The display in MobiLinc and ISY remained blank for temperature so I unplugged the thermostat. When it powered up, the temperature displayed correctly in MobiLinc and on the ISY. However, the heat set point had disappeared! That is critical since the location of this thermostat experiences routine power outages and the only reason the thermostat is there is to send me a notification when the heat setpoint has been reached and thus telling me that the onsite heating system has failed. I am aware that using batteries could avoid this but I will not return to this location for 4 months and I doubt the batteries would last that long. Bummer!

I recently installed a 2441ZTH with the plug-in It is behaving as described above. If I query the device using MobiLinc the current state for temperature disappears. It also disappears from the main display in the ISY. I tested the notification process I set up to email me when there was a call for heat and that feature works despite the fact that the current state for temperature is not displayed. I plan to wait and see if the display restores.

No, unfortunately. I am going to contact Smarthome and see if they can/will provide the old firmware.

They are wireless, but the important thing is that they functioned very well before the firmware update. After that...

I received the thermomstat, wired in the plug accessory and linked it. Everything went very smoothly and now, using a simple program, i am notofied by email when the thermostat is calling for heat and, thus, indicating that the heating system has failed. Love it! Great advice, as always. I am wrapping up installation of the last hidden door sensor. Everything is working fine except for my Smarthome cameras. They failed following the last firmware update. The replacements, graciously provided by Smarthome, have been nothing but problematic. IR sensors occasionally start flashing and require a reboot. Blocking out times when I want to deactivate motion-activated notification no longer works. Slight changes in lighting result in motion activated alerts. If I reduce the sensitivity someone can occasionally walk directly in front of the camera and no alert is sent. Video quality has degraded somewhat. On MobiLinc I get messages that it can't connect to one of the camera only to have the connection made a few seconds later. None of these issues existed prior to the firmware update.

When I tried a factory reset and relinking, it did not work. As I checked things out, I noticed the KPL had reappeared in the Device Tree along with the disabled icons. I deleted these from the Device Tree and relinked the KPL. After a bit of work all is up and running again. Thanks, Stu.

Yesterday, I disabled several devices and a couple of scenes plus 1 program. I must have done something accidentally. Nevertheless, you have further educated me with the meaning of this icon and the proper step to take to address it.

I closed the Admin Console and reopened it and the KPL is no longer in the Device Tree.

A program executing when a button is pressed has stopped working. I checked the KPL in the Device Tree and it had the red circle logo adjacent to all 5 nodes. I control-clicked the first node intending to do a Query but the Query option was not available. I then tried a soft reset without success. The KPL nodes are in a folder and when I tried to remove them from the folder in preparation to delete them I was unable. I then tried to delete the folder itself and could not. All the buttons on the KPL but one still perform their intended purpose. I am stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I have about 15 SwitchLinc/ToggleLincs controlling Christmas lights. I plan to remove these devices from the outlets following the holidays. The devices are included in 3 scenes and 2 programs. When I remove these devices from the outlets should I also erase them from the ISY along with their scenes and programs? I hate to do that because of the lost work.

Xathros/Stusviews: You have never steered me wrong so I will be ordering the thermostat and the plug accessory. Thanks.

After a bit of research, the Smarthome kit is poorly rated. The Insteon Wireless Thermostat seems like it would work, but a quick read of the manual indicates that programming/setup appears extremely complex for the "simple" task I have in mind, i.e., send me an email if the temp. setpoint is less than 60 degrees. Any additional ideas/suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks, I will continue my research with these ideas in mind.

I have a small vacation home heated with a Rinnai LP Gas Heater (1004FA-III Propane Direct Vent Heater). The heater has a built-in thermostat. I heat the home in the winter to prevent freezing. I have an ISY 994I at the location. My current makeshift solution is to periodically use a Smarthome camera to look at a strategically located thermometer. Works, but is a pain. Is there a device that will continuosly monitor temperature, report to the ISY and. through programming, notify me when a low setpoint is exceeded?

Thanks. My mailbox is about 50 feet from the house but it faces away from the house and is enclosed in a brick structure. I have serious doubts that a signal can be transmitted successfully from there. I may give it a try anyway since the sensors are relatively inexpensive.

Off topic, but how far is your mailbox from your house? Does the door of the mailbox face your house when open? Sounds like something I would love to do.

Are you backing up from a Mac?

The scene has a KPL button programmed as a controller and non-toggle-off. When that button is pressed it turns off, let's say, devices A, B, C & D which were included in the scene as responders. The problem, the KPL buttons which displayed ON for KPL buttons A, B, C & D continue to display their status as ON despite the fact that the scene ran successfully and turned them OFF. I would like for their displayed button status to reflect their true status, that is, OFF. I hope this clarification helps.

They are programmed as responders to the KPL button which is programmed as a controller.

I have 3 separate KPL buttons set to turn off several devices (different at each KPL). The buttons are set non-toggle-off. When a button is pressed the devices are turned off as programmed, however, their KPL button status continues to display as ON. How can I get their correct status displayed?

My profound thanks to all of you. Two new programs in place and working perfectly. More importantly, additional programming knowledge acquired.

Xathros: It is a 6-button KPL. I don't understand what you are suggesting. Keep in mind that I want to delay turning off the chandelier for 5 minutes while leaving the bedroom light on. Then, I want to somehow turn off the ROG Other KPL A. Could I impose on you to be abit more specific as to what the scene includes and how I use it with the exiting program? Thanks.

When It try the "brute force" method, the only option I get for KPL A is to chenge its LED level, not turn it OFF.

If Status 'ROG Other KPL / ROG Other KPL A (Bedtime)' is On Then Set 'Chandelier (Upstairs)' On Set 'Mom's Bedroom KPL / Mom's Bedroom KPL 1 (Light)' On Wait 5 minutes Set 'Chandelier (Upstairs)' Off Else Set 'Chandelier (Upstairs)' Off The foregoing program allows my wife to press KPL A in the ROG and turn the upstairs chandelier and her bedroom light on. After 5 minutes, the chandelier cuts off. The program works as designed, however, the KPL A button remains lit following execution of the program and must be pressed twice for the program to run next time. What do I need to do to have KPL return to its OFF state, ready to run with a single tap next time?
