What version of the ISY firmware and UI do you have installed? What's the date code and version info on your lamplinc (from the sticker on the back of the device)? It appears that you have a communication issue and either a device or ISY firmware that may not be current What's the date code and firmware info on your PLM?

Maybe when, and if, you eliminate the reliance on Java?

Hi Michel, Any chance we could have the option to create a unique directory for the ISY's config files?

Norton Internet Security routinely runs a performance "tune up" utility which among other things also deletes the contents of the Windows temporary folders causing the ISY to revert to its default settings.

There's no option for the backlight to stay on. Probably done to save the batteries in the event you're not hooked up to a power supply.

The ISY configuration is saved in the Windows temp folder. If the temp folder contents is deleted the ISY reverts back to the default value. The ISY Version 5.XX firmware is supposed to address some of these issues, but it's still in alpha testing.

Take a look at your "ramp rate" it may be set too high If your scene and program are written correctly then the light should come on at 50% without a delay

I don't think Insteon is the answer. There are commercial options available, some available from alarm companies, that you should look into. Google "medical alert systems"

Sorry, I left out that you have to first put the switch into a scene. The program runs the scene which adjusts the on level when the switch is turned on, but does not turn on the switch when the program is run. See below If From Sunset + 1 hour To Sunrise (next day) Then In Scene 'Bathroom Master Light - KPL' Set 'Bathroom Master Light - KPL' 20% (On Level) Else In Scene 'Bathroom Master Light - KPL' Set 'Bathroom Master Light - KPL' 45% (On Level)

The program in post #3 will do exactly what you want. Just substitute the name of your Switchlinc and the time frame.

Does this help? If From Sunset + 1 hour To Sunrise (next day) Then Set 'Bathroom Master Light - KPL' 20% (On Level) Else Set 'Bathroom Master Light - KPL' 45% (On Level)

The PLM was manufactured in the 34th week of 2015, it's probably OK. Take the device, "Penny's table", and plug it into a circuit close to the PLM then try to query it. If you're able to do a successful query and a restore device then you most likely have a communications issue, if not then you might have a defective device. When you do a factory restore on a device be sure to wait until the long beep stops before releasing the set button. You can also try removing power from the PLM and the ISY then power up the PLM, wait about 10 seconds then power up the ISY

What's the firmware version and date code on your PLM? Do a scene test on the "Penny's table lamp" scene. That will give you a level 3 report with details.

Take a look at this thread http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/20511-remotelinc-2440-problems/?hl=2440 All battery operated devices need to be put into the linking mode in order to write updates to them. When not in the linking mode they are in the sleep mode in order to preserve the battery life. If you have more than one battery operated device then only one battery operated device should be in the linking mode at any one time. If the lamplinc is still giving you problems then you might want to try doing a factory reset on it, then do a restore device.

Put the mini remote into the linking mode then click on write updates to device.

I think the problem may be in your scene and not the hardware Run a scene test and post the results

Try removing power from the KPL for about 10 seconds by puling out the set button. If that didn't help then try a factory reset / restore device. I've had several KPL's act up when there has been a surge on the power line. The reset seems to work for me.

Check your MS batteries, Some of the MS send a continuous ON signal, instead of a low battery signal, when the battery voltage is low. Not sure if this has been corrected in the recent firmware / hardware release of the MS

What's the voltage of your A/C supply? Try doing a restore device, it's possible that the link table got corrupted The temperature only updates about every 2 degrees of temperature change regardless of whether you're on batteries or A/C. A query won't update the ISY. The humidity will update upon a change of 1%

After updating Java and the ISY did you clear out your Java cache, including deleting applications, then download a new version of the admin app to match the ISY firmware?

Only one RF device at a time can be put into the linking mode. After you restore the PLM then put one of the RF devices into linking mode and right click on the device and click on restore device. After that device exits the linking mode you can then do the same for the next RF device. If you're still having issues after the restores then you may have either a failing PLM or a communications problem between the PLM and the devices. A restore PLM rewrites the link tables in the PLM with the data stores in the ISY.

What version of the ISY firmware and UI are you using? What version of Java are you using? What message do you get? I'm also running Windows 10 and have no issues accessing the Admin Console using the Java app.

also try doing a diagnostic | compare on the KPL to see if you have any links that are mismatched. are you running the 994 pro? what version of the ISY firmware and UI are you running?

are you including the bathroom?

How about this setup on your night stand http://www.smarthome.com/insteon-2335-222-6-button-scene-control-keypad-with-tabletop-enclosure-white.html You could use the dimmer to control the lights and the other buttons to turn on your scenes
