Using the 8 button keypad to monitor the garage door open status?
Correct. The switch allows a choice of NO or NC contacts. So does the output of the I/O Linc.

Garage door-looking for security
Do you require/desire a failsafe or failsecure lock? A failsafe lock provides an emergency exit in the event power fails, for example, an electric fire or something else that knocks out power.. A failsecure permits no entry nor egress in the even of a power failure.

3-Way Dimmer Local Changes
Fast on functions correctly from both the primary and secondary switches. What doesn't work from the secondary switch--that does work from the primary switch--is using a single tap to bring the load to full on when the load is already at a preset On-level (less that 100%).

3-Way Dimmer Local Changes
It's not you, it's Insteon. That's the correct Insteon behavior, but not the correct expected behavior. That's because the second tap when the device is on affects only the load wired to that device. If you double-tap (fast on) the secondary switch, then the load will go to full on. You can also hold the paddle.

KPL Button won't light with scene
When you press the button does it blink at all or does it remain dark? Disregard if you factory reset as advised by Xathros and everything works.

Outdoor motion detector
From Wikipedia: The Big Muddy Badlands in Saskatchewan, Canada gained notoriety as a hideout for outlaws. There is a large badland area in Alberta, Canada, particularly in the valley of the Red Deer River where Dinosaur Provincial Park is located, as well as in Drumheller where The Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology is located.

Sorry, I meant On vs. Off.

Your 2nd question

Incorrect IOLinc Query
The usual definition of a contact closer/interrupter is the device's at rest state, that is, no external influence. A NC relay, for example, opens when voltage is applied. A NO momentary switch requires moving a lever or pushing a button to complete the circuit. Likewise, a magnetic reed/contact switch changes it's at rest state when under the influence of a magnet. NO = proximity to a magnetic field closes the contacts NC = proximity to a magnetic field opens the contacts That's also the same way the I/O Linc contacts are labeled.

Outletlinc
1) There have been requests for each outlet to be separately controlled. Once again. SH responded. 2) The new On/Off Outlet is dual-band. The original OutletLinc was not. Adding RF, in and of itself, has a cost, thus an increase in price. 3) Nothing in particular. I just like making three points

Without a doubt, yes!

Bright Status LED on ISY-994i
I use Light Dims. I also used them for our subwoofers and more.
-
Network Speed?
If you meant the Insteon network, then more devices actually improves communication (better, not faster). Insteon signals do not use an Ethernet network such as a LAN or WAN at all.

Are they working on Mobilinc updates?
If you have a DNS account, then MobiLinc will work without a subscription, too.

Click on the scene. What's the On level for button D?

Using the 8 button keypad to monitor the garage door open status?
You want a magnetic contact switch that is closed when away from the magnet and open when close to the magnet. Only the first device linked to allows that configuration.

A 3-4" car backup monitor is an inexpensive and minimal footprint solution.

Program vs Scene for Garage doors.
A scene will continue to function even if the ISY is not available. A program won't.

Using the 8 button keypad to monitor the garage door open status?
Our garage doors are one piece and swing up. The original floor was dirt. The most practical place was on the side near the bottom. The point being that there is no one location that must be chosen. Lee, we have the same situation, so a installed a camera and monitor for safety's sake as well as convenience.

Using the 8 button keypad to monitor the garage door open status?
Talk about uneven, we had dirt garage floors when we started using the more the costly magnetic contact switch. It will accommodate a nearly 3" gap. What are you using now? The gap for magnetic switch that ships with the garage kit needs to be much closer.

Isy error light keeps flashing
Remove power from the ISY. Unplug and replug the PLM. Wait a minute. Power up the ISY. What's the result?
-
Isy error light keeps flashing
Why are you attempting a restore? Did you replace the PLM?

Writing a program to overcome an easily correctable hardware problem seems to be overkill and a band-aid. Change the magnetic switch.
