Perhaps a factory reset might help?? 1) Remove battery and wait at least 15 seconds 2) Press and hold set button on Open/Close Sensor while reinstalling battery 3) Release set button when the status LED turns on Open/Close Sensor status LED will stay on for about 4 seconds and then turn off

You might want to take the CLEAR node out of your equation / program. You can also try to query a node, such as low battery, to reset it. I'm not 100% sure but I believe the Clear node is a AL CLEAR signal which is sent once a triggered node is back to its normal state You can also add the ${sys.node.#.name} variable to your email notification body. This will tell you which node is triggering your email.

The keypadlinc that shows up as a 5 button is actually the 6 button keypadlinc. To remove the device from the ISY right click on it then click on DELETE. It's strange that it installed as a 5 button unless it was previously configured as a 6 button KPL. Is this a new KPL or a used KPL? (The 8 button and 6 button KPL's can be reconfigured to either 6 or 8 buttons). You should probably do a factory reset on the KPL before you reinstall it.

Try putting the sensors into linking mode, only one at a time, then do a restore device. It's possible some of your PLM link records got corrupted. Be sure that the link mode has stopped before putting the next sensor into linking mode

Krusty66, Additionally, you should do a factory reset on both the dimmer and the remote to remove all the links between the two devices, then reinstall the devices via ISY linking. This insures that the ISY is a participant in any commands issued from either the remote or the dimmer. When you have a scene all the devices within the scene know what the state is. Also a scene resides in the PLM not the ISY, this allows the scene to execute even if the ISY is off line. If you're using a remotelinc in the 4 button mode then you'll have bright / dim functions by pressing either the left or right buttons from the pair included in your scene.

How do you currently have the remote controlling the dimmer? It has to be either a scene or a program.

Put the remote and the Dimmer switch into a scene, both as controllers, the correct status will then be reflected on both the dimmer and in the ISY. Was the remote linked using the ISY linking?, if not it should be.

can you post a screen shot of the email configuration you're trying to use. Be sure to obscure your email address / password before posting.

Remove power from both the PLM & ISY. Power up the PLM, wait about 10 seconds and then power up the ISY. No need to factory reset the PLM again.

Try a restore device on the 2672 bulb. If that doesn't work then there's always the 2 year warranty option.

If the ISY is in safe mode that means that the ISY is unable to communicate with the PLM. Being that the LED is not lit on the PLM means that the PLM has failed. The previous PLM's had an issue with the capacitors failing after about two years. The current shipping PLM has updated hardware and firmware. Your safest bet is to by a PLM from Smarthome. During the month of May they are doing free shipping on most orders.

The ISY has no way to know the state of a scene. The scenes don't report their status back to the ISY. The scenes reside in the PLM which also allows them to function even if the ISY is offline.

All devices should be linked using the ISY. Linking devices outside of the ISY prevents the ISY from knowing their state, etc.

Being that the 2441ZTH thermostat doesn't have a low battery or heartbeat node I use a simple program to monitor communications. This assumes that the humidity will change at least once within a 6 hour period which then restarts the 6 hour timer loop. Program Thermostat monitor IF Status 'wireless thermostat' >5% (Humidity) Then Wait 6 hours Send notification to 'your email' content 'Wireless thermostat Communication failure' Run Program 'Thermostat monitor' (IF) Else no action

The power supply should be between 5 and 5 1/2 volts. Higher voltages will cause erratic behavior. Some power supplies are noisy and can interfere with the operation of the stat. If the thermostat is connected to a power supply then try running it on batteries to see if that improves communication, but give it a while to stabilize, it won't report immediately.

You probably have poor communications between the thermostat and the ISY. try placing a dual band device such as a range extender near the thermostat. The wireless thermostat reports changes about every two degrees.

If you're factory resetting all the devices, then it probably wouldn't hurt to do a factory reset on the PLM. No need to reset the ISY. Then do a restore PLM - DO NOT do a delete PLM. Were all your devices installed using ISY linking?

Another option is to use the windows snipping tool which captures your screen and saves it in a .jpg file

Scenes reside in the PLM, restoring the PLM rebuilt your scenes.

When you installed the keypads did you install them one at a time using the ISY link new devices? If so, then try pulling the air gap to remove power from the device, wait a few seconds then push it back in. That sometimes will clear up problems within the keypads.

Welcome to the forum. If you want the Keypad button to control the scene then delete it from the scene and then add it back to the scene as a controller. Then the button will control the scene and will stay lit when the scene is on. The device that you're controlling should also be in the same scene as the Keypad button.

Is it the scenes which are not working?, Which ISY firmware and UI do you have?

It's rare for a failed module to cause powerline problems. I would suggest doing a factory reset on the module, then a restore device from the ISY. Another possibility is the load it's controlling has an issue, especially if it's a CFL.

Naptown Take a look at this troubleshooting link, hopefully this will point you in the right direction http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=INSTEON:_Troubleshooting_Communications_Errors

You've got a communications issue. It's not RF as the IOLinc is power line only. You have two options, either eliminate the power line noise if in fact that's causing your problem or add some dual band devices on the circuit close to the garage IOLinc, assuming that you have other dual band devices installed. This will improve the reliability of your Insteon mesh network. Keep in mind that if your communication to the garage IOLinc is marginal your garage door could experience unwanted activity.
