  1. That depends what is on the bed!
  2. You are right. My mini remote is larger than my keyfob too. Who has a keychain anymore? Who carries any keys for a vehicle or their house locks? Welcome to the 2st century. OTOH: Who pushes buttons on a keyfob, or even takes it out of their pocket until they hang their pants up at night? Wife never takes hers out of her purse.
  3. I agree with giesen above. This may change depending on experience in two years. UDI hasn't made a habit out of gouging the user base in the past..
  4. Just be very careful of the sticking to the ceiling drywall. The ceiling paint wad probably not cured when the ring was compressed into it and will tend to tear the surface paper back.
  5. AC power doesn't change the way the Insteon wireless updates except for humidity uses a faster update time cycle.
  6. This can be done by modifying the wiring in the both light switch boxes and the last fixture. The last fixture wiring changes must be done to not violate wiring colour codes badly. If you have potlights they almost always can be unscrewed from their racking mechanism with screws from the inside of the can, pulled down out of the drywall/frame on the wiring and the box lid snapped open. The white neutral would have to be continued by connecting to the last fixture white and the black and red reversed to how they are connected now. then you colours should be correct to the tail end switchlinc. The entrance switchlinc would need to be arranged to meet standard wiring practice colours with black connected to continue it and red on the switchlinc capped off. If you can get the last can pulled down to access the wiring then I am sure it can be sleuthed from there and made to work, provided the wiring turns out to be as pictured posted.
  7. Post #28 he stated it is as per picture and attached it.He hasn't answered your Q about 2 x 2c yet though. Keep digging for accuracy of diagram.
  8. Stu. He is removing 3-way mechanical switches and installing single-contact Insteon switches. The wiring always has to be changed, so I missed your point on that one. He will have to change some connections on the right fixture to make it understandable and probably to code.
  9. First forget the three way with Insteon. It doesn't exist. What you want in the end is - white neutral to go to each switchlinc White and each bulb white screw. - black hot to both switchlinc blacks - one switchlinc Red to feed the lights via Reds or blacks - other switchlinc red capped off. The logical Or switching is done with Insteon scenes where both switches On/Off control as scene that turns on the loaded (red connection) switchlinc -
  10. According to the manual hold it in until the buzzing stops (about 10 seconds)
  11. Have you factory reset your KPL at the KPL, and then Restored it from ISY?
  12. The KPL LEDS are only controlled via scenes so you would have to find your scene and drag the B button out of it.
  13. SwitchLincs have a preset On level that you can program into the switch. Either use dim to 100%, fast On, reprogram the level in the device page, or hold the SwitchLinc up button until the level is set to full On, but this could happen again later. I have several of my SwitchLinc dimmers do this and I have installed programs to force them to 100% when they see an On control signal.
  14. Add the KPL button LED to the scene with the other devices. It will come on when the scene is On.
  15. Great and good to hear! With ISY these things are so easy and take about 1.389 minutes.
  16. Does that indicate what model you have somehow?I have only had an ISY994 for about 2+ year now and never saw any other models.
  17. Does Firmware Version 3.3.10 necessarily indicate he is not using an ISY994 ?
  18. My son had some University students visiting from Australia that hung around our house for a few months. Never having seen squirrels we took them to the park and showed them some. Being from Oz, they always had some good BS tales to tell me and we bantered back and forth a lot, but they were too smart mostly, until (not 'till') I finally convinced them we enjoyed chocolate covered squirrel bits as a confectionary.
  19. Dog-sled? I thoughy that was what Americans called "drop-shipping"....Fido...DROP IT! Geeezzzz! ...and I put out some biscuits too. It isn't stuck in the Customs igloo either. Hasn't been processed yet. Ordered an Insteon Insteon to iR converter that was on sale, OnOff modules, SwitchLinc, and MS. All the special production stuff.

    Maybe the load loads down the powerline transmitter and "settles down" the powerline signal, making it more coherent and less saturated/noisy.
  21. Anybody else seen any movement on orders placed during this sale? SH 4-7 day shipping turns out to be AFTER they actually ship it. What did I expect? It would actually be significant and meaningful? Ordered Sept 2, Nothing processed yet, Sept 15.
  22. Operate turns on any lights I give it but not off. Seems it is meant to be a toggle function. Open/close and On/Off works for any light program, device scene for me.

    What computer OS are you running?
  24. The Network Resource module allows many different Ethernet based protocols to be sent out only. Basic ISY can send eMail. NR also allows logging files to be created inside ISY from the eMail function call. With the REST interface built into ISY, variables, programs, devices, and scenes can be controlled and read externally. State variables cause program executions to trigger when they change value. Integer variables do not saving ISY logic engine cycles. Both variable types can be used for conditional value logic.
  25. I thought about the same thing with an On/Off plug-in module instead of a single-band IO/Link that has such a limited output and input voltage range.
