I read somewhere that HouseLinc offered the option to change the "Beep on Button Press" Option. I hooked my PLM up to my PC and installed HouseLinc. It does not offer this option either. This is strange since the user guide mentions this option as a software only option, and clearly the switch is beeping when I press a button. Anyway, once I linked the switch so HouseLinc could see it, the beeping stopped. Very strange. I plugged the PLM back into the ISY and everything is working fine. I did not attempt to do a restore of the switch. Thanks for the help and advice.

I agree it may be a defective device. Completely deleting and relinking will be a lot of work since it's tied to a bunch of scenes and programs, so at this point I think I just will live with the beeps, and then maybe replace the switch later on. Thanks for the help.

I know exactly what you are talking about. This is what happened the first time I tried to factory restore it. However, I was successful the second attempt. I just tried it again this morning, per your advice. Here is what I did. 1. Pulled out on the lower set button, observed the LEDs on the switch turned off, and the switch was no longer operational. 2. Waited more than 10s and then using the tip of a knife I pressed the button all the way in and held it. It beeped once, I continued to hold it for about 10s. 3. I released the button and then it beeped twice and the LEDs turned back on. 4. I observed the switch no longer made a beep when I pressed the on or off button, and it no longer controlled the scene it was in. Based on this behavior it would seem that the switch was successfully reset, would you agree? I then did a restore device from the admin console. After this it controlled the scene it was in fine, but the beep on button press is back. It would seem that something the ISY is writing to the switchlinc is causing it, because prior to restoring the device, it does not beep.

The only options listed are "Program Lock", "LED on TX", and "No LED".

I have a Dual Band SwitchLinc Dimmer (2477D) that all of a sudden started beeping when I press a button. According to the manual, this feature is off by default and can only be turned on by software. As far as I can tell ISY (firmware 5.0.14) does not offer this option, so I'm not sure how it got turned on in the first place. I did a factory reset on the switch, and verified the beep was now off. I then did a restore device from the admin console and afterwards, the beep was back. Anyone know of a way I can turn the beep off?

No, its a Venstar T1800 with the add on adaptor (2441v) V.95. The sticker on the back says rev 2.4.

My V.95 thermostat adapter is now reporting status, however I am not sure why it started working. I updated to 3.2.4, but the adapter was still not working so I decided to try resetting it again I did a backup, deleted the adapter, factory reset, added it back, and did query insteon engine, but it still did not report status. I then decided to do a restore from the backup I made previously so I would not need to fix all the programs that had the old thermostat references. After restoring I right clicked on the thermostat and did restore device. After the restore I noticed that the thermostat was now reporting the status to the ISY. I'm not sure exactly why it started working, perhaps it was the "restore device" that caused it to start working as I have never tried to do that before.

Michael, so sorry, I did have the thermostat off, but forgot to include that step in my previous post, I have edited the it to include that step. I have attempted to remove and add back the thermostat a couple times and have been unsuccessful in getting it to report status back to the ISY without a query.

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention this, but I did try to remove and re-add the device, but that did not work. Here is what I did: 1.) right-click, delete device from My Lighting 2.) make sure thermostat is in off mode 3.) remove adapter from thermostat for 20 secs 4.) hold set button while plugging adapter into thermostat and hold for 3 secs to reset to default 5.) start linking 6.) hold set button for 3 seconds 7.) finish linking 8.) query insteon engine Is that correct?

Okay, one more thing to add. After a little testing, the status is not being reported to the ISY. The commands are being sent and the thermostat is changing, but if I change the temp on the thermostat manually, the status is not showing in the ISY. Is that normal? If so, I will setup a program to query status.

Just updated to 3.2.2 and my v95 thermostat is now responding to commands. I had to query insteon engine first, and it is still not working within scenes (maybe it's not supposed to?), but programs are working, which is all I need.
