Possible solution: create a program that uses a variable to set the time the load controller turns on, use Alexa to set the variable (see: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY_Portal_Amazon_Echo_Integration). BTW, when was the last time you never got up?

You can do that now with an ISY program. You can even have different turn on times depending on the day of the week. You don't even have to remember to do it Caveat: It won't work if your wake-up schedule varies.

Adding dual-band devices can help with Insteon communication. So can filters, but only if you can positively identify the offensive device(s).

Are you running the same firmware and UI? Any reason that you're using a program and not a scene? Post your program here. BTW, the 99i is somewhat dated and there are no updates. I have no way of knowing if current thermostats are supported, but they really haven't changed.

Alexa cannot run a program because Alexa can only issue On or Off commands (sometimes Open and Close work). A program does not understand On and Off. The result is the an Echo command of On runs the Then section of a program and Off runs Else. There are two solutions: 1. Ask Alexa to tell Izzy to run program_name. The program needs to have a spoken. 2. Create a new program with nothing in the If section and only the following in the Then section: Run Program 'new_program_name' (Then Path) Give the new program a unique new name. "Alexa, turn on new_program_name," will cause your original program to run after evaluating the trigger (i.e., If section).

The Echo cannot execute a condition. The only commands an Echo can run is On which runs Then and Off which runs Else. If you need to trigger a condition, then create a program with nothing in the If section and a run program command in the Then section.

Sometimes combining two words works, for example, "livingroom."

Sometimes the Alexa app is quirky. Try, "Alexa, turn living room off."

The original RemoteLinc (2440) requires that the remote be 20, 30, 40 feet or more from the PLM, but close to any dual-band device when adding or restoring.

I tend to agree with you assumption, but questioning an ambiguity minimizes misunderstanding

Maybe a delay is needed. But, I've been using a similar program for years with no difficulties. BTW, did you mean to use both buttons A & B?

Create a scene that contains only the KPL button as a controller. The create a program where turning on any of the four lights turns the button scene on (or) and another that turns off the lights with the KPL button off as the trigger.

Do you mean security of the lock itself? Morning Industry locks are high quality and very secure.

Even at full on, TRIACS clip the waveform. Using such a dimmer on a non-dimmable load (e.g., fluorescent) can destroy the dimmer, the load or both. Even if it works, you will drastically shorten the life of one, the other or both.

About 180 programs, 72 resources, 12 variables, 4 portal accounts.

Enable sending an On only. Use a program for off. Use a trigger to disable the Off program.

That's correct. If you don't need to know the status, then sending a lock command will still lock the lock no matter the state of the lock.

Insteon controlled locks do not report their status.

I linked a KPL button as a responder to an I/O Linc that indicates if the garage door is open (lit) or closed (unlit). Any Insteon responder will suffice, for example, a LampLinc.

Insteon devices cannot be checked for status, only thermostats and locks.

If you successfully used the procedure to replace the PLM, then what you experienced is normal and expected. In retrospect, keep existing link would have been the correct choice, but what you did may be even better. It will allow you to customize the Insteon network to your choosing, similar to a remodel. And it will be a fantastic learning experience. Wired Insteon switches function exactly as do wired standard switches, wire them correctly and they turn the load on and off and dim the load if the device is a dimmer. Nothing else is required. That's why some of your switches work as expected. But they can do more. For example, a device can control a load even if it has no wired connection to the load, usually referred to as a virtual 3-way configuration. These are the switches/buttons that are not working. Not a problem! In order to have a switch not wired to a load (e.g., fixture, lamp, etc) control a load, it must be linked to the device that does control the load. That's called a scene. More specifically, a scene is when one or more Insteon device controls or responds to one or more other Insteon devices. The ISY makes creating scenes easy. First, double click the scene icon (circle with blue, yellow and green dots) and give it a name (you can change the name later). Drag and drop the devices that you want into the scene. Devices can be a controller or a responder. Controllers are automatically responders. For a virtual 3-way configuration, both devices should be controllers. The device connected to the load is called the primary device. A secondary device is not wired to anything. A keypad can have one primary button (6-button: top on, bottom off; 8-button, top left, toggle on/off). All the rest are secondary buttons. Those are the buttons on your keypads that don't work as you selected remove links. BTW, connecting a load to an Insteon device is usually optional. You can try to re-create the prior scenes or have the switches/buttons that don't work control something else.

You program, if "Front House Security-S" remains on during the specified times, will run twice, once at 12:00AM and once at Sunrise.
