene couldn't I? Turning the scene on would close the door rather than open it. Am I missing some subtle point?

In my iPhone in the Mobilinc software, I have a geo fence defined and the state variable Kent's_iPhone_Home is defined and says it will have a value of 1 in region and 0 out of region. My ISY994i has under Programs/Variables/State a variable called Kent's_iPhone_Home and has a value of 2. 1. Are these the same variable? 2. Why does the ISY have a value of 2?

Xathros, Could you possibly shed a little more light on why the new sensor/switch will allow this to be done with a scene rather than a program? Thanks, Kent

Beautiful! This works great. Thanks very much.

Do I have it right that if I want to trigger some actions (turning lights on or whatever) when the garage door goes up, that I must have a program running on my ISY994i that is continuously checking the status of the garage door relay? Maybe the program does a wait of 1 minute but it must loop back and check again. Is that the only way to monitor a device status?

Right now, the duration on Momentary B is set to 2 seconds and it seems to work. I also ordered one of those SECO-LARM NC switches. Thanks.

Xathros, Again, thanks for the quick reply. OK I've changed the Sensor to Momentary B and I now get On for closed and Off for open. Where do you get a NC switch to replace the NO switch?

And this is the status of my Sensor as seen from the Options display. See the attached file. It's in a Latched mode. Should it be in Momentary A, B, or C? If so, which?

Xathros, thanks for the quick reply. I thought I'd be able to test to see if the door is open or not but based on the status always showing ON, I don't think I can do that, can I?

I just got the INSTEON Garage Door Control Kit and I have a couple questions. 1. Adding this to my ISY994 added 2 devices: Garage Door-Relay and Garage Door-Sensor. I assume that is expected. 2. The Garage Door-Relay device stays in the On state and to operate the door, I have to send on OFF command followed by an ON command. Is that expected? 3. I made a simple program to do the OFF and ON sequence in #2 but is this the way this is supposed to operate? Thanks.

No ballasts or transformers. I reset the APs and things seem to be working so far. Is it correct to say I don't really need APs if I now have dual band devices working on both legs of my electrical service? Do they serve the same purpose as the APs? Do APs do anything that dual band devices do not? Thanks.

Never heard of that one. I'll look that up. Also, do you have to add APs in pairs? Does it make sense to add a 3rd AP at a point in the house that is not close to either of the 1st two?

They're not all on the same circuit and yes, I have access points for each side.

it's all of them I'm afraid.

My new ISY994i seems to be working... most of the time. But I am finding that I have some programs that say they ran but the actions are not taken. For example, I have a program that turns off my outdoor lights in the morning at sunrise. Here is a portion of my log file: Front Door Lights Fast Off Thu 2013/12/12 08:13:29 AM Program Log Scene:Christmas Outdoors Off 0 Thu 2013/12/12 08:13:29 AM Program Log RL UP - 6 Status 0% Thu 2013/12/12 08:17:45 AM System Log Shed Lights Status 0% Thu 2013/12/12 08:17:45 AM System Log Garage Lights Status 0% Thu 2013/12/12 08:17:45 AM System Log Outdoor1 Status 0% Thu 2013/12/12 08:17:45 AM System Log Outdoor2 Status 0% Thu 2013/12/12 08:17:45 AM System Log Shed Plug Status 0% Thu 2013/12/12 08:17:45 AM System Log Island Plug Status 0% Thu 2013/12/12 08:17:45 AM System Log It looks like it should have shut all the lights off but it didn't. I am wondering if the time delta from Scene off at 8:13 to the first device action time of 8:17 is any clue. This is completely intermittent unfortunately. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't which makes debugging next to impossible I realize. Any suggestions?

Perfect! Thanks. It was not obvious that I could expand the window. Once I put in the longitude with the latitude, the sunrise/sunset times line up. Thanks again!

I just upgraded to an ISY994 and I want to set a custom location to get accurate sunset/sunrise times. I live in Grand Rapids, MI (west Michigan) and Detroit is the only option in the database. I chose Custom Location and it looks like I can only enter a Latitude which I did. The Latitude for Grand Rapids is 42.9612 deg N. I entered that and sunset/sunrise times are off by about 10 minutes. Do I just play with the Latitude until I get accurate times or is there a better method?

Thanks but the fix there did help. This is a Safari issue only. The backup works in Firefox so I'm covered till this gets fixed.

That resolved that error message. Thanks. Now I can't backup my config. I'll search the forum and enter a new thread if I can't find anything.

Not sure what my entry would be. Any idea how to figure that out?

Yes it does. See attached screenshot.

I do see that. See the attached screen shot.
