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.

I misread the intent of your question. The solution I use is to wire a Micro Module in parallel with the INSTEON controller and link the sensor as a controller of the Micro Module. As long as the ToggleLinc is on, the Motion Sensor is bypassed. Turning off the ToggleLinc returns control to the sensor.

If Status 'ToggleLinc' is On Then Set 'indicator of choice' On

If Status 'device you want controlled' is On Then Set 'indicator of choice' On Else Set 'indicator of choice' Off If you want to use a KPL secondary button as an indicator, then you'll need to create a scene with that button as a responder because the ISY can't send a direct command to a KPL secondary button.

Open javacpl.exe. Click on Security, Edit Site List and enter the ISY's address including the port.

The 99i is an older device and no new firmware is available. Newer INSTEON devices are unlikely to be supported.

You may be able to use a SynchroLinc to power something safe and harness that signal to turn on the module.

Control is an instruction to do something when a specified event happens. In your case, the instruction is to turn the fan on it the sensor turns on--the "if" statement is true. There is no instruction for what to do if the sensor turns off, that is, when the 'If" statement is false. In other words, if the statement is true then do something, if the statement is false, then do nothing. OTOH, status actively monitors actual state of the device. While, not if, the statement is true, then do something. As soon as it becomes false, then do something else.

If Status 'Attic / Fan Temp Sensor-Sensor' is not Off Then Set 'Attic / Fan Low Speed' On Else Wait 20 minutes Set 'Attic / Fan Low Speed' Off

That's correct. You are not doing anything wrong. The IP address, 10.10.1.126, is the public address for any and all devices connected to your LAN. The IP address, 10.10.1.115 is the address assigned to your device on your LAN and is subject to change. But changing it won't affect wake-on-LAN ability. The particular device you want to wake is identified by the MAC number.

The first keypad button is the device itself. Do you see seven "other" buttons?

Easier would depend on your wiring vs. programming preference, but I was responding only to minimizing the delay between the MS sensing motion and the light responding.

Anytime you use a program rather that a scene, a delay is introduced. For an immediate response, wire a Micro On/Off Module in parallel with the dimmer that operates the front lights and link the MS to the Micro Module.

INSTEON powerline (131.65 kHz) and X10 powerline (120 kHz) signals are close enough so that a coupler for either one is just as effective for the other.

Does the fan have a slide switch to reverse the direction? Can you find the two motor wires? If so, is one of the wires white? Do you have a specific model number?

Yes, you are giving up the powerline capability of the PLM. I did indicate that as soon as a device receives an RF signal from the PLM, that signal is propagated on the powerline and that RF signals can be received by the PLM. But, being behind the UPS restricts the PLM to RF signals only.

According to the NEC, the only outlets in a kitchen that are required to be GFCI are those "installed to serve the countertop surfaces." 210.8(A)(6) There is also an exception for garages that permits not using a GFCI "for each appliance that, in normal use, is not easily moved and that is cord and plug connected... ." 210.8(A)(2) Exception No. 2 The above are excerpts. Refer to the NEC for the full listing.

Once any of the devices on the UPS receives an INSTEON signal, that same signal is distributed to the other devices on the UPS via the UPS wires. And when any RF is transmitted to other devices from the UPS powered device, that receiving devices places the signal on the powerline, too. But, you're giving up the advantages of dual mesh distribution. IMO, it makes sense to protect the ISY as the ISY does not communicate directly with the powerline. But the PLM does!

Ranges will vary greatly depending on a number of factors such as structural materials, for example, metal boxes, concrete or brick walls; large metal devices such as refrigerators and ranges; and a number of RF interfering devices (e.g baby monitors, cordless phones, etc.) to name just a few. That's why the specs, when available indicate "in open air." Do you have a particular difficulty?

Where is the GFCI outlet located relative the to garage and "kitchen which has the exhaust fan, the full refridge, lights," and also the vacuum. Typically, there's the circuit breaker, stuff, a GFCI, and then more stuff. When the GFCI trips, the stuff between the panel and the GFCI will still be live. Everything downstream of the GFCI will lose power.

The action of the program changes the status or what you are monitoring. That's not unlike two programs that say, "if the switch in on, then turn if off," and "if the switch is off, then turn it on." You're telling the garage door to close if it's open. But you do that anytime you drive in or out. You'll need another condition, for example, we have a button that we push from the bedroom to close the garage doors, so "status is on AND button is pushed." What does the third program look like?

If the electric panel is not also in the hot garage, then the circuit breaker should not trip unless there is a wiring problem. What are the electric ratings of the freezer? the breaker? Is anything else also on that circuit?

To determine if it's a program, select program, summary and sort by last run time. If it's a scene, then it may be a little tougher. Select the device the bedroom light is wired to and examine what that device is a responder to.
