  1. A green flag indicates that there are pending writes to the device. Either you have a communications problem or the device may need to be factory reset in order to clean up its memory, then do a restore device.
  2. It's operating as it's supposed to. If you want to control all the devices in a scene then you need to turn the scene on/off.
  3. It's possible that the non volatile memory in the devices got corrupted. I've had this happen on several occasions when we've had a power line glitch. Do a restore device which will rewrite the device links with the data that's stored in the ISY
  4. I had several MS that I believe were firmware version .41. When the batteries were low they started sending continuous on commands, but no low battery signal. I've since replaced them with firmware version .44. I'm using lithium batteries which seem to last about 2 years (in mild climate) so it's too early to tell if the current firmware fixed the low battery problem.
  5. What's the date code and version of your PLM? If it's more than 2 years old then there's a good possibility that it's starting fail due to bad capacitors. Run diagnostics, show PLM links table. If the PLM link count is unusually low then most likely the PLM is failing.
  6. Techman replied to diggler's topic in ISY994
    The current versions have updated hardware and firmware. I recently replaced some older KPL's, so far so good. No problems.
  7. Techman replied to diggler's topic in ISY994
    This KPL was manufactured the 33rd week of 2009. I's probably best to replace it.
  8. Techman replied to diggler's topic in ISY994
    Assuming you have a good electrical connection to the KPL, try a factory reset, restore device. What's the hardware and date code on the KPL?
  9. You need the 2413S. the U version is USB. The power supplies in the PLM with your date code have a history of failing after about 2 years. Your unit was built the 29th week of 2013. The current PLM's have improved power supplies and updated firmware You can try a restore modem which may buy you some time but you really should replace the unit.
  10. rick, run a diagnostics / compare on the modules that aren't turning off. If the results show a link mismatch then do a device restore on that module. It's also possible that once the modules are on one of the loads is creating noise on the power line preventing the module from turning off.
  11. Check the time statement in your IF line if should have a "FROM" Your switchlinc should be a controller in your scene. Make sure you have the on levels and ramp rates set for your devices in the scene. Night Ramp Rate Program: If FROM 10pm to Sunrise (next day) Then In Scene MS-Sensor Set Switchlinc 30% (On Level) In Scene MS-Sensor Set Switchlinc 4.5 Sec (Ramp Rate)
  12. That's correct. Add the new device first, then right click on the old device and do a replace with.... The "replace with" command will show all compatible installed devices that can be used as a replacement.
  13. Andy, The problem could be that the devices are manually linked directly with one another and not through the ISY. They should be factory reset then each linked via the ISY link management.
  14. 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.
  15. 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?
  16. The replace has to be a similar device, dimmer switch with a dimmer switch, etc.
  17. 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?
  18. 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...."
  19. 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
  20. The lights indicate that the ISY is unable to communicate with your Ethernet network. Check your cables and try rebooting your router
  21. Which lights are on / blinking on the ISY
  22. Doesn't the "automatic write to battery operated devices" option in the ISY pro do the same as the write update program?
  23. 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.
  24. 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
  25. Is this what you're looking for? ISY Program execution order.pdf
