You need three connections to the Micro Module, the first two are line and neutral for power. One side of the warning light is already connected to neutral. The other side of the warning light receives a signal when something is amiss. That side of the warning light connects to the Micro Module sense wire so that the Micro Module also receives a signal when something is amiss. You can add the Micro Module to the ISY like any other Insteon device. Select Latching, Single. Create a scene where the Micro Module is a controller and any other device(s) as responder. When the warning light is activated, any responder(s) will be activated, too.

Unfortunately, there is no place holder for Insteon devices. That's an ideal use for a vitual device, BTW. So, to swap buttons, you need to delete the controller(s) and responder(s) from each scene and then re-add them to their respective scenes.

You must be looking at the wrong sensor @ $77.00. Here's an ideal all-weather sensor.

Dimmable lamps are nearly always wired using a polarized 2-pin plug,

64-bit Java has been available for quite some time. At least since Win XP Pro 64x.

The Micro Module is sensitive to voltage, not motion. You can, however, connect a non-Insteon motion sensor to a Micro Module. I do just that. When the output of the motion sensor is connected to the yellow sense wire an Insteon on signal is sent when motion is detected. After the designated time and no motion is sensed, an off signal is sent. In one situation. I'm using a RAB post mounted sensor.

That is momentary mode for a Micro Module. Momentary and latching depend on the type of switch, not the action of the module. I agree that it's confusing given that with the /O Linc, the mode defines the action of the relay.

If Control Dimmer Button is ON <<<will trigger from ON command and evaluate true...all other times be false Not so. Each and any one of the following statements will cause the program to evaluate as true. Or Control 'device' is switched Fast On Or Control 'device' is switched Fade Up Or Control ' device' is switched Bright Or Control 'device' is switched Dim Or Control 'device' is switched Fade Down

It is possible to increment a state counter and the lock will respond as soon as the count is reached at which time the counter is reset, but keeping track of 4 taps for one operation and 5 for the other may be confusing for the user unless the operation occurs daily. The discontinued ContoLinc is not capable of fast commands, so you'll need to use a different device. An easy solution is to create one program that uses a fast on (double-tap) and another that depends on a fast off. Your choice for which is unlock and which is lock, but any load will turn on and off as well. respectively, so you may want to used a dedicated controller with no load. paulbates suggestion of using a remote is probably the simplest. No programming required, click to lock, click to unlock.

Sounds like you do not have many (or any) dual-band devices. The MS is RF only. Try bringing it closer the the serial PLM. BTW, what are you using to interface between HouseLinc and the powerline.

Strobe lights have a few millisecond duration. If you've ever been to a disco, the lighting is usually strobe lights. Flash bulbs (not flash lights) are, effectively, single use strobes.

I agree with bipto. A browser is not needed to access the Admin Console, only the HTTP interface (which Edge can't handle). Firefox works fine on Win10.

1. Any particular reason that you want to use an integer variable instead of a state variable? Is the garage light switch a SwitchLinc or a KPL button? 2. What is your, "tabletop controlled (now discontinued)" device?

Insteon dimmers, like most other HA dimmers use TRIACs. Even at full on with the shortest interval, TRIACs clip the waveform. If the non-dimmable load, dimmer device or both are not destroyed right off, then their life will be considerably shortened.

Strobe lights can be found for $10-15. Canal St has some bargains, but that's just parts that you need to assemble--and not as a kit. Some electronic expertise is required.

You are correct. If you do not want to integrate your Somfy motors with Insteon nor the ISY, then the Somfy myLink allows control via a smartphone app. I'm not sure what the myLink can accomplish that the ISY with Autelis cannot. Also, the Autelis allows three presets for each window covering in addition to MyStop. Combined with the ISY, I can have unlimited presets, not that I need so many for all windows. Along with Open/Close sensors, the window covering position is automatically determined by the window opening. The Somfy URTSI II can handle 16 channels. The Auteilis interface can control up to 4 Somfy interfaces. The Somfy myLink is limited to 5 channels. Each window covering or group of coverings requires a channel. If, for example, you have a room with two shades and you'd like to operate each independently as well as together, then three channels are required. If those limitations suit you, then myLink is a good choice. Not here. We currently have 14 motorized window coverings controlled by two Somfy URTSI II controllers for a total of 32 channels (not all in use). And I'm not into pulling out a smartphone to close the window coverings whenever I want to watch a movie. Using a SmartLinc plus the ISY, that's accomplished by turning the movie on

I use color KPL button diffusers to indicate various conditions (e.g., garage doors open, HVAC running, exterior light on, low battery, etc.), but that requires a scene or program for each and every condition. But a simple red bulb may not be adequate as a warning for someone using a snowmobile around open water

Which new bridge?

No LED is a common indication that the device is defective. pacyben's Insteon to Somfy bridge is based on an older Smarthome PLM that's no longer available, so there won't be any updates. Edit: The Autelis Shade Control for Somfy RTS interfaces between the Somfy URTSI and the ISY. A Network Module is required for the ISY.

LED on Tx is not the same as Blink on traffic. LED on Tx will blink green if the particular device sends a signal that is ACKed (successful) and will blink red if the transmission is not ACKed. Blink on Traffic will blink if any device on the Insteon network sends a signal at all.

pacyben's Insteon to Somfy bridge is an interface between the an Insteon controller, such as the ISY and the Somfy URTSI. You cannot access the Somfy interface directly, but you do need to add each channel to pacyben's bridge manually first..How are you sending Insteon direct commands (in Hex) to the bridge? BTW, Smarthome never sold the bridge.

Do you mean the Somfy Dry Contact Interface (Catalog 6300454)? If so, then that is wired to an I/O Linc. If not, then what is the model of the Somfy device? I just read your last post. Is your device a URTSI II or not? The Universal Radio Transmitter Somfy Interface (ver II) has part no. 1810872. It's entirely different that the Somfy Dry Contact Interface and different yet from the Universal Receiver RTS.

The Somfy URTS II device is not a powerline device. The URTS II device communicates using a RS232 or RS485 serial port. There's also an IR sensor input.

Red Baron, How are you connecting the Somfy Universal RTS Interface II to the ISY?

If turning the light on and off is all that the ISY does, then there should not be a problem. Otherwise, there may be signal collisions.
