I've now got the program working. My last question is what is the monitor icon and how do I change the app to remove it?

I installed the Irrigation Program V2 last night. I've installed the Weather bug module also. After it installed I noticed that I had a monitor icon labelled Irrigation. In it were all of the Irrigation stations 1-8 as it should be. I then created a folder that is called Irrigation and moved the 8 stations there. I now have an icon that resembles a monitor that is populated with the contents of my "Network". I can not remove the icon or delete it. On another note the stations will function on manual. However the program would not run at the scheduled time. Could it be related to the icon and the location of the station in a separate folder?

Hi, I've scoured the forums and my head is spinning. I've found partial answers and I'm hoping that I can get a specific answere here. I've got two garage doors and both are on IOLinc's. I've installed a 6 button Keypadlinc. The upper and lower KPL buttons control a three way garage light setup. I want key "a" and "c" to control "open" and key "b" and "d" to control "close" and to show the status if the door is open. Currently, I've got the black and red wires connected to the sensor and it shows on and "led" when the door is open. If I can get the setup for "a" and "b" I can duplicate it for "c" and "d". What scenes do I need? What button settings do I need? What Momentary mode should I have set? What options on the sensor do I need selected? All help is appreciated!! Thanks in advance, Bob

Right now I have one garage door connected. It is in momentary mode "c" and the IOLinc shows the led on when the door is open. I prefer this setup. My understanding is that buttons on the keypadlinc toggle so I'm ok with this configuration. I would like the adjacent button to the door switch to show if the door is open. I'll look at the page that you suggested. Thanks.

I'm installing my second Garage IOLinc and door sensor. I've also got a three way light in the garage and I'm planning on using an 8 button Keypad linc and a linked switch to control the light. What configuration should I use so that I can control and see the status of the respective garage doors and also control the light as a three way on the Keypad linc?

No the "relay follows sensor" is not checked. Only "LED on Tx" is checked with Momentary "c" The story is more complicated because it seems that the scene will not control the IOLinc either from the ISY web app or from the mobilinc. Both show what the staus should be based on the command either on or off but nothing happens. I think that this is this a problem with the IOLinc. Other scenes that I have work just fine. I've spent as much time on this as I spent intalling Switches for half of my house. Very frustrating! Hello Watchdog507, Please confirm visually the following items for me. 1. The red & black wires from the sensor are wired to the I/O Linc. The black wire is placed on the GROUND, while the Red wire is placed on the SENSE. 2. You have connected the other two leads directly to the GDO. Connecting one wire to the N/O (Normally Open) while the other wire is inserted into the COM (Common). 3. Set the I/O Linc to Momentary C mode via the ISY. If in doubt at this point I would urge you to do a factory reset of the I/O Linc. It already doesn't operate as you wish so no loss here. 4. Once the I/O Linc has been factory reset. Please use the ISY to change the relay to Momentary C mode. 5. Press the I/O Lincs Set button. The door should raise and lower as though you're using the remote control, or hard wired switch for the GDO. If it does not stop . . . If it does, and the LED on the I/O Linc displays a green LED upon open & off when closed please continue. 6. Create 2 scenes in the ISY: Name of Scene: Garage Door Relay Status Make this a Responder: I/O Linc Garage Door - Relay Make this a controller: KPL what ever button Name of Scene: Garage Door Sensor Status Make this a Controller: I/O Linc Garage Door - Sensor Make this a Responder: KPL what ever button 7. This portion is the most important part . . . Please ensure the door is OPEN. The I/O Linc's LED should reflect the open status. If not stop, until it does! DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR VIA THE I/O LINK SET BUTTON!!! Open the door via the GDO . . . Once this step is done, and you have followed the drag and drop of those two scenes I have indicated the door should open and close with pushing only 1 button. Which will reflect the open / close state via the KPL LEDS . . . Ensure that the KPL button is left in *Toggle* On/Off I have installed this device several times and this has been the most solid method I have been able to control the door, all the while having only one KPL button do all the work. It never falters and is 100% accurate. The biggest problem I encountered was using the I/O Lincs Set button to do the initial programming and also opening the door! You only do this part in the very first step to confirm that the door can in fact be controlled and open / closed via the set button. Pressing the idiot button at any other time will make you scream and pull every strand of hair out of your head! Don't ask me how I know . . . Teken . . . Thanks for the detailed response Teken. You and everyone else have been glowing examples of people helping those of us who come here for assistance. Your points are well taken and I'll be using your methodology to install another IOLnc for the other side of the garage next week. I'm sure that the next install will go smoothly thanks to all of the assistance I've now received.

Final update: I removed all references to the IOLinc and sensor. Reset the IOLinc to factory defaults. Rebooted ISY. Reloaded browser and logged on. Started from scratch to relink. All is working as it should. Thanks to all who helped here. The best solution was to reset and go back to scratch. I did this before but this time it worked!

Hi The responder level is set to 100% the ISY firmware is the latest beta 3.1.16.

Let me restate the questions: How are you sending the "on" and "off" commands? From the ISY-99 admin panel? From the ISY, via mobilinc? Are you choosing the relay, itself, when you send the command, or the scene which includes the relay? Is there a controller in the scene that includes the relay? I've sent the commands from both Mobilinc and from the ISY. Both in the scene and directly to the device from either. Only the "On" command opens and closes the door. The IOLinc ignores the "Off" command.

The responder level is at 100%.

Let me restate the environment: IOLinc with sensor, ISY 99iR Pro, Mobilinc. The IOLinc is in "C" momentary mode as per the ISY Web interface data. Whether in the scene or out of it the IOLinc only responds to the "on" command the "Off" command does nothing. It is my understanding that the "off" command should trigger the relay to shut the door. Only hitting the "On" will shut the door. The sensor is working correctly and shows the correct status fo the door.

Maybe I'm obtuse but whether you're in the scene or out, the relay only responds to the "On" command and ignores the "off" command. On operates the relay and opens and closes the door. The sensor is working correctly and shows "off" with the door closed and "on" with the door open. How do we geet it to respond to the "off" command?

Hi, I've installed an IOLinc garage relay. The sensor is correct and glows when the door is open. The ISY and IOLinc are set to Momentary "C" as per the options in the ISY web interface. I have created a scene for the garage door it is to control. However whether it is in the scene or not only the "on" command opens and closes the door. This is driving me a little bonkers. ISY and Mobilinc will show the correct status of the door either on for open or off for closed but the "off" switch never closes the door only hitting 'on" again will work. What am I missing here? All help is appreciated. Thanks, Bob
