Just FYI, there are a few isteon repair videos on YouTube. Mostly it's about the capacitors.

I'd love to ask him about the possibility of open sourcing the insteon environment. However I am working the polls for early voting in North Carolina so cannot attend the seminar. In my opinion the only viable long-term strategy for insteon to is to open source the whole thing. I'm sure there are other opinions about this, but I feel with Zwave out there, having been adopted by Leviton, and so many others, that remaining proprietary is just not viable for insteon.

Can anyone explain why the below program fails to wait the 2 minutes as specified in the Repeat clause? It instead cycles the light on/off every 30 seconds - *never* waiting the requested 2 mins for the 'repeat' clause. I cannot understand what the ISY is doing. Shouldn't it immediately execute the Wait 30 Seconds, then turn lamp on(off), then wait another 2 mins to do the repeat? (Note: below program is only for test purposes. I am only trying to figure out how to predict and control when the IF clause fires. So if it looks like it is performing a useless function, then, yes, that is true.) If From 5:28:00PM For 15 minutes And Status 'Living Room / Living Room Torchiere Lamp' is Off Then Repeat Every 2 minutes Wait 30 seconds Set 'Living Room / Living Room Torchiere Lamp' On Else Wait 30 seconds Set 'Living Room / Living Room Torchiere Lamp' Off It would be extremely helpful if someone could explain what is really going on in the ISY behind the 'IF'. For the life of me I cannot get my head around the actual events and conditions that trigger the evaluation of the IF clause. And this is preventing me from making effective programs.
