Try Googling "lutron filter."

ISY programs are event drive. If no event occurs that the program addresses, then the program won't run. A second program can accomplish what you want: If Time is from sunset To sunrise (next day) and light is turned off Then Turn on a light Else nothing The added line creates an event if the light is switched off. Note that you need both programs, the second program runs only if the light is turned off during the scheduled time.

What's an Insteon universal module?
-
Which ISY firmware, v4 or v5?
-
The phase bridge (is it an Insteon 2406H?) should be on its own circuits, but it's highly unlikely that that's the cause of the flicker. Incandescent bulbs should not flicker at all. Are you sure that both flickering loads are on different circuits? If so, how do you know?
-
Sounds like B is a responder only to the scene. Remove B from the scene and add it back as a controller. And, yes, you can add any Mini Remote button as a scene controller.
-
v.4+ also has the load sense option, but that doesn't help with really low loads. The usual solution is to add a night light to the load using a triple tap.
-
Yes, dimmed or brightened from is current setting. The current setting is not actually known, only that the brightness changed. You'd need to include every scene controller in the If statement using OR. There's an easier method if and only if the MS brightness setting is less than any other setting you want to use manually and your current wiring permits.
-
You'll need to use a program for the Motion Sensor. A scene won't work because you can't disable a scene. Also, you need to have a way to enable the MS program, perhaps with a Fast Off. If Control 'Scene Controller' is switched Bright Or Control 'Scene Controller' is switched Dim Then Disable Program 'Motion Sensor' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
-
Info only: Installing a hard-wired phase-coupler does not strengthen Insteon signals. It simply provides a very solid bridge between the opposite legs of the split, single-phase electric supply. Often, that's all that's needed to improve communication between the ISY and devices and between devices themselves Installing dual-band devices also does not strengthen the signal directly. But, they do repeat the signal, so the effect is improved communication.
-
Here's a general sense of what you may want to do. The program requires that you do not have a scene linking the MS to the load. Instead, set the MS to On only and use a program to turn the load off. If button is turned on and button is not turned off Then disable motion program Else enable motion program Also, use Control for the MS program, not Status. that's because if the MS is set to send an On only, then the state of the MS will never change. -
How to replace a KPL and not have to reprogram???
stusviews replied to ingeborgdot's topic in ISY994
Do not rename the newly added device. Once the replacement is completed, the new device will have the name of the replaced device and will also be correctly added to scenes and programs. The ISY will shut down, you'll need to restart and wait until the ISY is not busy (look at the lower left corner). The only indication that the replacement occurred will be the new device's Insteon ID. The old device should be removed from any folder it's in before you can use the replace function. -
Try a reboot or reset. You may also want to reboot your router before connecting the ISY to the router after the reboot/reset.
-
Is your difficulty the ISY, the web power switch or both?
-
I'd never interrupt Steely Dan to make popcorn. Not even Boz Skaggs or Fleetwood Mac and especially not the Doobie Brothers
-
I can route sound from my iOS, Android and Ech devices to my vintage McIntosh C28 preamp from the 70's. Who needs to do that? What's a "cut-through?"
-
Good suggestions, but I don't believe that $6.48 (including shipping) will impact anyone's budget. And that includes a sheet with more than a hundred Light Dims. At least, not anyone with an ISY
-
There is no way to control the brightness of the very, very bright blue LED on the front panel. Several posters, including myself, use Light Dims.
-
Testing a battery with a voltmeter will always give incorrect results because a voltmeter does not place a load on the battery. The correct device to test battery voltage is a battery tester (unless the voltmeter has a battery test mode).
-
Masonry, be it brick or concrete, is a hinderance to RF. Not as much as steel or iron, but more than wood or aluminum.
-
The 4-tap test tells you that the two devices are or are not communicating via RF and, if they are communicating that they are or are not on opposite legs of the split, single phase electric supply. Powerline signaling is not at all involved in the 4-tap test. A hardwired coupler at the main panel ensures that the opposite legs are bridged. Adding dual-band devices does not improve bridging. The opposite legs are either coupled or they are not-period. However, adding dual-band devices will improve both the reliability and the range of the Insteon network

Each time either MS sends an "On" signal the timer restarts. Sending an Off should have no effect on the program. In any case, try using using "Contol" instead of "Status" and set the MS's to send on "On" only.
-
That'd work only for a rural mailbox where mail delivery is by truck to each mailbox
-
If the status/set LED on other devices is not bright and/or blinking (depending on the device), then there is no RF communication at all between the PLM and target device. That doesn't mean that there's no powerline communication.
