ISY having intermittent issues - is PLM going bad?
1239 = 39th week of 2012 The current versions of the PLM's have updated hardware and firmware. It's best to buy directly from Smarthome to be guaranteed that you'll have the most current release, and you'll also get the 2 year warranty.

Dimmers not updating status
What type of bulbs are connected to your dimmers? Does the problem occur for both the on/dim and off functions?

New to ISY
You can try removing power from both the PLM and the ISY, then first power up the PLM, wait about 15 seconds then power up the ISY. Delete a device with a v.00 firmware, then re-link it. There most likely was a communications issue.

Programming flood light question
Yes, halogen and incandescent bulbs work with the Insteon dimmer modules. Non dimmable CFL and LED bulbs should not be used with dimmers.

New to ISY
How did you link the modules. If you're showing v.00 then the ISY didn't pick up the device's firmware version when you linked it.

Replacement ISY - Motion Sensor?
Is your motion sensor within close proximity to a dual band device. Make sure that your ISY firmware and the UI are the same version number.

New to ISY
Being that the PLM and the ISY are the heart and brains of your system I would still suggest that you buy from Smarthome. When you buy from a 3rd party you really don't know what you're getting until it shows up on your door step. All the Insteon devices, including the PLM are constantly evolving. Unlike the ISY which has the ability to have its firmware updated, the Insteon products don't yet support that option. There's an old saying: If you think you're getting a free lunch then you just haven't received the bill yet.

New to ISY
Once your PLM begins to fail it will continue to fail until it completely stops working. I would strongly suggest buying a new PLM directly from Smarthome. That way you'll get a new dual band device with the latest hardware, firmware and a 2 year warranty. You should probably hold off building your system until you replace the PLM.

What's the date code and version number on your PLM? You might have bought someone else's problem.

A question about Insteon leak sensors ...
You'll need to remove the film. The two metal contacts on the bottom of the sensor need to be able to make contact with water.

2845-222 Hidden Door Sensor
Hi Jon, The open node on the ISY will show either on or off so I guess there was really no need for an off node to be supported.
-
2845-222 Hidden Door Sensor
The ISY does not support the CLOSED node on the open/close sensor, only the open node and the heartbeat.
-
2845-222 Hidden Door Sensor
It sounds like you may have a communications issue rather than a battery issue. Do you have any dual band devices within close proximity to the sensors? The open close sensor sends out a heartbeat signal every 24 hours. You can write a simple program to monitor the heartbeat node on the open/close sensor and have it send you an email in the event that the heartbeat signal isn't received.

2845-222 Hidden Door Sensor
Are you getting low battery signals from the sensor(s) or are the sensors just not working? Have you or can you physically measure the battery voltage on the sensor when it fails? The batteries should last at least 6 months or longer.
-
What Causes This? Multiple ON Commands
Some of the motions sensors have a firmware bug that causes them to send multiple on signals when the batteries get low, this precedes a low battery signal which sometimes is never sent.

Could Not Access ISY
Remove power from the ISY then reseat the memory card and power back up.
