It'll pull the buttons for how it's configured but the label will show what it actually is.

Was this originally a 6 button kpl with an 8 button faceplate? I ask because If your 8 button is showing up as a 5 button then it was added as a 6 button kpl. If this is truly an 8 button kpl, delete the device from the Isy, factory reset it, and then re-add it. Your buttons should then show all 8 and work properly

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

Your link brings you back to this subject. However, i found your post. I use magnitude with insteon devices without any issues. The one you have can work with them. You didn't state how you were trying to add the device to the Isy. If there is noise from the driver, disconnecting it can work. I'd try factory resetting the device again, choosing start linking, and then press and hold the set button on the insertion device until you hear the chirp

Yes it will. How long it lasts depends on stock levels. Hopefully it'll last until they start making them again

If the kpl was part of your backup, it shouldn't need to be added. You simply need to restore the device to the Isy. How are you trying to add the device. Try start linking and then press and hold the set button until you hear a chirp. Who said you're using the wrong driver and what made them feel it's the wrong type for your dimmer?

Set the command you want with the end result you want. If lights are switched on or fade on Then stop lights program. You'll also want to be able to ree able the program. This can be done automatically after a certain time period or once you turn the lights off

Its in alpha. Unless you're wanting to test, I'd hold off

I don't think they are against it completely. I think they'd be willing to as long as insteon provided the necessary documentation and support behind it.

I actually took some of your advice when I built my last house and will reuse it in my next home. Won't tell you which one because I don't want to hear i told you so. ?. In all seriousness, it was your rant on grounding. You do provide great information even if I don't agree due to the nature of things. I know it comes from the right place and trust the information you provide.

Do you really want to owe me another 10 rounds?

No they dont. Insteon isn't going for that market. There's a reason those switches are 5 bucks. They are simply stamping their name on someone elses product. While a segment of society may purchase those products, most avoid them due to mistrust of extremely low priced goods. This is especially so if you live in a luxury home or greater. This is the market insteon is going for. The look, feel, and feedback of the new devices when operated are all top notch. Something a person who desires high end without high end prices would be willing to get. Its like the old saying: "Don't ever lower your prices. Change your clientele"! There are people willing to pay

We get along great. Don't let the tone of our debates fool you. While we may go at it like we do, there's a high level of mutual respect between us. Our off line conversations are much different. Lol

Nothing about you is an avg user. That's like saying Lebron James is an average basketball player! Whether we agree or not, the knowledge you have is much greater than most people.... UDI and other companies like them are the exception- not the rule.

I probably am now..... But it'll be worth it

You know the people it fooled???techies and those who care about benchmarks. The avg person doesn't know what a benchmark is. They just want a good looking phone that takes great pictures. I've been saying all along (and you've unintentionally acknowledged), the avg user is easy to please. They are unaware or simply don't care which is why Insteon and others are marketing to them and not power users....buckle up, it's only going to get worse for power users I'll have my 10 rounds now

Look at where Yahoo and Volkswagen are now, compared to where they used to be in regards to profit and value. While they may be returning, you see with them what happens when stupid people run corporations. Those should've been your picks for stupid companies

The point I'm making is that these companies are the richest in the world. The people running them can't be that stupid. No matter how you measure it, Samsung is worth more than all of those you named combined. They are making smart decisions somewhere. The same applies to apple, Google, Microsoft, etc

Since all these multi billion dollar companies (and continue to make billions) are all stupid- who are the smart ones?

Slightly? ?

All depends on where I'm going. I actually prefer boutique hotels like the kimptom but will use either Hilton or Marriott. Ritz is your place. Too expensive for me

Thank you kind sir! In all seriousness, it wasn't a walk back. While we may not like the path insteon is on, they made a decision to take a different path with the new line. In time, i think they will open things more where it can be enjoyed by us but for now, they are trying something different as it pertains to that line Even with my company, I had to do the same over the years and will continue to adapt.

That's taken out of context. I was saying you grew with the times and adapted for it

Do people even stay in those hotels anymore? ?
