Thanks for the information. I don't have a z-wave module.

I am currently on v4.5.4 for my ISY994. The older I get, the more I want to keep things simple and not create more work. With saying that, it appears if I take the leap to upgrade to 5.3 it will be a crap shoot if it will require any manual intervention to make the upgrade work. So, if I hold off for now upgrading, will the future version above 5.3 will it become more rock solid on it's upgrade process from older v4.x versions of firmware to above 5.3??

Yeas, I do have a ticket open into them. Well, I did the last ditch effort and I loaded hyper terminal onto my Win 7 box. I dug up an old null modem cable and connected to the ISY via hyper terminal. I performed a system reset through hyper terminal. After that I was able to get into the ISY via the ip address. I just got done reloading my backup program. Kind of odd, I did a system reset on the front of the ISY unit, and it never seem to take. Kind of seems like the ISY was hung up with any communications other then the serial port. Odd, odd, odd....

This is real frustrating, I can't login to admin console any more. So, I spent about 4 hours last night messing around with this. ISY-99i - Win 7 computer, saw the Java 7 issue, so I went to a computer that was running Java 6, still can't login to admin console - Disabled avg firewall, same results - I did a factory reset on the ISY-99i, same results - The power light is solid blue, all other lights are off, and Er light flashes red everyone once in awile - When I do an ipscan the ISY-99i is still at 192.168.1.131 However, I can't telnet into it, nor if I use a crossover cable and go direct to the isy-99i, I can't login to the admin console - I have tried this which I saw on another posting, and no luck 1. Go to http://www.universal-devices.com/99i/admin.jnlp ... This should install an icon on your desktop 2. When Admin Console comes up, minimize it 3. Click on the Add button 4. Use the IP address for your ISY in https://your.isy.ip.address … or you could try https://isy (this only works on Windows) - The isy-99i is plugged into a belkin power strip which is plugged into a UPS, so I don't think lightening has anything to do with this. - So I called "Please phone our Support Center: 818.631.0333 " What good is a support center if you call in and you can't talk to any one? So, with my luck I won't be in a position later to trouble shoot this when they do call me back. - Did the sd card go? http://www.universal-devices.com/mwiki/ ... an_SD_Card This is real frustrating that nothing was changed at all, and the unit did this. And I can't get a hold of anyone for technical support on the phone. Anyone have any more guesses what is wrong?

Well, I reset the kitchen switch 2476d to factory default, and now I am getting the control on and off. Strange, but it is working now. Thanks...

Correct, the motion sensor is not linked to the kitchen light which is controlled by a 2476D switch. I just implemented your "Kitchen Lights Manual Off" program. However, it is enabled and the condition is always "idle" and status is always "false". It is as if the "Control 'kitchen" is switched off. Is never being seen my the program. Any ideas on how to trouble shoot this? I looked in the vent viewer and the control off nor the control on is being seen in the event viewer. I am able to turn the switch on and off using the software interface and I see that in the event viewer. So, why isn't the switch control on and off being seen in the event viewer? I haven't looked into the phase coupler much, but can this be the issue? The ISY is in the basement, and kitchen is up stairs. I haven't looked at what phase each of the circuits is on.

I am running v2.8.16 in my ISY-99i. I have my motion sensor setup for night time only and only sends an On command. The motion sensor is in the hallway, and it turns on the kitchen lights. This is so when we come home and we come in the garage, the kitchen lights come on for us. Here is my problem I am struggling with, when we go to bed at night, we turn off the kitchen lights. Well, unfortunately we then walk pass the motion sensor which turns the kitchen lights back on, and they will stay on since the motion sensor only sends an on command. If I enable it to send an off command, well when we are actually in the kitchen the motion sensor won't see our movement and it will turn off the lights on us. Any suggestions on how to ignore the motion sensor when we goto bed? I would like to some how once someone turns off the kitchen lights by the switch, to not look again for the motion sensor for like the next 10-15 minutes. This is what I have for programming. Motion: If Control 'Motion Sensor-Sensor' is switched On And Status 'Kitchen' is Off Then Set 'Kitchen' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
