I did what you said in your last response and It worked!!! If I could reach through the computer, I would hug you. Making the Insteon motion sensor turn on and off with motion all the while controling different lighting scenes at different times of day has been a quest. Thanks for your patients and providing me with this needed help.

Thanks for responding so diligently to my posts! Before you posted this last reply I already tried what you suggested. I positioned the Jumper, found in location #4, on both pins. This theoretically puts the motion sensor into the "Occupancy mode". I thought for sure this was the magic solution. To my sadness, after 1 minute the lights did not turn off. I gave it up to 5 minutes and no lights turned off. I have found that the Insteon motion sensor will work as an off/on switch with motion sensed or not when it is linked to a specific Insteon switch. When the motion sensor is tied to the ISY it will turn on with motion sensed but it will not turn of when the motion goes away unless you give it a time frame such as 'wait' turn off after 3 minutes. As you can see, I am stumped. There has to be away to make the motion sensor turn off when no motion is sensed when it is tied to the ISY. Has anyone been successful with this?

I really appreciate your reply. Here is the program I put together. if Control ‘Kitchen Motion Sensor’ is switched On and From 6:00 AM To Sunset (Same Day) Then Set ‘Kitchen Fluorescent Lights’ On Wait 1 minute Set ‘Kitchen Fluorescent Lights’ Off Else Wait 1 minute Set ‘Kitchen Fluorescent Lights’ Off It is now turning the lights on with motion sensed. With the ‘wait 1 minute’ code, lights are now turning off after 1 minute even if motion is sensed. Is there a way to program this so that it will not turn the lights off until no motion is sensed? If I am working in the kitchen, I don’t want the lights to turn off after 1 minute when I am still in the kitchen.

I really appreciate your reply. Here is the program I put together to manage one of the 3 scenes in my kitchen. if Control ‘Kitchen Motion Sensor’ is switched On and From 6:00 AM To Sunset (Same Day) Then Set ‘Kitchen Fluorescent Lights’ On Here is the problem I am still having. The motion sensor is suppose to turn off if no motion is seen after 1 minute. Well it never turns off. How do I program the lights to turn off if no motion is seen after a timeout?

I am new to this forum. I have several Insteon products in my house being controlled by an ISY994i. I was wondering if anyone out there had successfully programed or knew how to program an Insteon motion sensor to turn on different lights depending on the time of day. This is my scenario. I have three different lighting scenes in my kitchen all controlled by Insteon switches. Daytime lighting, evening lighting and night lights. Using an Insteon motion sensor, from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, sense motion and turn on the Daytime Lights only. Then from 6:00 PM to Sunset sense motion and turn on the Evening lights only. When late night occurs, sense motion and only turn on the night lights from 11:00 PM to 6:00 AM the next day. I don't want the other scenes to turn on if it is not there time. If there is an ISY994i programming wizard out there that can show me how to do this, I would be so grateful.
