If From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) won't do anything unless there is another trigger condition. If Time is Sunset (or Sunrise) will be true at that particular time. No other conditions are needed.

Every button is independent. Pressing button D, for example, has no effect on button F. If you want a button to control another button on the same Keypad, then create a scene with one button as a controller and the other as a responder and set the level for each button (e.g., on or off).

What's the load?

You'll need two programs, one if the light is on and another if the light is off. Light is Off If Control 'KPL button' is Off And Status 'light' is Off Then Repeat x times Set 'light' On Wait 1 second Set 'light Off Light is On If Control 'KPL button' is Off And Status 'light' is On Then Repeat x times Set 'light' Off Wait 1 second Set 'light On

The program will run anytime the status of the Outdoor2 changes to On within the time period specified. Status monitors change, no matter how the status changed.

Oops What else is in the garage that's on the powerline?

The Motion Sensor is RF only. If you don't already have a dual-band nearby, then start by installing a Range Extender in the garage.

It'll certainly be a test of cold and wet capability

The PLM didn't. The bad connection did

A 2842 is Motion Sensor. Do you mean a 2843 (Open/Close Module) which does not have a latching nor a momentary mode or a 2450 (I/O Linc) which does? Or something else?

Abusyhouse, I replied here: http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/14728-can-i-create-a-dummy-virtual-device-switch/

If you're willing to give up a secondary KPL button, then Create a scene with only that button as a member Create a state variable, for example, sHome that can take on values 0 (home) or 1 (not home). Create two programs, one that changes the variable to 0 if the button is off and 1 if it's on Create a program folder, for example: DinnerAtHome Place a condition on that folder to run programs within that folder if the state variable is 1 Place the "yes, we are home for dinner" program(s) in that folder, including any program that runs dinner at home scenes BTW, turning that button on while at home will run those programs and scenes

We've pretty much have four of those now. Missing is a calendar that can accommodate a fixed day that wanders, for example, New Years Day and Independence Day in which the day number is fixed, but the day of the week isn't or President's Day and Thanksgiving Day where the day of the week is constant, but not the date.

Which Ditek 120/ 240?

Yes, the If statement is continuously analyzed. If the program changes the state of the device, then the If part is re-evaluated at that time.

Here 'tis.

If Time is 4:00:00AM Then Set Scene 'ISY' Query Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Control is true at the instant that the device being queried changes state either manually or by a direct command. Status is true no matter how the state of the device is changed, for example, via a scene or even if the program itself changes the state.

Whatever you do do not use the existing wire for 110/120VAC. The low voltage thermostat/control wire insulation does not have the dielectric strength required for line voltage. Aside from not being in compliance with the electrical code, you may start a fire in the wall.

That's a common problem on newer KPLs. A solution is to use a program such as the one EricK linked to (#3). You'll need to create a scene that has the button as a responder and control the scene because keypad secondary buttons cannot be controlled using a direct command. Here's part of a program I use: If Control 'DR / Devices / DR Side Door KPL / DR Side Door B Dine Out' is switched Off Or Control 'LR / Devices / LR Ceiling Light KPL 20 / LR Light KPLD Dine Out' is switched Off Then Wait 2 seconds Set Scene 'Dine Out Buttons' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Other than that some parts of earth get dark later this time of year, a whole house surge suppressor should be in your immediate future

All controls need to be INSTEON compatible devices. You cannot use any of the two existing 3-way nor the one 4-way switch at all. The good news is that you have the wiring in place, but you'll need to change some connections. If you replace each existing switch with a 6-button KeypadLinc, then you'll be able to control both the fan and light from each location. In any case, at least one device should be a KPL.

Create a scene with the sensor as a controller and the light as a responder. You'll need to use a program for the X10 device.

The Micro Module can switch line voltage. It has no dry contact capability as does the I/O Linc. The Micro Module is a wired device. The I/O Linc is a plug-in device. See their respective sales pages and Owner's Manuals for a better understanding of what each does. I/O Linc Micro On/Off Module
