I have the following scene called 'Downstairs - Kitchen'. As you can scene from the image attached below it contains a Dual Band Switchlinc (20.93.9B) and a Remotelinc Button A (0A.0A.64) My problem is when I trigger the 'Downstairs - Kitchen' scene on or off, it not only turns on or off switchlinc (20.93.9B) but it also turns on or off a Dual Band Outlinc Dimmer (2A.74.1C) thats not even in the scene. I am sure I don't have any other programs or scences that would also trigger the Dual Band Outlinc Dimmer (2A.74.1C) on or off. When I do a scene test on the 'Downstairs - Kitchen' scene this is the result: Sun 07/13/2014 08:46:59 PM : [GRP-RX ] 02 61 1B 13 00 06 Sun 07/13/2014 08:46:59 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 2A.74.1C 23.98.41 61 13 1B LTOFFRR(1B) Sun 07/13/2014 08:46:59 PM : [std-Cleanup Ack] 2A.74.1C-->ISY/PLM Group=0, Max Hops=1, Hops Left=0 Sun 07/13/2014 08:47:00 PM : [CLEAN-UP-RPT] 02 58 06 Sun 07/13/2014 08:47:00 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 20.93.9B 23.98.41 62 13 1B LTOFFRR(1B) Sun 07/13/2014 08:47:00 PM : [std-Cleanup Ack] 20.93.9B-->ISY/PLM Group=0, Max Hops=2, Hops Left=0 ----- Downstairs - Kitchen Test Results ----- [ignore] Remote Grey - Button A (A A 64 1) [succeeded] Downstairs - Kitchen (20 93 9B 1) ----- Downstairs - Kitchen Test Results ----- Not sure wha this means but I do see the address for the Dual Band Outlinc Dimmer (2A.74.1C) in the second line.

Anyone have IR Codes for pause on a Tivo Series Premiere?

I find it surprising that there are no hardwired smoke and Co combination detectors with battery backup that link to a home automation system either through Zwave or Onelink/smoke bridge.

If anyone is interested there is now a plugin for the Logitech squeezebox where the squeezebox server will issue a GET command when a player is turned on or off. I use this to update variables in the ISY (using ISY REST interface) to keep my programs in the ISY in sync with the Squeezebox. More details at: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthrea ... in-SBNetIO https://code.google.com/p/sbnetio/

If there aren't too many possible values for the variable you could define a separate network resource for each value hard coded in each network resource. Then write programs to call a particular network resource once a variable equals a certain value. A long work around that may work for you.

I don't see this happening. Venstar needs Smarthome to develop this and since Smarthome developed their own range of thermostats they are unlikely to put any investment into this. Would be better off starting a poll on the Smarthome forum to get them to act.

As always Lee thanks for the quick and helpful response. So it appears that there may have been some user error, perhaps on my behalf but also on the instructions in the wiki. I followed the instructions on the Wiki (I thought I did, see: http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Linking_a_TriggerLinc) which says to press the set button after doing the ISY New Insteon Device steps, at which time it errors out with the engine error. Putting the device into linking mode first does the trick. Can I blame this one on the instructions ?? Anyway all good now. I think I will order a new device regardless as the reason I factory reset it and added it back to the ISY was because it 'locked up' / wasn't sending events this morning not to mention it is the first release of the triggerlinc and there have been numerous updates to the firmware of this device from the looks of it so cannot hurt to have a spare/newer one around for the future. Are you aware of the differences between the TriggerLinc (2421) and the Open/Close Sensor (2843-222)? Thanks Again

When I go to add a Triggerlinc to the ISY I am getting a 'Cannot Determine Insteon Engine Error'. (See attached file). I have factory reset the Triggerlinc a number of times and still no luck adding it to the ISY. I am adding it through the 'New Insteon Device' menu option under Link Management. Have tried moving it within 5 feet of an access point, have also tried the different insteon messaging options under Advanced Options under Link Management. Running the latest firmware 4.0.5. Do I have a corrupt Triggerlinc?

I am running latest ISY firmware 4.05 and none of my 2477D Dual Band Switchlinc Dimmers show the options with the latest switchlinc firmware of all my switchlincs being V.41 as reported in the ISY and on the face of the Switchlinc the sticker shows as 'V7.0'. Haven't seen anyone post here or in Smarthome forum that they have this working with a 2447D or keypadlinc.

Ok thanks. Given this is on a door that is used pretty much everyday I guess I can build a notification program on the ISY that if there is no open or closing of the door over a 24 hour period to then have the ISY notify/email me that battery may be flat. Figured I can have a program that increases a variable for each opening or closing and if that variable is zero after 24 hours to email me that battery may be flat. May have to factor in weekends if I am away.

Installed it and it works fine. One more question, does the Triggerlinc have a heartbeat/notification functionality when the battery is low and needs to be replaced?

Thanks will try it tonight. Running latest firmware 4.0.5.

I have had a Triggerlinc sitting unused that I bought some time ago (I think when the Triggerlinc first came out). It has a sticker on it showing 'REV 1.0 0924'. I now have a need for the Triggerlinc. Before I install it, are there any known issues with this version of the Triggerlinc? Do I need to buy one with some later firmware?

I see that Lowes has the IRIS product that supports Zigbee, Z-Wave, and Wifi home automation devices. Just interested if it is theoretically possible to support all of Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wifi and Insteon based devices running together within a home at the same time driven by the one controller or do the Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wifi and Insteon protocols conflict with each other within the home?

Installed a new PLM this morning and so far so good. Comms issues seemed to have improved and not one miss fire of the program today so far. Appears my 5 year old PLM needed to be retired.

I jut ordered a few more SwitchLincs (they are on discount plus free shipping) and a new PLM (cannot hurt to have a backup even if it proves not to be the PLM) to see if that (plus unplugging everything on that circuit) improves the Comms and report back. Appreciate the help

If the light is off its status is considered off (not on) when the program triggers for evaluation when I press the paddle On.

oberkc, Not sure I understand your question. If the light is Off and I turn it On, or if the light in On and I turn it Off that should not trigger the Then Statement based on the program above ie Status is 100% and Paddle is Switched on Lee, That was simply my attempt to try and ensure the ISY has the correct status after a paddle press. Initially I didn't have these in the program but added them. I don't have any other issues with comms around this phase and run, perhaps I will get myself a new PLM given my current one is going on 6 years. You say if the ISY missed an off command, can you confirm it did? My last press before it triggered was an On.

Ok so I simplified the program as follows: If ( Status 'Downstairs - Kitchen' is 100% And Control 'Downstairs - Kitchen' is switched On ) And $SB_DN_Kitchen_OnOff is 0 Then $SB_DN_Kitchen_OnOff = 1 $SB_DN_Kitchen_Toggle = 1 Resource 'SqueezeBox On - Downstairs - Kitchen - Z100' Set 'Downstairs - Kitchen' Query Else Set 'Downstairs - Kitchen' Query I then simply went to the kitchen Switchlinc and using the paddle simply turned the Switch on then off, on, off, on, off,......... until the program triggerd the Network Resouce / then statement after about 20 on, off sequence presses (allowing about a second or more between paddle presses). Again based on my paddle presses I don't understand how this program triggers the Network resource/then statement. I have attached a copy of the event viewer below showing the last few paddle presses if that helps, this means nothing to me but perhaps someone with more knowledge can tell me what is going on. What is even stranger to me is when I go to the programs summary page it says the last time the program status is false???

Absolutely no offense taken, in fact I appreciate someone taking the time to help out. It is the "Music - Kitchen Down - On" program that is triggering. I can now confirm that. The kitchen Switchlinc was OFF (0%) and I just turned it on (100%) via the paddle and the program triggered true. That makes absolutely no sense to me, how can that program trigger true, when switching the Kitchen light from off (0%) to on (100%) from a paddle press based on how that program's if statement is written: If ( Status 'Downstairs - Kitchen' < 1% And ( Control 'Downstairs - Kitchen' is switched Off Or Control 'Downstairs - Kitchen' is switched Fast Off ) ) Or ( Status 'Downstairs - Kitchen' is 100% And Control 'Downstairs - Kitchen' is switched On ) Or Control 'Downstairs - Kitchen' is switched Fast On And $SB_DN_Kitchen_OnOff is 0 Then ..................

Lee, I upgraded to 4.0.2 in the hope that would fix it but it still reoccurs. Is there some logging we can do here to understand what is going on?

This is just in there for some debugging I did, you can remove the Off and 100% lines. I use > 99% because if the light is dimmed and I want to get it to 100% I don't want to trigger the music on. I must respectfully disagree, these programs work in my other rooms flawlessly and do exactly what I want but do not work on this particular dualband switchlinc. The problem started when I changed out the Switchlinc to a dualband switchlinc so I suspect that has something to do it with it. Further, what is most troublesome is that the programs on this switchlinc do not run consistently in terms of there is random outcome or at least one that does not follow the program logic.

I have a whole house music system and have set up a number of programs that call Network Resources that lets me control the music via my insteon Switchlincs in a particular room. The behavior of the programs achieves the following: - If the light switch is on and music is off and I press on then turn on the music to z100 - If the light switch is on and music is already on and I press on then toggle to the next playlist - If the light switch is pressed fast on then turn on the music to z100 - If the light switch is off and music is off and I press off then turn on the music to z100 - If the light switch is on and music is on and I press off then turn off the music - If the light switch is pressed fast off then turn off the music My set of programs are below. My problem is the program will turn on the z100 music stream randomly when it shouldn't turn on. For example, the light switch is off and I turn the light switch on, will end up with z100 playing - this happens randomly, ie program will run as expected (ie turn light on only) a number of times but sometimes it ends up turning the light and music on. Even weirder is that last time it triggered randomly the program summary page showed all 6 programs triggering when the light switch was pressed on (music was off) and all programs showed a status of False but the music was still triggered on, but variables had been set to 1, so clearly program had triggered. The Switchlinc is a dual band. This is driving me nuts as I have the same programs in some rooms that work fine, but in a couple of rooms trigger randomly. I am running on 4.02 and had same problem on 3.3.10.

Thank You very helpful, I will follow the instructions once the 994i arrives. So it appears that even though I restore from the back up before the Network Resources module is transferred/activated on the new 994i the Network Resources are in fact still there on the 994i, just not accessible until the Network Resource module is activated by UDI?

I am sure this exists somewhere on the wiki or forum but I couldn't find it, I just purchased a 994i to upgrade my 99i. Is there an instruction guide for how to replace my 99i with my new 994i when it arrives? I do not want to screw things up and lose my years of configuration, including programs and network resources. I am particularly concerned on how to transfer the network resources module and getting network resources transferred across. Is there a guide for me to follow? I am sure this will be a common question with the new firmware not being available on the old 99i devices going forward.
