Yes it is. I can buy with confidence knowing what I am getting myself into. I don't have to do alot of programming just to get basic features that comes with every device.

Your argument is so weak that it really doesn't deserve a response. My Zwave issues arent about new features that's added due to development such as your case of I1 vs I2CS. That goes with any technology. In the end, new devices can still be used with older devices for both protocols. What IS messed up is the fact that devices within any single generation will have different capabilities in how they communicate. Even now, with what this posting is about, the poster has a zwave plus device that he expected to have certain capabilities due to the certification and it doesn't. Your dual band/non dual band is weak as well. Unless you want to include discontinued models the only non dual band devices are battery powered (a person would need to be an idiot to think it was dual band) and the IOLINC. Which states clearly on its product webpage that it is Powerline only. If a person buys without reading then that's on them. Same thing with peek and poke. First off, that's a feature for developers and something the avg user would not care nor know about. The fact that it was removed in I2CS also limits your argument unless you are trying to include discontinued devices in your argument.

How about creating a folder that allows your motion program to run only when the light is off.

There's no lawsuit from using a deprecated feature. This is especially true since those devices were out before the feature was dropped. Since the lutron patent ended, it would behoove leviton (and others) to change how their devices work but that does take time and it is still their choice whether or not to embark on that. While smartthings and UDI may not use hail, other controllers do so the products can be used. With all that said, this is my biggest gripe about zwave. It's too fractured. Regardless of what generation, manufacturers still get to pick and choose what they support leading to a confused end user.

I have a couple of the 2844 motion sensors for testing and they work fine for what I would do for them. Their full feature set is not supported with the ISY at this time. For personal use, I use the fibaro motion sensors and they work great

Where did you find the price of the insteon motion sensors? Smarthome sells it for 40 bucks. I prefer fibaro motion sensors. It works really great with the ISY and is very small. You can generally find it on smarthome or Amazon for about 52 dollars.

If all you're trying to do is simply turn the lights on and off based on a schedule you would do the following If time is 430pm to 11pm Then set Christmas tree on Or else set Christmas tree off

Make a test program that lasts for a minute or 2 to see if it works. Maybe there is something on the circuit itself

Change the connected load to a different type of bulb if possible.

With it being an older device like it is, I would say swap it as well. You're probably going to spend more time than it's worth troubleshooting it

All of that is possible. It's just up to you to program it to happen that way. I've included 2 quick examples. There are multiple ways to set them up. Both can be done with variables. You could also drop them in a folder that only runs when the status of a kpl button (whatever you choose) is on. With that said, depending on your home, there are alot more variables involved which means tinking and dialing in whatever methods best suits you Basic random program If time is from 3pm to 8pm Wait 15min (check random box) Turn light on Or else turn off Device follows each other If time is 11pm Wait 10min. (Check random box) Turn off scene A Wait 30sec (check random box if desired) Turn off scene B Wait 30sec (check random box if desired) turn off Scene C

Reading your symptoms amd the fact that there are 19 with the same exact issue leads me to believe that they are set to be off. (Double tap works and turning on turns them off). Delete them from the ISY, factory reset omce more and then re-add them. This way they are being added with a clean slate. Then you can set the on levels as well as ramp rate.

I'm with Oberkc. The fact that the lights turn on makes me think there is something interfering with communication; especially since everything else is working. What kind of bulb are you using in that particular location? You could also trying turning that particular device on/off by itself to see if it works outside of the scene

If you have all devices prior to the install, you can add them to the ISY beforehand and then take it to the location for the installation. That is how I handle mine. This allows me to factory reset devices and verify they are working before installing them. By verifying, should there be issues, I'm not troubleshooting a defective device thus saving time

How did you perform the factory reset on your modules? Anytime I hear about multiple devices with the same exact issues leads me to believe that there is something external causing issues rather than the device itself. The fact that they are responding to the fast on command shows that the lamplimcs are working. It sounds like something possibly made them revert to 0% (or off) when turned on (since they come on with fast on). While me asking about the reset may sound trivial many times a reset has been done improperly which means the issue still exists. When doing the reset, make sure the buzzing stops before letting go out the set button.

It doesn't automatically alert to cycles being done. You can ask for that info but it won't do it on its own. The Samsung app also shows it being finished. I wouldnt mind that feature as its proactive instead of reactive. It's a new feature. Maybe in time things like that will be integrated

I've used insteon for many years (even early 2476 models). Though all of my devices are newer for the most part, even back then the DBL tap worked as a fast on.

I think it's more of a "look at what I can do" gimmick. Just don't see a real need for it to be honest. I do like the washer on top though. That's the only good part about it

You can start them, pause the dryer, check what mode they are in and status.

Duplicate post. Responded to your other post.

The schlage sense is Bluetooth enabled not zwave. You would not be able to use it with the ISY. Schlage does sell a wifi adapter for 80 bucks that would allow you to lock your door with Alex (but not unlock) You can find more info out on their website.

I like that idea.

You would still need the ISY zwave module should you get the smartthings hub. Even if it takes time to build your zwave network, you'll be in better position waiting and saving rather than taking the cheapest route. You're better off investing the money you would use getting the smartthings into having the proper zwave devices to run your system the way you would like.

Id continue to use insteon since you've already invested a great deal into them. Where they are weak, I would recommend using zwave in its place. That is the route that I took. I use zwave sensors over insteon's and zwave outlets to provide the repeating that is needed. I personally love Insteon switches. The look and feel of them are much much better than I have seen from any zwave device to date. When it comes to sensors however, zwave has insteon beat by a long shot.

It was cool for me when I first used it but I never adjusted. My girl still uses the app but I manually turn on the shower since I constantly forget about the app
