@stusviews That was completely uncalled for. I am not an electrician and expecting me to open all these boxes and trying to figure what is in there is not a 5 minutes task. Besides if I told you something like "There are 7 wires in there, 4 reds and 3 brown; one red going to a terminal, 3 reds going to another and 3 browns to another" that would have given you the perfect picture, right ... I can bet all my money that your next question would have been to describe the switch then a lot of other related questions. It was simply not worth it. I have asked for help from somebody who "had experience" in this, somebody who did it before. All I needed was a wiring diagram (which should work everytime in a 3 way circuit) and brianp6621 was very kind to post one. My reply thanking you for your help should have been an indication that I do not wish to follow your idea. @brianp6621 Thank you, you are absolutely right and I didn't see that. I am sure I can sort this out now.

It's just too complicated to open all the boxes and to try to figure out what goes where. Thanks for your help

@MFBra All that checks out except I'm not sure it is the "last" switch - might as well be the first. I'll speak to my electrician. Thanks,

That is exactly how I done mine (if you remove that "switch" connected to Sense 1 - where is that coming from anyway?) and I did checked to see if there was a change on Sense 1 when any switch was flipped. There was definitely a change but still the mico module didn't react.

@MFBra Thank you very much - that's an excellent starting point. I realised it is exactly my setup - the micro module works and it turns lights on/off but for me, those light switches aren't working at all.

Thank you guys for all your help; I will try to answer your questions to my best. @stusviews I live in Australia so we have different wire colours here; I'm afraid that won't help at all. @brianp6621 If I get the module between the load and the last switch then if the module is in the "off" position, I won't be able to turn on the lights using the light switches so that won't work. It seems the solution is indeed to have 2 modules - I don't have yet clear the connection diagram unfortunately.

Is anyone here by any chance having some experience in using the Insteon micro module to control a 3 way switched light? I have now several days of trying different setups and nothing works as intended. What happens? - the micro module turns on/off the lights every time when its micro switches are pressed or when it is controlled from ISY - when the light switches are pressed (any of them) the lights are turning on/off erratically (sometimes it works but mostly not) What I have done? - I have my module installed behind one light switch (not behind the middle one) and configured as "latching" - I toggled on/off the "3 way toggle mode" (which is active by default) several times and tested to see if it made any difference ... it didn't - monitored the sense wire used - whenever any light switch is used, the power is applied OR removed to/from the sense wire - used 3 different modules - same behaviour I simple don't know why it is not working. Any help is appreciated.

I do apologize if I am asking a dumb question but I would like to know what is exactly the significance of these "3 hops" I know that every device between the ISY and the target device equals 1 hop and my question is - what happens when I need to have a device which would be 3 or more hops away? My house has quite a big surface spread on 3 levels and since I can't place the ISY dead in the center of everything, I will have situations where some devices will be quite distant. What will happen then? - can I enroll a device which is more then 3 hops away? - supposing I can have the device closer just to enroll it then move it away at it's designated place - will it work then? I live in Australia and basically I have no PLM to work here (I am using a modified hub) and some other Insteon devices are not available (the only way to expand my network is by using these plug-in modules) . How can I get the system to work? Is it possible to have something like 2 ISY's working together? What can I do? Thank you for your help,
