I have a few programs that run based on the press of a KPL secondary, such as: These still seem to be working fine here. Let me know if I can try to duplicate the issue here.

I am set to automatic here. Just to test the fuction, I took the 1st device in my list (a SwitchLinc Relay v.2C) and read the device table links (came up with 4). I ran a compare and the ISY shows 3 (marked the last one as an 'extra record'. BUT that last one is: [Extra record] 0FE0 : 00 06 09.92.84 00 1F 01 Doesn't the 00 mean it's a 'deleted' record? I then right-clicked and restored the device, and the table does not change - it still shows that 4th record. If I am correct and that is a deleted record, perhaps in the link table when doing a comparison the gui should mark it as 'deleted - ignore' or something similar.

When I open the Admin Console, I'm also seeing blank weather data in the STATUS box under the CLIMATE tab. The only thing there is the "WeatherBug RSS" link. HOWEVER, if I open up the HTML version of the ISY's weather page in a new tab, the weather information instantly populates in my Admin Console. So, to duplicate, you should be able to: - open Admin Console, observe blank weather data - go back to your browser's ISY page, right-click "Weather" and choose OPEN IN NEW TAB Once the tab opens with the weather data, the Admin Console should also show weather data. PS - My Thermostat Adapter is still working well.

My Thermostat Adapter seemed a bit wonky at first too, but now it seems fine for some reason. Here's what happened: - performed a query, seemed to complete successfully but took about 15 seconds - which seemed exceptionally long - tried a setpoint down, dialog box came up and indicated an error communicating with my RemoteLinc (???), then sat there for 2-3 minutes on the progress bar - once that completed (without further error), the thermostat adapter now seems to be responding fine to queries and set point changes I rebooted my ISY, and tested again - it still seems good at this point. My Thermostat Adapter is reported as a v.24 on the ISY's Admin Console.

You should be able to do this: If Control 'Remote1' is switched On and Control 'Remote1' is not switched Off Then Set Scene 'Lights' On Else Set Scene 'Lights' Off But like Michel said, probably better to find the root of your problem.

That's an option. If you have an ISY-99, you would need to purchase a separate AC adapter to power the ISY (plugged into the UPS). You would need to keep the PLM on an outlet (do not plug it into a UPS). You might need a FilterLinc if the UPS will be plugged into an outlet next to the PLM as UPSs are known to sometimes cause communication issues.

Hey Mike - I think I asked you this before, but I just wanted to double-check. Do you have any devices that report their statuses to the ISY intermittently? If so, when they do not report their status, is there ANY traffic at all in the Event Viewer when you press the switch?

Do you have the Motion Sensor to "on only mode"? If so, I believe this would be normal. In it's normal on/off mode, the motion sensor will send an ON command when it sees motion, then will send an OFF command (which the ISY will show) when there is no motion for a specified period of time (default is 1 minute I believe).

The status of KeypadLinc secondary buttons are not queryable. The only way the ISY knows the status of these buttons is if they are pressed (or controlled from the ISY via a scene). Once this happens, the ISY 'remembers' the status of they button and tracks all future status changes. If the ISY was rebooted, for example, the status of all KeypadLinc secondaries would be blank until something turns them on or off. Are you rebooting your ISY for some reason?

Remember that the state will show blank until the button is pressed for the first time. If you're hitting the button, and it's still showing as blank, I would right-click the KPL and try a RESTORE DEVICE.

STATUS will work fine, and is actually what I prefer because I have scenes that also turn lights/vents on. For example, a double-tap of my bathroom switch turns the lights and vents on. If I use STATUS, it doesn't matter how that light/vent is turned on - the timeout will work (which is what I want). Here is what I use for one of my vents: If Status 'Bathroom1stVent1' is not Off Then Wait 30 minutes Set 'Bathroom1stVent1' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Straightforward, and works fine. Using the WAIT is a bit unintuitive, but once you understand how the ISY constantly evaluates conditions it makes more sense. The vent goes on, the WAIT command starts. If someone turns the vent off in the meantime, the IF condition is no longer true and the program stops running.

Wow Mike, that's crazy! Do these devices have X10 addresses somehow associated with them? I'd like to think it's more likely that noise would resemble an X10 command than an Insteon one.

One note, just in case - I don't believe you said if they were relays or dimmers, but I know that older SwitchLinc Relays, at least, had a different factory reset procedure: Double-check the manual for your exact device to be sure.

Every time I run a backup, I also right-click My Programs and export a copy of that as well - just in case.

I agree, and the more advanced users in their beta program the better.

If you haven't, I would factory reset both devices and then do a restore device on both. If that does not work, I would remove them from the ISY, factory reset them, then add them back in and re-join them to scenes/programs as needed.

I remember those days too. Like 4 years ago.

Oh, OK. I thought you were as lame as me. I think I fell asleep at like 9:30pm. 3 kids will do that to you I guess.

Not sure if they're still looking for testers, but consider posting here: http://www.techmall.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2358

Not yet, but it is reportedly planned for a future firmware release.

Are you saying you weren't up to witness it??

If there are firmware issues stopping the correct operation of a device, I'm certain Smarthome will replace them under warranty. In my experience they've always been excellent to deal with.

Works OK here on my Treo 750 running Windows Mobile 6, running ISY firmware 2.6.13.

Damn it's humid in here.

Please post back what you find. I haven't seen anyone discussing it before.
