Lee, It is brand new, as of about a week ago. I'm not sure how to paste the event viewer results, but your diagnosis sounds plausible. I do see things like: Using Engine version i2 for 'Motion Detector-Sensor' Writing 0 bytes to device INST-SRX - Process Message: Ignored I will try to upgrade later and see if that works. Thanks, Bfish

Hello All, After about 90 minutes of reviewing forum posts and playing with my first motion sensor, I am more than a little confused and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Several challenges: 1. When I jumper #5 I am supposed to be able to control options with ISY. I am able to get into the options screen via ISY when the Motion Sensor is in programming mode, but the changes I make never stick. Near the PLM or near a dual-band switch doesn't seem to matter. 2. I have since jumpered #4 for "on only" as that is the behavior I want (and un-jumpered #5). I have added the motion sensor to a scene which controls an applicancelinc (for a desk light) and a RemoteLinc which is my "wall switch" for this lamp. The behavior I am trying to create is that the motion sensor turns on the light when I enter the office, and I will turn it off manually with the remotelinc switch when I leave the office. Seems as if I turn the scene off with ISY then motion sensor will turn it back on, but only after some period of time. I have the dial turned down to what is supposed to be 30 seconds between on and off, but it requires a longer wait than that, sometimes not turning back on for a few minutes, even when the LED indicates motion is sensed. Should it really require any wait in on only mode? Any help greatly appreciated. I can usually figure this stuff out, but today i am rather frustrated. Thanks, Bfish

Thank you, LeeG. That worked perfectly and I learned something new today!

Hello All, I am making good progress learning basic ISY programming, but today I am stumped and am hoping someone can tell me what I am doing wrong. I have a KeypadLinc with button F set to turn on/off my "Kitchen All Lights" Scene. That scene is comprised of a Kitchen Ceiling Lamp and a Kitchen Table Lamp. The scene and the keypadlinc button work fine on their own. But, when my wife turns one or the other light off manually with the individual ToggleLinc Dimmer Switch, I want the KeypadLinc LED to go off (or to minimal backlight level which is default). Belowis my program, yet it doesn't work. I have tried about 10 permutations, all to no avail. If Status 'Family Room / Back Door Switch / Kitchen All Lights (F)' is not Off And-( | Control 'Kitchen / Kitchen Ceiling Light' is switched Off | Or Control 'Kitchen / Kitchen Table Lamp' is switched Off -) Then Set 'Family Room / Back Door Switch / Kitchen All Lights (F)' On 0 / Off 0 (Backlight Level) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanky you!

Hi all, I installed an 8 button KPL and button B is for a set of under counter LCDs on an Appliancelinc. Button B is set as a controller of and responder to the Appliancelinc. When the lights go off by timer or manually by Mobilinc Pro, the B button stays lighted. I was under the impression that the light on the button should go off. Do I need to edit something in the ISY99i programming or is this normal. Thanks in advance!

Lee, I ran the event viewer as you described, and in fact only got 1 alert, despite several signals being sent When I returned home and disarmed the system, I got no alerts, although previously I did. So I gather the event viewer is somehow "trapping" the alerts. Do I have that right? Also, is there anything I can do without the Event Viewer running 7x24 to program around the multiple alerts. Thank you very much for your insights thus far and anything you can add! Bfish

Hi there, I am a newB coming to ISY99i from 25 years of X-10 use. So far in my first week I'm thrilled with the capability and reliability! In my learning, one of the first things I wanted to do was send an email alert to myself whenever my alarm system was armed (or disarmed). The alarm system sends X-10 commands when this happens. My log viewer shows that this happened: INSTEON Device Control Value Time User Log Type X10 I All Lights On (5) Tue 2012/01/31 06:42:21 PM System Log X10 I All Lights On (5) Tue 2012/01/31 06:42:21 PM System Log X10 I All Lights On (5) Tue 2012/01/31 06:42:19 PM System Log X10 I All Lights On (5) Tue 2012/01/31 06:42:18 PM System Log But, I only wanted 1 email alert, not the 4 I actually received. Here is my ISY programming which I thougth would avert the redudant emails with the "Wait" but it has not. If X10 'I/All Lights On (5)' is Received Then Send Notification to 'Default' conent 'Alarm turned on' Wait 10 seconds Else - No Actions - (To Add one, press 'Action') Any suggestions as to what I should be doing would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, BFish
