after getting through the z wave nuances getting set up mine is working with 2 - kwikset 912 door locks jasco/ge on/off module (pilfered from my adt system) range is an issue when i moved the on/off module and now the 2nd lock doesn't work well so i ordered a range extender and z wave motion for a room. however the adt pulse system worked with it further away without an issue. however it appears the zwave on/off is slower to react than the insteon. it is an issue for one of my programs where i have the ezio8 connected to my alarm and when the alarm goes off i have it strobe the whole house on then off then on... every 2 seconds. the house has all led bulbs and it works great you can't even dial a cell phone when it goes off. could it be the range extender might help or mixing insteon and z wave on the isy it isn't quite in sync.

thanks bm2 it worked. is it because it was on another z wave network or will i have to do this with all my zwave going forward

i haven't seen anything on my issue but i can't get the new dongle to find any z wave devices - i got the board yesterday and put it in and installed the module. i took a jasco 4101 z wave switch that i deleted from my adt pulse so it is no longer associated which it did. this was working on the adt pulse i even put it on an extension cord so is only 2 feet from the isy it will not add to the isy and i pushed the button so it should see it. i also tried the z wave lock and that didn't work although i didn't expect it without the initial switch. tried the factory reset and nothing. running 5.0.13A any ideas?

UDI, 994IRPro and the staff are excellent and have helped out with every issue when I have called or emailed. I have a 994 IRPro at 2 houses and use them extensively and rely on it heavily for insteon products My main house uses the 994 to control a fully equipped automated setup ezio - for alarm integration, gas fireplace, voice annunciator, generator status ez flora for irrigation many motion sensors, leak detectors, fan controllers, door modules and remote outlet modules 10 8 button keypads over 30 switches 3 thermostats MI door locks Water shut off auto valve and more. The 994 has always worked well and controls the system flawlessly. Unfortunately the Smarthome insteon system is limited due to quality and life expectancy of the products to the point I have to keep spares for when they go. Modems a little over a year, keypads 18 months. smartenit products 3 years, switches usually better. They sell their own controllers now and I would never trust my brains of the system to those. thanks

I have a Monnessen remote control gas log set up and use one of the low voltage contacts on my ezio sa8 and it works great. the iolinc should do the same thing and using a button off the insteon 8 keypad labeled is perfect for everyone to use. Just remember to program the flame height if yours is adjustable so you have it set for when the switch is used. btw it is against code to mix low and line level voltage sources in the same box. it may not be a problem for you but the next person fooling around with a wire could have a problem.
