Yet another question on Sunset...
I do have that taken care of with a RAD post mounted sensor connected to a Micro Module. Your scene needs to fit your needs

Proper insteon device to control On/Off of shop vac and air compressor?
Non-Insteon, non-ISY solutions are sometimes the best automation solution. Those devices make me want to buy a shop-vac and compressor

This 60 amp relay can be used for 110/120VAC devices: http://www.smarthome.com/elk-heavy-duty-relay-contactor-in-a-lockable-metal-structured-wiring-panel-enclosure.html

Port 80 is the default port for HTTP and should never be forwarded (opened to the 'net) or anyone would have access to your computer. Port 80 is safe to use on your LAN and, as 80 is the default port, does not need to be specified.

Load sensing: If the Insteon device is off and the load is switched from off to on, then the Insteon device turns on. That's all load sensing does. Here's what else can occur: If the Insteon device is on and the load is switched from off to on, then there is no response from the Insteon device because it's already on. If the Insteon device is off and the load is switched from on to off, then there is no response from the Insteon device because it's already off. If the Insteon device is on and the load is switched from off to on, then there is no response from the Insteon device because it's already on. So, load sensing is not a solution!

You could have the SynchroLinc send you an email when the pump turned on and when it turned off.

That's not possible to predict for any Insteon device. But, the SynchroLinc does not control power to the device. It merely responds to there being a particular load or not. I'd like a better understanding of the pump. You indicated that the, "pump runs and cuts off." What cuts off the pump? Both the reason and the mechanism.

Yet another question on Sunset...
AFAIK, version 5 has the ability to restore previous on-levels. But, if you have preset levels rather that using the dim/brighten feature, then you can use programs to restore the brightness setting. Here's an example: I keep the walkway lights at 30% between dusk and dawn. But, if someone rings the doorbell, then the lighting goes to 100%, the front door light turns on and, 5 minutes later, the walkway lighting returns to 30% and the front door light turns off. If Control 'GG / Devices / GG Doorbell-Sensor' is switched On And Status 'EX / Devices / EX Dusk Sensor' is not Off Then Set 'EX / Devices / EX Dusk Sensor' Fast On Set 'EX / Devices / EX Front Door Light' On Wait 5 minutes Set 'EX / Devices / EX Dusk Sensor' 30% Set 'EX / Devices / EX Front Door Light' Off Else Set 'EX / Devices / EX Dusk Sensor' 30% Set 'EX / Devices / EX Front Door Light' Off

The SynchroLinc can handle 15 amps, so you're OK. The synchroLinc has an option to send an Insteon signal when the device turns on (high energy state) and also when the device turns off (low energy state). BTW, your pump is 3/4 hp.

Configuration, Network Settings. There's an HTTP port and an HTTPS port. All ports are internal until you open it. List of Ports to avoid

Remote Access Help Required
There are two ports, http and https. Which port(s) did you open?

Remote Access Help Required
Usually, if a port utility indicates that the port is not open, then it's not open. Which port utility? Which notes did you follow? How are you attempting off-site access, your WAN address, a DNS service, something else?

Can scenes be inside of scenes?
A device can be a controller of only one scene, but it can be a responder to hundreds of scenes, responding differently to each. Here's an example. Device A is a controller/responder for scene A. Scene A controls general lighting and turns on device A to an On-level of 50% and a ramp rate of 2 seconds. Device A is a responder to scene A. Scene B controls mood lighting. Scene B turns on device A to an On-level of 50% with a 5 second ramp rate. Device A is a responder to scene B. Scene C controls cleaning lighting. Scene C turns on device A to 100% with the fastest ramp rate. Device A is a responder to scene C. Scene D is a night time controller. Scene D turns off device A. Device A is a responder to scene D. Each scene requires its own controller. BTW, a scene can have hundreds of controllers.

If the shop vac and air compressor are on a 20 amp circuit breaker, then you should use a 20 amp controller. But, if they're on a 15 amp breaker, then a 20 amp controller is unnecessary.

Is my ISY994i Pro Dead? No lights whatsoever
Did you try a different power supply? The ISY requires 5V, 300 mA minimum, so nearly any USB power supply will work.

Program devices vs scenes best practice
You can also click the [a z] symbol (top, left) to sort w/o closing and restarting.

Can scenes be inside of scenes?
A device can be a controller of only one scene. You already have have a switch that controls another switch. If you also want it to turn off all the lights downstairs then it would turn them on, too. Most likely, you want it turn off the downstairs lights only, but not on. If so, then use a program., not a scene.

6B KPL and FanLinc Issue
Which bulbs are you using? Did you cap off the (red) load wire on the KPL?
-
Program devices vs scenes best practice
No, it it not possible to add a scene to a scene. It's not even possible to past the members of a scene into another scene.
-
Program devices vs scenes best practice
So, even if the device did not respond correctly, the ISY "thinks" it did?
-
Light turning off and on continuously.
What's the result is you use a different bulb? Incandescent preferred as a test.

Program Does Not Finish
1. Change Status to Control 2. Do NOT include the sensor as a member of a scene
