Expensive but I am using http://www.smarthome.com/50810/I-O-Linc-INSTEON-Remote-Chime-Alert-Kit/p.aspx with 2 additional plug in chime modules http://www.smarthome.com/5081R/Extra-Chime-Module-for-Plug-In-Extend-A-Chime/p.aspx for different parts of the house. The chime modules are not very loud, thus 3 of them for a 3K sq ft house. You can also select from several different sounds. I had this set to chime anytime a door is opened by adding it to a scene with all the open/close sensors but recently changed it from a scene to a program so I could disable the chiming by pressing a KPL button.

Got it, so me sending an "On" via ISY will always trigger the relay, that explains why I was seeing this behavior which contradicts the IOLinc manual. I also found that the version of the firmware I had 3.2.6 has a bug with setting IOLinc so I just upgraded it to 3.3.6 and confirmed momentaryC and Trigger Reverse are set. It appears the KPL LED does switch when opening and closing the door via ISY after adding the sensor and kpl button to a scene. I can also confirm the LED on the IOLinc does reliably change with open and close of the door. I will test a bit more but now I just need to programs to monitor staus and always make sure the LED is correct. On a related note is there a way to tell the ISY to say run a query every 15 minutes? I cant not seem to find a way to execute a program on a schedule like that. Thanks!

So this is a very simple task....or so I thought. I basically just want the d button on a KPL to show me the current status of my garage door. I do not want to control the door with the KPL to avoid accidental opening. I have read many Garage door status related threads but can not get this to work reliably. I would be very grateful for help with my specific to my situation. Basically if the door is open then the KPL.D should be lit, if its closed it should be off. If the door is opened and closed using the car opener or opener on the garage I need to be able to update the LED, sensor updates do not seem to be sent in this case. If the KPL button is pushed the LED should just go back to the current garage door state. So if someone pushes it and its on I would like it to query and turn it self back on if the sensor still shows the door is open. If the door is closed the LED should wind up off. I have the new 74551 kit. I have the I/OLinc set to Momentary C currenlty as shown in the docs. However ON commands from ISY seem to respond regardless of status. When the door is closed the LED on IOLinc is on and the status reads as ON when queried in ISY994. I have a scene for Garage_Status currnely containing the KPL button and the Garage_Door_Sensor. Thanks in advance for any insight. I dont know why this is stumping me, I have been using insteon stuff for years but just started using an ISY.
