Change "on level" based on day/night - can't get it to work
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

Emergency Health Alert needed... Insteon?
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"

Change "on level" based on day/night - can't get it to work
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)

Not sure if I'm dealing with bad hardware or comm issues.
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.

Not sure if I'm dealing with bad hardware or comm issues.
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.

KeypadLinc Dimmer 8 button (v45) unable to turn off attached lights
I think the problem may be in your scene and not the hardware Run a scene test and post the results

KeypadLinc Dimmer 8 button (v45) unable to turn off attached lights
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.

Motion sensor causing "ALL ON" event! Again!
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

2441ZTH No Temperature Display on Console
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%

Correct way to restore PLM?
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.

8 Button Keypad Not Recognizing Pushes on 3 Buttons
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?

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

Entire system going crazy
Stu is correct, it was on Amazon. The good news is it's still there waiting for you!!

Entire system going crazy
I just noticed that Smarthome has dropped the price on the 2413S to $53.65. I wonder if they're clearing them out for the new model?
-
ISY lost controll of all devices.
The 2413S PLM is dual band, both RF and powerline. If your system appears to be more dependent on RF then the powerline you may have either interference on the powerline or the two legs of your powerliine may not be properly coupled

Problems with my ISY994i - Stopped Communicating
Is the green light on the PLM lit? If not then either the PLM failed or the PLM isn't getting power from the outlet. Did you check the cable between the PLM and the ISY

How do you correlate the group broadcast address to a scene
Under tools | diagnostics there's a scene test option which turns the scene on and off and opens up a level 3 diagnostic window with the command details. It also provides a list of devices controlled by the scene. This probably doesn't accomplish exactly what you're looking for but this is the only other tool I'm aware of that might help you out.

Receive Status but cannot Control
Which version of the ISY firmware and UI are you running A switchlinc is hardwired device, how are you plugging it in?. What's the model number of the device? If you remove the LED lights then run the diagnostics what happens? Plugging the PLM or other devices into a outlet strip could interfere with the Insteon signal. Try bypassing the strip
