		Can I link a older 2000stw lamplinc?
		
		The LampLinc you refer to is a pre-Insteon, X10 compatible device. It does not have an X10 house/unit code until one is assigned to it.

		Turning KPN on triggers Program off … why ?
		
		The scene should change the button concurrently, but try changing If Status 'KPL Front Door - KPL - B' is Off Or Status 'KPL Back Door - KPL - B' is Off to If Status 'KPL Front Door - KPL - B' is Off And Status 'KPL Back Door - KPL - B' is Off

		New user question
		
		Do you have the PLM plugged directly into the wall duplex receptacle? Do you have any other Insteon devices? Try bringing the sensor closer to the PLM.

		New user question
		
		Are you adding by discovery, Insteon ID or the Link Management tab? Are you putting the sensor in linking mode first.

		Wiring a load to be permanently on
		
		shannong, this is a 3-device KPL. The top and bottom buttons control the wire load, the middle two (large) buttons each toggle a linked load. I used a 6-device KPL and "linked" button A&B and C&D. Or you could have two On-only and two Off-only buttons. Currently, the only device that controls more than one load is the On/Off Outlet.

		New user question
		
		Welcome to the forum. The Leak Sensor is a battery powered device. Battery powered devices go to sleep when not broadcasting, for example, a leak, in order to conserve the battery. Put the Leak Sensor in linking mode before adding it. Better yet, click on Link Management.

		Programming Away Status with Exit Home Delay
		
		It's allowable to use a variable as a condition for the program(s) in a folder to run.

		Programming Away Status with Exit Home Delay
		
		A variable is not needed IF Control 'Keypad Button" is switched ON THEN Wait hours minutes seconds enable away program ELSE disable away program But, if you want one, then IF Control 'Keypad Button" is switched ON THEN Wait hours minutes seconds Set state variable to x ELSE Set state variable to y Away program IF state variable is x

		Programming Away Status with Exit Home Delay
		
		If you are testing for the value of a variable and are using something else as a trigger, then use an integer variable. If you want the program to run any time the variable changes to (or from) a particular value, then use a state variable. IF control device is turned on and integer variable is value THEN do this IF state variable is value THEN do this

		isy994 vs the isy99
		
		You do not need to use or pay for the router from AT&T. I use a Netgear router and AT&T is the provider.

		isy994 vs the isy99
		
		As I mentioned, off-site access does not differ between the 99 and the 994. And, as indicated by Teken, newer devices are not supported by the 99. So, you have a reason to stay (with what you have) and a reason to go (for an updated ISY). In any case, you'll need a service for off-site access (or a costly static IP address). I don't have a recommendation for a free service.

		The updated firmware has more features. But it won't make off-site access any easier. What is your specific difficulty with off-site access?

		Disable the LED flash on transmit on KPL?
		
		According to the Owner's Manual the error blink can be turned off using software, but even HouseLinc doesn't offer that option.

		KPL on a 3 way fan, assuming not possible?
		
		Toggles are even easier, but not as decorous as a paddle which, BTW, are often called Decora, a name trademarked by Leviton. But, if there's a need/desire to control multiple devices from a single-gang box, then only a KeypadLinc will do.

		Insteon Thermostat - turning on and off.
		
		I never said anything about switching the wires. It does matter which wire is connected to C and which to R. My reference was to using the term "return" for the red wire. Each "system" uses colors and words differently. For example, in line voltage, white is considered neutral and the line is black, but in DC circuits black is the common or ground. And in thermostats, the common wire is usually blue. But it's not the same common as line voltage where the neutral is also referred to as "common." It comes down to common usage

		That's part of the flexibility. Install the device that best fit's the situation. If the tyke prefers a paddle, give the tyke a paddle
