I think UDI is very aware of this need. My understanding is that the touchscreen manufacturer and UDI are communicating, so hopefully something will come of that.

Is there a reason you're triggering the load switch from the slave switch? Any reason you're not simply creating a scene that contains both switches, with the slave switch being a controller? That would make the response time once again instantaneous.

Well, you've found yourself a partner.

Interesting... The only device I have here with a .00. in the middle of the address is an ApplianceLinc. The ISY-26 controls it fine during my normal schedules (it's part of my holiday lighting scenes). But, if I manually control it (say, send an ON command), the status doesn't change to ON. However, if I do a query on it, that status does update and show that it's ON. Same thing if I try to turn it OFF. Weird..

Thanks for the update Michel! You and the ISY-26 have convinced me that the ISY-26 should be the center of the Insteon universe. Every controller type device should communicate through it, and the ISY-26 should communicate to the Insteon network through the PLM. That would make things a heck of a lot easier. To anyone who doesn't want to buy an ISY-26, I say "screw 'em".

Would it be possible for the ISY-26 to have a 'dummy device' that we could add so that way it doesn't overwrite links to foreign PLMs (and other devices)? I'd personally love everything to integrate directly with the ISY-26, but unfortunately some devices do not. Even though it's been on hold for months, I plan on resurrecting my CQC project sometime soon. CQC interfaces with Insteon through a PLM.

I don't think that will work because, for example, the instant you set "Alarm Coach Lights" ON, the status of "Coach Lights @ Front Door" is no longer OFF, and the sub-program will stop running.

You need to do a soft-reset on the SwitchLinc before it will activate the new ramp rate you programmed. Once you program the rate, pop out the plastic tab at the bottom of the paddle for 5 seconds, then gently push it back in. Don't press it down, just return it to it's original position.

Thanks! I just saw another thread that discussed it. Should have searched before posting.

I have a wireless X10 motion that I'd like to use for my driveway lights. The motion sensor will send X10 B1 ON when it is dark outside and motion is detected. It will send X10 B1 OFF when no motion is detected for 1 minute, but I'm ignoring the OFF command. I created a program to do the following: If X10 'B1/On (3)' is Received And Status 'FoyerControls1A-Driveway' is Off Then Set Scene 'Driveway' On Wait 5 minutes Set Scene 'Driveway' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I included the "And Status 'FoyerControls1A-Driveway' is Off" because I don't want this program to run if the driveway lights are already on. The program runs when motion is detected, the driveway lights go on, but the program then ends and the lights never go off. I believe this is because once the lights go on, the 2nd IF statement is no longer true. Is this correct? If so, can anyone think of a way around this? Thanks!!!

I've actually taken my Elk M1 out of the box and put it on my workbench. Big first step towards setting this thing up!! If only we didn't need to sleep, I might have time for all this stuff...

Does it still bring up the username/password login? If not, try clicking this link to fix it: http://www.universal-devices.com/MyInsteonISY

For the record, I have several Insteon devices behind GFI outlets, including my ISY-26 (w/PLM) and haven't had any issues. Although I think I've heard 1 or 2 people say GFI has been an issue for them, I think it's a rarity.

Mine seems OK, but I haven't played much. Just loaded it up, and left it. Logged in a couple times to do simple things (created a new scene). My timers are still running.

I'd also love to see a counter in the ISY-26 so us current ISY-26 users know where we stand. Thanks!

While I find Insteon a lot more resilient than X10 as far as handling noisey powerlines, it is still susceptible - especially if the source of your noise is right next to the PLM. It could be your PC itself causing noise. Have you thought of simply adding a FilterLinc to your PC equipment?

Glad to hear, can't wait to try it out. It's only happened 2 or 3 times for me, so it has been very infrequent and not reproducable.

Can't we telnet over IP?

I had this issue with a previous update, but after a period of time the new version kicked in. When I had the issue, I believe closing and re-starting IE brought the new version in. Since you've rebooted already, I would try clearing out your internet temporary files to see if that helps. The HELP, ABOUT shows the correct version because it's querying the device itself. The problem is that IE has cached the old interface program and that's what you're seeing. IE hasn't gotten the updated interface from the ISY-26 yet.

I think he wants a scenario where, say, his security system alarm goes off for some reason. When it does, the ISY-26 would turn on all lights in the home. Once the alarm is de-activated, he wants the lights to turn back to their previous states (not all off).

Hey Chris - For the record, per my emails to you I've seen a 00:00:00 bug as well. However, I'm not referencing any programs within my programs. Different issue? Thanks

My PLM is definitely FIRM52, and my X10 definitely died for a period of time. Is this OK to use with the ISY-26?

The PLM on my ISY-26 is labeled: 2807Rev2.4 FIRM52 I thought the 4A firmware was only for separate sale/use, not with the ISY-26? Did the ISY-26 ever ship with 4A PLMs?

Funny - I just read this post and went to try your suggestion, and X10 is currently working. Any idea if this is a known issue SmartHome is working on? Do you suggest I swap out my PLM? Should I wait for a newer rev? Thanks

I don't believe I am experiencing any kind of signal strength issues. Hey Chris - I tested by plugging an IR bridge into the same outlet as the PLM. When sending an X10 signal, the PLM flashes, but the ISY-26 does not. Please let me know if there's anything I can try here, or do you think I may have a bad PLM? Thanks
