Do you have another program that refers to the one that should not have run? Tip: You can search by right clocking on My Programs, selecting Find/Replace, selecting Programs.

I rarely issue a direct command to a device. Also, I wanted to keep the program simple. This is the program: If Control 'IN / Devices / IN Front BathFan' is switched On Or Control 'IN / Devices / IN Front Hall KPL Light / IN Front HallC BathFan1' is switched On Or Control 'IN / Devices / IN Front Hall KPL Light / IN Front HallD BathFan2' is switched On Then Wait X minutes Set Scene 'IN / Scenes / IN Front BathFan' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
-
Each time an On is sent, the timer restarts. (In my case, there's a fan scene) If Control 'Fan' is switched On Then Wait X minutes Set Scene 'Fan' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
-
An occasional red amidst green happens occasionally. RF communication between the devices is good, but not great. If you can get any two devices to respond correctly in both directions, then you have effectively bridged the opposite legs of the split, single-phase electric supply. It doesn't matter how other devices respond to the 4-tap test.
-
A device has powerline connectivity if it's connected to the powerline. There is no test that determines whether or not the signal is being interfered with. Only trial and error can solve that problem. The beacon/4-button test is a test of RF only. If the responding device blinks at all, then there is RF communication from the initiating device to the responding device (it's a good idea to test in both directions). If the responding device remains unlit, then there is no RF communication between the devices. That does not mean that there is also no powerline communication. The color of the responding LED is used to determine if the devices are or are not on opposite legs of the split, single-phase electric supply.

Maybe I'm missing what you are trying to accomplish, but if all you want is one button on each of two Keypads to control the same device and also have their LEDs synchronize, then one scene should do it.
-
Status is tested each time the state of the device changes.
-
The usual procedure is the set the slider to on for the speed controller button and off for the other fan buttons. Four scenes are needed, one for each speed plus an off scene. Each scene contains the motor and all four buttons.
-
Unplug all the home theater gear so the the PLM and ISY are the only devices plugged in, Do not use a surge suppressor. Does communication improve? If so, then you need to filter the home theater equipment.

You need to add a device before you can query it. The Insteon ID is printed on the back of the I/O Linc. It will look something like, 23.4B.FC. then numbers run from 0 (zero) to 9 and the letters from A to F. B is easy to confuse with 8 and there is no letter "O." There are two ways to add a device to the ISY. 1. Click on the icon with the two rotating arrows, one yellow, one blue and follow the instructions. 2. Click on the light bulb icon and enter the Insteon ID. You can give the device a name now or later. Also select, "Remove existing links." There is no need to specify a device type.
-
You can control the button's LED without affecting other members of that button's scene if that button is the only member of a (different) scene and you control the scene.
-
When you control a device remotely, only that specific device responds, not any of it's links. If that weren't the case, then it would be too easy to create an infinite loop. Here's a common example: 3-way configuration. Switch A turns on Switch B ans Switch B turns on Switch A. If a device also turned on the other devices links, then A sends an On signal to B which sends an On signal to A which sends and On signal to B which sends an On signal... . That doesn't happen. If you want to control more than one device concurrently, then control the scene.
-
Scenes, scenes, scenes. I, too, have multiple KPLs that have duplicate buttons. Response is immediate. Both buttons are lit or unlit. There are a few situations where I want to control only one or more buttons' LED. I create a scene with only those buttons (as responders) and use a program to control the LEDs, but load responders turn on or off immediately. The WAF is high and guests are not confused. All KPL buttons are labelled. Most paddles are, too. That helps immensely. What are some conditions that you require?
-
What do you mean by, "querried the ISY?" Did you first select Start Linking from the ISY from the top row of icons? Have you tried adding the I/O Linc using the Insteon ID?
-
What, specifically, is not working correctly? Which mode is the I/O Linc set for, Latching, Momentary A, B, C?
-
There's a few seconds delay between the press and the response.
-
The buttons referred to are defined as follows: Button 1 ON: call for heat (Zone 2) Button 1 OFF: Turn off Zone 2 Button 3 ON: call for cool (Zone 2) Button 3 OFF: Turn off Zone 1 Set setpoint down 1º by pressing DIM on the RemoteLinc BR Cooler - [iD 0081][Parent 0076] If Control 'BR / Devices / BRR HVAC1 Heat-Zone 2 Off' is switched Dim (last button pressed called for heat) Or Control 'BR / Devices / BRR HVAC1 Heat-Zone 2 Off / BRR HVAC3 Cool-Zone 1 Off' is switched Dim (last button pressed called for cool) Then Set 'BR / Devices / BR Thermostat Main' Setpoint Down 1° Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Set setpoint up 1º by pressing BRIGHT on the RemoteLinc BR Warmer - [iD 0082][Parent 0076] If Control 'BR / Devices / BRR HVAC1 Heat-Zone 2 Off' is switched Bright (last button pressed called for heat) Or Control 'BR / Devices / BRR HVAC1 Heat-Zone 2 Off / BRR HVAC3 Cool-Zone 1 Off' is switched Bright (last button pressed called for cool) Then Set 'BR / Devices / BR Thermostat Main' Setpoint Up 1° Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Edit: You must use the DIM and BRIGHT buttons on the RemoteLinc, Holding the top (brighten) or bottom (dim) of the control buttons doesn't work.

Don't forget to add 1 to the total as the count begins with 0, not 1 or click on Count which will add 1 for you
-
A scene cannot initiate a program, but you can use MobiLinc to run the program directly.
-
The limits are based on both devices and scenes as well as programs. The ISY994i Pro has a limit of 1024 devices/scenes and 1000 programs.
-
Some other Insteon devices also have some options that are not available from the ISY, for example, the thermostats. OTOH, the ISY provides more flexibility for some devices such as a KeypadLinc.

Colby, I use a Somfy Univeral RTS Interface, 1810872; an Autelis Shade Control for Somfy RTS and an ISY Network Module for complete control of our 14 Somfy window coverings.
-
It's unusual for a new ISY to not have an SD card. Fortunately. Amazon is really good about replacements
-
The ISY ships ready to go. Did you buy the ISY new?

Programming Question (Wait condition before notification)
stusviews replied to Scottmichaelj's topic in ISY994
Back to Plan B (for me) which includes a relay and I/O Linc. Just seeking an easier solution. Thanks much for your reply
