Looks like you're having issues communicating with that kpl. I'd troubleshoot first to ensure communication is good. Next, I'd add a few seconds delay between each line to give time for the commands to process

Overheating may cause devices to fail but would not cause any signal degradation. Especially since each module would still be repeating the signal. With X10 they would degrade since they do not repeat but the insteon signal itself gets repeated so any potential degradation would be a wash. In addition to that, he said plugged into the same outlet not necessarily stacked on top of each other. I used a plug in module stacked on top of an iolinc as an example of Insteon being in close proximity to one another not causing issues (in addition to switches in the same box). Insteons own test stations often have setups on their carts where modules were either stacked or combined in some way. While anything is possible, I highly doubt proximity would case an issue.

It wouldn't . If that was the case, people would have issues when they put range extenders on top of iolincs or switches side by side in the box

I doubt 2 plms together would cause any issues since the one being used would be processing any commands at any given moment. If anything, i could see the software's causing conflict since both can run commands concurrently causing collisions. With him using the Isy, I would take @MrBilladvice, get rid of houselinc, and move everything to the Isy

Post your programs. Also firmware and UI of your Isy

The process has changed. That's the new process. Creating a portal account is free, quick and simple

You'd need to upgrade your Isy firmware to 5.0.16c to use that device. Make sure you read the full instructions should you decide to upgrade before starting to avoid any issues

No there is not. Zwave doesn't work like that. Even if there was, you'd be spending more time trying to avoid the issue than it would take making a back up and restoring

They have an ID and qr code that can be scanned

There's a whole debate/discussion on another thread about this and the path they are taking at this time. It's not a lack of brains but a decision to take a different path

You will have to use their hub. I explained in an earlier post what happens with the Isy

I don't think he realizes it's more of a licensing thing than actual ownership

Who says they can? Additionally, larger companies typically have more buying power than smaller companies. It's why you'll see Amazon carrying stuff that your local dealer may not be able to get right now.

Post pictures of your programming. No one can tell you definitively with so little information.

None of them are supported by the Isy. While they will add as an unsupported device, you will not receive device status from them or change modes ie: the dimmer will not be able to become a relay and the relay will not be able to become a dimmer. You can send basic commands from the Isy but that would be it. Your suspicion would be incorrect. UDI has already stated their stance in regards to these devices and no, they will not be supporting them AT ALL without full documentation and support from smartlabs which will not happen anytime soon. There is a much bigger divide between these devices and standard insteon devices than you realize. The only similarity between these and standard devices is how they communicate. UDI could reverse engineer the protocol for basic support. However without the API and access to insteon servers, most of the differentiating features would be left out

I think syntax. Wanting to say open or close instead of on/off

No. At least not in the near future

Is your portal account still active? If you haven't changed anything then i suspect a bug with Amazon.

The PLM would have nothing to do with his leak detectors reporting false status. Especially in absence of poor communication

I've never seen that happen like that. If replace the batteries factory reset then, and restore then into your isy

Ditto for me too. I've found the more complicated you make things, the less efficient things become which makes automation an inconvenience. With all the variables the op wants, real world use will cause more problems than it solves

Remove from the Isy, factory reset, and then manually turn on. If they don't turn off, re-add them to the isy, turn them on from the Isy, and see if they turn off.

Can you log into your isy

I'd cut up an extension cord and make a pigtail out of it for hot/neutral. Connect the Kpl to that and plug it in near the PLM. Once added to the Isy, i would install it in its final place and see what happens

Probably none, especially since it worked for the past year. You can confirm by manually linking it with something else. If it links then it's not bad. Once linked, factory reset both devices and then restore the device you used in the Isy
