Try Help / Manage Modules or Purchase Modules. It might be available there. It might be credited under purchase modules? Paul

Try the airgap procedure to reset it and try again. If that doesn't work, factory reset the keypadlinc and do a restore device. I've had similar issues replacing PLMs Paul

Hi- Insteon switches can not participate in a traditional, non automated 3 way setup You'll need two insteon switches, one in each box to replicate a traditional 3 way setup Only one of them, in the box on the left, will physically control the light. Using the ISY admin console, you'll create a scene to make both insteon switches work in unison, they each turn the other on or off Wiring directions for this scenario with 2 insteon switches: RIght box and Insteon switch 1 Wire the insteon switch 1 on the right box to incoming black and white only, cap off the switches red and the red in the box Left box and insteon switch 2 Wire the white and black for insteon switch 2 to the incoming white/black show at the bottom of the box Wire the white leading to the lights to the same whites for incoming and switch 2 Wire the red from the insteon switch to the black leading to the lights Cap off the incoming red wire on the bottom As stated above, use the admin console to create a scene where both switched are controllers. this will cause the lights to use insteon to keep the switches in sync Paul

Nice! Thanks for the info Kevin. I want to install echo sometime this year and this is another good reason.

How long is the wire run from the switchlinc to the transformer? The problem is potentially transformer noise. I had a similar problem with some low voltage lighting transformers for halogen lights and yard lights. I used these to dampen the noise and that cured it in 3 different locations. Paul

You're welcome. After you set up your first one, its like riding a bike

Hi epete I'm not sure about the first problem. Go into the ISY Admin Console and look under the Portals tab,does it show you online? after you press refresh. I would try rebooting your ISY. The key does not get sent to IFTTT, you copy and paste it in the Maker channel in your recipes Where it says Disarmed above, use the event name you created under IFTTT Inbound Events in the ISY portal, using this format: Use your ISY Portal IFTTT generated key at the end You'll use the Action part of the maker channel, to cause the ISY to act from an IFTTT external trigger. No IFTTT generated key needed, just the ISY's. You'll use an network resource in the network module to trigger events from the ISY to make IFTTT Maker Triggers to affect something else. Paul

My firm doesn't allow java apps on its systems, so you may run into that hurdle. I was able to get it to work by using 4.a from the release page as written above, and downloading the admin console each time.

Hi Yes, you can. Have the MS's 'Send on Commands only. You can then remove the 'Set Scene on' statement. The scene will turn the lamp on right away, and your program will turn it off: If From Sunset - 1 hour To Sunrise + 31 minutes (next day) And ( Control 'Master Bed Sensor 1' is switched On Or Control 'Master Bed Sensor 2' is switched On ) Then Set Scene 'Master Bed LED' On Wait 1 minute Set Scene 'Master Bed LED' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action' EDIT: you'll need to put the If logic in parens as bolded above

CopyRon The only reason I can think of for keeping all Control (old) and Status (old) statements is if you think you would ever revert to a 4.x firmware version. The 4.x firmwares would only recognize the (old) versions and programs with any of the "new" 5.x features would need to be touched up as those "new" statements don't exist in 4.x. The only difference I've found between (old) and "new" is that for Keypadlincs and Smartenit's EZFlora; only the first device is available in the "new" Control and Status program statements. For instance, I only see the first key of a keypadlinc in the new Status and Control, and the first sprinkler zone of 8 zones of the Ezflora. The fix for this bug hasn't come in yet in 5.x, it remains in 5.04. FWIW, I've kept my Keypadlinc and Ezflora programs on Control (old) and Status(old), and moved everything else to the "new" versions. I'll move the rest when its addressed in a future version. Paul

I would suggest factory resetting the KPL, and then right-click on the keypad in admin console and select restore device. Then retest.

Someguy To get the admin java application on a system remotely, find the release you are using on the forums Select the release you are using and look at the first post from Michel for the release. Follow the directions under 4. a for either downloading or remotely loading the admin console. The launch the downloaded jnlp. Follow the directions from my first post from there Paul

This should work. I have keypad keys on several keypads that control an attic fan and dampers. The keys always reflect the on/off state whether a key or the ISY turns it on/off. The scene controls the buttons and devices. Can you post and image of your scene configuration from the admin console?

Hi someguy This one is tricky and this happened to me too. Here are the steps. Select and copy the long admin console access link (/desc) from the portal Startup the Admin Console on your remote system When the ISY Finder comes up, click "Add" and a box will pop up Paste in the long admin console link with /desc on the end into the box. Click save Double click on the link you just created in the finder As you already figured out, enter your portal credentials in the Admin Console "Authenticate ISY" login box It typically takes longer than usual for the admin console to fully start up. Sometimes a minute or 2 for me depending what remote network I'm on and also the upload speed you have with your ISP Paul

As Jon pointed out, IFTTT channels, including gmail, have a published 15 minute polling time. I typically don't see that long of a delay checking gmail by labels, usually its a couple of seconds to a few minutes. I get consistent 5 second response from gmail to pushover on the same account and messages, I know its not gmail or the service sending the email. I get the first echo message too, as I don't have an echo, but I did link my ISY to my amazon account. I ignore the message. I don't get the state variable message. If you are unable to do that, I would open a tick with UDI and see if they can assist setup. There are newer channel types called 'quick triggers', and that includes the email channel. I'm experimenting with it as a replacement for gmail, but it doesn't not appear to be as rich as gmail and has some limitations. Still looking for that. Paul

Marcin- Looks great. Quite jealous over here I'm thinking if took the money I sunk in custome KPL keys, I would have a good start on buying one of these things.... Paul

Yes, possibly. The "wander" on mine was quite a bit. It doesn't affect use of the door, however it was always a head scratcher why it would false trigger sometimes. I did an number of tests from inside and made marks on the header, and it was apparent that this was the problem. It was an easy fix and its not happened again. At its worse, the sensor was pretty far from the magnet. Paul

Hi I had a similar approach on the sensor and had similar results with the false triggering, but very infrequently. After looking at it, I found that the garage door "wandered" right to left during use. At certain points, the wandering to one side was enough to put the sensor at the edge of its reach from the magnet. I put a shim board on the side that let the garage door wander too far away from the sensor. I put it at an angle so as the door came down, it gently touch the board at the outside, and over a couple of feet nudged the door to the right spot. Here is a pic Hopefully this will work for you. If you go inside the garage and run a few cycles, you will see it happening and can make some marks for placement Paul (if you right click on the picture and open in new window, it will orient correctly)

mv I'm not sure total number of devices should matter. The writes go to a set of devices at a time. Can you provide a short narrative of one set of devices and related scenes.... here is an example I just did: 2 inline lincs, a light bulb and an iolinc 1 test scene 1 minute 30 seconds What kind of results are your getting?

Michaelv I moved from another system and rebuilt my links one functional group of devices at a time. Its relatively fast and I have a backup of everything. Scenes don't take that long for me to create.. Its <ctrl> click on devices and drag them into the scene, indicate which are controllers. Can you provide details on what part of that process is slow, eg the clicking and dragging, or the time it takes the ISY to write the updates? Paul

Hi Martin, welcome to the forums! The ISY uses an RJ45 style connector for both LAN and Serial, the PLM does too. A standard RJ45 LAN cable will work. The Port A is where the PLM is plugged in, the other port is for the network. No DB9 is used with the ISY. What I would suggest is look at this link which is the wiki. Right at the top is the quickstart guide, that will walk you through initial set up, step by step. Then, a few links down is the complete & comprehensive guide for all the details. We're here on the forum for more detailed questions. What are you planning to filter with the filterlincs? Your power has 2 legs, that need to be bridged so the signal is available on both. Probably one of your appliance lincs will be on the opposite leg, but it will be best to first plug both appliancelincs in their intended home, and run the test page 10 of the appliancelinc manual Paul

Paul, no. Are you on central time? It was 4:01am for me on ET. Paul

That lines up with mine Michael, my 4:01am et would be your 3:01am ct Paul
