  1. Is that one single-gang switchbox for all the lights? I was assuming the lights cover the ceilings of a church and would have an input for each fixture, meaning multiple pairs of inputs. I wonder if the live feed from the inputs can be disconnected in the fixtures so that a separate 0-10v supply could be used?
  2. For your application, do you have a cabinet to load equipment into or are you forced into a switch box or octagon box? Is there a central location for all the 0-10V light controls or would the controller have to be in individual locations?
  3. Then don't use the 10Vdc from the lighting device and use your own supplied voltage, observing polarity. A potentiometer only acts a a voltage divider to accomplish the same thing. However if the 10Vdc is live to the electrical supply and the output of the 0-10V device cannot handle the rise in voltage then it's not going to work, or be dangerous. Oooops. Are you saying there is only two terminals/connections for the lighting input and it's permanently alive from an internal source? If so, you would have to disconnect the internal supply. To get a variable resistance output you may have to go to some ardiuno kit/gadget with a variable duty cycle oscillator and filter to simulate resistances.
  4. I don't know what multi-channel means. I have no Zwave and AFAIC Insteon devices have always had multi-channel as I understand the meaning of the syllables.
  5. That would be the only plug-in solution I can see. The 10vdc power supply would have to be an analogue unit without a regulator (good luck finding one of those antiques) and the ISY values would have to compensate for the diode bridge losses at the bottom end. The transformer might hum and/or not like the hacked up waveform coming off the Insteon dimmer. The Insteon dimmer may not like the inductive load either when it injects high frequency switching noise either. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  6. Still sounds like a new router problem. The fancier they get, the more problems come forward. I have three newer style routers and the reason for the latest two purchase were similar problems. The newest one does things like this too. All different brands and they all need cold boots occasionally despite the 15 upgrades and Merlin new and improved, less hangs. firmware. One of the biggest factors I found, almost every summer, is they overheat with the dual core 1Ghz ++ cores. Vertically mounting the last two helped immensely.
  7. The chart shows your blinking LED pattern indicates a poor Ethernet connection. Read suggested fixes from the chart in dbuss's post above. Reboot router, wipe connector contacts by pulling out and push back in. Ping ISY from another computer.
  8. This could be a router problem. I had some problems like that when my router was acting up. Data makes it through most of the time but sometimes you get delays and things give up trying. I have had to power cycle my router a few times where soft reboots haven't worked. May be worth a try.
  9. Welcome to the forum! What frequency do you have the Echo on? Try moving the Echo a few inches. Sometime you get reflections off surfaces. Are you close to an Airport or under s flight path? 5GHz modems must change channels (on most frequencies) if they every hear radar.
  10. Awesome! I love it when a fan comes together!
  11. Not following your wiring completely but it sounds like you connected the fan and lampbulb to the load wire (red = switched) of the KPL. The KPL red load wire should be capped off and not used for the fanlinc controller. It is controlled by Insteon signals only. FanLincs require raw power from the original black wire at the KPL.
  12. Error log and trimmed log sent! Thanks!
  13. My ISY Portal to ISY connection just locked up at 2:00 PM today. If ound it tonight when I got home and my Dots complained that the hub involved was not functioning. Loading the admin console, everything loaded but the message "Initialising" was displayed permanently. ISY Portal app complained ISY was down, also. All other ISY functions I tested seemed to work properly, including NRs and NodeLink. Rebooted ISY to a working system again. That is a first for me. The ISY and ISY Portal just decided they didn't like each other today. ISY V5.0.13C
  14. Only one output at a time? Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  15. Onkyo A/V receivers have Sonos built-in in many models now.
  16. With a binary value resistance ladder 256 levels can be produced with 8 outputs. If there is a common place a WC8 could output the analogues to what 8 lights?
  17. There was a thread about the same thing here, about a year or more ago. I don't think there was a good solution put forth. Those controls seem to be oriented towards some studio style controller applications. There may be some transducer available that would interface an Insteon 120vac dimmer to a 0-10vdc sgnal. Perhaps a simple non-regulated power supply (wallwart) but the transformer may not lke the chopped waveform and overheat from harmonics or make noise.
  18. 0-10v sounds like fluorescent? I have one 4 x 32 W unit in my kitchen and I have thought about tearing out the ballasts and bulbs and installing a 5m RGBWW LED strip and LEDenet WiFi controller inside the cover. The white light off these WW strips is a beautiful 3000K that always feels much richer than any other white bulbs of any technology I have seen. Dimming goes smoothly right down to 1% and the mechanical switch would turn it back onto the last colour used. or....A switchlinc used but not wired to the load could control the on/off level and colours but ISY and NRs would be required.
  19. I had some problems with Win 10 a year back. The icon would end up hid in the start menu root, the ISY sub-menu or my desktop at random.
  20. Clear your java cache of all three options Then try the download again. The warning is a java cleanup message and shouldn't be related to this.
  21. Just to play dirty... That line gets blurred with vocal activation gadgets. Although I don't have to touch anything, or get anything out of my pocket, it is still just "advanced" remote control, and not any form of automation. Alexa! Turn on the sunset lights! becomes pretty convenient, although as a fellow HA purist, I feel so violated!
  22. For me it would be the most simple and obvious, considering wondering what you did a year from now.
  23. Some seem to be traumatised by variables and fear their complexity. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  24. Thanks guys! I know in previous times if UPnP was shut off things stop working and some will complain about it. This sounds more like a router deficiency that was fixed a few years ago in later router versions.
  25. I thought UPnP would not transmit through a router to the outside world through any router???
