  1. There's really no need for the extra leds. There's only two options, on or off. I doubt they will go back.
  2. What type of loan is the dimmer connected to? If you disconnect the load and watch the dimmer status in the admin console does it still show that the status changes from on to off? Do you have any programs controlling the dimmer that could be in a loop?
  3. They didn't mention how they plan to implement it, just that it was forth coming.
  4. For my lights, I use several scenes, each with different on levels, and call them up with a program. I've not tried your method, so not sure if it's viable. Under scene on levels, the only variable options I have are dates.
  5. For those that didn't listen to the webinar: They mentioned that Insteon will eventually support Matter. You can go onto their store product page and have them email you when an out-of-stock product is available. PLMs, serial and USB will be in stock about March, 2023 and last but not least, they said that they will be coming out with new products next year.
  6. Can you post a copy of your program Is your variable state or integer?
  7. Yes, assuming that the bulb is connected to an Insteon module or a Zwave module. The Polisy cannot control a load directly.
  8. Feit has dimmable vintage bulbs. Here's the link Vintage Light Bulbs for Antique Style Lighting - Feit Electric
  9. The Zmatter board is due to be released on 11/15. A version with more memory and storage may be forth coming after the initial release, but that could change. You can pre-order it here: ZMatter: Z-Wave+ & Matter Module for Polisy (Beta) – Universal Devices (universal-devices.com)
  10. When I run UPDATE PACKAGES, the Polisy appears to be updating, but if I again run the update packages the Polisy again appears to be updating no matter how many times I run the update. PG3 did successfully update to 3.1.12
  11. The ISY doesn't always recognize all the Zwave nodes from a device. What series Zwave dongle do you have? I wouldn't worry about the other nodes. What's the make and model of your smoke detractor as Iwas thinking of moving over to Zwave detectors.
  12. Current firmware is 5.4.4 On the configuration tab there are two update options, BIOS and UPDATE PACKAGES. if the update bios is not greyed out then you first need to update the bios then the packages
  13. Are you using the Insteon Smoke Bridge? The only nodes that really matter are SMOKE DETECTED, CO2 ALARM and LOW BATTERY. I have the Insteon smoke bridge (2982-222), and my nodes are a little different than what you've posted, but basically the same. I'm not sure that the ISY would respond to the nodes other than the ones I've mentioned.
  14. I use Feit bulbs and have no flicker. Which brands have you tried? How many bulbs do you have on one dimmer?
  15. Ask him for an update on product availability, PLMs, etc.
  16. Ken has scheduled another Insteon Zoom call for 11/4. Registration link is below. Space is limited. Webinar Registration - Zoom
  17. Amazon Prime is showing October 28th as a delivery date for a 12 volt 2-amp power supply. The only other source I can think of is All Electronics in Van Nuys. http://www.allelectronics.com They might do an overnight ship. You might also send an email to UD to see if they will ship overnight. I believe they also ship out of Van Nuys. You can also check the Best Buy store in your area Note: UD recommends a 12v, 2 amp supply.
  18. What City are you located in? Do you have access to Amazon Prime?
  19. The IOLincs are single band, powerline only, devices and are not as reliable as dual bank devices. The fact that you have pending writes to the devices means that they are not reliably communicating with the PLM. It's also possible that the garage door opener is creating noise on the powerline that's interfering with the Insteon signal. Take a look at this troubleshooting link. You won't have a reliable system until you resolve the communication issue. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=INSTEON:_Troubleshooting_Communications_Errors I had to put a powerline filter on my garage door opener in order to get my IOLinc to work properly.
  20. Your screenshot show that you have writes pending. Right click on the device and then click on "Write updates" If the KPLs still don't update, then try a factory reset/restore device on the new KPL. It's also possible that the PLM is not able to communicate with the KPL. Let me know what happens after you try the above
  21. The UD store website still shows shipping November 15th.
  22. In order for the dongle to work you need to activate the module via UD If their link isn't working, then send them a support ticket at: support@universal-devices.com
  23. Also try removing power from the isy, wait about 15 seconds, then power up
  24. @Steve L Are your variables state variables? If not change them to State.
