So, I don't know if I'm the 6th person or the 66th person, but this does work. I just replaced all the caps in my device, plugged it in and everything works great. $10 for the parts and shipping, about 30 minutes in replacing them and all is good. Compared to a $50 new unit, I think it's worth it. As was stated before, if you feel comfortable in messing with PCBs, then you should be okay. If not, still get the stuff and ask a friend to help you out, you won't regret it.

According to the information of the dimmer you can set it up to control the keypadLinc. To do this manually, do as the following direct from manual: Adding LampLinc Dimmer as an INSTEON Controller Follow the steps below to make LampLinc Dimmer control another INSTEON device. 1) Set the responder device to the state you want to be activated from LampLinc Dimmer. If the responder is a multi-scene device such as a KeypadLinc, tap the scene button you want to use as the responder. 2) Put LampLinc Dimmer into linking mode: press and hold the Set button until it beeps. LampLinc Dimmer will begin blinking green. You will have 4 minutes to complete the next step before linking mode times out. 3) Press and hold the responder’s Set button for about 3 seconds. LampLinc Dimmer will double-beep. LampLinc Dimmer’s status LED will stop blinking, then turn on solid green if the load is on or solid red if the load is off. 4) Confirm that linking was successful by tapping LampLinc Dimmer’s Up and Down buttons. The responder will respond appropriately. Now, if you are using the ISY, you will have to set up a new scene with the dimmer being the controller and the keypadlinc buttons being the responders.

well, the best way that I would do it as I sorta have in my set up is this: set up 4 programs 1=Motion turn on 2=Switch turn on 3=Auto turn off 4=Switch turn off 1st program: Motion turn on If Control 'Motion Sensor 1' is switched On Or Control 'Motion Sensor 2' is switched On Or Control 'Motion Sensor 3' is switched On Then Set 'Basement Light' On (*note - or you would already have this as a scene and you wouldn't need ISY to turn on light, thus delaying the 'On' command) Stop program 'Auto turn off' Run program 'Auto turn off' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') 2nd program: Switch turn on If Control 'Basement Light Switch' is switched On Then Stop program 'Auto turn off' Run program 'Auto turn off' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') 3rd Program: Auto turn off (this program should be disable) If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Wait x minutes Set 'Basement Light' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') 4th Program: Switch turn off If Control 'Basement Light Switch' is switched Off Then Stop program 'Auto turn off' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Now, with this to work, you will need to set up motion sensors as 'On' Commands only in the options, this way, only ISY will control when the lights go off, not the motion detectors. This is how I did my motion sensor and it's been working well. Unless someone has a better solution that maybe I don't know about.

So if the then statement works, what about the settings on your motion sensor, what are they set at? You said you have it set to On commands only, what about the settings, sensing mode, night mode, timeout minutes, etc?

MDF I was wondering what exactly is the motion sensor controlling? What device is your 3F / Office / 3F-Office-Chandelier-DIM@Door?

I'm having the same problem in my Master Bathroom as well, any suggestions on how to go about programming the actual switch through "Program"? Also, if I use the 'adjust scene,' my Switchlinc is not present in the list, even though is it v.41, dual band, dimmer switch.
