  1. If your ISY was rebooted and/or lost power then the status windows of your RF devices will be blank in the admin console until that RF device sends an update signal. By manually restoring each RF device you forced them to update the admin console.
  2. The load needs to see 110v. You could use an In line Dimmer Switch to supply the voltage, and cap off the load wire on the KPL which would free up the button. Insteon Item #: 2475DA1
  3. To use the 64 bit version of Java you need to also use the 64 bit version of a web bowser otherwise you should install the 32 bit version I Java notes: https://java.com/en/download/faq/java_win64bit.xml
  4. You might also want to make sure that both sides of your powerline are properly bridged using the 4 tap test https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=INSTEON:_Troubleshooting_Communications_Errors
  5. The Access Point has been renamed and updated, it's now the Insteon Plug-In Range Extender, Item #2992-222. Some of the earlier versions of the (discontinued) access points had reliability issues. Properly placed plug in modules, such as lamplincs and on/off modules can do the same job as range extenders. Being that their antennas are external they do a much better job than KPLs or Switchlincs whose antennas are at the rear o the device which is mounted inside a wall.
  6. Run a diagnostics / compare for each device in your scene to see if it shows any damaged / missing links, You could also try deleting and recreating the scene. It's possible that something in the scene got corrupted .

    When you get your issue resolved could you please post the results.

    The ISY log will only display change of state for your devices. Something was using up your ISY resources, not sure exactly what. Possibly your variables?
  9. Techman replied to MrBill's topic in ISY994
    In the Admin Console Click on Tools | Diagnostics | System Status. That will show your ISY available memory. If it's low then that could be an issue. It's possible your variables or notifications are consuming your memory. I would also try updating your firmware to the current beta version. The 5.x.x is a work in progress and you might have come across a bug. Being that you're running a beta version you won't be notified of new beta updates. Update notifications are only sent out for final release firmware. You'll need to check the forum for the most recent alfa or beta release.

    The log you posted shows the Queue as FULL. Do you have programs running that could be consuming memory? You may also want to update to the latest firmware release which may contain bug fixes.

    The admin console isn't designed to be left permanently open. It's possible that you encountered a (lack of) memory issue.

    They discontinued the Wireless thermostat, the white tabletop KPL enclosure, and the led color change kits for the KPL. They've deeply discounted the Black table top KPL enclosure. These are the items I'm aware of, there's probably more. I'm not aware of anything in the development stage, and there's nothing new on the FCC certification site for Smartlabs. UPDATE In addition to the above, they also discontinued the Synchrolinc and most ofthe colored options for the KPL and Switches. What bothers me the most is that there has been no news releases, updates notices, etc. since the Company was bought out. This is not a healthy way to run a Company.

    They've discontinued several of their products and deeply discounted others which suggests they are thinning out their product line. I was told that the new owners are going to focus on the Insteon Hub and the smart phone apps. They seem to be pushing their Hub integration with the Amazon Echo
  14. In the admin console click on FILE | THEMES | FONT SIZE If you're using a large hi res monitor then there are other options...…..

    In addition to the factory reset, be sure to follow the exact procedure in the attached file Replace ISY PLM.pdf
  16. The links for scenes are contained in the devices. You could remove the PLM from the equation and the scenes would still work. If you want to add or remove a battery operated device from a scene you first have to the device into the linking mode so the link tables in all the associated devices can be updated.
  17. Have the first program call the then statement of a second program which will turn on then off the lights. The second program will complete regardless of the state of the first program program 1 IF control door sensor is on THEN run program 2 ELSE program 2 IF THEN turn on lights wait 10 minutes turn off lights ELSE

    What ISY firmware and UI are you running? The device is compatible with 4.7.3 ISY firmware. Do a factory reset on the module then ty plugging into a different outlet. Don't press the set button on the module, just enter the modules address into the ISY and then try linking
  19. Techman replied to captainc's topic in ISY994
    The error message indicates a communications problem between the PLM and the DEVICE Take a look at this video troubleshooting video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMx5yHTU2g4
  20. Keep in mind that 5.0.14 is a beta version. They're still working on getting all the bugs out. Not sure if ELK has issues. Take a look at the ELK thread, maybe you'll find answers there. https://forum.universal-devices.com/forum/8-elk/

  22. Can you post a copy of the program that turns on the light via the motion sensor. What options do you have set for the sensor?
  23. The motion sensor senses changes in temperature, not motion. i.e. when a person walks across the sensor's field of view it detects the difference between the person's body temperature and the temperature of the surrounding environment. There should be a sensitivity adjustments under the device options in the ISY if you're using ISY 5.x.x firmware.
  24. If your timeout is set to 30 seconds then your IF statement will reevaluate when the sensor switches off. The THEN statement won't complete due to the 2 minute wait prior to turning the lights off. Put your THEN statement into a second program and have the first program call the THEN statement of the 2nd program. The second program will complete even if the sensor turns off after 30 seconds..
  25. Battery operated devices go into a sleep mode and can't be queried from the ISY unless they're put into the linking mode. Press and hold the set button on the top left until the led blinks green. To cancel linking press and hold the set button until the led blinks red.
