It could also confirm that they've really looked at it. There's 2 sides of the argument and I understand both. However from a company's perspective, they decided to err on the side of caution and protect themselves.

You need the Isy pro to get those options

It cannot. It's built into the device

There's no heartbeat with the motion sensor. The Isy will not auto update the sensor unless you have a program written to do so.

The guide is the paperwork that comes with all insteon products sold. It's your right to use something without reading the manual. However, you miss out on pertinent helpful information. At that point it's on you not the mfg.

Actually it is....Direct from the QSG that comes with the sensor

I'm not following. If you dont tap the sensor it'll always show as wet setting off whatever you have written to alert you. The reset is only there so that it reports dry

It's in the manual as well

This has been like that for years. Nothing new and gives instructions in the manual. Whoever gave you the reason gave incorrect information. The reason the make you tap the set button is to ensure that you've taken the time to address the situation. Should the sensor get knocked over during a leak or the water pool away from it, you could potentially have an unresolved issue that causes damage. While not great for some people, in today's world of litigation, they felt it necessary to protect themselves.

Make sure that you are running the latest firmware (5.3.1) and your UI matches. If so your switch may be too far from your Isy to add.

Are you certain? Accordinging to your post you're still showing your UI as 4.7.3 when it should be 5.0.16

You either didn't clear Java properly or you're using the wrong launcher. Both firmware and UI must match

What are the exact model plugs you are having issues with

No. Insteon devices will repeat messages automatically. No controller is needed for that to happen

Greater and less than works with insteon. I use it for my accent lights. As long as the main lights are less than 50% they'll turn on

It doesn't matter what they are in when you hit delete

That would slow things down as well since the system will continuously look for them before giving up. When removing devices, make sure you disable them in the system (right click on device>disable

You are correct. The keypads alone is about 200 links. This is before adding the rest of your devices and creating scenes and so forth between the rest of your devices. Most likely your plm is maxed out. Im surprised you were able to even add that many devices to your system. i believe this is why the Isy is stopping after 30%. Most likely the behavior you're seeing now is the correct behavior while it wasn't really doing it's proper run prior

The lighting element that comes with engraving. You can set the ambiant lighting so that as you approach the switches, it will light up according to your settings. Ion addition to that, you can set the color. The switches can be either a dimmer or relay as well The biggest though is the integration with AV systems. It's too notch.

With 300 devices I'm hard pressed to believe that you only have 500 links. That would mean you only have standard switches with no scenes at all

Id peruse the forums and look at all the other recent posts on the subject. No electronic switch will last forever. I'd assume 5 to 10 years max in the consumer market. 10 pushing the limits. High end systems could potentially last longer..... Then again you're comparing a $50 switch to a $200+ switch. Zwave would be your best bet in regards to openness. However that doesn't mean it'll be that way in 5+ years. In my opinion, that should be the least of your concerns. Buy for today as tomorrow isn't promised. There could be something else in that time or you may be different in what you're looking for. Even with me, in my next home i plan on going with Control4 in my next home. As much as I hate the cost, i love the look and capability. What I'm looking for insteon nor zwave supplies. As you and your situation changes so will your outlook. Buying for tomorrow's ideas is a waste.

You don't say what the full time difference is but 300 devices should take a while with any firmware.

There's 5.3.1 out right now which probably contains the fix

No. They are 2 different systems. It would be difficult but it is possible with 2 Isy's but you would really need to know what you're doing. If they share power, the Powerline signal could reach

Are they added to your kitchen (room)?Many people have issues when the first name matches different stuff...especially when added to a room. ie: Lights with kitchen in the name added to a room called kitchen. The assistant is already processing your command when you start with kitchen. By the time you say kitchen it's redundant in the mind of the assistant so things gets confusing once you say the actual light. For best results, add it simply by the title. Sconce, island, cabinets, etc. Then add it to your kitchen room
