We've all been there. Not to worry, it only gets better!

I had a similar problem. I removed the SD card and cleaned the contacts with a SOFT rubber eraser, put it back in and its been behaving nicely every since.

The newer models are only two prong. If you don't need a dimmer you could use the three prong on/off module

Did you put the MS into linking mode before you tried the write? All battery operated devices go into sleep mode to prolong battery. The set button must be pressed for about 4 seconds to put the device into linking mode in order to do a write

Is jumper #5 on the MS installed to allow remote software management?

You need to do a RESTORE PLM. That will populate the PLM with your data, including scenes, stored in the ISY. NEVER do a delete PLM from the ISY. When you create scenes they are stored in the PLM not the ISY. The ISY issues a scene on/off command and the PLM uses the data stored in the PLM to turn on/off the devices within a scene, this way the ISY only issues one command to the scene rather than numerous commands to all the devices. Its a much more efficient way to control numerous devices at the same time. Any time you make changes to the ISY it's always good idea to do a ISY backup. If you unplug both the ISY and your PLM nothing will work. If just the PLM is plugged in then the scenes stored in the ISY will work.

You're correct. I always thought any change in the "IF" statement would restart the program.

Based on the number of devices and scenes It sounds like Rob has some old extraneous data in his PLM. A restore PLM should clean it up.

But if the "IF" statement is no longer true, i.e. a condition in the statement changes, then the program gets reevaluated,

I'm running 4.3.1 and have the option button on my 2477D ver 44. Maybe rlanza1054 needs to do a factory reset and re-install on the device

If they're are no ! or no 1101 to the left off the device names in your device tree then you're probably OK. You can always run a link table diagnostics and then a compare for a device if you think you may have an issue with a particular device. If errors show up then do a restore device to correct them. I've also had error messages come and go when doing a restore but all seemed to be OK.

If you have any battery operated devices they need to be put into linking mode, one device at a time, then do a restore device. Battery operated devices sleep until put into the linking mode in order to save battery life. Take a look at your devices to see if you have any 1101 next to the device name which indicates that it needs to be written to.

From the screen shot It looks like HamWeather may be the problem

and after trying a "write changes" the 1101 still exists then you have a communication problem between the PLM and the Device.

I've had KPL's do strange things after power failures. What seems to work best for me is to do a factory reset on the KPL then a restore device.

Did you remove power from both the modem and the ISY, then restore power to the modem, wait about 10 seconds restore power to the ISY and then do a restore modem?

Take a look at the ISY log, next time it happens, to see if the door sensor is sending more than one open signal. If so you could have an intermittent issue with the switch in the sensor.

A scene can only be turned on or off. The on level and ramp rates for the devices within the scene need to be set for each device after they are added to a scene.

PS: On an additional subject, I have the following in a Customization Notification "Notify test". The messages sent do not contain CR/LF and the text is received as: Temperature is 89 FHumidity is 43 %21:11:07Larry Pollis:larrypollis@icloud.comOn I have tried Text, HTML and XML (and for XML I get an attached file with an .XML extension as I would expect.) How can I include the CR/LF? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use HTML and put <BR> where you want a LF/CR

Pmwill If the green led on the PLM is not lit then for sure it has failed (assuming that your PLM has the green led.)

Ipollis You might want to take a look at your ISY error log to see if you have any email related errors.

I don't have first hand experience with these bulbs but when I took a look at the specs it didn't mention that they were dimmable. The 2477D is a dimmer so there may be a compatibility issue between the bulb and the switch. If that's the case you may want to try a 2477S.

Whose LED bulbs are you using?

Make sure you only have one wireless device at a time in the linking mode. The motion sensors need to be opened up and the button pressed in order to get them into linking mode.

Make sure that you don't have a computer or any electronic devices plugged in close to where the PLM is as they can interfere with power line signals coming and going to the PLM. Did unplugging the Monster power strip make a difference?
