Install was a breeze. Everything came back effortlessly.

Thanks for the quick reply Rand!

I have an ISY-26 with no power supply. What is the proper voltage and polarity? I don't want to fry it with the wrong one!

SOLVED! Rand, Thank you so much for your reply. It was spot on. I followed the directions in the link you provided and the download proceeded perfectly! Now all I have to do is figure out how to use it! I'm off to the WIKI now.

I just purchased and tried to install the Network Module and I keep getting the following error message: "[-140000] HTTP client DNS error" What do I do to fix this?

The program status does show False but all conditions are indeed True. I did check the status of both relays (even after a fresh Query) and they were off and the time was correct but, even running 'If' it still shows False. However, if I run 'Then' then the lights come on and the status changes to True. As for the power failure affecting sunset, I did try resaving but that didn't help. I tried disabling and enabling too. I wonder if there is some remnant left of the Sunset bug that was in 2.65?

I have this set up as a program: IF From Sunset - 30 minutes To Sunrise - 30 minutes (next day) And Status 'EZD1.9.Arm Stay' is Off And Status 'EZD2.A.Arm Away' is Off Then Set Scene 'At HomePM' On Wait 7 seconds Set Scene 'At HomePM' On Else Set Scene 'At HomePM' Off The program works - usually. Sometimes it does not and for no apparent reason. Basically, this program turns on a bunch of lights before sunset as long as the alarm is disarmed. If we leave the house the lights go off when the alarm is armed and when we return they come back on till we arm the alarm at bedtime. The program will run fine for days or weeks and then not run properly. The Program Summary will show 'false' when it should be 'true' and I don't know why. I have tried changing the order of the events and using the parenthesis around the time statement and even around the Status stements. All the iterations work - but only for a while. Sooner or later whatever iteration I'm using will stop working until I change the order yet again. To whatever extent it may make a difference, we did have a 1 hour power outage around lunchtime today. Any ideas on how to make this more reliable are welcome.

Well at least you won't have too long to wait. They are accepting pre-orders now and expect to be shipping in 2 more weeks. http://www.smarthome.com/2420M/INSTEON- ... 20M/p.aspx

I would suggest replacing the 2476D with a 2476S. The S version is a relay switch and acts like the basic switch you replaced. It should allow you to regain the control you've lost by using a dimmer which is not appropriate for controlling the motion detector.

Thanks, that's exactly the information I was looking for. My upgrade order will be forthcoming. I don't want to be left in the dust later on!

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question but here goes: I understand the differences in the capabilities of the ISY 26 vs. the 99 and its various flavors and I know that updates have been available for both keeping their functionality on par. My question is this: Will there a come a time when the two products will meet a fork in the road and only the 99's will continue to move forward? IOW, is there a prevailing reason for one to upgrade to the 99?

You actually don't have to press anything on the switch if you have the 6 digit code from the sticker. Just open "New Insteon Device" type in the code (i.e. 0b.66.3a) and let the ISY go find it and all the links. No running back and forth!

If you don't already have a pair of Access Points then it will make a big difference. Be sure to follow the installation instructions carefully to ensure that one ends up on each leg. Insteon specs require at least two access points, one on each leg, as a minimum configuration to support operation. They are included in the Starter Kits if you bought one of those.

Take the wallplate off and look at the switch. You will see the switch's address on a sticker (you don't have to remove the switch). It will look like xx.xx.xx. Copy it down and go back to your PC and click Link Manangement and then New Insteon Device and then enter the address you copied off the swith and see if that works. It's a good idea to keep an inventory sheet of the addresses and locations of all your devices. it will save a lot of running around to verify what's what and saves the hassle of having to do the manual linking.
