Another option is to use a 6 button keypad. The 4 buttons could be used to control scenes which could then control other lights in the house while the two main buttons would the kitchen light. http://www.smarthome.com/insteon-2334-232-keypad-dimmer-switch-dual-band-6-button-white.html

You can query the 2441ZTH, and make changes to its settings if it's running on an external power supply. If it's running only on batteries then you can only query or make changes if it's in the linking mode..

Take a look at this post http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/17614-program-icons-color-codes/?hl=icon&do=findComment&comment=158584 Right click on a program and select "status icons" then click on "detailed"

Is your alarmtype variable a State or a Integer variable? It should be a State variable

What's the date code and firmware version on the problem unit?

I tried everything to no avail. I ended up doing a RMA.

I just ran across the same problem with a 2441ZTH Hardware version 1.50 Firmware version 0E It reports humidity but not temperature. A factory reset didn't resolve the problem. I have several other 2441ZTH with earlier hardware and firmware that work perfectly. I'm doing an RMA on this one. The current 2441ZTH is hardware version 1.6, Hopefully they corrected a flaw in the previous release.

A "not responding" will give you immediate results if the device does not respond to the "not responding" It's probably not a good idea to run a lot of queries as creates a lot of Insteon traffic and might interfere with your normal operation The "3:00 AM query all" does exactly that, it queries all your devices. It runs at 3 am so not to interfere with programs, etc. that may be running in earlier time slots. Is there a particular problem that you're trying resolve?

when soldering you have to be careful not to apply too much heat as you can damage the relay case and the relay. I normally use an IC socket, solder to the pins on the socket then plug in the relay, or if you're inclined to solder directly to the relay pins then use a heat sink between the relay and your solder joint

add an off statement to the Else clause and change control to status in the IF statement ELSE set keypad to 0

The ISY queries the sensor to get its firmware version so it sounds like the sensor is defective. The date code indicates that they were built in January 2014. Not sure if those units even had a .40 firmware. Sensors built in late 2014 had a .43 firmware.

Do your other leak sensors also show a firmware version of v.40 Did you buy them all at the same time

Did you first delete the sensor from the ISY before you tried to add it back in, if not try doing that.

A possibility is that the Leak Sensor was programmed with the wrong firmware at the factory What's the date code and hardware version on the sensor?

You could write a program that limits the MS turning on the lights only during the evening hours IF Time is between 7:00 pm and 7::00 am next day and MS is on and light is not on Then Turn on lights Else

After the factory reset try using auto discover rather than selecting the device type.

The device is most likely not supported in your firmware version. The hidden door sensor has only been available for a short time. Which ISY do you have 99i or 994?, If it's the 99i then it is not longer supported and you'll need to upgrade to the 994.

Factory reset the device then try to add it to the ISY using the auto discover option. Make sure that the sensor is first put into the linking mode. What version of the ISY firmware and UI are you running?.

Other program options are CONTROL and STATUS, which respond based on a device either being physically changed or the status of a device being changed by a program or condition. Take a look at the UDI Wiki which has a lot of programming suggestions If you have a particular task that you want to accomplish just post it in the forum and you'll always get a quick answer. .

Can you give an example of what it is you'd like to do. The ISY allows for a lot of creative options.

I just ran some tests, it's not necessary to issue a query first in order for the program to detect a failure and send a notification. When you run the IF clause the "not responding" statement sends a query.

If the IF statement in the program evaluates as true then the THEN statement will run thus sending you a notification, if it evaluates as false then the ELSE statement will run, which in this case is null. You can test the program by tripping the GFI to verify that you'll get a notification.

If one of the values changes in the IF statement then the program would restart othewise the program would run until it completes. I don't see the need for a second program, but if you decide to use one then the second program, once triggered, would run until it completes regardless of the status of the first program

You could query the Insteon device using a program. If Time is 2:00 pm and status device is not responding Then Send message Else

The sensor sends out a heartbeat signal every 24 hours, you should have a program to monitor the sensor heartbeat. That way you'll know if the battery is low and/or if the sensor signal is being received. As with any RF only device you need to have a dual band device within close proximity to receive the RF signals. An external dual band device such as a on/off module, lamplinc etc will provide better RF coverage than a device mounted inside a wall
