Are you using the contact indication reverse feature? Do you have a query program set to run at 10:00 PM each night? Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

Help with program at sunset to sunrise W/ Open Close
I think @Scott was referring to folders for programs. His American accent can be hard to read sometimes. Both (not Scott and me) can have folders. I organise my device folders by rooms and my program folders by function. Sorry. Too much HA in my life and I get crazy.....or so Scott would have you believe.

X10 switch and LED floodlights
If you have a multiple bulb load, then change one to a best match incandescent. The load doesn't have to be very large.

Constant Network Activty
I would get rid of the static IP adress outside of the router IP address allowance. Use the DCHP reservation table and let your router manage it properly. Static IP addresses not managed by the central DHCP server can do strange things sometimes. And they can be hard to find.

It started out in 1964 with two 12 foot long 2 x 4s and a logarithm chart trying to build a slide rule that would yeild four digit accuracy (felt pens are not fine enough). Then in 1971 when the 8 bit CPU, expandable to of 384 bytes, was released, and digital computers for the average person became possible, many addictions started

Keypad LED lighting
KPL backlights can be level adjusted from programs but to turn them on or Off you need to create a scene for each state. These scenes can then be operated by an included controlling status (device in the scene) or by a program.

I had a router that wouldn't allow that. Other devices could not talk to addresses outside it's assigned space unless I changed the router to allow ad hoc mode. IIRC my current router allows it.

How do I wire this t-stat?
Do you have a heat pump system? You photo would seem to indicate you do and it is a Venstar T1800 stat not an Insteon stat..

Sorry. An update was missed fixing the other part. Hallway Auto Light - [ID 0021][Parent 0001] If From Sunset + 1 minute To Sunrise - 1 minute (next day) And ( Control 'Front-Door / Front Door-Opened' is Switched On Or Control 'Basement Stairs Door-Opened' is Switched On ) Then Set Scene 'Hallway Auto Light' On Wait 2 minutes Set Scene 'Hallway' Off Else <---- still need this for the end of the time frame. ie: Sunrise - 1 min Wait 2 minutes Set Scene 'Hallway' Off

House Sold and they want Insteon to stay
I would set the new owner up with an Amazon account, installing the 3 way systems that you intend to pass on so they have some basic HA and it works. You don't want action started against you because you sold them a dud system and the realestate agent will be the go between provoking the friction without any technical ability. If a few things work, they will work as a simple demonstration with a simple explanation that more complex things are possible but will require personalisation of the system. Leave small fragments of each technology working in a demonstrable manner so "you left a defective unit" can never be claimed.

Did you make any recent changes to your router? While you are in your router check the IP Address reservation in the DHCP setup page for your ISY to see if the IP address is still locked in place.

Program not acting as expected.
This sounds like you still have scenes connected to your trigger devices. I see nothing in your program to ramp the light back on. I cannot tell what is connected to what from your program labels, but usually the Status in the first line is a problem for causing oscillation of programs. I don't know why people keep checking to see if a device is in one state before changing it but, in your case being Anded with an edge trigger line the program should be OK.

Use two programs. The "control" triggers wanted are installed in the first program. It's "Then" calls the second program. The second program must be "disabled". Here is where you put your elements you do NOT want to cause any triggering that could cause restarting, stopping or running Else. Note: Program Disable only disables triggers in the program and doesn't stop it running. The program becomes similar to linear program coding.

When the time frame triggers Then or Else (it triggers both) the door logic is also true causing Then to run. Time frame logic is a combination of status and edge trigger, making it a dual purpose logic condition. It can act like a status condition for another trigger (passive) , as well as trigger on both nodes (active). Use Control/switched logic instead of status logic. Then the If sensing logic can be true only when the sensors are initially switched On . Sensor status would be true during the whole time the door is open.

What is the best thermostat to get for both Alexa echo and UDS 994i with Insteon?
Does Nest support remote sensors also?

Swimming pool water level control
Sump pumps have pressure and tilt switches that come with them or can be purchased separately. Hysteresis can be done with time delays in ISY. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

I use ecobee3, ecobeee4, Venstar 7900, Insteon 2441ZTHs, and Tekmar stats. I like the ecobees the best for professional quality, and Venstar for the easiest to integrate with ISY. I was never impressed with the very low quality of the Insteon stats for a serious HVAC application. Hovever, the ecobees and Venstars take a third party box to interface to ISY.

Problem Linking a KPL
I remember wondering what 388 meant inside certain clothing when I was a teenager. .

Program not acting as expected.
I have two RemoteLincs. They have no local indications on them and only send the keypress events. They are somewhat programmable for Toggle operation, dual button On/Off operation, or Independent button operations same as the KPL. I use one spare RemoteLinc (they are both spare since Alexa came) to initiate one of sixteen programs for testing. This was a leftover from a lighting animation I did for a circus tent ceiling once, using sixteen different animation speeds and styles, all controlled through ISY from the RemoteLinc on my person during the festivities.

Program not acting as expected.
Insteon Scenes are constantly argued about with people trying to turn them on 40% and wanting a boolean flag that tells them if the scene is still turned on. These are not really possible. Take an example of SceneTest. bulb1 = 100%, bulb2 = 80%, bulb3 = 60%, all with different ramp speeds. Now if SceneTest is turned On and then you adjust bulb3 to 30% brightness, is SceneTest still on or is it off? What if somebody adjusted bulb3 with a different ramp speed? Is it still on? The status of a Scene is not clearly defined as it contains multiple levels and ramp rates of devices to get there. (IN Insteon) The best you can do in you situation is to detect the major devices involved in your scene to determine whether you want to declare it still on or not. Also since dimming levels can vary slightly dues to round off in the math. eg: 99.6% may be considered 100% or 99%. So to be perfect we end up with: If bulb1 > 99% AND bulb2 >= 79% AND bulb2 <= 81% AND bulb3 >= 59% AND bulb3 <= 61% Then -------- So to be lazy you can just detect the level of one bulb or a range allowance for every bulb involved. You have to decide what is considered "On" from the scene remnants. To clarify the bottom lines I never post "Blah...blah....blah!", so the generic statement had to suffice.
