Describe your improvisational FanLinc mounting in a bit more detail. The lighting circuitry is separate from the fan speed circuitry, so one failing may not affect the other. I've been using a FanLinc with 100W equivalent LED bulbs for more than a year, usually at 80%, set to 10% nearly nightly.

Sound good--except that you're using a program rather than a scene to turn a device on and off. Programs inherently introduce a slight delay, scenes are instantaneous. Programs allow for a conditional trigger, scenes don't. Programs use links, scenes don't. Scenes continue to function even without the ISY, programs don't. Any particular reason(s) that you're using a program rather than a scene.

I'm using both the Hub and ISY. It can be done as long as you're aware that any changes to one can sometimes be recognized by the other, sometimes not. I don't believe that there's anything specific that's a determination. If you still have the Hub, start by deleting Betty's device(s) from the portal, forgetting them from Alexa (that matters) then adding just Betty's device(s) to the Hub only. Any success? BTW, I use the Hub, among other things, to set parameters for the new motion sensor, then use the ISY to create a scene. The ISY seems to recognize the parameters set by the Hub. Sometimes it takes a hammer to get rid of that pesky fly.

Each persons enunciation is unique. Sometimes, my wife's commands work whereas mine do not. We both agree that there's no difference, but that's the way Amazon's AI for voice works--or doesn't! What may work for me may not work for you. I can only suggest different phonetic spellings. That's worked in a few cases. Also, no mixing of case, for example, bet tees (note the space) or bet ees.

Alternatively, you could simply factory reset the device and then use Restore Device. All links and program statements will be back to where they were before you factory reset the device. This is actually the best choice to opt for first.

It really doesn't matter which you do first, delete the device or reset the device. But, you'll need to delete the device from the ISY before adding it. Otherwise, the ISY will indicate that the device already exists.

That's a costly alarm clock

I do not get "Not Found," unless there's actually a problem. I always have to double-click to select the ISY I want to load.

Over the years, the position of which is the week (not month) and which is the year is reversed. It's usually, but not always, obvious which is which.

I'm just using the KPL main button as a test. There's no load. If there were then the load would turn on and off as directed. I already indicated in post #9 that the original program works. The program you referred to was in response to your statement. as follows: This program is incorrect. 1) The "then" clause of program 2 can't work.

This works: test2 If Control 'Test / test kpl' is switched On Then Run Program 'test3' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') test3 If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'Test / test kpl' Off Set 'Test / test kpl' On Set 'Test / test kpl' Off Set 'Test / test kpl' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') If Status is used instead of Control, the the programs run non-stop. Or the last command can be Off.

Tools, Diagnostics, Show PLM Links Table. Even a low count (not empty) is an indication of a failing PLM. BTW, what's the four digit code on the white label on the back of the PLM?

What is your firmware? your UI? Expect the unexpected if they don't match. Check that first. And, yes. A power outage can cause that, too. Try a reboot (Configuration, bottom of right panel). If that doesn't work, then unplug both the PLM ans USY Power up the PLM wait a few seconds and power up the ISY

The program does, in fact, run correctly. The OP only specified, "if x light is on." I don't know if that's possible in v5+. but it's not in v4+. In particular, v4+ requires that an if statement include "Control" or "Status." The program referred to has neither.

My understanding of programs is that they are consistent, they never vary. That's a goal of programming, always achieving the same result. Unless of course the program itself causes a change.

The logic of sequential steps is still valid. The reason your program stops is that as soon as the first step is executed, the condition is rendered false and execution ceases. You can achieve the result you want by creating two programs as follows: Program 1 if x light is on then run program 2 (then) Program 2 if (no condition) then turn x light off turn x light on turn x light off turn x light on

The pass-through outlet on the I/O Linc is truly a pass-through. It's not fused.

I never said the the network and portal are not modules. I only indicated that some modules are physical entities, others are not. You did mention the, "ISY module," you did not mention the portal at all (see post #1). Just trying to clear up a very possible misinterpretation based on what you actually wrote, not what you were thinking

Just to clear up on terminology: The ISY is not a module, it's an Insteon manager, just as the Hub is, but the ISY is considerably more powerful. There are add-on modules for the ISY, such as a Z-Wave module and others. Not all modules are physical, the IR module is, the network module is not. If you want to continue using the ISY with Alexa, the you should get the ISY portal ($49/2 yrs). That will also allow off-site access. If you want/need full smart phone control, then you'll need a 3rd party app.

That's especially true if you drive over a skunk

Because open and close are not part of a spoken, they are used as on and off are, I really don't get why the portal skill would reserve words that Amazon hasn't (or have they?). And if they are reserved, then what are they reserved for? For example, volume is reserved for the Amazon Echo device itself (and for the Amazon Echo compatible Eufy), pause and play are reserved for the Amazon Fire TV. Respectfully, Stu BTW, due to my Bklyn background, I tried. "Alexa, shut the light." Pleasantly, Alexa accommodated. And, "turn the device up (brighten) and turn the device down (dim)," work, too

Info only: Subsidiaries (businesses that have a parent company such as the relationship between Insteon Labs and Smarthome) are separate entities legally as opposed to divisions. In any case, ownership does not imply sameness, A person, group or syndicate can own many companies, each one independent from the others. Learning is fun

Which device? Is it part of a scene? Do you have any devices/scenes/programs that respond correctly to open (On) and close (Off)?

Why not? Will using those terms cause a conundrum? Those terms, when they work, do so consistently. BTW, the only programs that respond correctly have garage (individual doors) or garages (both door) as a spoken.
