The RollerTrol Universal Motor Interface can be use with an Insteon compatible EZIO 4 Input/2 Output Relay Controller.

Specify an example or two of the button that you press, which scene is being activated and which buttons don't respond and which do.

Try http://isyor, if you changed to port from 80, http://isy:port_number

It's a good idea to remove power from the ISY before plugging the PLM back in. Wait a minute or two before restoring power to the ISY. If the modem is a 2412, then you can do that by disconnecting the Cat5 cable.

panzer948, When you view the scene, devices that are controllers will appear in red, those that are responders only will be in blue.

The ISY has limited control of Insteon thermostats. The best only way to accomplish what you want is to manually set the thermostat of choice to be the master. Even the thermostat itself does not allow choosing one or the other. You must manually press the button on the thermostat on the specific thermostat that you want to be the master.

CONTROL requires the the device itself issue the signal. The device will issue the signal every time, no matter the state of the device. STATUS will issue the command only if the state of the device changes. But any device (i.e., controller) can change the state. It does not have to be the device itself.

Teken may be using "controller" differently than I am. I'm referring to "controller" in the context of a scene. Neither the ISY nor the PLM are involved in the scene other than to create the links between the devices. Once the scene is created, you can remove both the PLM and the ISY and the scene will function. In effect, you tell the ISY which devices to include in the scene (drag 'n drop) and whether that device should be a controller or responder (all controllers are also responders to the scene). The PLM interfaces between the ISY and the powerline allowing the links to be written to the devices. At that point, the scene is "self-contained," that is, independent of the ISY. OTOH, programs require use of both the ISY and PLM.

In that case, the program is the controller and all devices in the scene are responders. But, as I indicated, the scene can have more that one controller. You can define any and all devices in the scene to be controllers as well as responders--or not. A scene controller is any device that turns the scene on.

No problem. That's part of the Insteon protocol. If a controller has, say 10 responders, then the signal is sent out to all Insteon devices on your network, but only those 10 devices respond due to the link the scene created between the controller and the responders. Each Insteon device has a unique address.That's one of the advantages of Insteon over X10. You can have controller A turn on responder C to, say, 80%, and controller B turn on the same responder to 100%.

Both devices would have to be defined as controllers for them to control each other. That's usually called "cross-linking." Otherwise, one device is the controller and the other is the responder.

No. Insteon devices can be controllers or responders. Most devices can be both a controllers and a responder. When you create a scene, you are actually creating a link between the devices. A controller can have any number of responders, but can be a controller of only one scene. A scene can have a number of controllers with any one of them being able to control all responders to that scene.

Don, it might have been the messenger who erred, not realizing that you're the OP. In any case, a new concern deserves starting a new thread

Replacing an restoring cleans out unused links.

Delete the button from the scene, then add it as a controller to the new scene. You can rename the button at any point. My preference is to delete, rename, add.

Yes.

Cormacs, larryflix; there is no place in Canada that has two-phase electric power. http://www.canadatransformers.com/power-phase

I did spend nearly a decade and a half as a Class A Journeyman electrician in NYC (Local 3, IBEW) which required four years of formal classroom training, so I write with real life experience. Here's a couple more references to "legs" http://diy.stackexchange.com/questions/13105/are-both-legs-of-a-homes-power-supply-equally-used https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AwrT6VulbbxUaV4ATWclnIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTEzcjc5ZW45BHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDOQRjb2xvA2dxMQR2dGlkA1lIUzAwMl8x?qid=20071213081747AAsIFdh and a remark about "phases" http://www.ccontrolsys.com/w/Two_Phase_Electrical_Service

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring_in_North_America

Have you tried replacing the Cat5 cable?

I refer to the lines as legs because the electric supply is single-phase. As such, calling them phases is actually incorrect. Another term for legs is "sides," usually labeled side A and side B. The opposite legs (or sides) of the single-phase electric supply are 180º out-of-phase with each other, that is, at any instant the flow of current in one leg is in the opposite direction from the other leg. In the America's, the direction of the current flow changes 60 times per second (60Hz), thus it's referred to as alternating current (AC) as opposed to direct current (DC) where the direction never changes. A phase-coupler bridges the opposite legs of the single-phase electric supply. There was two-phase electric power that was phased out (pun intended) during the early 1900's. Currently, a few rural areas and the city of Philadelphia are the only places where two-phase power exists. BTW, two-phase power has both two line wires and two neutral wires. IMHO, once someone is aware of the correct terminology, they should use it

Is the 40 amp breaker a single-pole or double-pole breaker? Double-pole breakers are those that are two circuit breakers yoked together.
