I have the INSTEON 74551 Garage Door Control and Status Kit on my two garage doors. I also have a program that sends out an alert if the garage door is left open for 30 minutes. Twice I have gotten this message at exactly 3:30 in the morning. In each case, the status of the garage door shows up as open, yet the door is closed. In each case, it was a different garage door. Opening and closing the garage door resolves the issue. Any thoughts? The fact that the door status changed at exactly 0300 in both cases doesn't seem like a coincidence.

MobiLinc was correct. The problem was with the program. This must have been an artifact of me removing the sensor and then re-adding it without modifying the sensor monitored by the program (I'm guessing that it was basically an invalid reference at this time). When I updated the sensor (basically selecting the sensor with the same name) in the variable control programs it resolved the problem.

That makes sense and I plan to address this. Interestingly enough I did run for 3 months with no issues, but perhaps I installed something that impacts the RF performance.

Interestingly enough according to MobiLinc everything is AOK. Is it possible that my program is somehow not connected with the correct sensors given the deletes and adds that I performed? Or is the MobiLinc status incorrect?

I will do that this weekend after I install the range extender. Meanwhile as of this morning I have missed heartbeats from both of the remote sensors. I'll see what's going on tonight.....

So would the INSTEON 2992-222 Range Extender be a good investment?

Clearly not as good now that they have been moved: Sun 11/30/2014 10:58:06 AM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 2E.14.DF 00.00.02 C7 11 02 LTONRR (02) Sun 11/30/2014 10:58:06 AM : [std-Group ] 2E.14.DF-->Group=2, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=1 Sun 11/30/2014 10:58:06 AM : [D2D EVENT ] Event [2E 14 DF 2] [DON] [2] uom=0 prec=-1 Sun 11/30/2014 10:58:06 AM : [ 2E 14 DF 2] DON 2 Sun 11/30/2014 10:58:06 AM : [D2D EVENT ] Event [2E 14 DF 2] [sT] [255] uom=0 prec=-1 Sun 11/30/2014 10:58:06 AM : [ 2E 14 DF 2] ST 255 Sun 11/30/2014 10:58:06 AM : [D2D EVENT ] Event [2E 14 DF 1] [sT] [0] uom=0 prec=-1 Sun 11/30/2014 10:58:06 AM : [ 2E 14 DF 1] ST 0 Sun 11/30/2014 10:58:06 AM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 2E.14.DF 00.00.02 CB 11 02 LTONRR (02) Sun 11/30/2014 10:58:06 AM : [std-Group ] 2E.14.DF-->Group=2, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=2 Sun 11/30/2014 10:58:06 AM : [iNST-DUP ] Previous message ignored.

Thanks for your help Lee. Does the (04) indicate the comm status? If not, how can you tell?

I have successfully added all 4 leak sensors. This is a new record. May call Guinness. I'm thinking I will move two of the sensors to their remote locations and leave the other two near the PLM in order to see if I have an RF connectivity issue.

OK - I did that. It seemed to work. During that add of the one leak sensor it detected a second, but that failed to add (presumably because I had not engaged the set button) Here is the event trace.

No. I have switches, dimmer, thermostat and garage door status.

PLM is v9B. I just purchased this back in May. The ISY is running 4.0.5. Should I upgrade to 4.2.18? Honestly, I'm probably not going to unplug every electrical device in my house. The PLM and ISY are not plugged into a surge detector and I have good communication with all of my hardwired Insteon devices with the exception of the leak sensors.

Well - I'm not having any luck with the water sensors. I purchased a 3rd sensor and added it into the mix and I replaced one of the existing sensors with the newly purchased sensor. Then I did the factory reset on the deleted sensor and used it to replace the other "dead" sensor. This worked for about a month and once again the old sensor died. I decide to give this one last try and purchased yet another sensor (I now have 4, yet need only 2). This time I couldn't get the new sensor added. Then when I tried restore device on the new sensor I lost contact with the other sensor. So now I have no working sensors (3 of which are in the same room as the PLM). Meanwhile, the entire procedure when adding a water sensor to my ISY is flaky. More than once, the device I am attempting to add doesn't show up until AFTER I reboot the ISY. This happened to me even when I did the successful installation of the original 2 devices. I guess I am going to abandon the entire water sensor endeavor. All of the devices which are hardwired (dimmers, switches, garage door status/control, themostat) are working great.

Well - I finally tried this and I got a "Cannot Communicate" with the water sensor error. How does communication with the ISY actually work? I assume the water sensor communicates directly with the ISY and not through the PowerLinc Modem. Is that correct? If not, perhaps I should reset the modem.

Thanks - I will give that a try this weekend.

I tried the test with the leak sensor in the same room as the PLM. Should I try deleting and adding the sensor? I was reticent to do this as I was thinking it would cause a problem with the program.

Not a thing. The green led flashes once when I tap the set button, but nothing is displayed on the event viewer. Just to make sure I wasn't screwing the pooch, I pressed the up/down buttons on my thermostat and I got some data.

I am using the program from another forum thread to monitor my water sensors. After running flawlessly, I have ended up with a situation where both of my water sensors are missing their heartbeats (I get notification at 9am and 6pm). As I understand it, the device sends one ping per day. Both devices (which are about 4 months old) stop heartbeating at roughly the same time. I tried rebooting the ISY-994i and that did not correct the problem. What's the proper way to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance.

Swapped the switches and the problem was fixed as predicted. Thanks again for your help!

Thanks - I will give that a try tomorrow.

Not sure I follow, but here is an attempt to answer your question. If I start with the lights off the and press and hold the dimmer the leds do slowly go up, but the lights never turn on.

I had an electrician here doing work so I had him wire the switches. I'll check with him in the morning. Hopefully that is the issue.

ISY-994i, 3-way switch, 2477S, and 2477D. I added both devices to a scene as controllers. Dimming does not work for the scene or manually via the dimmer. I am able to turn the lights on and off from the scene and manually using either switch. The lights are incandescent. So what did I do wrong?
