smorgasbord

OK, thanks for clarifying that I can use the PLM as the other leg of the Access Point bridge. The instructions were written assuming you were doing this with two Access Points. Where the ISY/PLM is located there are at least 2 different circuits, and power from the street goes into the garage first so I have lots of choices for Access Point location there. I'm sure I can find something were they are each on different phases. However, they are far enough apart that I don't believe the RF signal will reach from the ISY/PLM to the garage/Access Point - is that going to be a problem? I also have a switched relay outlet and dimming switch to install in the house, and they are both dual-band so will they bridge as well? BTW, I'm starting small because I'm expanding an older LiteTouch system (built my house in 1995 and wired it directly for LiteTouch at the time). My big usages will be several IOLincs so that I have new inputs into the LiteTouch system from Insteon devices (mostly PIRs & remotes), and can take outputs from the LiteTouch system to control new Insteon loads (like a new light that isn't wired into the LT system, and a recirculating pump motor that I don't to run continuously, and doing something with my 6 Honeywell 2-wire thermostats). I don't want to throw away the LIteTouch, but it's impractical to home-run new wiring and I don't think LT has the breath of powerline modules that I can get with ISY/Insteon.

New user/setup here. I just got my IOLinc and Motion sensor installed on the ISY by putting them in the same room as the ISY/PLM and linking them. Now, the motion sensor (2842-222) will be going into the garage, which is pretty far from the ISY/PLM. So I bought an 2443 Access Point (just one) to plug-in in the garage so that it could receive the RF signal and send it to the PLM via powerline. Is there any setup involved with putting the Access Point in the garage? It looks like I don't actually link it to the ISY. If I just plug it into an outlet in the garage how do I know that the ISY can see it? It's 50-50 whether plugging it into the garage will be on the same 110volt leg as the ISY's PLM, right? And, they're probably too far apart to talk RF to each other. What should I do for best results? Now that my Motion Sensor is linked, when I move it how do I test to be sure that the ISY is hearing it from its new location? Thanks in advance

OK, doing everything in the same room as the ISY/PLM and using New INSTEON Device works. I even got the RF motion sensor to install. Thanks!

New user here with all new equipment. I can't add any devices. For instance, when trying to add a IO Linc 2450, I get the "cannot determine insteon engine" message. Here's the level 3 log: Wed 12/04/2013 10:38:57 PM : [28 BE CE ] Added to list of devices to link to ISY Wed 12/04/2013 10:38:57 PM : [iNST-TX-I1 ] 02 62 28 BE CE 0F 0D 00 Wed 12/04/2013 10:38:57 PM : [iNST-ACK ] 02 62 28.BE.CE 0F 0D 00 06 (00) Wed 12/04/2013 10:39:06 PM : [iNST-TX-I1 ] 02 62 28 BE CE 0F 0D 00 Wed 12/04/2013 10:39:06 PM : [iNST-ACK ] 02 62 28.BE.CE 0F 0D 00 06 (00) Wed 12/04/2013 10:39:15 PM : [iNST-TX-I1 ] 02 62 28 BE CE 0F 0D 00 Wed 12/04/2013 10:39:15 PM : [iNST-ACK ] 02 62 28.BE.CE 0F 0D 00 06 (00) Wed 12/04/2013 10:39:19 PM : [28 BE CE 0 ] Failed to add device, reason 3 Wed 12/04/2013 10:39:19 PM : [All ] Writing 0 bytes to devices I also tried adding a 2842-222 Motion Sensor with the same error message. I have an Access Point also plugged in (thinking the motion sensor RF wasn't reaching the PLM). From previous messages it sounds like I might have a bad PLM. This is all brand new - is there any way for me to determine if the PLM is working right? I did the "hold the set button and plug-in, holding the button until the long beep stops) thing to reset the PLM, but that didn't seem to make a difference. Thanks in Advance.
