Is this possible in a scene?
I would personally use ISY Programs to accomplish what you desire. I would create a scene containing all your devices called "HolidayLights" or whatever you choose. I would create a scene containing the KPL button and call it "HolidayLightStatus" or whatever you choose. I would write a program that checks the status of your individual devices and, if any are NOT OFF, turn "HolidayLightStatus" ON. I would write a program that turns "HolidayLights" OFF if your KPL button is pressed OFF, and turns "HolidayLights" ON if your KPL button is pressed ON. Check out this thread for some similar scenarios and example Programs: http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=2280

Insteon -- Creating "N-way" scenes
The IR version includes an IR receiver on the front of the unit that you can use to trigger ISY Programs with a universal remote control. This allows you to control INSTEON and other devices with your universal remote control.

Programs not running
I think you'll need to provide a bit more information. What do the programs that are not running have in common? Are they triggered by INSTEON devices, or simply run on a schedule? You also might consider posting the programs you are having issues with.

Night time garage door check
I haven't tested, but once the sensor goes OFF the IF statement should become false and the program should stop running.

Night time garage door check
I haven't tested, but how about something like this: If Time is 12:00:00AM And Status 'GarageSensor1' is On Then Repeat 4 times Set 'GarageRelay1' On Wait 20 seconds Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Hi Steve - Could you list the exact steps you are taking and detail the symptoms so I can try to duplicate here? Thanks

KPL and REST Question
Unfortunately, KPL secondary buttons cannot be controlled directly. Try adding the button to a scene, and controlling the scene instead.
-
KPL Button status
Create a scene and drag both the KPL button and ToggleLinc in as controllers.

Stubborn Motion Sensor with Bad Links
Only other suggestion I might have would be to create a scene that contains the Motion Sensor and your problem device, then delete the scene. Try that on a single device to see if it helps.

Stubborn Motion Sensor with Bad Links
I assume you checked to be sure there isn't a scene programmed somewhere that you are missing? If not, did you originally have the ISY crawl and import existing links into the ISY? If so it sounds like you have half-links that were imported into the ISY. Unfortunately, at this point I think your best solution is: - remove each of the problem devices from the ISY - factory reset each device - add each device back into the ISY - add each device into your scenes as needed

Stubborn Motion Sensor with Bad Links
Seems strange. I would do the following: - factory reset one of the responding devices - test to ensure it no longer responds to the MS - do a restore on the responding device from the ISY - test again to ensure it no longer responds to the MS Let me know your results...

Stubborn Motion Sensor with Bad Links
Try doing a Restore Device on one of the devices you do not want to respond and see if that helps. I suspect you have slave links still in those devices.

Garage Door and Power Failure.
If I understand correctly, I believe the issue is that when TriggerOff is checked the results of a query are not as you expect. The EZIO products show this same behavior, and as far as I know the IOLinc is the same. Basically, TriggerOff reverses the INSTEON command sent when the state of the sensor changes, but does NOT change the result returned when the sensor is queried. For example, depending on the door sensor you have the IOLinc may show ON when your door is closed (which, in mosts cases, is not what you'd prefer). Checking TriggerOff reverses the command sent when the sensor state changes, but when the device is queried it will STILL show ON when your door is closed. The best solution would be to get a difference sensor. I use this sensor, which you can use as either normally open or normally closed: http://www.smarthome.com/7455B/Garage-D ... -3-/p.aspx

Check (and fix) switch status
One more comment is that Restore Device does NOT remove any X10 codes stored in a device. It's not uncommon for an INSTEON device to come pre-programmed from the factory with an unwanted X10 code, which is one reason I always suggest factory resetting a device before installing.

Venstar thermostat issue
Be sure you are downloading the correct upgrade file. Note that there are 2 files - one for the ISY-26, and another for the ISY-99. Be sure to read the upgrade instructions carefully. In short, be sure you are on a stable network connection (wired if possible) and disable any anti-virus/firewall software you might be running.

I missed that. Sorry for the bad information!

Our STORE links should have been updated with the new URL: http://www.homeorchestrator.com/UDStore ... ctPurchase Did you find a link that we missed and need to update? Thanks

ISY-26 factory reset?
Here is the article on resetting the password: http://www.universal-devices.com/mwiki/ ... d/Password So, you would connect using the serial cable like discussed above and follow the above instructions to reset your password. I believe that replacing/wiping the SD card will reset your device config and login information, but I'm pretty certain your static IP will stay the same so logging in with the serial cable would still be necessary. If you do replace/wipe the SD card, be sure to connect using the UDI URL and reload your firmware. http://www.universal-devices.com/99i

ISY-26 factory reset?
You could purchase a USB to serial adapter which would be handy to have anyhow - they are fairly inexpensive. Here are a couple links that should help you find one locally: http://www.staples.com/Belkin-USB-to-Se ... plesSearch http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp ... ies&ks=960 Or, if you can wait a couple of days, you should be able to find them online for $20 or less.

Triggers quit
I'd say there's a good chance you will experience future issues. The PLM links shouldn't just disappear like that. If you'd rather not go through the trouble of replacing it at the moment, I'd at least have a spare PLM handly in case it happens again.

Base cabinet lights that turn on like a refrigerator
Perhaps something like this: If Status 'CabinetLights' is not Off Then Wait 5 minutes Set 'CabinetLights' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Yes, looks correct to me.

Very Basic Programming Question
Hi John - It runs twice per day. At Sunet + 20 minutes the THEN portion is run, and at 10:00pm the ELSE portion is run.
