Is the keypad main button also in this scene, as a controller?

If the leds on the IOLincs are not responding to a change in sensor state, then I would begin to suspect a hardware issue. It could be wiring. It could be the relay itself. It could be the IOLinc. You could eliminate the iolinc from consideration by shorting the sensor terminals and see if the iolinc led changes state. I am finding it hard to believe that this happened simutaneoulsy on three iolincs. Any electrical storms lately?

Is the LED showing sensor state still reponding as you expect? The ability to talk to the relay does not, in my mind, guarantee the ability to hear the sensor. There are only a couple of things that I can think that might cause this problem...a communication problem, or a hardware failure. I suppose it may be possible that a corrupt link database may be a possible cause, so it may not hurt anything to perform a "restore device" from this ISY.

I believe it represents a communication problem with that device. Have you tried to make any changes to the device? Scenes? Links? If so, try again to write those changes.

Try something like (syntax not exact): If Status of IOLinc is on Then Wait 10 minutes Send sms notification Else

Your program will trigger upon any change of state of your sensor, regardless of the variable. Whether it triggers off the variable depends on whether it is a state or integer,

I still think device malfunction is a posssibility.

Program looks good to me. I would consider other possible causes. Symptom suggest THEN path cause change in status of one of your conditions. Do you have any x10 addresses in use? Are any of these devices in other programs? Perhaps watching the event viewer when you trigger one of your problem devices would yield a clue.

While I read that you had installed a new paddle, the though did not cross my mind that this could be a potential cause of your problems. Good catch. Hopefully, that is the source of your problems and that it is easily remedied.

. Oftentimes, when manual scene commands work but programs or commands from ISY or mobilinc don't, it is because of problems communicating with the PLM. I would consider this possibility first. This sounds to me like either a wiring problem, or a device failure. Don't assume that a professional electrician understand how to wire insteon switches. I don't know how comfortable you are with electrical wiring, but I would be pulling that particular paddle out and checking wiring.

In addition. Any light, keypad button (load controlling or otherwise) , or module that you want to go on or off in response to your ALL scene should be included as responders. Yes, exactly. I tend to agree with this, which is why I recommended looking at causes other than scene definition.

first, no more "mashing". All scene creation should be done via ISY admin panel. Once created, just use the switches to turn off/on the scenes. Create one more scene...the two KPL main buttons would be controllers. All other devices you want to come on (including other KPL buttons) in response to the KPL main buttons would be added as responders.

I thought I would post a quick reply, without spending a lot of time studying your post... I don't think one can create conflicting scenes. If a device is already a controller of one scene, the ISY will not let you add it as a controller in a second scene. Devices can be responder to many scenes, but this would not create the symptoms you describe. I would be considering the following possibilities: a) is the load on the various switchlincs causing a problem? Are these loads something other than a simple incandescent light, operating on 120VAC? possible wiring problems? c) communication problems. d) do you have any programs involving these devices?

I have not used the IR portion of the ISY-994 (however I have used the IRLinc). For this reason I was hesitant to respond to this question. Unfortunately, I see others were equally hesitant, so I will not let ignorance get in the way in this case. Does not the ISY IR capability let you add a device command like a learning remote? How many buttons do you need the ISY to recognize in order to give you the control you need? Half a dozen? Would it be a simple matter to train the ISY for the specific buttons you wish to use for lighting control?

I normally associate this "croos link" expression to the manual (using button or paddle presses) process of linking devices to each other. To be sure, have you define a scene in the ISY including the button and microlinc as "controller"? If you cross-linked these manually, then you need to clear this and create the ISY scene. I cannot help with the REST interface, but suspect the concepts are the same as that for the admin panel. When you want multiple devices in a scene to track the same status, one must send commands to the scene, rather than to a device in the scene (even if that device is a controller). From the admin panel, choose the scene in which you created (or should have created...see response, above) to cross-link the devices. Turn that scene on/off. Observe KPL status following microlinc.

Your originally-stated problem was that one of your lights "turns on at other times". The problem quoted above is a different problem, possibly from a different cause. Are you still getting the one light turning on at other times?

On this point, I have the understanding that these CAN coexist. Whether there is a single controller that speaks all four "languages" is another issue.

I think you will find that these need to be defined as controllers, rather than responders. Regarding the switch ON levels, remember that such levels can be defined differently, depending on controller device is invoking the scene. For example, when controlling the scene via the ISY, they could be one level. When controlled via a switch, they could be at a different level. In you program, make sure you are setting the ON levels when the switch is acting as controller. I hope this is sufficiently intuitive, since I forget how that command appears, or how it is created.

I claim no special abilities to read these logs, but it appears to me that something is causing your ramp rates and ON levels to change. I cannot help but continue to suspect there is some program somewhere that is causing this to happen. I also see a "fast" command in there. I don't know how this would happen other than by direct physical activation or a program. I know you have "combed" through the scenes, but select the device in question from your device tree. At the right side of that page is a view showing in which scenes that device is a controller and responder. Double check to see that there are none.

While I cannot help with the hub app, I have been experimenting around with the integration of tasker with mobilinc. One thing this allows is the creation of a widget which, with a single button press, allow you to send a command to a device, send a command to a scene, or trigger a program. Perhaps this may help with your (and my) concerns about having too many button presses to execute an action. Of course, this works only with android.

Possibly. Make sure that, from the app, you are turning on the scene.

As further confirmation of LeeG's response, I just tried manually sending OFF command to a motion sensor. Can't do it. I created a test program to send an OFF command to a sensor. Did not work. I cannot think of a way to have a sensor go from ON to OFF other than having the sensor send this command.

I had an issue with my morning industries lockset that may (or may not) be related to yours. I started getting intermittent response to pushes to keypad buttons. Sometimes you would hear the faint beep on each button press...other times not. Sometimes you would get the multiple beeps when pressing the unlock button (after entering the correct combination). It turns out that this problem was solved by reseating a little connector inside the lockset. In case you don't remember (I didn't), when you install the lockset, there is a little connector between the interior and exterior parts of the lock set. I assume a bit of corrosion had set in on that connector and that reseating this connector re-established continuity. Regardless, my lockset was NOT working, now it IS WORKING. It took about three minutes and a phillips screwdriver. You might give it a try if you run into this problem again.

For me, my choice of wait or second program depends on duration mostly. If a couple of seconds, I would be more inclined to use a wait. If on order of hours, I would use a second program. Other factors also come into play...powerfailure during wait...conditions that can be retriggered by THEN statements...etc.... All other things being equal, it is a style issue in my mind. Unfortunately, things are rarely equal.

Emphasis on "some". Yes, this can be done. "Blinking" lights is not an inherent insteon capability, but an ISY program can be set up to simulate this, to some degree. Besides the obvious (ISY, mini remote, various insteon switches and modules), I consider two access points and a couple of filters to be near-universally required for any insteon setup beyond a couple of switches. The rest is wholly dependent on what you intend to control and how your house is wired.
