Thanks, it should work (cant remember ... do I create the new scene to include the D button as a controller or responder to that scene). I've used this method for other simple scenes but situation this covers multiple scenes and has always worked so I've always had it as shown. Did it become not possible to have program as originally written at some point?

I've got two programs to 1)turn on or 2) Turn off all lights based on turning on/off a keypad button or sending one of two IR codes shown below (already changed to reflect change from Keypad A to D) : If IR 'IR_013' is Pressed Or Control 'Master Suite / Master Bedroom:Keypad - D' is switched On Then Run Program 'Whole House:All Lights' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') If IR 'IR_014' is Pressed Or Control 'Master Suite / Master Bedroom:Keypad - D' is switched Off Then Run Program 'Whole House:All Lights' (Else Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') If IR codes are sent then, I had been turning on keypad button (redundant if button started process but was never an issue) . Today I wanted to move keypad button but can not keep same method. Current Whole House:All Lights program below has worked for 3 or 4 years: If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'Master Suite / Master Bedroom:Keypad - A' 100% Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Whole House / Whole House:Main Floor Scene' 100% Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Whole House / Whole House:2nd Floor Scene' 100% Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Whole House / Whole House:Outside Scene' 100% Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Whole House / Whole House:Basement Scene' 100% Else Set 'Master Suite / Master Bedroom:Keypad - A' Off Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Whole House / Whole House:Main Floor Scene' Off Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Whole House / Whole House:2nd Floor Scene' Off Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Whole House / Whole House:Outside Scene' Off Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Whole House / Whole House:Basement Scene' Off However if I simply update to select Keypad - D on same Keypadlinc then 100% and Off are not options to select for action. It looks like following by default and list of actions that are just many combinations backlight level. What has changed since original program written and what do I need to do to accommodate? If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'Master Suite / Master Bedroom:Keypad - D' On 0 / Off 0 (Backlight Level) Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Whole House / Whole House:Main Floor Scene' 100% Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Whole House / Whole House:2nd Floor Scene' 100% Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Whole House / Whole House:Outside Scene' 100% Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Whole House / Whole House:Basement Scene' 100% Else Set 'Master Suite / Master Bedroom:Keypad - D' On 0 / Off 0 (Backlight Level) Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Whole House / Whole House:Main Floor Scene' Off Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Whole House / Whole House:2nd Floor Scene' Off Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Whole House / Whole House:Outside Scene' Off Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Whole House / Whole House:Basement Scene' Off

Just in case anyone researching... Following is simpler and better solution -- example of when tempeatrure rises above freezing point. If Control 'Attic / Attic:Temperature Sensor' is switched Off And Control 'Attic / Attic:Temperature Sensor' is not switched On Then Wait 10 minutes Send Notification to 'JPaulText' content 'Attic Temperature Above Freeze Dectected' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Add lines set thermostat out of override mode run program to set temp based on time of day same as at boot time

Xanthros that's what I thought we had including pressure gauge in garage but based on neighbor issues is not. To be honest I'm taking extra precautions until I can fully understand what was installed which I should have already done.

Xanthros, I've got watch point higher than freezing so not am issue. Larryllix, this is temporary until I can get qualified sprinkler firm to add insulation or heat coil as you suggested. No way to run water based on what I've researched and been told.

After thinking about what I want to accomplish in longer term -- would following be simpler and better? FREEZING if sensor is switched on Wait 10 -30 minutes ( will experiment to see how long it takes mechanical temp device to settle) Send notification Set thermostat to desired higher temp set variable that locks out changes to thermostats to locked state ABOVE FREEZING if sensor is switched off Wait 10 -30 minutes Send notification set variable that locks out changes to thermostats to unlocked state run a program that sets temp based on time of day etc (same on that runs at reboot)

Thanks and that works great -- when in doubt break ISY programs into component parts. Like I mentioned, too cold for me to reason!

I've got one of the IOLinc combinations with the Temperature sensors. I've configured it to let me know if attic temp gets low since we have fire sprinkler system and contractor did not insulate pipes well enough for recent low temps -- several neighbors have had burst pipes. At this point, I manually raise the heat setpoint setting for upstairs HVAC unit (keeps attic about 36 degrees) but will eventually make that part of program. (will add insulation when a licensed sprinkler contractor has time) Problem is I never seem to get beyond the fact that once ISY programs start that they will terminate based events impacting their If section. In this case, the temperature sensor bounces back and forth as it reaches trigger point so lots of text messages are generated which lead me to the following that I know will not work. Of course, at first bounce it re-evaluates and the program stays disabled forever. I know what is needed and is represented in program below but how do I do this with ISY logic. Certain it means creating multiple programs but too cold to reason it out today. Help BTW there is an almost identical program for the temperature rising above freeze point. If Control 'Attic / Attic:Temperature Sensor' is switched On Then Send Notification to 'JPaulText' content 'Attic Temperature Below Freeze Warning' Disable Program 'Attic:Temperature Below Freeze Warning' Wait 30 minutes Enable Program 'Attic:Temperature Below Freeze Warning' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I was on vacation several weeks ago attempting to connect to home router and Chrome did not like my self-signed certificate (on router not ISY). I want to move forward with an SSL certificate for the CISCO router and thought I'd consider getting one to be utilized with ISY. This is an area where I have very little knowledge. Please provide advice on all aspects of what and from whom I should purchase.

Not to high jack thread but .... How are you interfacing with HD rf remote? I built a kit that closes a relay upon receipt of IR code. I've considered using insteon controlled relays but this gets very expensive and needs lots of space to control 12 relays.

I just replaced a defective Keypadlinc that was linked to 4 lamplincs, overhead light, remotelinc, and associated scenes. All I can say is thank you Michel and UDI team for support and giving us the ISY!

Got an email from smarthome with devices from following link mentioned -- they mention ISY. Anyone planning to try them? I'm interested in the temperature sensor. http://www.smarthome.com/69532/Cao-Gadg ... ler/p.aspx http://www.smarthome.com/69531/Cao-Gadg ... Tag/p.aspx

Thanks. That's what I thought but wanted expert opinion.

Lee, thanks for module. I will order it. To be clear, My underlying question is do you think many av devices could randomly generate insteon traffic?

My media room has all AV devices for house that are rack mounted and routed via cat 6 to other rooms. A Mid Atlantic power strip provides power for all of devices and the strip is plugged into a noise filter. Right next to it is the ISY (routed IR is attached to it from AV Rack) with about a 15 ft cat6 cable to PLM (get if away from RF interference) PLM is plugged into an extension cord that is plugged into separate outlet right next to power strip noise filter. The two outlets are supposed to be on separate breakers but I've never tested. The outlet that power strip is plugged in is shared circuit between other AV locactions in house to reduce likelihood of ground loops -- but I digress. The HDMI matrix switcher sometimes needs full power cycle to get all back in sync (EDID issues) but it is plugged into MA power strip and so insteon path is blocked. I've been waiting for an appliancelinc with RF so I could plug it into power strip on noisy side of noise filer. Since the Dual band applianclinc has never arrived, I am considering using appliancelinc and accesspoint to create my own. First, would/could this cause trouble by generating phantom RF insteon traffic based on what it might hear from all those devices? Secondly, thoughts on other methods to accomplish this?

Looking at thermostat screen is how I arrived at the phantom and bad set point naming scheme. Phantom is in log, corrected by query, but not displayed on thermostat. Bad are in log, not corrected by query, and is displayed on thermostat.

Michel: I replaced thermostat adapters with Rev 2.5 (firmware v.95) and the issue still occurs. From the original posting and what I've seen recently, it appears the adapter may be corrupting the setpoints when it receives a command to change mode from ISY. Originally it was setting thermostat mode and this time we've added fan mode. In following log, the repeats that are 10 seconds apart of setting fan mode existed as insurance but I've removed them. Thanks, Paul

I assumed it worked so we are done.

I'm replacing 3 thermostat adapters. As I remember, it is best to turn thermostat to off mode and link using the new insteon device, key in address, and auto discovery of type. What I don't rememberer is does replace device work well with thermostat adapters? Thanks

It just worked. Go figure.

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?
