The 2441ZTH can be paired with a wired thermostat or it can be an independent INSTEON device. We use a wireless thermostat to control only the bedroom fire place. We also have some linked to zoned wired thermostats.

If fit is an issue, then install a dimmer in the switch box and cap the load wire. The install a Micro relay in the fixture box. Holding the KPL button won't dim or brighten.

If you wire a dimmer to a nondimmable load, then you may destroy the dimmer, the load or both. But, there's absolutely no problem wiring it to a dimmable load that's never dimmed. Although it's tougher to work with, the KPL On/Off switch will fit in most j-boxes. I do have a KPL relay in a 2-gang box along with dimmer.

IP cameras can be added via the ISY's HTML (web) interface and viewed from there. They do not interact with devices or scenes.

Tape alone won't withstand a button press. Nuts on the longer screws may hold the KPL in place, but pressing on the side might flex it. But, I don't see what the difficulty is. I have seven dual-band KPLs in tabletop enclosures. The fit is fine.

Click on the scene itself. Do not click on any device in the scene. What is the On-level for the errant device?

1) Control is when you want an action to occur at the time a specified device sends a signal. Status is when you want the action to occur only if the device is already in the specified state. 2) Responding means that the device is connected and functional. 3) Dusk.Dawn is always available. How are you checking for the status? 4) On only sends a signal, hence a blink, at the end of the countdown if motion is detected. On/Off sends a signal each time motion is detected, even before the countdown. 5) The first press put the MS into linking mode. The second press (rapid blinking) put the device into unlinking mode. 6) What you are calling communication mode is actually linking mode. Only one device can be linked at a time, although several devices can be linked sequentially by the ISY, unless they're battery powered. 7) In the Administrative Console, click on ISY for a sortable list.

1. Turn on an On/Off module, plug it into the controlled outlet and monitor the status of the module after you turn off the OutletLinc. Use a triple tap if you need to also control the fan. 2. Plug a SynchroLinc into the controlled outlet and the fan into the SynchroLinc. Use the SynchroLinc as a trigger.

That's because the OutletLinc is rarely turned at the outlet itself. Use whatever device turns on the OutletLinc as a trigger.

You can program the thermostat independent if the ISY. You can use the ISY to program the thermostat independent of the thermostat's programming ability.Or any combination. You can use the state of one thermostat to control the state of another. All of the thermostat's modes are available to the ISY. The setpoint for heating or cooling or condition is available from 1º to 99º in 1º increments. Some of the default settings such as setting the thermostat to ºC or ºF need to be set at the thermostat (or with HouseLinc). AFAIK, there is no documentation for attributes available to the ISY for individual devices. In fact, the devices themselves evolve, so a feature on the latest device may not be available on prior revisions.

A thermostat or its sensor should be located in the area being heated and/or cooled, but control of that thermostat can be anywhere. If you have 5-wires, then you can install an INSTEON wired thermostat and place the wireless thermostat where it will be most effective. You can program either or both thermostats and/or use the abilities of the ISY. The 4-wire thermostat will require an Add-a-Wire kit. A wired INSTEON wired thermostat cannot be a master of nor a slave to another wired INSTEON thermostat. A single wired thermostat can communicate with up to two wireless thermostats either of which can be a master or slave of only one wired thermostat. So, you can replace the poorly located thermostat with a wired thermostat and place a wireless thermostat where it you want and use the ISY as a controller. Or replace both wired thermostats and have double the fun

Some button tips: If you print your own labels, then you'll need the clear buttons. Small buttons have a 7 character limit per line, but two lines are available. All standard keyboard characters can be etched, for example, ON/OFF. There are no restrictions although I don't know if français is available. The labels look best and are easiest to read in ALL CAPS. If some buttons on the same KPL have two lines, then I prefer that they all do. Mixing preprinted and custom etched buttons is acceptable to all but the most discerning eye. Maybe. And, yes, they do ship to Canada

No, the instructions indicate to not install at a circuit breaker, The filter can be installed between the line or load side of the controlling device (e.g., switch, relay, etc.) and the neutral.

INSTEON and X10 powerline frequencies are close enough that a filter for one is effective as a filter for the other, so an XPNR will work if line filtering is what's needed.

A power conditioner will definitely affect the INSTEON signal. That's what the conditioner is for, to remove any line noise. Mine's on a FilterLinc, made all the difference. Also, although not recommended, I have bunches of stacked INSTEON devices with no communication nor heating problems. If heat is a problem for you, then simply insert a triple tap between the devices.

What is the controller?

Dual-brites don't deploy, no matter the setting.

Since Light 2 follows the status of the sensor, create a scene for that light. Then follow the status of Light 1 only.

There is no need to add an Access Point to anything because it's neither a controller or responder. The Access Point is an INSTEON signal powerline and RF repeater. As an RF repeater, it's an easy way to bridge the opposite legs of the split, single-phase electric supply. It is important to locate the Access Point(s) correctly when using it/them for the latter function.

If the KPL is an On/Off device, then it's OK to control power to the FanLinc using it and yes, you can use the secondary buttons for anything. If it's a dimmer, then you may destroy the KPL, FanLinc or both.

A fixed number of hours before or after sunset will work (except for the rare cloudy SoCal day or coastal fog). How much time before sunset will depend on the particular direction the window faces. You may need to make a minor adjustment occasionally. BTW, how are you interfacing the ISY with Somfy (e.g., RTS, IR, hard-wired)?

Connect the relay contacts of the garage door I/O Linc to the sensor of another I/O Linc and test for that second sensor being switched on.

Did you set the MS to send an On only? What is the MS duration set to? BTW, you don't need the Else part.

The PLM is dual band, so it can send and receive INSTEON RF signals. A disadvantage is that the PLM will most likely function as a single band device, so you lose the extra reliability of having both powerline and RF.

Two Micro Modules. But, have you ensured that the PLM will fully function on the generator. INSTEON signals depend on a pure sine wave.
