Thermostat colors are recommended, but not always standard. But no matter what you do the 2441TH will not work with a heat pump.

The ISY portal is In lieu of MobiLinc Connect. Select one or the other. You cannot have both concurrently.

Leak Sensors - Another (Suggested) Complete Program Package
stusviews replied to rabbit1543's topic in ISY994
Place the sensor on a wet paper towel to simulate a leak. Take the sensor off the wet paper towel and then, possibly, dry it. Observe the result. -
I agree. But I'm not sure that you electric supply is a good test. Paper weight lifter. With effort.
-
That's what I indicated
-
It seems that you have a 480/277VAC wye 3-phase supply. Although there are transformers that can drop the voltage to 12VAC, the transformer itself will probably block the Insteon power line signal. Depending exclusively on RF is iffy, at best. The only way to determine if it will work is to try it.
-
The effect of electricity travels at, not almost, the speed of light. Resistance my limit the current, but not the speed. Any Insteon device produced this year has the ALL ON/ALL OFF command removed. The command was a carryover from the X10 protocol.

It's possible to use three different "wake" words for the Echos (the Dot is an Echo Dot). If two Echos are within earshot and both use the same wake word, then both respond (with a small delay, like an echo). The 2nd generation of Echos avoids that problem. Once one Echo hears a command, any other Echo that has the same wake word ignores that command--as it should. Although the nearest Echo is most likely to respond, it's actually the one that first receives the sound wave which can vary depending on the location of the Echo and the physical structure of the area where the Echo is located.
-
Not possible at this time. The portal is limited to a total of 5 accounts. I don't know it that can be accomplished with two portal accounts.
-
Your program seems correct, but it won't prevent something else from sending a message. What sends you the 2.33 volt message?
-
The Dot has been around for a while. I have three Dots and three Echos. The "new" indicates that it's the 2nd generation. What is new is the ability of the only nearest Dot to respond. Currently, I have to give each Echo and/or Dot controlling the same devices within earshot a different wake name. That will end with the new software. The new software will be automatically downloaded to all existing Dots. The Dot is unaware of which room it's in. I use four portal sub-accounts to differentiate rooms so that I can use the same command in each room (e.g., turn on the light). Otherwise, you need to specify the room name.
-
1. The Dot is stand alone. An Echo is not required. 2. Neither the Dot nor the Echo can determine which room it's in. You need to state which room's light you want turned on of you need to create a portal sub-account for each room. I chose the latter method. BTW, you do need a portal if you want the ISY to communicate with the Dot (or Echo). Siri is an Apple propriety app. It works only with Apple devices or those licensed by Apple.

Insteon Wireless Thermostat power supply recommendations
stusviews replied to rafarataneneces's topic in ISY994
What's the result if you place the thermostat into linking mode before the query? -
It's important that you describe every wire in both switch boxes, not just those connected to the 3-way switches. Include colors, how they're grouped (e.g., one 3-wire cable, one two wire cable) and which color wire is connected to the black screw on the 3-way switches and which colors are connected to the brass screws. You can disregard any ground wires.
-
Create a scene with only the buttons you want to control as responders. Use a program statement to turn the button scene off.
-
One last time. Guessing is dangerous. Melted wires are not uncommon when based on assumptions. The new diagram is very different from the first.
-
The diagram can't be correct if you have 6 lights, as the diagram shows only two. Assume does not work when it comes to electric wiring. An incorrect guess can be as simple as causing the breaker to pop or as bad as burning/melting a wire inside the wall or ceiling. In any case, as I indicated, the end switch with only 3 wires does not have a neutral, so connections must be changed at the fixture(s).
-
Ir really matters if it's two 2-wire Romexes or one 3-wire Romex. In any case (two 2's or one 3), the end switch does not have a neutral and there's no way to provide one without changing the connections at one or both ceiling boxes. You will need to remove at least one, but more likely, both fixtures and describe what you find.
-
The posted image will work, but it's very unusual to run two 2-wire Romexes instead of one 3-wire Romex.
-
Without knowing the current wiring, there's no way to know which connections to change.
-
Larry, that won't work unless the wiring is changed. For example, the last switch in a 3-way configuration has a white wire, but that wire is never a neutral. Black and red can be any of line, load or a traveler.
-
There is not a non-Toggle off option in a scene, only for a button. But you indicated that the button is not part of the scene. What's the result when you control the scene, not the button?
