Interesting thank you. Looks like it was designed to control the HVAC but I could simply use it to achieve the threshold alerts. I am going to explore both options above and deploy something quickly. Thanks again

My HVAC system is pretty intense geo, humidifier, multiple zones. Its great stat with wifi access and a ton of other features. just no temp notifications that I can see. Still looking thanks everyone for chiming in this morning.

I am on it thank you, I am not willing to change out my stat. Will look at the thread you suggested next.

I will find that poll soon enough. Do you know of another device that will do what I am asking and work with my UDI device?

I am confused where is the poll? Are you saying it has been supported? If not what is the solution to achieving threshold notifications.

I just purchased the Insteon Energy Display with thermostat and I am disappointed this device is not supported. I am nto pointing fingers just looking for a solution for temp threshold. For example if the temp drops below X or above X it would trigger an event like email notification. Please help me understand my options. Bummer looks like this device is worthless.

that app seems to be the highest recommended. Some folks are saying it is subscription based. Do you pay monthly ?

Thank you, do you have a recommendation for an inline filter? What APP are you using

I have made some real progress with nearly every light turned on the in house I have everything responding. Occasionally there are a 2 that take an extra second in the query. I have replaced some of the CFL bulbs w/ LED's.When I query the ISY it usually brings up the query system box for a second. Which I think tells me there is still room for improvement. I'm going to have to sell a kidney to buy the next batch of bulbs. What are my options if I still have noise or com issues. Are there filters of sorts that can be be placed within the lines? Maybe if I replaced a problematic switch with an insteon switch it would eliminate the noise in the line? I bought OSRAM Ultra LED bulbs. Not exactly sure what the noise is but I believe it exist, when I pass close to like a 20 FT fluro its picked up by my aids. I always listen closely hoping for ALIEN communication. I'm going to order a few additional switches, modules and keep experimenting. I will report back again shortly with an update. Thanks for your help. Richard

I am getting frustrated, I have tried so many different things and communication fails when I query certain device and one device still will not setup. I typed the above early this morning. I pulled myself away ran a few miles in the sleet, smoked a J and I am back at it again. I now have 4 range extenders and the PLM and ISY are located in the closet w/ the rest of my world. With everything turned off in the house I was even able to add the one switch that would never respond. All devices respond pretty good at this point. I skipped over the comment above about unplugging everything and slowly adding back thinking we don't have anything to unplug. I gave near everything we own to charity when we moved into the new home. I applied that logic to switches on the walls and presto I am able to isolate a few things interfering with the communication. In the case of the Family Room Outlet, if I turn an overhead ceiling fan light on it stops responding. The ceiling fan has 4 CFL bulbs in it In the case of the Master Bedroom Lights if I turn the bedroom closet light on it does not respond. 2 fixtures and 4 CFL bulbs in it. In the case of the Loft Lights if I turn on the lighting above the kitchen island (same circuit) they stop responding. 3 fixtures and 3 CFL bulbs here With the same Loft Lights if I turn on the lighting in laundry (same circuit) they respond slow occasionally timing out. 1 fixture 2 LED bulbs. I am about to replace a number of CFL bulbs w./ LED's I am really hoping this improves performance. Think it will work? If it doesn't work what are my options? It should be noted I did establish the link between 2 range extenders on opposite phases. Moved up on the breaker box with on opposite phases for the other two range extenders. Still no suggestions on an APP ?

I am back and wanted to updated and hopefully get some additional advice. I have deployed 2 range extenders and relocated the PLM / ISY device to another area. Out of the 5 Insteon modules I have 4 of them that seem to function pretty well. I have 1 device that I just can not communicate with. I have tried numerous locations relocating the range extenders. What is the next step everyone would take on this device? searched and there is no AC outlet on this circuit, I was going to have the electrician add one and buy another range extender. Thoughts ? The switch not being detected is tied or runs along another line that is for some fluorescent overhead lights. Does the range extender amplify the signal in the outlet AND also communicate via RF with other range extenders? What about an APP, I am not reading there is one that wants to charge a monthly fee. Can I add more than 2 range extenders? How can I get the ISY and PLM back into the server closest. The last time I had it in there devices were barely responding. EDIT: I was thinking putting back in the closet and 8 feet away in the outlet that I am having the most success with adding an extender. I just do not think I know enough about how the devices communicate.

Thank you all, I have some more reading todo when I get back to the office I appreciate the links. I went ahead and purchased 2 range extenders.

Why use the range extended and not the 2443 Access Point INSTEON Wireless Phase Coupler? Please help me understand the differences and the best product for my application. How crazy i am to think I can use a motion sensor to trigger an event like flashing of some wired in lights ? Or eventually I want to wire in a door bell module that would flash the lights in X rooms when triggered. Too CRAZY to wish for this?

Help me understand please what the "other end of the 120 leg means". Should I add TWO of these devices http://www.insteon.com/2992-222-range-extender.html ? Is the "ERROR Discovering Notes, Retry!" related going to be resolved by improving comunication? What about an APP ?

I am looking for a GURU that would help bring to life automation in our home. Nothing complicated just a ear with some knowledge with whom I will happily compensate. I bought a few things to test the waters. I have an Universal Devices ISY994i/IR PRO Insteon 2413S PowerLinc Modem INSTEON Dual-Band Serial Interface, White Insteon Model # 2466DW Insteon Model # 2466SW Insteon 2413S PowerLinc Modem INSTEON Dual-Band Serial Interface, White OutletLinc Relay - INSTEON Remote Control On/Off Outlet (Non-Dimming), White At the moment I log into the ISY admin and the three Insteon modules I have programmed seemed to be responding normally. These three are usually hit or miss and kick back random errors. I had a heck of a time adding them. Errors include; -Cannot communicate with the device -Cannot determine link table address Other times it will time out initializing system I still have 2 locations that will simply not sync up. On a RARE occasion the admin control will see it but never long enough to add often resulting in one of the above errors, On another note I often load into the admin control panel to "ERROR Discovering Notes, Retry!" Everything I have read points to me needing a repeater of sorts to improve signal quality within the power lines. Please guide me. Finally I am reading about two great iPhone apps buts most of what I see is from 2012. Ekeypad and Mobilinc, what about in 2014 what stands the tallest?
