Here's the replace PLM procedure Replace ISY PLM.pdf

Add a second Aeon siren or range extender in the workshop. The door locks have limited range.

That could be the root of your problem. Did the keypad that failed have the load connected to it, if so what type of load is it? It's also possible that you have some type of interference on the circuit that the problem keypad is on. I would also try another factory reset / restore device before you replace it. You should also take a look at this article https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=INSTEON:_Troubleshooting_Communications_Errors

If they show as red then they're controllers. Make sure that in your scene both of the buttons that control your light have their on level set at 100%, or the on level you want. In theory should work as expected. It's possible that the links in the keypad got corrupted. Try doing a restore device for each keypad. If that doesn't work then do a factory reset on each keypad then a restore device. Let me know if that resolved the problem.

Apparently the scenes still are enabled when the keypad is disabled, I thought otherwise. . All the links for the scenes are stores in the devices themselves. I guess your only other option is to pull out the air gap switch on the keypad as there's no way to disable a scene.

All the keypad buttons need to be in the scene as Controllers. Once they're in the scene you can set the ON level and RAMP rate for each button in the scene. If you installed the button(s) as Responders then you'll need to remove them from the scene and add them back as controllers.

Both switches need to be in the scene as Controllers. Remove the switch from the scene that's a responder then add it back as a controller. The load wire on the switch that's not connected to the light should be capped off.

Depending on the distance between your house and the workshop you might be able to couple the two via RF using two range extenders, or plug in dual band modules, one in each location. Mount them as high up as possible and as close as possible to one another. The easiest way to find out if it will work is to give it a try

If you right click on a device and then click on delete it will remove all the device's links in both the ISY and the PLM, as if the device never existed. If the device is in a folder you have to remove the device from a folder before deleting it. If you have any programs or scenes that included the device then the device will also be removed from them as well. If you want to reinstall the device it's best to do a factory reset before again linking it to the ISY

The error message is a Driver error. Not sure what would cause this error. You might try uninstalling it from the ISY, do a factory reset again, then try to reinstall it. It's possible the device failed. What's the 4 digit date code and version number on the device sticker?

The green led shows the status of the device, i.e. on or off The IOLincs are powerline only devices. If you have interference on the powerline it could affect the ability to communicate. As PaulBates suggested do a factory reset and restore device. If that doesn't work then try locating the IOLinc close to a dual band device for test purposes. Lastly, there's always the remote possibility that the IOLinc took a trip South.

Yes, right click on the device in the device tree and click on Disable or in a program you can do the following: IF Then (device name) Disable Else The program's "then clause" can be called by a timer, or the push of a button on another KPL, etc.

Do a factory reset on the switch with the load, then a restore device.

The hidden door sensor ships with a spacer (shim) that you can place behind the sensor thus moving the sensor closer to the door. That will help close the gap between the edge of the door and the sensor.

How are you trying to delete the scene? What devices are in the scene? Did you right click on the scene then click delete?

Looks like they changed the name. It appears to be backordered https://www.smarthome.com/synchrolinc-insteon-2423a5-power-synching-controller.html

You could write a program. This might work. If Status kitchen light is not 60% Then turn off keypad button

It's their annual Memorial Day sale, enjoy the discount. . The items that are out of stock usually show backordered. The Synchrolinc is nowhere to be found, it's possible they dropped it from their line if it wasn't selling. I was told that the new owner is focusing on the Insteon Hub and the iPhone / Android apps.

Not that I know of. You can run a Topology report which will show what devices are in a scene but not programs that are associated with the scene.

Take a look at this http://cache-m2.smarthome.com/manuals/2401al6%20manual.pdf. What you want to do may not be possible as the underlying frame may not support the large buttons in the middle rows

If you put the large button covers over a pair of button on the keypad you could then write a program to do whatever if either of the two buttons under the large cover were pressed. You still might have to modify the framework under the buttons.

Welcome to the forum. The Insteon keypads are sold as either 6 button or 8 button. Smarthome sells kits that can convert an 8 to a 6 and a 6 to a 8. In addition to the buttons the kits include underlying framework. In addition to the physical modifications the keypads need to be programmed to reflect the change. The info is included in the keypad manual.

7.2 is the device hardware version v.44 is the device firmware version "Cannot determine Insteon engine" usually means a communication problem between the PLM and the device. It's possible that there was some interference on the powerline when you tried to add the device being that you were able to add another device at the same location. Are you sure you did a complete factory reset, i.e. pulling out the set tab, the pushing it un until the device emits a tone, and continuing to holding it in until the tone stops.

It's possible that the door isn't fully depressing the sensor switch. You may have to put shims behind the switch.
