  1. Hello Intellihome, After trying numerous led bulbs I found the CREE A19 led bulbs, which are sold at Home Depot stores and online, to work very well with the Insteon products. I'm able to dim them all the way down and up without any flicker or noise. They're currently available in 40w, 60w, and 100w equivalent. They come in both 2700k (soft white) and 5000k (bright white) color temperatures. The 2700k is most comparable to the color temperature of an incandescent bulb.
  2. I'm not familiar with the Honeywell panel but if you have a dry contact N/O and a Common lead coming from the panel and if the N/O contact closes when the panel is armed then all you need to do is hook up those two leads to the Sensor and Ground contacts on the I/O Linc.
  3. There's a documented issue with 4.2.2 and/or Java that causes the admin console to freeze up under certain conditions. This may be what's causing your issues. UDI said they will have a fix included in the next beta release.

    I would like to change the state of an On/Off module each time an I/O Linc receives a momentary signal on the sensor input. Not sure the best way to proceed. UPDATE - think I figured it out. I set a state variable to change each time the sensor input receives a signal.

    I've been seeing several 10011 messages in my error log lately. What triggers this error? 10011 - RSA REIMPORT KEYS FAILED
  6. It's possible that one of your CFL's has a bad ballast which would manifest itself after the CFL has been turned on and could interfere with the Insteon off command.
  7. I have numerous LED's, all dimmable, that I purchased at Costco and have had no issues with them, but I have had problems with CFL's generating noise on the powerline.
  8. I recently installed a Grace GDI-IRDT200 internet radio tuner into my home audio system and would like to control it via my ISY 994. They supposedly have an open API and was I wondering if anyone has the code or knows where I could find it. Thank you.

    The following is from the UDI Wiki page. Hope this helps Reset Userid/Password to admin/admin 1. Use a sharp object to push in the Reset Button till the RX, TX, Mem, Error lights start blinking (every second) 2. Hold for 5 seconds till the RX, TX, Mem, Error lights turn on/off consecutively (RX -> Tx -> Mem -> Error) 3. Release

    It would be that the circuit with the Insteon switch is improperly wired. The theory is that when the 3-way is switched there would be a momentary break in continuity, causing a voltage drop, to the circuit with the Insteon device. The problem could be worse at night when more lights, etc. are on causing more of a voltage drop at the Insteon switch which could explain why the problem is intermittent. If that isn't the culprit you might want to think about selling the house.

    Les, I think the circuit with the Insteon switch might somehow be in series with the offending 3-way switch as most of the other possibilities have been eliminated. If you disconnect the wires from the 3-way and the Insteon switch still works then that wouldn't be the case. If the Insteon switch fails to work with the wires disconnected then the circuit was incorrectly wired. You can remove any two of the three wires which will essentially remove the switch from the circuit.
  12. Techman replied to ABLE1's topic in ISY994
    It sure sounds like the wiring for the offending 3-way switch could be the issue. either a bad connection or incorrectly wired. Have you tried removing at least 2 of the 3 wires on the offending 3-way switch, then checked to see if the Insteon light still works? This would eliminate the possibility of incorrect wiring. When the 3-way switch is tripped you could be getting a momentary voltage interruption in the Insteon circuit which may not register on the analog meter.

  14. I had a similar problem. First try doing a factory default reset on the KPL as that usually will correct the problem. If that doesn't fix it then you most likely have a bad KPL. I think you'll need to disable the KPL in the ISY before the reset, then after the reset do a restore device.
  15. Glad to hear you're back in business Out of curiosity, what was connected to the senor input that was causing the problem?
  16. Defiantly sounds like an issue with whatever is connected to your sensor input Are you sure you're connected to the Ground and Senor inputs What are you using to trigger the sensor input, a switch, or?
  17. Does the status light on the IOLinc come on when it's triggered? If you manually trigger the IO Linc does your program run?. If not you may have a communication issue. Check the status of the IOLinc in your ISY to see if it shows a change in status when triggered. Is "Alarm in sensor" referencing the IO SENSOR or the IO RELAY? If you manually run the THEN clause in your program does the light come on?
  18. The status of the IOLinc probably changes before the THEN clause can fully execute. Try changing the FADE UP command to ON. If it works with the ON command then you should have the IOLinc call a separate program that runs your FADE UP command In your current program I believe The FADE UP will only execute as long as the IOLINC remains triggered

    Make sure that the off time is 8:00am (next day)

    I have several of the new on/off modules. I just tested one using an led bulb that draws 1.7 watts. There was no indication of any voltage going to the bulb when the module was switched off. I think the new modules are using a relay rather than a solid state device to control the output.
  22. Techman replied to Goose66's topic in ISY994
    The new on/off modules don't have the load sensing feature that the older appliance modules have so the current leakage issue should be non-existent.

    Kingwr, have you taken a look at the new on/off modules http://www.smarthome.com/2635-222/INSTE ... ule/p.aspx These don't have the current leakage issue that the appliance modules have and they're dual band. They just started shipping them last week.
  24. Jpoje, you may want to take a look at this: http://www.smarthome.com/2843-222/INSTE ... sor/p.aspx I don't think it's waterproof but you may be able to adapt it.
  25. Probably the easiest way to interface the status of your garage door to the ISY is to use this: http://www.smarthome.com/74551/I-O-Linc ... Kit/p.aspx You can then set up an ISY email notification to inform you when the garage doors opens and/or closes including the event time.
