Thanks, I haven't tried starting the TL linking BEFORE hitting OK on the ISY setup. But I'm still having the same issue. I got it linked (again), but still getting the communications errors when trying to add it to a scene. Here is a snippet from the Event Log: Thu 12/29/2011 06:00:25 PM : [14 89 B1 1 ] Link 3 : 0FE0 [0000000000000000] Writing [00..............] Thu 12/29/2011 06:00:25 PM : [iNST-ACK ] 02 62 14.89.B1 1F 2F 00 00 00 0F E7 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 06 (00) Thu 12/29/2011 06:00:34 PM : [iNST-ACK ] 02 62 14.89.B1 1F 2F 00 00 00 0F E7 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 06 (00) Thu 12/29/2011 06:00:42 PM : [iNST-ACK ] 02 62 14.89.B1 1F 2F 00 00 00 0F E7 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 06 (00) Thu 12/29/2011 06:00:46 PM : [14 89 B1 1 ] Link 3 : 0FE0 [0000000000000000] *Failed Writing [00..............] Activating the TL causes the ISY admin console to detect whether it is on or off.

Thanks for the suggestion. Had a brand new battery (measures 1.57v), and as I said, it links up fine directly with the KPL. Once linked manually to my KPL, it's quite reliable and from several areas of my house (including where I'm testing - about 2ft from the PLM). Before attempting to link it to ISY, I unlinked it from my manual KPL link. I replaced the battery (1.61v) and tried to link again with the same (negative) results. First attempt actually linked, and I could even get it to show in the admin console when it was ON vs. OFF. However, I could not add it to a scene as it was not fully initialized and had a red ! next to it. Several attempts to Write Updates to Device failed with error "Cannot communicate with . Please check connections." Not sure this is the case as there is no issue talking to my KPL. On subsequent attempts, I deleted the TL and attempted to do it again. After 4 more tries, I was not able to get it to link. Each time, it failed with the error, "Failed writing the highwater mark [-200000/-1] Node not added - failed removing links (14 89 B1 1) [-200000/-9]". After each attempt, I've done a factory reset on the TL just to be safe. Something else interesting; even with out being linked, I can see events showing up in the Event Viewer whenever I activate the TL so it seems to be broadcasting it's status, and ISY is picking up this status just fine. Again, during this process, ISY never tells me when I should place the TL in Link mode. After selecting Link Management, New INSTEON Device, I fill in the address (read from the sticker and verified from the Event Viewer), Name, and Device Type [10.02] (2421) TriggerLinc. I select "Remove existing devices", but also have tried "Add Devices Found in Links and remove existing links"; both with the same results. After hitting OK, I immediately get a message box saying, "Initializing System", and it seems to be scanning for the TL. I've tried to do noting and see it if finds it, I've also tried hitting the Link button right after I hit OK to add the device; neither seem to matter. Any other thoughts? WS

Hello, Recently purchased an ISY-99i and must say I'm lov'in it. I tried to link a new TriggerLinc and can't seem to get it to work. I tried the linking process with various degrees of success/failure. Following the directions, I added the device manually. The instructions said to follow the on screen instructions for when to hit the SET button; I never get any instructions. After a bit, I hit the set button anyway. From the event viewer, I see it try to communicate, but eventually, in most cases, it just fails. I did get it to link once, but the moment I tried to use it in a scene, it gets and error saying it can't communicate and gives a red ! next unit. Tried several times to Write Updates to Device but it never works. Before trying it again, I would set the TL to factory defaults; this doesn't seem to help. I tried doing this in an area where another RF device is working fine (a motion sensor). Also put the TL within 2ft of the dual band PLM with no luck. I was able to manually link this TL to a KPL and that works flawlessly. I could leave it this way as this was my end goal, but it sort of defeats the point of using ISY to manage everything in the network. I'm running v3.1.15. Upgraded to get a new Dual Band KPL to work which wouldn't prior to the upgrade. Thanks. WS
