  1. Put all the lights into a scene and then run a program at sunset to turn on the scene You can run a 2nd program that runs from 10:01pm until ?? that says if lights x,x,x are not off then turn them off.
  2. Noremac, I noticed that your Remotelinc is showing v.00. It most likely didn't install properly. You should delete and reinstall it. When installing/linking battery operated devices make sure only one battery operated device is in the linking mode at any one time and that the device is within close proximity to a dual band device to insure RF coupling.
  3. Do a factory reset on the switch then a device restore from the ISY
  4. Hi Drew, I'm not sure what the factory setting is, but it's really no big deal to play with the led setting to find one that suits you.
  5. If you're using the device with the ISY then you have the option in the admin console to adjust the device's leds Being that you have manually changed the setting on the device it's probably a good idea to do a restore device.
  6. You might want to run a PLM link count again, if it looks like the PLM is not retaining its links then you have a defective unit. If you bought it from Smarthome then its still under warranty.
  7. What's the date code and the version number of your PLM. Did you buy it directly from Smarthome?
  8. did you link them following the instructions that came with the devices, or did you link them using the instructions for the ISY?
  9. The PLM date code shows it was manufactured in February 2015 so it should be OK. Some of the earlier PLMs had issues with their power supplies. I would focus on electronics that may be interfering with the Insteon signals. Do you have a UPS, TV, etc on the same circuit as the PLM? Here's a troubleshooting flow chart https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Troubleshooting_Flowchart
  10. Cam, What's the date code and version number of your PLM? If you run a diagnostics / compare on one of the devices that's problematic does it show any mismatched link tables? It's possible that the PLM is failing or that you have some interference on your powerline. Have you recently added any new electronics, etc?
  11. It's probably not a good idea to have to door close unattended. What you could do is have a timer signal an alert in the house if the door is left open for a period of time.
  12. The date code on the keypad indicates it was built in 2009, the firmware is v.36. The unit probably needs to be replaced if a reset didn't resolve the problem. Some of the older keypads had problems that have since been resolved.

    If you have a Lamplinc, a On/Off module or a Range Extender, which are all dual band, you can try plugging one into the IOlinc to see if that eliminates your problem. If it does then you most likely have a powerline communication issue that you'll need to work on.
  14. Techman replied to raptor's topic in ISY994
    If your using the ISY994 then use the CAT5 cable between the ISY and the PLM. Be sure to exactly follow the PLM replacement procedures. found here Do not do a "delete modem" https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:File_Menu You may also need a power supply http://www.smarthome.com/universal-devices-isy-power-supply.html
  15. You can try a restore PLM which might give you a temporary fix but you'll still most likely need to replace it.
  16. What's the date code and version on your PLM. Is the green led on the PLM lit?
  17. A range extender or a external dual band module such as an on/off module will probably give you better RF range due to the location of their antennas.
  18. If you want use this as a remote then, depending how your house and garage are configured, you'll need a dual band device or a range extender near the garage door in order to optimize the range of the remote which is only about 50 feet. The IOLinc, which I assume you'll be using to trigger the garage opener is not a dual band device.
  19. Techman replied to cdneh's topic in ISY994
    Did you link the IOLincs to the ISY using the ISY linking option? Do you have any other controllers installed other than the ISY? If you trigger the IOLinc program from the ISY rather than from MobiLinc do you get the same results?
  20. Can you be a little more specific. Are you referring to the 2342-222 Remotelinc?
  21. Try setting the on level to 1 and the off level to 0 If the on level is set too high then the led will still be lit when the button is off. The exact ratios vary from keypad to keypad depending on their firmware version so you'll have to play with the numbers to get the results you want. Hope this helps.

    What program/action turns on the IOlinc relay(s) What options do you have enabled for the IOLinc?
  23. The default user name and password are both "admin" If that doesn't work then try Stu's suggestion
  24. Were you using the default login or did you change it?
  25. The motion sensors will time out after a preset time. In your program use STATUS not CONTROL in your IF clause to trigger your scenes. When the sensor turns off then so will your scene as the status is no longer true.
