And just to close the loop. The lights staying on was a programming error. Picked the wrong node of the door sensor to adjust the levels. Turns out it was the open node not closed. Doh! And thanks to everyone that offered help! I appreciate it. Jeff

I am not controlling an outlet. The lamplinc is plugged in using the plug on the back (male) into an electrical receptacle. That receptacle is a gfci. The lamp with an led bulb is plugged into the bottom electrical plug (female) of the lamplinc. I can't think of any other way to state I am not controlling an electrical outlet. In fact I can't think of any other to use the lampinc other than the method I am using. There are no switches or dimmers or any other such thing on this circuit. Sorry for the confusion. Jeff

Sorry. That was the incorrect term. It is a lamplinc plugged into a gfci outlet. I will check my programming because it was on again tonight. Jeff

Well everything was working well until I got home last night. The door was open but the light was on. It is a dimmerlinc on a gfci controlling a lamp with an led bulb. Thoughts? Comm issues?

Larry, that is exactly what I wasn't grasping. I just didn't put together selecting the controller outside of the scene. Thanks. Lee, sorry I didn't understand what you meant. Jeff

Lee, Still trying to figure out how to post the pic of my tree. Here are my laundry related programs: Change on level based on time: LaundryLampNight - [iD 001D][Parent 0001] If From Sunset - 30 minutes To 8:00:00AM (next day) Then In Scene 'Laundry Room / LaundryLamp-On' Set 'Laundry Room / Dimmer.LR' 1% (On Level) Run Program 'LaudryLampReset' (If) Else In Scene 'Laundry Room / LaundryLamp-On' Set 'Laundry Room / Dimmer.LR' 100% (On Level) Run Program 'LaudryLampReset' (If) Program to reset scene if on at a changeover time: LaudryLampReset - [iD 001F][Parent 0001][Not Enabled] If Status 'Laundry Room / Dimmer.LR' is not Off Then Set Scene 'Laundry Room / LaundryLamp-Off' On Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Laundry Room / LaundryLamp-On' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') What I have found is if I select the "DoorClose.LR" in the LaundryLamp-On scene the on level for the dimmer never changes. It does change when I select the scene "LaundryLamp-On". I know to copy the scene attributes to the controller but I cant figure out how to accomplish via program. I know it is a term you are using that I am not grasping! Jeff

I'm not home now but I will paste the program later. I thought that is what I did. And there was only on potion to select in the scene. Jeff

Ok. New issue. The above programs change the on level of the dimmer in the scene but not in the Door sensor that is the controller of the scene. So even though the scene shows the correct on level when the door sensor activated the scene the light comes on to the wrong level. Jeff

Thanks for all your help. I ended up adding a disabled program to both the then and else branches. It checks in status and turns on if already on. Jeff

Wouldn't that force the light on no matter whether it was already on our not?

Great idea Lee. Follow up? I have a program that adjusts the dimmer on level based on time of day. However if the light is already on it does not adjust until the next off on cycle. How can I force the change even if the light is already on?

I just received my first hidden door sensor. I would like it to turn a light on when the door is closed. I split the sensor into the double option and added the door closed node to a scene that has a lamplinc dimmer as the reponder. The scene works fine when the door shuts and the node turns on. However, whent he door opens and the node turns off, the scene does not turn off. I gues there is something I am missing. Will I have to accomplish this via program, or can it be done in a scene? Thanks, Jeff

IRule is all local though easily accessed through VPN. At least in so far as using ip to ir tech. Such as itachs and global cache.

Chrishick, the iRule part of this is no problem but I have never messed with other ways to access the isy. Where would be a good place to start learning? Are you using rest command it?

I did not think if the conditional usage to change text color. Great idea. Are the rest just buttons? The isy add in graphics are static and not changeable I thought. Programming does not scare me

Where are you getting this graphics for iRule? I only see basic images. And the color coded words? I must be missing something.

I am having the exact same issue. As the batteries drain the com becomes less reliable for me. Also, Michael told me all battery (not wired) will generally have difficulty responding to query. He recommended an extender that has beaming capability to help with the issues. I have 2 motion/temp sensors that have the same problem.

Michael, Thank you. That worked, although I thought I had also cleared the cache even though I didn't post that. I must not have.

Today, I got a notification 12 hours off from when the program should have run (11PM). I logged in to the admin console and selected the IOLinc controller to check its settings. However, the flag when yellow in the bottom left corner and changed from "ready" to "system busy" and the console locked up. I closed, restarted and the same thing occured. I noticed my Z-Wave lock had changed from a lock to an insteon light. I closed restarted and the same. The lock was showing "100%" in the brightness box. there was no lock or status box. Any thoughts why my system is locked up or what I can do? I am relatively new to ISY/insteon. Thanks, Jeff
