apostolakisl, I do use a SynchroLinc to control lighting and device LEDs (wow, that really matters if one has a lot of visible devices) when watching a movie. 'Switched on' runs then and 'not switched off' runs Else. BTW, "Repeat 2 times," may be a bit neater than two statements

The KPL non-Toggle option changed a few years ago. The older options were Toggle, non-Toggle On and non-Toggle Off. The last option, non-Toggle Off was eliminated, but the ISY still has all options and only the ISY should be used to select the mode of choice. That said, what oberkc indicated is still true. In non-Toggle mode the button LED will end up in the selected mode no matter how many times it's pushed and will always send the selected signal each time it's pushed. The only way to change the illumination of the button's LED is to place the button as a responder in a scene and use a program to set the scene on or off no matter the selected mode.

You may want to add a Repeat statement to the Message Program. Sump On Program: If Control 'SynchroLinc' is switched On And Control 'SynchroLinc' is not switched Off Then $iSumpRunningDuration = 1 Wait 2 minutes Run Program 'Message" (If) Else $iSumpRunningDuration = 0 Message Program: If $iSumpRunningDuration > 0 Then Send Notification to 'Family' content 'Sump Pump Running'

What you expect is an extremely common logic misconception. For example, suppose I say that if the sun shines, I'll go the to beach. The sun shines and I do go to the beach, then my statement is obviously true. Now consider that the sun doesn't shine and I do go to the beach. Is my statement true or false? My statement is still true. Why? Because I only indicated what I'll do if the sun shines. I did not say anything about what I'd do if the sun does not shine. It doesn't matter in that case if I go to the beach or not. My original statement is false only if the sun shines and I don't go to the beach. What I do if the sun doesn't shine does not affect the truth of the original statement. Your statement, And Control '1F.11.34 - Heat Ctl' is switched On, only instructs what to do when the device is switched On. There is no mention of what to do if the device is not switched on. That's why you need to include a statement about the device not being switched on.

Create a scene with the buttons as responders. Use a program to turn off the button scene x seconds after either "night" button/scene controller is set On.

What's the result if you query the thermostat?

There is nothing in the condition statement that indicates what to do when Heat Ctl is turned off. Else will never run. Add And Control '1F.11.34 - Heat Ctl' is not switched Off to enable Else

The first two programs, Heat Pool and Heat Spa, have no trigger. I don't see anything that runs those programs.

If the thermostat is calling for neither heat nor cooling, then there will be no status showing.

I just completed an Amazon Echo survey. Among other things, I request better use of open and close with the ISY

The Portal Integration and Network Module are independent. Help, About should show both.

When you install the app, select Save instead of Run. BTW, you can install the app w/o deleting the app you already installed.

I find "turn on" to place the shade ON the window and "turn off" to place the shade OFF the window somewhat more natural that "trigger close" and "trigger open," but that's just me. I certainly don't like using ON to open and OFF to close. Somewhat more interesting that "open" and "close" work with my garage door programs (Z-Wave), but not with Somfy programs (network resource to Autelis to Somfy). Also, I'm finding that "open" and "close" work with Alexa groups that have both a scene and device as member. I suspect that including the device is the key. I'll investigate further.

Off is easy. The real test is turning the unit on.

Open and close is supposed to work, but it just doesn't. I can usually use it with my garage doors (program), open does not work with scenes (i.e, lighting), but close does. I've never gotten those terms to work with my Somfy shades, so I use on to close the shades and off to open them.

Does the log show anything involving the LEDs?

Although I take advantage of several features of Z-Wave locks (Schlage), what we like best is using programs to ensure that all the locks are secure at bedtime. We also have a candle-light in the bedroom that's dimly illuminated if any lock is unlocked. And, yes, we can use our voice to lock the doors

PLM first, wait 5-10 seconds, then power up the ISY. Windows does not include antivirus software, although you PC manufacturer may have included it.

Antivirus software?

The Insteon thermostat can trigger a program based on humidity. All the logic operatives are available: is, is not, is greater than, is greater than or equal to, is less than, is less than or equal to.

Unlock can be accomplished using a program. Your specific lock may need a PIN to unlock from a program, Schlage doesn't.

Info only, not required reading. Insteon uses, primarily, the powerline. RF is a back-up. That means that RF can overcome a lot of powerline difficulties, but not all. There are signal suckers that absorb so much of the powerline signal that jhe RF one or more devices on the same circuit cannot overcome and/or there are signal stompers that place such an abundant amount of noise on the powerline as to wallop the signal. The former devices include UPSs and line conditioners. among others, that do exactly what they should. It's not their fault. they are simply very good at doing what they are meant to do, The latter devices are also not the subject of blame. They do what they are intended to do and pass the savings on to the buyer by not adding the cost circuity that is not required. The circuitry is not costly, but is, nonetheless, an added expense. The most notorious devices are cell phone chargers, but even name brand products are guilty. Any RF device in the 902-928 MHz (33 cm) band can interfere with HA communication. Those devices include, but are not limited cordless phones and wireless baby monitors. Intercoms, too. The solution in all cases are filters. Filters do not keep the offending device(s) from doing their job. They just keep what they are doing off the powerline. but it's useless to filter devices at random, that is, what you may believe is a problem device. If you are having Insteon communication difficulties, then you must go through the tedious process of isolating the problematic device(s). If an already filtered device actually solves a problem, then that specific device requires a filter. Begin here: A systematic approach which makes the task a bit less tedious. After ensuring that you have bridged both halves of the split. single-phase electric supply (separate topic). turn on one half of the breakers (except the router, a computer and the PLM and ISY power), It doesn't matter which half. It will really help if you've mapped out each and every switch, outlet (duplex receptacle). and wired device in you're home. If not, this is an opportunity to do so. Step 1. Problem is solved: The difficult device is on one of the breaker circuits that's turned off. Turn on half the remaining breakers. Step 2. Problem disappears: Turn on half of the remaining breakers. Go to Step 1. Continue until there's only one circuit left being off that cures communication. Now unplug or disconnect each and every device on that circuit. Many devices remain connected to the powerline even when they're turned off. Turning a device off is not adequate. It must be unplugged or disconnected. Step 3. Plug or connect one device at a time until the problem resurfaces. That specific device needs a filter. Problem still exists: The offending device is on the same circuit(s) that powers the router, a computer, the PLM and ISY power. It may be any of the aforementioned devices or something else still powered on. A sincere thanks to belias for the suggested title word

Yes.

Info only: I'm not experiencing any difficulty with IFTTT and the ISY.

You are correct, I missed post #6.
