Tres bien. Merci.

Okay. That worked. Thank you. I was overthinking it by making one element a Responder. At the risk of asking too many questions... why does this work with no Responder in the scence?

Having had to rebuild from scratch my home network I am looking for something more basic than the ISY backup utility. (My one and only ISY failure was so complete that the backup was unusable.) Is there a way to print or dump all the programs and scene configurations? At worst I could capture screen shots of each config page. Please someone tell me there's a better way. Dwayne

Hello. New and learning. Be kind... I have an In-LineLinc relay that is part of a motion sensor. The motion sensor is connected to the 'sense' wire on the In-LineLinc module. I also have a six-button KeyPadLinc. What I am hoping to do is: Have the In-LineLinc operate it attached lights whenever motion is detected. (out of the box operation) When motion is detected and the lights go on button 'C' on the keypad will light. When the motion sensor times out and turns off the lights button 'C' on the keypad will go out. Pressing button 'C' on the keypad will cause the lights connected to the In-LineLinc to come on and stay on regardless of detected motion. (I think this is 'ignore the sense line') The light on button 'C' should stay on. Pressing button 'C' again will cause the motion sensor to return to normal operation as described in 1, 2 and 3 above. I've tried creating a scene to link the In-LineLinc to the KP but got no predictable results. (Detailed) help please. Dwayne A

Okay good, you've confirmed what I was thoguht I knew. My main quesition was about using If Control 'Mx_Ver.Sensor' is switched On to read the motion detector operating in sensor mode. Your response tells me this test is okay. My next question was about using the devices pane to monitor a motion detector operating in sensor mode. Your lack of a response to that question tells me it cannot be done. Fine. My diagnostic code also seems to work. Control of $VerState is what takes care of the remainder of the issues you identified and is not discussed in this post. Again fine. You all have a good night. Dwayne A

Hey great, thank you. What I've done in ISY to use this is: If $VerState is 1 And ( Control 'Mx_Drive.Sensor' is switched On Or Control 'Mx_Ver.Sensor' is switched On Or Control 'KP_VerLite.LD' is switched On ) Then Set 'KP_VerLite.LD' On Wait 45 seconds Set 'KP_VerLite.LD' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') It seems to work the way I intended in that motion on any sensor will reset the timer. I have noted though that I cannot monitor the motion sensors in the devices pane. Instead I've created little diagnostic programs to see that the sensors are actually functioning and communicating. If Control 'Mx_Drive.Sensor' is switched On Then $MxDrive = 9 Wait 5 seconds $MxDrive = 0 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Am I doing something in a way that will cause grief later on? Thanks again for your help. Dwayne A

Okay, so occupancy mode is what I am interested in. How do I use it in the ISY99?

Thanks for the reply. Uh, what is 'Occupancy Mode'? Dwayne A

Hello, [New to ISY and Insteon. Reading and learning. Thanks for all you've shared so-far.] My question regards motion detectors. I am using several 2842 detectors to trigger outdoor lights. I want to use 'on-only' so that any motion in front of a detector will reset the WAIT timer for the lights. However, when I set jumper 4 to 'on-only' there's never a change back to OFF. I monitor the SENSOR status and it stays ON forever. I tried settting it back to OFF under program control but it doesn't seem to stick. What do I need to do in ISY99 programming to make use of the 2842 'on-only' mode? Thanks in advance for your help. Dwayne A
