Hi Joe - Yes, that is toggle mode. I assume this is a 6-button KPL, and you're referring to the primary ON/OFF load buttons? You want to set the load button to "non-toggle mode". The ISY should eb able to do it, but if you're having an issue you can easily change this manually as well. Simply press the ON button for 10 seconds, then release, then 5 seconds, then release, then 5 more seconds. I've had some instances where I have to go through this procedure twice. The KPL documentation for revs 1.5+ is here: http://www.smarthome.com/manuals/2486d1_5.pdf

For the record, I have a lot of triggers that run based on switch presses (double-tap OFFs, etc.). It's extremely rare when I have a program that takes more than 1 - 1.5 seconds to respond to a switch press.

Hi NewTech - Please be sure to make a backup before upgrading your firmware, but you DO NOT need to reload the backup unless something goes wrong. Please read all the notes in the 2.7.2 firmware update post, specifically about disabling firewall/anti-virus software during the upgrade process. Also, if you're not going to get a chance to upgrade for the next couple of days, consider waiting a few more - we hope to have 2.7.3 out sometime this weekend. Please let us know if you have any issues.

I do that because I'm doing a query in my program. Since the ISY queries all devices by default at startup, it doesn't make much sense to re-query my thermostat immediately after. The 'Wait 10 Minutes" gives me an offset, so when rebooted my ISY queries everything (including the thermostat), then 10 minutes later queries my thermostat again, then again every 15 minutes after.

I use this program to query my thermostat every 15 minutes: If From 12:00:00AM For 24 hours Then Repeat Every 15 minutes Wait 10 minutes Set 'OfficeThermostat' Query Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I also have the program set to "Run At Startup". Works very well for me.

You can, and in most cases that might be fine for you - but some people want weather infromation more specific to their location (like, right in their back yard) instead of weather information from a WeatherBug station a couple miles away. In my case, for right now, I'm more than happy with WeatherBug. No, the programs are left up to the user to write, because they are so specific to each system. UDI employees and other users are very helpful on this forum, however, so I'm sure you'll get plenty of assistance if you ask.

Hi Joe - We currently don't define or display the status of scenes.

Are you referring to a KeypadLinc button? If so, the primary button can be controlled directly (should be available in the drop-down). The secondary buttons must be controlled through scenes. So, create a scene, make the button a member of the scene, then control the scene within your program.

Sounds like you want them cross-linked, correct? Both switches will control eachother? If so, add them both to a scene as 'Controllers'. A controller is inherently a responder.

Hi - Sorry, don't have any technical details to share comparing various RF to IR bridges.

I'm not familiar with the RF20. Is it PC programmable? If so, and you are running ISY firmware 2.7.1 and greater, you should be able to load our CCF file into their application which gives you 40 pre-defined codes. Please see this thread for more info: http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=2438 If it's not PC programmable, what kind of device are you setting the remote up as? You might want to try a Philips TV or VCR device.

I flashing light on the KeypadLinc indicates that it was trying to comunicate with your other device, but did not get a response. Is the other device a lamp module? If so, try moving it to another outlet to see if it starts responding. If it does, there is probably something on your powerline blocking communications.

Assuming you've tried after clearing your cache, disabling your firewall, and re-downloading a fresh copy of the firmware, then please submit a support ticket here for someone to assist: http://www.universal-devices.com/supp_contact.htm

Hey Dave - After clearing your cache and disabling your firewall software, have you tried loading the latest firmware using this URL? http://www.universal-devices.com/99i Please re-download a fresh copy of the firmware to install. Until the issue is resolved, you won't be able to access the Admin Console from a remote location - you will have to access from a local PC using the URL listed above.

Hey Ron - Some have reported RemoteLincs eating through batteries very quickly (a week or 2), and a replacement has fixed the issue for them. How many weeks are you talking? I believe my RemoteLinc goes about 4-5 months on a set of batteries with fairly infrequent use, and I think that's normal. You might want to give Smarthome a call.

Make sure to type a 0 (zero) and not an O.

It means the address you are typing in is not correct. What are you typing into the Address field?

Thanks for the details Mike, makes sense now. For some reason I had in my mind that your original post was using an AccessPoint as a repeater. It makes more sense now that I've re-read it and you suggested a LampLinc.

Hey Mike - This comment really interests me. Could you explain in more detail why it matters? I assume "upstream" means (panel > device > repeater) while "downstream" would mean (panel > repeater > device)?

Michael - Due to user request, we have added support to dim the KPL level even lower - but we cannot guarantee it will work. Please check out firmware 2.7.2: http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=2508

Yes, with 100+ devices it will take some time do to the initial query.

Hi Michael - Solid RX light indicates a problem communicating with your PLM. It sounds like your ISY is in safe mode. Please unplug the power to your PLM AND ISY, double-check the cable connection between the two (replace with a different cable if you have one), wait 30 seconds then plug the PLM back in. If you still have a solid RX light, it sounds like you may have a bad PLM. Do you have another PLM you could try?

Just to be sure the Homeseer plug-in is not still locking us up, I would recommend shutting down that Homeseer PC, rebooting the ISY, and checking to see if you can communicate with it. If you can't, try accessing it via the following URL: http://www.universal-devices.com/99i If that doesn't work, do you have a null modem cable? If so, you can try communicating with the ISY using a terminal program: http://www.universal-devices.com/mwiki/ ... tart_Guide Check the section labeled "Connecting to the ISY Shell Using the Serial Port". Please post back with your results.

Hi Michael - Based on Bob's comment above, if you shut down the Homeseer plug-in I assume you can reboot your ISY and everything returns to normal?

Hi Michael - Please avoid factory resetting it if possible. - What do the lights on the ISY look like? - Are you able to ping the ISY? - Are you able to browse to the ISY's HTML page? - Are your triggers/programs saved to your ISY still functioning?
