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
-
Program devices vs scenes best practice
Devices do report back after scene commands. Otherwise Status wouldn't work in programs. And in some cases, a scene is the only way to control the status of, for example, a keypad button.

Program devices vs scenes best practice
Scene transmit signals to all members of the scene concurrently and are inherently faster than programs. Programs are the best only choice if conditions must be met. BTW, I have a scene that turns off nearly all of my more than 100 devices. In particular, the scene turns off nearly all interior lights except those in the bedroom (and a few others).

ISY Not Responding
It's great that it worked. The usual procedure is to power up the PLM first, then the ISY.

Using Cars Homelink button to trigger ISY?
You can also link a universal garage door opener receiver such as one from Genie, Chamberlain, GTO or Liftmaster to a Homelink button and connect the receiver to the sense terminals of an I/O Linc.
-
Light turning off and on continuously.
What is the device? What is the load?
-
IR and lights on/off
Control requires a manual "change of state." Sense detects any "change of state" even if the change is caused by a scene. Post your program(s). Right click on the program name, select Copy to Clipboard, paste into your reply. Also describe any scene(s) that the responder is a member of.

Water link sensor - 3 nodes?
-
IR and lights on/off
Use control, not state.

Using Cars Homelink button to trigger ISY?
Both Chamberlain ans Liftmaster have (line voltage) switches that respond to Homelink buttons. The switch can be used to trigger a Micro Module. Another alternative is to link the Homelink button to an X10 switch.

Water link sensor - 3 nodes?
The Leak Sensor has three nodes; Dry, Heartbeat and Wet. The nodes should already be labeled.

Garage Door Control & Status
The first program tests if the garage door is open between midnight and sunrise. It the garage door is open, then the 5 minute timer starts after which the second program starts and tests if the garage door is still open. If it is, then the program closes the door. Program 1 If From 12:00:00AM To Sunrise (same day) And Status 'GG / Devices / GG Garage 1 Sensor' is On Then Wait 5 minutes Run Program 'test2' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Program 2 If Status 'GG / Devices / GG Garage 1 Sensor' is On Then Set 'GG / Devices / GG Garage 1 Sensor / GG Garage 1 Relay' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

changed router and cannot log in (probably easy answer)
That's great. Browsing to http://isyshould not take you, "to some website." Unless you set a port, you should arrive at the ISY Dashboard. Did that not happen?

Browse to http://isy If that works or not then post back. We'll go from there.

Status "is Responding" ?
The device is an I/O Linc. Sending an On to the relay is independent of the sensor. What doesn't work, the I/O Linc or the program?

Taking pictures based on motion sensing
Which specific camera? Which DVR?

Schedule program at a certain time
If you have a statement that causes the If condition to become false, then "the current atomic statement group will complete" means that everything in that statement will execute even if only one element caused the condition to become false. For example, if a statement runs a second program that changes the condition part way through, the rest of that second program will continue to run. The same is true if one member of a scene causes the condition to become false. All members of the scene will still respond to the statement command.
-
All scenes stopped working
Deleting the PLM erases all link between the PLM and your devices. If you have a backup, then you can restore those links. If not, then you'll need to add all your device to the ISY. There's no need to restore the PLM because it has no records.

Togglelinc issue.
I use a 2-wire extension cord cut in half with the plug end going to the device being tested and receptacle end connected to the load. I also plug a lamp into the receptacle. On a 2-wire extension cord, the side with the rib is neutral and the smooth side is line. On a 3-wire extension cord, the wires are color coded. BTW, a ground wire is not needed for testing.

How solid is the 'allow programs in this folder to run' flag?
A state variable can be a triigger, an integer variable cannot. So, if you run a program, then the program can test if an integer variable has a particular value. But you can't run a folder, so you can't test the value of an integer variable. A state variable doesn't depend on running anything. If the value of the state variable becomes true, then then the program runs itself and/or the programs in a folder are permitted to run.

How solid is the 'allow programs in this folder to run' flag?
There's no doubt that the program ran. Did you actually do a search (Find/Replace) for the errant program? Post the program, too. And the folder condition.
