So I thought I followed the instruction to hook up the kit. Although the instructions are really lacking. My garage door opener had two ir sensor inputs (+ and - each) and a + and - that goes to the button on the wall. I assume I tie in with the button on the wall. Set up the magnets and all that good stuff. Now to the ISY, I add the address off the back of the unit, and ISY knows it's a garage door link. But says it can not communicate with the device. Which is strange I have like 25 dual band devices, and the closest is like 5 feet maybe (receptacle in bonus room above the garage). I feel like I must be missing something? Thanks for any help.

Thanks This info wasn't in the printed documentation that came with my t-stat. Didn't even think that the online one would have it. I changed this info (there was a 7 degree offset already that I just had to remove) And after closing out of my isy admin and going back in, it still reports the old temp, and no the new one. And it is still in F. With the programming, I mean like set the temp to lower x amount at y time on z day.

For the record, a metal box is not required by the Canadian Electrical Code. Nor is it required in any local amendments that I know about. You hardly ever see the plastic boxes used because they are double the cost of the metal and really save no time.

I have a 2441TH thermostat and while I have several questions on it, my main one is can I calibrate it? It shows that it is 66F in my house right now. And I am on the warm side in a t-shirt. And to show how far off it is, the girlfriend is comfortable in a t-shirt at this temp. But more scientific, my old t stat (running off battery) shows it to be 72, and a stand alone temp thing says it is 73. So at best I would say it is 6 degrees out, 7 at worst. Also can I make this thing show me the temp in C? Also, can I program it from my ISY994? Thanks

I'd like to be able to monitor the watts used, even just a whole house number, although splitting to each circuit would be nice. Is there anything that allows this to be an option? Thanks,

I'm not sure where My Lighting is? But all the other screens have the 2s ramp rate. Doing this everything works as it should. Even when I push the physical on or off with the virtual switch the leds on the switch ramp over the 2s, but the actual lights turn on or off fast. It's just the virtual switch, I wonder if it is a bad switch?

Great idea's in this thread. But as of right now I feel like I am reading a foreign language.

There are 3 screens I can see each of the two switches on, the ISY main listing, the scene itself, and the device in the scene. All those screens have 2 second ramp for both switches. I can not find anywhere that doesn't have 2s ramp set.

Ok, I made them both red and things are working a bit better now. The LED's on both switches ramp together. Both switched can turn the lights on and off. But the load switch is the only one that ramps. The virtural switch just turns the lights on fast, although the leds on the switch move at the slower ramp speed. I did the apply changes to all devices, and then copied scene attributes. Under the scene and under the main ISY listing on the left both switches have the 2s ramp rate showing. Both switches can dim the lights (was making sure they were dimmers) I think I get the controller/responder thing now at least. But not sure why the dummy switch won't ramp.

Ok, I did the factory reset and added them back in. When I added them in the ISY put them into a default scene, and this scene for the most part makes the 3 way, as in they both can turn the lights on and off. Switch1 works like it should. Turn it on or off and it ramps over the 2 seconds, the led's only move on switch1. Switch2 can turn the lights on and off, but doesn't ramp. And while turning the lights on and off both switches leds move like they should. The led's go slow like it should be ramping too. In all screens I have ramp rate set (scene and individual switches)

The wiring was my first thought, but seems to be OK by virtue of report that both switches never lose their LED's. I believe the OP is an electrician from another post he put up, so I suspect that he understood the wiring diagram and knew what is what. So, I would re-iterate that the quickest and simplest thing to do at this point is delete the switches from ISY, factory reset them, re-add them to ISY, then rebuild the scene with both as controllers. This will rule out any half links with less work than doing a links table analysis. Yes I am an Electrician (going on 7 years). I opened it up to make sure I didn't do something silly. Switch2 was a dead ended 3way, meaning just the 3 wire into the box. I have a feeling that I am making the scene wrong. It visually looks the same as what Lee posted. I create the scene, link management --> new scene. Then I drag the two devices into the scene, when the new window comes asking me what I want to do, I click controller for both.

I have 9 other switches that work great. But this is my first 3 way attempt. They are controlling five 9w LED potlights. They are both dual band smarthome insteon dimmers, part number 2477D

Ok, managed to delete and then re-add. But now Switch2 won't even turn it off. I must be making the scene wrong.

Switch1 is the load. Trying to delete the scene but my isy is not really responding. I can say to delete it, and it asks me if I am sure. But it's not actually deleting it. And when I close out and reopen a window opens "Insteon Finder" and has an IP address.
