So we can see what the ISY thinks the link tables of a device should be. Why is that option not available for the PLM? It would be nice to get a quick count on total number of links in the PLM. Under Tools>Diagnostics>Show ISY Links Table there is as drop down menu where you get to pick the device that you wish to view the links ISY thinks the device should have. Why is the PLM not one of the devices available to choose in this list?

Adding my IR RX after deleting it and factory resetting it due to previously mentioned issue. Ready/Busy Flag flashes to Busy and a Progress bar pops up when adding a node/code. Immediately goes back to Ready and pop up progress bars disappears even though it is not done writing to device and write flag on device does show still writing.

The tendrils of this have been discussed in other topics, but I thought it would be nice to have all the hard limits in one place. Also I do not know what all these values are so chime in if you know something. ISY Maximums: Pro: Max. Devices/Scenes 1024 Max. Programs 1000 Base: Max. Devices/Scenes 256 Max. Programs 300 PLM Maximums: V 63 and below 417 links maximum above v 63 2000 links but the processor was only able to handle about 800 really reliably Dual Band PLM 1023 links with a processor that can handle all that. Questions: The real limit on scenes is 255 right? So what does Max. Devices/Scenes mean? Is the program limit a hard number, or is it an available memory issue? and therefore an estimate?

What is the function of 'Responding' when the status of a device is selected in the If of a program? If Status 'Bathroom / Bathroom Shower Fan' is Responding Then - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

No. I still only have one node with an address. That node now responds to two distinct different IR commands. I had 18 or so distinct individual IR codes programmed into the module. Each node responds to different unique IR codes. I need some additional controls. So I find some valid unassigned NEC codes. I know they are valid because the green talkback LED responds to their sending to the module. I know they are not currently assigned to any node as I use the event viewer to verify no insteon communications with initiation of that unique IR code. I add the new IR code using the procedure prescribed by ISY pop-up window. No new node is added to the tree. But now I have an existing node that responds to two different unique IR codes. To me it appears that the ISY did not recognize that I already had 18 nodes with this module. Then when I started adding additional codes it started incrementing the node numbers by one assigning the new unique IR codes to existing nodes that now respond to two different IR commands.

I do not know if this is related to the beta, but I thought I would mention it here just in case. I have an IRLinc receiver. 2411R. I attempted to add a several buttons to the device and it was a disaster. The first button I added got the address of xx.xx.xx 1 the second xx.xx.xx 2 and so on. This was a disaster because those node values already existed in the ISY. So the ISY was not adding new nodes to the tree. It appeared that the new IR code got added to an already existing node. So now when I send the IR code stored in node xx.xx.xx 1 the node shows a control on. Also if I send the first new code I tried to learn tonight the node xx.xx.xx 1 shows a control on. I had about 18 nodes on this device before trying to add more tonight. I tried adding about 7 buttons to try and figure out what was going on and each new button added got added to the next higher already existing node. At this point I can figure nothing to do but delete, factory reset the module, and begin again. The first button I added tonight should have been xx.xx.xx 18 or FF or whatever the value would be, not xx.xx.xx 1 and I should have gotten a new node.

As a Mac user, thanks for that. Interesting.

An observation: 6 button KPL v.2D. I want to have the big off button have its LEDs off as referenced in this post: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=2623 If I set this as a toggle in the ISY, it functions as expected with the LEDs illumated behind the big 'On' button when pressed, and behind the big 'Off' button when pressed. Using the methodology mentioned in the referenced post, if I make the main button a non-toggle off, the big LED never illuminates. If I make it a non-toggle on, I cannot make the big 'On' buttons LED ever turn off. I still have to invoke the manual tap method to get the button to function, but have the big 'Off' LEDs never on. A function I have never had much success with from the ISY, despite others seeming to have success with setting this behavior from within the ISY.

Lee, Thanks for taking the time to post. Query Insteon Engine fixed everything!!! Is that a new feature in the 3.XX series. I do not remember that function?

Were there adjustments to the LED Backlight settings in this round of updates since the last official release? Half of my Switchlincs did not dim their LEDs last night after upgrading from 3.1.17.

Upgrade progressed smoothly until ISY lock-up with PWR RX and TX leds on solid. Hard re-boot and all is well.

Should be 3.2.4

I am getting ready to upgrade to 3.2.4, I and see this in regards to 3.2.3. I have many Syncrolincs. The only issue I have with them is that the 'Delay' function does not appear to affect the devices. Is this something that will be fixed by deleting them and adding them back in when I go to 3.2.4? If not, I sure do not want that hassle if it is not necessary. I have lots of programs referencing them and do not have a spare to do the add/replace and we still do not have my requested 'phantom devices' What other functionality should I gain by undertaking the large task of removing and adding back these devices when I upgrade from v3.1.17?

If you have dimmers you are not using, then yes, you could use those to trigger scenes with an Insteon I/O module. You will want a ghost load on the dimmers to ensure proper operation. Like maybe a couple of hundred watts probably. You could try a 100w bulb or a 60w. I am assuming these are 2.4k dimmers. Then you could use the output of the dimmer to trigger a relay that would be the contact closure for the Insteon input device like the one you linked to. Or even simpler, if you only need a couple is this: http://www.smarthome.com/24950A2/I-O-Li ... Kit/p.aspx and just have the sensor see the ghost load... I think your sense wire idea would work as well, but again, I think you are going to want that ghost load on the dimmer output. I do not know how sensitive the sense wire is, but easy enough to play with...

frustratednon-geek, Yes this is possible right now, but not super easy. There is no direct Insteon to DMX or DMX to Insteon converter that I am aware of. Your most likely solution, if you only need control of a few Insteon scenes from the Elation board is a DMX contact closure module and some Insteon I/O input modules, like an I/O link for each scene you want to control or one of the EZIO modules that can have lots of inputs. Then you need a DMX to contact closure interface. You could talk to the people at Pathway Connectivity. http://www.pathwayconnect.com/ They already have a product: http://www.pathwayconnect.com/content/view/30/29/ that will do 12 Scenes. Another great resource would be Doug Fleenor Design: http://www.dfd.com/ He also has a product that I believe is exactly what you are looking for and it already is in an enclosure: http://www.dfd.com/6r1a.html His stuff is fantastic. I have used dozens of his products in professional settings with no failures ever.

I have a bunch of those programs that run when I am in 'Away' mode. As such, the final off time is real important because I may not be home for a long time to see a light stuck on. If the command is missed because of a collision with another event etc. the light would stay on till the next night. As I am not home during this 'Off' event, I figured why not throw some repeats in there just to make sure. Mostly cause it is so easy.

If From Sunset + 20 minutes To 2:00:00AM (next day) Then Wait 20 minutes (Random) Set 'Bathroom Vanity' On Repeat Every 0 seconds Wait 20 minutes Wait 20 minutes (Random) Set 'Bathroom Vanity' Off Wait 20 minutes Wait 20 minutes (Random) Set 'Bathroom Vanity' On Else Wait 15 minutes (Random) Repeat 3 times Set 'Bathroom Vanity' Off Wait 2 seconds (Random) I use this code to create the lived in look at my house. You could use similar code to control your water feature. Just set the proper time parameters in the if. The random wait times create your random feature. The wait times without random insure minimum runtimes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

SynchroLinc 2423A5. In the options for this device there is a setting for Holdoff (Secs). I cannot detect any behavior change in the device regardless of how I manipulate this settings. I have tried on multiple different SynchroLincs, all with the same result. The device reports on/off the same whether I have this set for 1.34s or 10.5s. Any thoughts? Anyone else having this issue? I thought that this would be a setting for holding off on the reporting of device status change until that amount of time had lapsed and the device is still in the new state, which would have been great for me. As it is, I had to make a program with a wait time to act in this fashion.

Michel!! I worry you may have misunderstood... We know you are kidding about the spare ISYs. Both ELA and I are talking about better PLMs. Although it is cool to know your failure rates. Thanks for that little tidbit.

Funny Michel ELA, I have most definitely considered keeping a spare, but I can never pull the trigger on the purchase. Each time I bail because of this probably flawed thought process: Maybe soon they will come out with newer/better firmware. Or even better, maybe they will come out with a more advanced model with awesome new features. Like maybe one with a bigger database. Or faster processor. Or two external antennas. Or a bigger internal power supply that can again supply juice to the ISY. Or a pass thru outlet. Or the ultimate for me: switches to turn off power line and RF connectivity for troubleshooting. I am kinda surprised there is not a pro model of this product with three times the price and some advanced features, as it is one of the most important components along with the ISY. So I always pull the aux PlM from my cart before purchase, thinking surely soon there will be a pro model.

If you do not have an iPad, no it is not worth it. Even if you do have an iPad, I actually prefer the blown up size of mobile link pro versus the different interface of mobile link HD. Mostly is a change in the user interface. I have friends that actually greatly prefer the high resolution and attractive graphics of the mobile link HD on their iPad.

I would recommend mobilinc connect. A new service offered by the ISY and mobilinc. Check the forum topic for Mobilinc under "Third Party Products" Edit: Just found this great link: http://www.mobileintegratedsolutions.co ... ncConnect/
