Scenes not firing all devices all the time
I would first focus on the low voltage lighting. If the transformer is not hard wired then you may want to try either a filterlinc between the transformer and the line, or substitute the low voltage out for a led or incandescent load to see if that eliminates the problem.

Scenes not firing all devices all the time
chacvhdog, Did you run diagnostics on the devices other than the motion sensor? What type of bulbs are you using in the fixtures? What type of devices are you using, are they dual band?

Replace switch with a new one
The replace has to be a similar device, dimmer switch with a dimmer switch, etc.

Scenes not firing all devices all the time
You either have a combinations issue, I.e. either noise on the powerline or poor signal or you may have some bad links in the devices that are not responding.. Run a diagnostics / compare on the device(s) that are not responding. If all is OK then you should focus on the communication issue. Have you added any new electronics abut the time the problem started. Do you have dual band devices in close proximity to your motion sensors?

If your replacing a switch with the same kind, first link the new switch in the ISY then right click on the old switch and click on "replace...."

Think I may have messed up...
There's a current version of the ISY manual, for 4.3.26, at http://www.universal-devices.com/docs/production/ISY%20User%20Guide%204.2.8.pdf

Think I may have messed up...
The lights indicate that the ISY is unable to communicate with your Ethernet network. Check your cables and try rebooting your router

Write Device Update - Remote Battery Updating
Doesn't the "automatic write to battery operated devices" option in the ISY pro do the same as the write update program?

Took apart a Switchlinc v1.0. How does this even work?
Maybe you should give the Smithsonian a call to see if they want it. They could put it in a display case next to the Wright Brothers plane.

6 Button Dimmer (2334) and Flickering Lights
There are two basically two types of LED bulbs, those with a built in driver and those without a driver. The bulbs with a well designed driver circuit offer better compatibility with various dimmers. The attached file expands on the driver technology. understanding-led-drivers.pdf

Need a resistor to keep LED lights from staying on........
The dual band ON/OFF module does not have a sensing circuit.. I got rid off all my appliance modules (now discontinued) and replaced them with the ON/OFF modules

You could also use the ON/OFF module which has a relay instead of a triac. This would guarantee you an off regardless on the attached load.

You need to clear out your Java Cache including applications, then install the current version of the Administrative Console (4.3.26) for the ISY. You should also remove power from the PLM and the ISY, then power up the PLM, wait about 15 seconds then power up the ISY. Let me know if that helps.

ISY Strange inconsistency!
Put all your lights into one scene Trigger the scene at Sunset +2 minutes eliminate the repeat and the waits and you should be good to go.....
-
ISY Strange inconsistency!
It could be a timing issue. What type of bulbs are you using other than LED's? Can you post a copy of the program you're using to turn on the lights
-
ISY Strange inconsistency!
What type of bulbs are you using, CFL, LED or Incandescent? Some bulbs can create noise, such as CFL's, on the powerline which could interfere with the signals reaching the other devices. You might want to also check the link tables/compare in the devices that you're having a problem with.
