Either is most kleenex! "2 x 4" has become a trade name for a product. The patent ran out! I would be sure you worked with some real 2x4s in your day. Always fun to drill through 2 or 3 of them laminated. WoW!

Since this got lost... This comes back to the OP. Why do you need to run a wire for Insteon? EDIT: Ohh re-reading the OP this is a cable with two conductors.

Here are two Borg website searches for the US and the Canuck site. Take your pick. Baseboard comes from 1/4" to 1" thick in either culture. Production builders never put in the thicker stuff so people end up using 1/4 round moulding attached to their existing base when they redo their floors to save time. I only did that once for a house I dumped. As a builder/woodworker myself, I find the look of an "add-on" 1/4 round to be cheap looking and appears as a patch job. It is very common to see it and very little baseboard is ever seen in a house anyway. https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/categories/building-materials/moulding-and-millwork/moulding/baseboard-moulding.html https://www.homedepot.com/b/Building-Materials-Moulding-Millwork-Moulding/N-5yc1vZara1/Ntk-Extended/Ntt-baseboard?Ntx=mode+matchpartialmax&NCNI-5 Note: Canada is not metric. They are trying to be metric and it became a legal requirement for about ten years until a gas vendor contested it after he was charged with selling gasoline in avoirdupois measurements.. USA started metricating much earlier, about 1955, but never forced the concept. When our sheets of plywood stop being sold into the USA they may become metric sizes. Once that happens the metrication will begin again in the lumber industry. Put that in your 2 x 4s

It's more about the price of the baseboard that determines it. Most of these baseboard styles are only 1/4" thick now so any expansion required would require a quarter round to thicken it out ad hide the expansiongap required by the the new-tech laminates. In the old days baseboard was a good 3/4 inch or 1 inch thick. When I built house i specifically looked for extra thick mouldings. Real hardware flooring doesn't need much expansion. If they expanded it would tear all the fastening nails out of the floor. I use tropical TigerWood (not a golf thing) and it just doesn't move at all in 35 feet. Heck, left ouside in the winter the wood doesn't abosrb hardly any moisture or show any UV damage. The newer plastic laminates require a lot of expansion and will bubble your floor badly. I have seen floors done by home-owners bubble 3 feet high in the air in the middle because they were pinned down at each end. This comes back to the OP. Why do you need to run a wire for Insteon?

Just some basics. The LEDs in the buttons will always flash when pressed. You can change the brightness levels of the LEDs (together) with a program in ISY. To turn LEDs on or Off requires an Insteon scene, you can create in the admin console, and you can control them with programs or a direct Insteon link (scene). I prefer the control and a slight delay of the program method.

You will need some additional logic depending on what your programs do. Post your programs. Guessing is too hard.

These are only scenes that ISY is aware of. Scenes created on the side (manually at the devices) will not show in that ISY display. Nice V5? feature though.

Go to the bottom of your devices in admin console and see if any Scene exists that contains The MS and/or the device. This would be a scene you created using ISY as a scene manager. To eliminate any scenes created without ISY scene management, right click on each device and select "restore" Battery devices have to be placed into "Linking mode" first,

What are they supposed to do? Sent from my SGH-I257M using Tapatalk

There could be two things I can think of. - You may not have enough posts to paste things (troll and spam control) - Try the Code paste box by clicking on the '<>' option above the text entry box.

Note you can right click on your program in the program tree, select copy, and paste it in the forum posts.

It is usually better to disabe all the jumpers except for #5 to allow ISY to set the options, disable the Off signal and ignore any timing built into the Insteon MS. A few workarounds have been found for disabling the MS to Lamp with a direct Insteon connection (scene). - dim the lamp level so it cannot be detected as On. - set a long ramp on speed for the MS/lamp scene and beat if out with a programmed Fast Off. https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/17495-how-to-use-a-ms-with-lights-for-faster-response/?hl=faster IIRC v5 has a disable function built into the ISY language, now.

Zippo. Waits are retriggerable in ISY. If he keeps moving the Wait (in the Then section) starts over each time. Most disable the Off send from the MS so ISY can control it based on more decisions.

Maybe I tuned in too late but why are we deviating from the standard three line program for a MS and Light? Who cares if the light ws off if we are turning it on? IF Motion detector is switched On AND Laundry light is OFF Then ....set Laundry Light ON ,,,, wait 2 minutes ,,,,set laundry light off Else ....nothin'

Always, always, always factory reset every Insteon device before linking into ISY. Use the delete existing links when linking. Easier to setup the bulb when closer to the PLM and may need dual band Insteon devices as repeaters to reach the bulb, especially if it is on the other phase leg of the 240 volt service in your house. Dual band units close to the service panel or a mechanical bridge between the phase legs can work for this. I have avoided any extenders, or phase bridge units in my Insteon system...old technology replaced by dual band Insteon devices.

Not sure if this is too complex for you or actually are looking for (without reading the whole thread again) but have a look. https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/17495-how-to-use-a-ms-with-lights-for-faster-response/page-1?do=findComment&comment=157022

Here is a problem with folder conditions. As with all other ISY statuses of devices it only knows what it has been told ...last. When you create a folder condition it always seems to think it is negative and locks out the folder from operating. Try operating the light switch manually so that the folder comes up to speed.

Perfect!

You shouldn't add a motion detector status or control / switched to a folder condition. Add the status of the light to the folder. Add the motion sensor control / switched to the program operating the light (as you probably aready have) Now drag and drop the program to the folder and let it go inside the folder. I am not disagreeing with Stu at all, just attempting to clarify the possible confusion of using the method. shhhhhhh... Don't wake Stu. He is prepping for the big night tonight and will be testing it first so we can safety enjoy it an hour or more later.

Folders can be nested. Just drop your folders involved into another folder temporarily with a condition until you are done testing or keep them that way.

Put all programs into one folder you want to stop. Put a logic condition for the folder in place, and make it evaluate to False.

Do they not work with ISY v5.0.11b ?

Yup. It was when the font sizing feature first came out, only on v4 UI and I misread postings that it could work with v5...about v5.0.1-.2 era. It hung my ISY completely and I had to factory reset my ISY. I learned the hard way when admin console shows a mess, don't ever edit or save your prgrams. That factory reset cleaned up a huge speed slow down after the many failed node server attempts at installs and removals.

I had this experience also after many failed attempts to upgrade ISY. Failed running v5 with v4 UI, installed early Polyglot, failed, removed, reinstalled then repeated a few times with NodeLink in earlier versions. Eventually I factory reset my ISY and things became like new again. My conclusion was that early methods of node server installs, left uncleaned out links to things that didn't function or exist any more. The difference in speed was extreme.
