I don't have a push button light - and your use on the laundry is pretty cool. Not sure I follow the way you hooked up the relay + push button.....with that in the equation that would still allow me to "disable/enable" the chime via the ioLinc and still know it's pressed regardless if the chime fires?

I'm not married to the ELK - would this work easier without it? Just use the ioLinc? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And I have 4 of them in series as of right now. That can change of course..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is the power rating supposedly/according to the listing on Amazon: Amico 10 Pcs 20K Ohm 5% 5W Watt Fixed Cement Power Resistors

Oops - ya it's on the SENSE position and not the 5v....thanks for the notice! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Attached is a crude drawing of how it's all hooked up - however I can't seem to get the door bell press to work when I open/disable the circuit via the ioLinc. I'm assuming I have it hooked up correctly of course - here is how I believe I have it hooked up: I have the door bell chime circuit hooked up to the NC portion of the ioLinc so that when the ioLinc is 'enabled' my door bell chime works and i get Insteon messages when it is pressed in this position. When I disable the chime would move to the NO portion of the circuit - where I have the cermic resistors setup to eat the door bell press so I can get the Insteon messages still. However this portion doesn't work. When I disable the chime it doesn't fire the chime - however I do not see the door bell being pressed at all in this position even with the resistors in the circuit. Can someone give me a hand please? Thanks! Andy

I work at a lighting company - so that should be easy to find Thanks stusviews!

How would I use an IO Linc to switch between the loads...? Not clear on that part of the setup - could I bother someone to enlighten me please? Thanks!

We got a package, and the delivery guy rang the door bell and woke my kid up. The best done delivery companies can do is s 4 hour window and leave the package. But I'm still interested in getting this door bell status to work. Going to see if I can figure out how to hook up the 24v bulb with an ioLinc so the load remains.

IIRC the transformer said 16v....but it could be anything from 10-24v really.....

The visitor might start mashing the bell - but they would still not wake my kid up If they knock, it won't wake the kid up either and by then I would be on the way to the door since I got a notification. But this wouldn't work currently as the door bell button press doesn't get sensed when I open the circuit to the chime..... The motion sounds good - but that's one more thing to mount and a bit of an eye sore....

I picked up an iolinc and an elk doorbell module and got it working with my doorbell just fine on the sense part (doorbell press -> insteon signal generated). I would like to be able to disable the chime yet know it's been pressed (scenario: I'm in the backyard while the kid is asleep yet I have a guest at the door - insteon could notify me and not ring the bell). I hooked up the leads going to the chime to the iolinc's relay however when I open the contacts of the iolinc relay the sensor doesn't get the doorbell press as the power is removed and the elk looks for a draw to "signal". Any ideas?

When using the FanLinc, the fan spins in the wrong direction for summer (in CA currently). I have the stock remote/wireless controller and that will allow me to change direction, however I didn't try changing it and then putting it back on the fanlinc.....might give that a try now that I think about it......

I called up Minka today. I'm not 100% convinced they understood my question - however they state that there is a module of sorts within the motor that the RF controller 'talks' to in order to control direction..... Any one want to crack one open

So the microswitch would have to go on the fan AFTER the fanlinc? Wouldn't the output of the fanlinc not be enough to light up the switch?

I have a micro switch i'm not using right now...

So turn it off - spin by hand in the desired direction and then turn it on....and it will remember this direction?

This is what the unit looks like - input on the left, output on the right. Black = AC motor, White = AC motor, Blue = Light: Where as the fanlinc doesn't have the White (neutral) to the motor:

There is no manual reversing swtich on this fan unfortunately. I'm just puzzled at how their rf control unit is capable of reversing the fan without anything more than the same type of electronics as the fan linc. It's got AC in and out of the stock rf unit - so they must be doing something with it ..? right?

It's a minka-aire concept i Their wireless (RF based) controller will allow you to reverse it, the only physical difference between the fanlinc and the stock controller is on the output side they have a fan neutral where as the fanlinc does not...So that's why I'm thinking they are just reversing the fan circuit to spin it in reverse, all the while increasing the speed will continue to function normally no matter which way it spins.

Reason being - the fan spins the wrong way; it's going clockwise which is great for winter - not summer Would swapping the neutral/line inputs to the fanlinc do the trick at least for now?

Is it possible to reverse a FanLinc? I don't see anything directly in the ISY. If not, is there a way to use a micro switch perhaps?

Attached a screen shot of my current console. I didn't get an error message when I added the two z-wave locks, however they do not show up in my main console Looking forward to 4.1.3 when we can manage the PINS!

Correct - after adding via z-wave -> add, they (the two locks) are NOT listed on the left hand side Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That was the issue - got them closer and now I was able to add them without error. Second part: how do i control them as they do not show up in the devices .....will I be able to not only fire them (open/close) but will i be able to manage the user PINs? Thanks!
