I have a brand new PLM and just got this message. I have also had odd program behaviour since installing the new PLM. Am I to understand I have a defective PLM?

I've got it in the ISY but still with Exclamation marks. I programmed a scene to one of the buttons as a controller and it worked (sometimes I had to push it twice to trigger the scene but I also didn't remove the tin foil from the PLM if that makes a difference) The ISY didn't recognize the scene had been triggered. My next try would be to put the Remotelinc in the barn (its a separate service but still controlled by the ISY) I have two SWL out there version .27 Are they dual band RF devices? If not what are dual band? Drew

Doesn't seem to be doing anything. Should I delete the device and try to find a better place to set it when I try to re add it? Any thoughts on where I need to put the remote to hopefully have a better result in adding it to the ISY? Outside? as far from the house as it'll go and still be found? I'm getting the feeling i'll be burning a few AAA's before I'm done Drew

Hi Brian How far away were you? If I go too far I assume it won't read at all. I've been running everywhere and finally got the remotelinc added but there are exclamation marks beside the buttons. I can't query it either. I add a button to a scene and it seems to add but won't actually control the scene. I have another Remotelinc and had no problems adding it whatsoever. Don't know what the difference is Drew

I just tried that and it seemed to recognize the Remotelinc but it told me it couldn't add the Remotelinc because it Couldn't determine Insteon Engine I've tried a few times. Should I put it in a different room? Drew EDIT I sent this just as Brian added his post. I'll try putting it upstairs and let you know Drew

Sorry for not being clear. I have the older remotelinc 1 I click on the GUI to Link a Remotelinc and it pops up the New Insteon Device window but no other step or anything to get the ISY to recognize and link to the Remotelinc

Hi Guys; I went to the wiki to see how to add my remotelinc and I don't see the same window pop ups that are on the wiki I go to Link Management and select Link a Remotelinc. I get the New Insteon Device window pop up but nothing that tells me to hold the A button until it flashes. I tried this anyway and the GUI told me it couldn't find a device. I believe I have the latest updates and all. Am I missing something? Drew

I air gapped and restored the KPL. Seems to be working. Thanks Larry and Stu Although for some reason the KPL buttons on all the KPLs in the house light up (buttons B-H, A button is off) Is there a way I can also shut off all LEDs in my program? I'll let you know if the timer works tomorrow Drew

When I click it (non toggle off) it flashes once. None of the devices react Larry: No I haven't. I could try that. (pull the tab out for 10 seconds then push and hold all the way in for 10 seconds, correct?)

There are 26 separate devices in the scene I don't have the controller in the scene. The KPL triggers the scene via a program. (I have all the KPL buttons of each KPL in the scene as well to shut off, maybe that's an issue?) I've not gotten to see if the timer to shut it off works as I can't get the program to trigger first. The KPL that triggers the program is not in the scene This seems like it should be easier than this.

Bedtime Button - [iD 0008][Parent 0043] If Control 'Entryway KPL 7 Nighttime' is switched Off Then Set Scene 'Nighttime' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') and this is the Off timer Bedtime Button Off - [iD 0009][Parent 0043] If Time is 5:30:00AM Then Set Scene 'Nighttime' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') For some reason when i push the Nighttime KPL button (set to non toggle off) nothing happens Drew

Hi guys; I had this scene/program working perfectly but since redoing my ISY I can't seem to get it back. I'm following all my steps in this post http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/1110-night-scene/ but to no avail. In short, I want to press one KPL button (in non toggle off mode) this will shut off everything but leave four lights on at 20% Then at sunrise have a program shut everything off. It seems simple but then again so am I as it turns out. Any light on the subject (I didn't mean to do that, apologizes) would be great. Drew

Thank you Larry. Its been so long since I've had to tweak or fix anything as far as the ISY is concerned I've forgotten. Still not quite up to 100% so I'm sure I'll be posting more questions over the course of the day. Thanks again, Drew

Is the best way to have the LED of a KPL show the true status of a scene to make a scene with the KPL button in question and have it trigger when a program runs? Or is there an easier way to do this? I'd like the KPL button LED to reflect the status of the scene. (If I trigger a scene by double clicking a SWL and that scene is also triggered by a KPL button I'd like the KPL button to light.) I hope I'm making sense. Drew

Hi guys; I had my PLM go down and had to replace it. I've redone everything but I notice a few things are still hanging around from the original PLM/ISY programming. With two SWLs, I press on (up) and they only go to a certain on level and stop. I don't have them programmed to do this so I'm not sure how to make them stop. Also When I press the B button on a KPL the A button comes on as well. (I had this programmed like this before so this isn't much of a mystery except I thought by redoing everything this should have been erased.) Any thoughts? Drew

Hi Guys; I have to remotelinc 1's and a remotelinc 2 (the remotelinc two never worked consistently until I recently gave up and took it apart, now works great, clearly the evil gremlin has been let loose) Aside from that, one of the remotelinc 1's will kill batteries while the other one has lasted for months (maybe well over a year) I know a lot of people had this issue and was wondering if they've solved it or found a workaround. Drew

Hi guys; I have an older Lamplinc 2456D3 and was wanting to get another one but I can't seem to find it on the smart home site. I see a few 2 prong models but nothing with a ground pin. Am i looking in the wrong spot? Drew

I believe its the first Insteon device i purchased much longer than two years ago but I didn't know about the 2 year RMA Good to know for the future

To top it all off the set tab just broke New KPL time. Drew

Still no bueno When i do the restore it only controls the load (and not with the ramp rate it should have) I will then airgap it and then it becomes non responsive I'm going to delete it and rediscover it and probably just reprogram it. Don't know why this isn't working. Drew

Hi Teken I can turn the load off locally I can also turn the load on and off from the GUI I believe the KPL has been reset to factory So now I'm going to select the KPL from the GUI and restore? Drew

Hi Guys; I had this issue before. (Here's the link) http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/16142-kpl-odd-behaviour-after-power-failure/ I've done all the steps outlined and I'm still having no luck. I've upgraded to Yosemite and I've downloaded the Java update. I can remove the KPL from the ISY and rediscover it I then try to restore it. This seems to do nothing. I've gone and airgapped the KPL but no luck getting my programs and scenes back in. I can just start again if need be but I'd like to work through this Thanks, Drew

Can I use a KPL button to trigger a non dimming item such as LED spotlights (non dimming) and the Insteon 2635-222 ON/OFF Module? I know the KPL buttons dim or brighten when you hold them pressed so I'm unclear if this is possible Drew

At least I'm not alone hahaha Thanks again. Drew

Thank you Brian Peace will now reside in my home once again. I'm assuming you meant can't in your reply not can' ? Drew
