Michel: I was luck and never purchased any of the SignalLincs. I've tried distances from 6 inches to 20 feet. Yes, accesspoints show activity with remotelinc. In fact, even after mutiple factory resets the all lights on and off buttons still control lights in that room but the individual buttons do not work. As I mentioned, this particular RL has always been tempermental but within 10 minutes I could get it to communicate. It is more like that even though I press and hold buttons until it blinks to say in linking mode -- it is not in linking mode. I'll just buy replacement if I can find one. My wife hates the RemoteLinc2 and I was not impressed either. Thanks, Paul

Lee. Yes I'm using dim& bright and have Replaced batteries.

I have a Remotelinc that is 3 to 4 years old and has always been very temperamental about going into linking mode so I can program it. I've always just tried a several times and it would eventually work. But tonight after replacing PLM, I can't get the d%^& thing to talk to ISY. Are there any tricks others have discovered? I placed it near an access point that just flawlessly updated two other Remotelincs.

medicmjc, it worked like a charm! The ISY product, support, customer service, ongoing updates, and UD in general are the very best. User community is very knowledgable and always ready with quick help -- doesn't get any better. Thanks

I just completed PLM replace and the only device refusing to be updated is a morninglinc v.3A. When it refused to restore initally and after several attempts to write update, I did factory reset on MorningLinc (held set button 10 seconds while and after plugging in) and then selected Restore Device. May have made things worse since in thinking about it I'm guessing the original PLM link replacement "commands" are still in queue to be written. What should I do now?

Www.lightdims.com are great!

Thanks.

I was having an issue (did not work) with a scene that was controlled by RemoteLinc. I removed the RemoteLinc button from the scene. Next I reset RemoteLinc to factory defaults and then restored it (ISY Restore Device). Before I put it back in scene I wanted to confirm -- is following normal for On button press of an unlinked button on RemoteLinc?

Random. Has happened twice in last week and a half.

Per original posts at start of thread, the issue still exists with 3.3.10 -- maybe I'll still get to swap thermostat adapters again . I don't have detailed logs but still have program running that looks for the condition. Log entries below: Master Suite / Master Bedroom:Thermostat Heat Setpoint 168â–‘ Thu 2013/03/07 11:13:21 AM System Log Master Suite / Master Bedroom:Thermostat Status Queryâ–‘ Thu 2013/03/07 11:13:21 AM Program Log Master Suite / Master Bedroom:Thermostat Heat Setpoint 40â–‘ Thu 2013/03/07 11:13:25 AM System Log Master Suite / Master Bedroom:Thermostat Status Queryâ–‘ Thu 2013/03/07 11:13:26 AM Program Log What can I provide so we can find the issue?

I have a Honeywell whole house humidifier that is part of a two zone HVAC system. The humidifier is controlled by a Vanstar thermostat with humidity control option. It signals the humidifier and turns on the HVAC fan as required for Zone 1. In order to have fan in zone 2 be "on" (damper open to both zones), I installed a relay hooked to an IOLinc that detects when the humidifer is called for so IOLinc sends singal to ISY program that sets fan to "ON" or "Auto" on zone 2s thermostat. Is that clear as mud? The issue I noticed is that as the humidity nears the set point the humidifier cycles off and on in 3 or 4 minutes cycles and hence so does the HVAC fan. So to prevent short cycling, I changed the simple program that controls the fan to include a 20 minute wait before it sets Fan Mode to "Auto". Thoughts or suggestions? Thanks If Status 'Crawl Space / Crawl Space:Humidifier Sensor' is On Then Set 'Master Suite / Master Bedroom:Thermostat' Fan On Else Wait 20 minutes Set 'Master Suite / Master Bedroom:Thermostat' Fan Auto

Thanks. I checked PLM count few weeks ago and many links left so I just did a restore device for each switch and it fixed problem. Do we know why device links go missing and/or corrupted?

I have a scene in bathroom that controls 3 lights. There are 4 realays. Two of them are in a scene as controllers for 1 light and the other two relays control one light each. Of those two other relays, one is also controller of a scene that turns all bathroom lights on so it is a load only for one light and scene controller for a scene at same time. Other three switches are responders to all lights scene. So to turn on only light above bathtub means turn on that switch and then turning off two others (not a problem). The problem is that turning on/off the all lights scene does not register any lights as on/off at the ISY but doing a query updates scene and all switches to correct state. Turned on event viewer at level 3 and it shows no activity when all lights scene is turned on/off. Also turning off a single switch for single control light in same room does noy register with ISY. Other than showing incorrect status not a big deal since nothing is controlled by their state. However, what should I do to diagonse and then correct. The switches all instantly respond to all switches scene command but none of them update isy and yet I can query them.

Thanks.

I've been getting the message in image since I moved to using mutiple user accounts on Windows 7 -- admin and user. I log in as user account to make PC more secure by requiring admin password be typed rather than simple select Yes at User Access Control. Especially since family / friends kids use while visiting. I've tried creating the console link in both user and admin accounts and get same results. Also, I've selected run as adminsitrator but then I have to type admin password eacch time (which may not be bad idea). Regardless, what have I missed that would keep this message from being required? Thanks

I want to create programs to set LED levels for day and night and have a mixture of KeypadLincs, Relays, and Dimmers from a few Firmware levels. Would someone post a simple example of how they handle this. MY simple asssumption is that it is just programs with a long list of set commands for each device triggered at sunrise and sunset but wanted to see what others with more knowledge had already accomplished. Thanks

Thanks. I should have searched.

Has anyone seen the following. Looks very slick. Albeit expensive and not bright enough for my tastes. http://www.newscenter.philips.com/main/ ... ps-hue.wpd

FWIW, it doesn't have to be IR device. Plasma and LCD TVs are a big source of IR interference (doesn't make sense to me they would "generate" specific IR commands but I've seen stranger) and they do not have to be line of sight. I had to buy a Xantech Plasma Proof IR receiver several years ago to correct a problem with a TV sitting on top of a closed equipment cabinet.

Having to replace and wondered if I teach new one IR commands in same order as old Can I use replace function on IRLincTx device? Only have 12 commands and 5 of those used in simple scenes so no big deal to manually switch out. Thanks

Michel and Staff: Simply put... Your products, support, and customer service (should say partner since it would be more descriptive of relationship) are World Class. Paul

Finished installing a couple days ago and just in case it will help anyone else... The HVAC people had installed a SPST relay. I measured small voltages from the humidifier contacts and the IOLinc sensor contacts. Didn't want these voltages to interfere so I replaced relay with a SPNO/SPNC (SPDT would work) version. When 24VAC is sent from Venstar thermostat SPNC relay contacts are opened and SPNO contacts are closed. The closed set (SPNO) turns on the humidifier and the open set(SPNC) is wired to IOLinc. Simple program logic is: if IOLinc Sensor = Off master bedroom thermostat fan mode = On else master bedroom thermostat fan mode =Auto

Happy Holidays! Given the thoroughness and quality of your product and staff, I consider that one hell of a compliment.

I've got a HVAC unit controlled by a multizone controller -- in my case a main living area zone and a master bedroom zone. The main living area thermostat has a humidity sensor and controls large central humidifier. When humidity is needed the thermostat signals the humidifier to turn on and turns the fan on for that zone. The humidfier runs almost full time during cold weather so I turn fan mode of master bedroom thermostat to On. This method ensures humidified air is sent to both zones of unit. However, during late fall and late winter, the humidifer runs alot less. Finally decided to program so master bedroom fan is only set to On mode when humidifier is running. I've confirmed the Venstar thermostat with Insteon attachment does not send a Fan ON state or mode to ISY when it is turned on as a result of request for humidity. I've reviewed low voltage wiring between Honeywell HVAC controller and humidifier. HVAC person used a low voltage (24V) AC wire from Honeywell HVAC multizone control unit to control a standalone relay and wires from that relay act as Dry Contact so that closed state is humidifer on and open state is humidifer off. My first guess is to install an IOLinc in series with the wire controlling humidifier and have IOLinc send open/closed state to ISY program which will set master bedroom thermostat fan mode (including ignoring if an Override is set via KeypadLinc button). Anyone else have similar setup or otherwise have suggestions? BTW and FWIW, I remember that HVAC person had to call Honeywell to arrive at this configuration for controlling humidifier with Venstar thermostat. Thanks
