If you want a button on the Mini Remote to control a scene, then you do need to add it as a controller. As with all battery powered devices, the Mini Remote needs to be placed in linking mode first.

I had to reinstall the Admin Console (after clearing the cache).

You can replace a device only with an identical device even if it operates the same (e.g., relay).

Place both remotes in linking mode first, the update the scene. Note that the RemoteLinc2 sometimes needs to be distant from the PLM in order to update. Mine needed to be about 40' away. There should be a dual-band device other than the PLM reachable from the RemoteLincs

Restore the modem again. Follow the procedure to the letter http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:File_Menu

That's true. The lock is not an Insteon device, the Morninglinc is. The Morninglinc communicates with the lock via Insteon commands.

I use an extension cord cut in half as a bench test tool. A 2-wire extension cord is adequate as the ground is not needed for testing. One side of a 2-wire extension cord has a rib, the other side is smooth. The side with the rib is the neutral (wide blade on plug). Connect the plug end to the line wire of an Insteon device. Optionally connect the receptacle side to the load wire and plug in a lamp. Connect all the neutrals together. Connect one ToggleLinc to the same circuit as the other ToggleLinc. If there's not a spare location to install the second ToggleLinc, then you can use the extension cord method described above. There no need to make any changes to the ISY. Can you control both load(s) when operating the ToggleLincs manually?

The Ontario Elecctrical Code permits a maximum to 10 receptacles or fixtures on a circuit, not 12 (the actual number can vary locally). I can find nothing in the code that "encourages" mixing receptacles and fixture although nothing in the code prohibits that. Where in the code did you find the "encouragement?" Also, it seems to me that if the fixtures and outlets are on the same circuit, then you increase the likelihood of a complete blackout in case of a circuit failure. How did you accomplish that if the PLM is on a circuit different from the two that power the problematic devices? There seems to be a paucity of puzzle pieces. BTW, a GDO is a garage door opener. Did you test with the GDO disconnected?

oberck is correct. The scene should be set to On of Off.

There's no need for the Sunset-Sunrise condition.

1. Many Insteon devices turn on when power is applied for the first time. I usually bench test and factory reset new devices before installing them. 2. Latching mode is meant for standard toggle switches that remain in an on or off position after flipping them. The correct mode for your use is momentary (although latching will work). 3. I use an ISY. MobiLinc is the preferred app for the ISY.

Did you disconnect/unplug the GDO during testing? Are any of the CFLs Insteon controlled? What else is on the same circuit as the PLM?

When lit, I get a view similar to yours about 18" away from the wall and 30" above or below the thermostat.

That's a good troubleshooting technique, but I have a couple of concerns. First, it's common practice to not have receptacles on the same circuit as lighting (there are a few exception). What type of lighting load do you have on those two circuits (e.g., incandescent, LED, CFL, other). Second, is the PLM on one of those circuits?

My thermostat is mounted at the "standard" height, about 5' above the floor level. I can read it easily lying on the floor as well as standing on a chair (not my normal viewing places). The versions I have are v.A3 and v.0D.

What does the ISY report as the LED level when the back lighting goes dark on its own?

Just to be clear about your conundrum, when you flip the Garage Outdoor Lights toggle the Back Porch Outdoor Light does not respond to either On or Off and when you flip the Back Porch Outdoor Light toggle the Garage Outdoor Lights do not respond to either On of Off. This require that you test both on and off from both positions.

You can use virtually any external DC power supply up to, I believe, 18 volts. My suggestion was in the event the PLM power supply wasn't providing enough current due to age.

Here's a program I use to move the front deck verticals to approximately 1/3 open: If Control 'LR / Devices / LRM1.A Close-Open / LRM1.B PreL-PreR' is switched Off <--- I use button B-Off on a Mini Remote to trigger the event. Then Resource 'LR Deck Open' <--- This statement opens the verticals. Wait 38 seconds <--- The verticals take a little more than 36 seconds to fully open from a closed position. This statement ensures that they're fully opened no matter their previous position. Resource 'LR Deck Close' <--- This statement closes the verticals. Wait 24 seconds <--- It takes 24 seconds to move from fully opened to 2/3 closed (1/3 open). Resource 'LR Deck Stop' <--- This statement stops the movement after the time allotted. Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I use network resources to control our window coverings. You would send a command to the corresponding Micro On/Of Module. Here's an example: If Control 'your trigger device' is switched On or Off (your choice) Then Set 'Micro Module Up' On Wait the time it takes to go from fully down to fully up plus a second or two seconds Set 'Micro Module Up' Off Set 'Micro Module Down' On Wait the time it takes to go from fully up to your preset position seconds Set 'Micro Module Down' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Post back if you need more help with writing programs. section 3.3 in the ISY User Guide has some program writing samples.

David, In the interim, try using an external power supply for the ISY. smokegrub, My experience is that Amazon ships the latest version of any Insteon product.

You'll need to nstall two Micro On/Off Modules. You can install them in the existing switch box. If two Micro Module will fit behind the rocker switch, then you can use both Insteon and the rocker. The Micro Modules require line and neutral which you already have. The two white wires not connected to the rocker is the neutral. Connect one Micro Module load wire to red (up) and the other to black (down). To use the existing rocker (if everything fits), connect the corresponding Micro Module yellow (Sense 1) wire to the rocker up and down terminals. To remotely move the window covering to an intermediate position, time the period from full up to full down and vice-versa (to be sure). The write a program with a wait interval that corresponds to the intermediate position. Since you may not know the position remotely, bring the window covering to fully down (or up) before invoking the wait.
