Soooo, I upgraded to 3.3.5 last night,but didn't have a chance to mess around with the programming. When I get home tonight I plan to unlink the (2) 6 button keypadlincs I manually programmed to operate/monitor the garage door. After upgrading last night I noticed that in the left side of the screen where all the devices are listed, the newer (6) button keypadlincs only showed one address. This is different than the ( button keypadlinc dimmers that show the ( additional devices/addresses below them......does that make sense? Thanks, Ed

I upgraded my firmware to 3.3.4, but still couldn't get the I/O linc to work with my keypadlincs. I ended up doing a "band aid fix" by manually linking the keypadlincs to the I/O, it currently works as I wanted, but I would much rather have the ability to do all this through the admin console. Has anyone had this same issue? Thanks, Ed

Lee, I just saw that you posted that I need to run 3.3.4, I will try this as soon as I get home today. Yesterday afternoon I spent another 5-6 hours on trying to resolve this issue, even calling Smarthome Tech support. Because the isy admin console would not toggle a bunch of options on the i/o link, I had to change the momentary positions by pressing the set button for 3 secs in sets of 3 to change to the next possible value. The Smarthome tech support quoted "UDI still hasn't resolved THEIR issue". The Tech had me remove and reinstall the device, but it still never allowed me to change the momentary options via the admin console. Does everyone agree that 3.3.4 will resolve my issue? This has been by far the most frustrating device I've ever attempted to install on my ISY. Thanks again for all your help!

Ok, Well I got home and went back at it, but now my icy is blinking the red and blue (the one right next to the red led). The only thing I did when I got home was change the momentary status of the relay with the help of the Smarthome Tech support. Because the icy wouldn't allow me to change my momentary relay values I have to go to the I/O unit itself and change the status by pressing and hiding down the button on the unit til it beeped. I did this three times x 2 (each time changes from A, B, C. Any suggestions on how to get my icy back on line? Thanks, Ed

Lee, Thanks for your time! I seem to remember programming the kpl for the relay first, when I did it asked if I wanted it to be a controller or responder and I picked controller. When I programmed for the Sensor it popped up with something along the lines of "Since you already have the buttion programmed as a controller you must want this to be a responder" and I checked ok. I will conform this when I get home this evening, Ed

As you recommended, I will try to break this up in two parts when I get home. You said: "I just wanted to make sure your sensor is defined in the scene as "controller". Is this true? I had the Door Sensor as the Responder and the Relay as the controller. Does that make sense?

Oberkc, Firstly, I just want to say thanks for helping out on this issue, you and quite a few others have assisted in me in solving just about any problem I have put on here! This particular problem is driving me crazy! I spent a good 5-6 hours trying to get this to work out yesterday, but it would only either get the kpl to open "or" every once in a while show the status of the garage door. I have recently updated to the newest ISY version and the newest java applet. I have the I/O wired so that the NC Door Contact crosses terminals GRD and Sense and the Garage Opener goes across COM and NO. I have (2) Scenes: 1. Garage Opener Relay KPL Back Door "H" (Non-Toggle) Controller Garage Opener Relay (Momentary) 2. Garage Opener Sensor (Hooked up to a Sentrol High Security Door contact wired NC when the door is closed) KPL Back Door "H" (Non-Toggle) Responder Garage Opener Sensor I can't figure out how to post screen shots to the forum, could I email them to you? My next option today will be to try an wire the Sensor input into a spare input on my Simplehomenet EZIO2X4 and link it to the scene. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks again, Ed

Mr. Tinker, I am running into the same issues, I spent hours yesterday trying to get this I/O linc to work. When I get home from work today I plan to "monitor" the garage door status from a different module (EZIO2X4) and see what I can come up with. This seems like Smarthome makes it much more complicated that it needs to be. I will let you know how I make out. Ed

oberkc, Thanks for your response. After reading further I have decided to go with a "one press" of the keypadlinc to open or close the garage door. I would also light to have the led behind the same button monitor the status of the garage door. This would allow me to see the status of the garage door by looking at the keypadlinc from across the room. Does that make sense? Ed

Good Morning All! I feel like this should be a simple question, but I can't figure out one little rule I want to add to my program. I would like to have a couple lights to turn on when I have the garage door open between sunset and sunrise. (I have a I/O linc installed). What I can't figure out is how I can program that "if" the Garage Door is already up/unsecure, I don't want anything to happen. Any suggestions? Thanks, Ed

Thanks Xathros! I will do that when I get home this evening. Any suggestions on the Garage Door issue? Thanks!

Forgive me if this has been covered in another post, but I wasn't able to find my specific question. I have multiple keypadlincs I have recently installed and have a couple questions regarding how I want them to talk/work. One thing I am worried about is someone accidentally pressing the button for the outdoor floods during the day. I understand I have to add a rule,but where do I add it? Would that be in Programs? I currently have a Scene for (Outdoor Floods) and have keypadlinc "g" as the controller. Another question I have is programming a keypadlinc button to monitor the status of my Garage Door (already have contact/ garage opener wired to the garage opener module) and control the door. So if the door is left open, I would like keypad button "h" to light up, if I press the "h" button *twice* the door rolls down. Once the door is completely closed the keypad led button "h" goes out. Thanks in advance for your help! Ed

Thanks everyone!

Can someone please help me out on this? Ok, So I have correctly wired the I1 and I2 contacts and have them working correctly, but I would like some clarification on how to wire the other two contacts to the I3/AN1 and I4/AN2. Thanks in advance! Ed

oberkc, Thanks for your input! I will reprogram when I get home. Ed

Sorry, forgot to mention I am using an iSY99i and a PLM.

Good Morning all! So I just installed my first KPL, and everything went pretty well. I programmed my first button to control my gas fireplace by having the "g" button control my insteon quietlinc outlet that powers the fireplace. The problem I have is that if I turn on my fireplace using my mobilinc app on my ipad/iphone it won't light up the "g" button on my KPL. Knowing that I use my mobilinc app quite frequently and that I plan to program similar devices/scenes I just want to have this "know how" prior to adding other devices. How do I get the "g" status light on my KPL to come on when I turn on the device linked to "g" using mobilinc? I'm sure there is a small step I'm missing, but being new to programming I apologize. Thanks in advance for your time! Ed

Thanks Lee! I figured I would just see if anyone has tried it. I will let you know what simplehomenet says.

Good Evening all! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I acquired a Mighty Mule Driveway alert a while back but have yet to install it because I wasn't sure if I could link it into my Insteon network. (link to the device provided below) http://www.mightymule.com/pop/8.htm After looking around on simplehimenet.com I found this little device that Smarthome has on sale. Does anyone know if this device would communicate the Mighty Mule Drveway Alert system? The EZSnsRF looks to accept various wireless signals. (link to the EZSnsRF provided below) http://www.simplehomenet.com/proddetail ... ransceiver EZSnsRF - Wireless Sensor Receiver - Model #5010E Thanks in advance for your help, Ed

I just recently purchased a isy-991ir and was wondering if I could make this scene/event work. Stagecoach lights on my garage come on via a motion sensor when it gets dark out. What I would like to do is have them come on at about 35% but when the sensor detects motion they will ramp up fast and go to 100% for a set time. Has anyone made something like this work? I have had quite a few x10 devices in my house for about 6yrs now, I can't wait to hook up some of these Insteon devices I have ordered. A couple other events I'm working on include: Garage Door Opener via iphone/internet Gas Fireplace on/off (With contact for the flame and a appliance receptacle for the blower motor) Incorporate existing x10 modules for my flood lights Any other recommendations that you guys/gals have would be great! Thanks for all your help! Ed
