Unless I am missing something, that works for the local IP address but not when the away IP address is displayed.

In the Admin Console Startup screen I have been able to add a name for the local IP of the ISY. e.g., ISY-"Name". Is it possible to somehow do the same with the away IP?I have two ISYs and that would make it easier to ID which URL to use.

Thanks, Teken. I sure hope I can get this fan managed by the KPL. I would like to turn the fan on from a remote location during the winter when it is extremely cold. The heat is provided by a propane stove and tends to accumulate along the ceiling whereas the plumbing I want to protect is at a lower level. I do not like to leave the fan on except during bitterly cold weather. Everyone's help is sincerely appreciated.

Thanks, Stu. The manual might as well been written in "Klingon" as far as I am concerned. : ) You did, however answer my question in that the beep is controllable from the ISY.

Sorry, I don't understand, "you should ensure the beep and LED's remain on..." Do these come on automatically if the FanLinc is properly connected? How is the beep and LED turned off? I understand "leak" as here used.

Thanks, Gary. Given that, what purpose do the two set buttons (fan/light) serve when the device is controlled from the ISY?

A few months ago I posted asking help in replacing the switch with a KPL and using the KPL to control the ceiling fan. The fan has 3 speeds; the light is simply On/Off. I am going to have a contractor handle the install, and I am not be going to be at the location. I need to leave him step-by-step instructions on how to handle linking of the FanLinc with an ISY 994i. We will communicate by phone, and I will do the actual linking remotely. I will link using the device number but what does he need to do to put the device into linking mode? There are two set buttons on the device. Do we have to link twice, once for the fan and once for the light? I find the instructions accompanying the device confusing. Previous information I have received here indicates I cannot control the light except by programming its control with the KPL. That's no problem if I can finally get the wiring of both devices correct.

Glad to hear that resolved your problem.

Have you tried a soft reset? If so, and the results were unsuccessful, have you tried a factory reset?

I had to air gap two ToggleLincs in a 3-way following a tropical storm.

My zth behaves the same as Larry's.

As you see, Stu has had excellent experience with the Insteon stats. In contrast, I have found them to be the least dependable of all Insteon devices I have and their display is terrible. Personally, I will never own another unless a much improved version is developed.

Stuck the switch back in the wall and will order a 2477D. Thanks very much for the feedback.

Paul, I have a ToggleLinc 2466SW. We are using a meter to see which side of the switch the power comes in on. Having done that, how do we wire the ToggleLinc? The white wire is line; the black is load.

Replacing a switch that controls a light. One wire entering and leaving the existing switch. How do I wire the 2477S?

My neighbor graciously checked things out. First, my IP has not changed. Using the LAN IP for the ISY, he successfully accessed the ISY. So, the problem has been narrowed to remote access. He rebooted the router, and I still can't get in remotely. Somehow, it appears that the setup for remote access is corrupted. In the interim, the ISY is controlling things normally. When I return home I will access the Airport Extreme router and check out things in detail. Thanks for the help. I will report a followup in a couple of weeks.

I will get my neighbor to reboot the router this evening. Thanks

I have to assume I do since I can access the Insteon Camera through the router. Also, the door sensors are correctly reporting their status and the camera is sending motion-activated email.

I am away from home and cannot access my ISY. I had a neighbor drop by the home and remove the power from the ISY and reboot it. I still cannot access it. I am able to access an Insteon Camera at that location so the away IP is correct. I would not think the PLM had anything to do with remotely accessing the ISY--am I correct? Any suggestions as to next steps?

I have had intermittent problems with the zth since the day I installed it. It is the least dependable Insteon device I own. The unit is located remotely and only used to report temperature. In my primary residence I switched to two Honeywell RTH9580W's. They have been fantastic units. Their only downside is that in addition to local manual control they are programmed and remotely controlled using a Cloud-based service. Thus far, no problems. They are easily controlled with an app on my phone from anywhere, Finally, Michel has indicated these stats will be included in the ISY in the near future. They are beautiful stats in contrast to to the zth. I love them.

If you are powering the zth with a dongle, remove the power for a couple of minutes. Restore the power to the device and wait a few minutes for it to update. I have found that mine does this occasionally and since I am not at that location for months during the winter, I placed an ApplianceLinc between the dongle and the outlet. Thus, I can interrupt the power remotely and reset the stat as needed.

Stu, I blew it. I thought only the ToggleLinc and Leak Sensors were affected. Late last night I realized that nothing in the ISY was running. I had to reboot the PLM to get everything working again. I created a lot of unnecessary work for myself because I failed to undertake the necessary analyses before starting to "kick the wheels". Perhaps others will benefit from this post. Thanks for the feedback.

This afternoon, following a thunderstorm, my ToggleLinc (2466SW) lost its link to the ISY (red exclamation point)—it still controls the bathroom fan On/Off manually. I tried querying the device, air gapping it, write updates and restore device. I deleted the device from the ISY and factory reset it 3 times by air-gapping it followed by pressing and holding the set button until the beep ended. Each time I tried linking the device using its address and New Insteon/X10/A10 without success. Nothing has changed in the setup. A few minutes following the storm I also got false wet notifications from 2 leak detectors--9 are in service. I have tested those two leak detectors and neither will report. I factory reset both twice and they will not link. Sounds like a power surge "killed" these devices. Thoughts?

Michel: In the Admin Console window the URL is: https://"my ip"/desc I don't understand your recommendation. The approach I have used has worked flawlessly for years.

They are both Insteon devices.
