And be careful with long timeouts or no timeout, I burned out one of my openers while learning how to to this and had to replace a part!

Hi, If they are not showing up as red then they are not controllers, in the attached picture KPL.B is the controller of the Cook scene, and KPL.C is the controller of the Dine scene. Also, if you click on the device itself in the left pane it will show what it is a controller for, and what it is a res ponder for.

The relay just signals the opener to move, it doesn't indicate if the door is actually open or closed. The sensor node indicates open/closed status if it is connected to a sensor. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

If you expand the scene in the left pane by selecting the + sign, the controller will be red. Click on that and adjust the levels. This was one nuance I did not realize for a long time. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

So are they now working as you want or is there still the same issue? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Looks like the issue was my wife's oxygen concentrator that was unintentionally plugged into the outlet instead of the power strip right next to it that is on a fliterlinc. The concentrator has some kind of power loss detection & alarm so that must cause issues. That device in the previous log now has hops left=2 almost all the time, with an occasional hops left=1 so I must still have some interference somewhere else. Thanks LeeG for the help!

Thank you for reviewing this. There is nothing new plugged in or anything unplugged that I can find. The only thing I can think of is it has been cold enough here in socal the last few days so the heaters have been running, but they were not running during that test I posted... I rechecked the coupling with the 4 tap test from the PLM to the range extender that is 8 feet away. I'm baffled but will look around some more tomorrow.

Thanks, that makes sense. I haven't had this type of issue before, and can't think of anything different that would have caused things to change. I thought just a query at level 3 would be enough, but here is more and hops left does keep changing.

I guess my ISY knows that Christmas is over because the scene to control my front lights has stopped working I think my communication is good since I have coupled the two sides with the PLM and a range extender and everything on the same circuit as the PLM is on a filterlinc that should be, and filterlincs on others that have caused problems... Everything else is working except when this scene is controlled through the ISY it almost never works, but when changed from the conrolling KPL it works great. The PLM is a new 2413S that was a replacement for my two year old one that was dieing a month or so ago. Here everything is on and I ran a scene off from the admin console which changed all the device status to off, but then queried one of them 1F.1D.28 which reports on. All 3 devices in the scene are OutletLinc 2473 v.42s.

For me, disabling the device stops the ISY from querying them. Also for programs I just create an s.Christmas variable which changes how my programs work when the Christmas lights are all plugged in. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

For control you do need both, for status you do not. This has a good explanation a few posts down http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/4376-wrapping-my-head-around-how-the-isys-else-works/ that post is linked thru the wiki http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:How-To_Guide Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

There have been a lot of posts related to this for foscam. Search for set_alarm.cgi

Sorry I don't know. I leave the tiny door screw out of mine so I can slide off the door without pulling it off the mount until I am completely satisfied with the configuration. And to configure with the ISY one of the default jumpers have to be changed, or you can change the settings by changing other jumpers or adjusting the pots. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

That depends how the MS is configured. Put the MS in linking mode, select it in the ISY admin and select options. Using a MS seems simple, but there are a alot of different ways to control things with them. Search the forum or twiki and you'll see a lot of discussions. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

The adjust scene settings used when the scene is controlled by the ISY are what you have changed in your program above. To change how the controllers affect the scene you have to add adjust scene settings for each controller in that scene. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Go back to post #3. You shouldn't have the control checks in the program, just a program that runs to change the scene settings at the specified times.

I changed one to 2 scene mode, and it only sends a control on for the open (1) when opened and control on for closed (2) when closed. Status never changes to off for either... Guess I have to decide which is more important, seeing the devices in the door open scene, or fast turn on for the light...

Thanks, I'm going to change one of mine and recheck.

Sounds like the hidden sensor works different than a TriggerLinc, when I change the mode they only send an on, never an off. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

I want to do this as well, but I also use the door sensor (triggerlinc not the hidden one) to show the status of doors. I have a scene DoorOpen and all the triggerlincs are in the scene which also has a KPL button as a responder so I can see if a left a sliding door is open. I haven't figured out a way to do both without a program. I don't use this a security system, I know an ELK is the right way to do that, but haven't moved to that yet... That's next on the list after I'm done with all my insteon & z-wave installs...

Right click on the program and select copy to clipboard, then paste into a post so we can see what you have.

Yes, thanks for pointing out that last paragraph! Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

I'm using this http://www.smarthome.com/i-o-linc-insteon-freezer-failure-sensor-kit.html It doesn't monitor temperature, just notifies me if above 39 degrees. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Thanks everyone. Will be buying them today

Mrbudin, thanks I meant to ask that as well, and specifically the Android Mobilinc. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
