Issue with device responding to scene oppositely
GremLincs. They usually travel in groups of two, thus dual-band GremLincs. Also, a device can't respond to the state of a KPL button unless the button is pushed or the status of the button is a program trigger.

Status not Triggering
There's a four digit number on the white label in back of the PLM indicating the week and the year. There is not uniformity as to which pair of digits, year or week, comes first, but for most dates it's obvious.

Please check the all on thread for me
The recommended solution is a 2-second delay in any program. But, I'm not sure that that's a solutions. I've experienced more than one All On and, lately, some partial On's. The only program with a MS as a trigger has a 26 hr and 5 min delay prior to the Then and Else statements, respectively. But, not everyone has experienced the phenomenon. Scenes whit the MS as a controller seem to not be a problem.

What is the differene between 'Status' and 'Control' under Conditions?
Scenes are immensely quicker that programs. And, if you're controlling more than one device, a scene controls them concurrently, a program controls them sequentially. Also, scenes are the only way to control individual KPL buttons. OTOH, if a condition is involved, then, in nearly every case, that can be accomplished only via a program.

A scene has two or more members. When you control a scene, you are controlling all members of the scene at once. A direct command controls only that one device.

assistance with replacing switches
Don't delete the old device until you add the new one to the various scenes. That's because the old device is your only record . Select the device. There should be a Membership panel on the right. Make note of which scene has the device as a controller (there can be only one) and which scenes have the device as a responder. Drag the device into the scene where it's a controller, first. Then add the device to the other scenes. You may want to test the scenes at this point. If all is well, delete the old device.

Issue dir > filename.txt and print filename.txt Or try dir /s >filename.txt to list every file on the hard drive including the folder, date, time, file size, and name.

Rob, dir /s is still the only command from a Windows machine to get an accurate file and directory/folder count

How to disable doorbell chime yet know it's pushed?
R = E2 ÷ P A high wattage resistor is needed, at least 1.5 x P

How to disable doorbell chime yet know it's pushed?
Brian, I agree. That's why I linked to the 18 watt bulb. There are many more greater than 21 watt 24 volt bulbs, but I didn't find any with a candelabra base. BTW, if the actual voltage is less than 24 volts, then the power will be reduced as well. 18W @ 24V = 12W @ 16V = 9W @ 12V

Dragging devices into scenes is visual. Beats entering the device's ID.

That's really good. You may end up preferring the light to the chime all the time

How to disable doorbell chime yet know it's pushed?
There are lots of 24V bulbs that draw more than 21 watts. An appropriate socket is also needed. Candelabra is easiest to find and work with. Here's an 18 watt bulb that may work, but certainly two in parallel will.

Status not Triggering
Until and if you get this "fixed," here's a workaround: If F button pressed Then query SwitchLinc

Connect the chime to NC on the I/O Linc and the bulb to NO if you want the chime to be the default as shown. If you prefer that the light is the default, then reverse which connects to NC an NO.

USPS, UPS, FedEx, OnTrac to name a few. My neighbors and god kids to name a couple more.

Does a - INSTEON 2423A5 work with a ISY-944i - ?
I'm currently running three Synchrolincs, each calibrated separately according to the instructions linked to by Paul (#3). After calibrating and testing (i.e., turning the load on and off), all scenes/links were created using the ISY.
-

Use a 24 volt bulb such as this one to be a load instead of the chime. Candelabra sockets are easy to find. You can also use an I/O Linc to switch between the two.

New PLM help please. Scenes no longer work, no device status
Do you have any devices that show ! or 1101?
-
New PLM help please. Scenes no longer work, no device status
DO NOT DELETE THE PLM!!! Start anew following the steps linked to above..
-
What is the differene between 'Status' and 'Control' under Conditions?
CONTROL requires that the device be manually changed or changed using a direct command. The ISY can send a direct command to a single device as can a program. So can the sense wire on a Micro Module. STATUS will be true even if another device causes the change such as a linked device (e.g., scene).

I/O Linc with a Septic Sump-Guard?
Without knowing what's inside the "box," any solution is a guess. If the enclosure is metal, then you may lose all RF capability, but Insteon powerline devices had been around for years without RF. Some devices are still powerline only. Not to worry

Old House-Weird Wiring
BX was just an example in the list, not a definitive material for wiring. The particular metallic wiring method depends on both location and era. The point is that if you have metal boxes, then more than likely you do not have non-metallic cable.
