Insteon 2477d wiring - assistance needed
If you have 3 other black wires, then that cannot be the load unless you are controlling 3 lights. A bundle of black wires usually indicates that the bundle is line. What other wires are cabled with each of the 3 black wires and what is each connected to. Hint: each black wire must be cabled with exactly one white wire, there may also be a red wire in the same cable.

Linking TriggerLinc
The linking mode is independent of any responder. There doesn't even need to be a responder at all to put the TriggerLinc into linking mode.

Open/Close not working with Programs
Open/Close the kitchen shade results in OK, but nothing happens, On/Off works. Open/Close the verticals results in a ding sound, On/Off works. So, the same command gives a different result.

Insteon 2477d wiring - assistance needed
The diagram you posted is not possible. Nothing in the diagram is actually connected to the load. At each box, which wire is connected to the black screw of the 3-way switch. Where is the neutral wire. A white wire connected to a switch is NOT a neutral.

Controlling Foscam Camera Functions from ISY?
Insteon cameras are Insteon in name only. They have absolutely no Insteon functions, none. They were originally branded Smarthome.

isy944i Power Supply
You can also use higher voltage power supplies as ling as the polarity is correct. I've been using a 12VDC supply of which I have plenty.

Outdoor Flood Lights
Dual-brites can be contoller using an Inston controller, but they don't apply enough voltage to trigger an Insteon sense wire even at the high level.

Change settings on Motion Sensor (with no one present)
If the MS is already added, then you can make any changes that you want, but if your not at the site, then you need that the MS be activated via motion to effect the changes through a program that updates those changes.

installed network module, now doesn't see my isy...just blue screen
What's the result if you physically remove the network module?

Is the MS already added to the ISY?

New garage door opener
No different than any GDO remote. You may want to use a battery eliminator.

BRIGHT 994i indicator lamps (led's)
The LightDims even have a total blackout option, but I found that a second or third layer works wonders. I also use the ISY to turn down or off Insteon SwitchLinc and button LEDs during sleep.

Yes, I'm using CoHo. Results delayed due to early flight tomorrow

New garage door opener
larryflix, most Chamberlain (and other) multifunction GDO wall switches don't have an open/close set of contacts. Rather, they use electronic wizardry (also known as circuits) that use two wires to display the time, leave and/or play messages and tend to other trivial matters such as turning on a light and opening the garage door. Some even provide WiFi capability enabling a smartphone to manage the messages and, incidentally, control entry as well

New garage door opener
Chamberlain GDO wall switches are usually multifunction devices and don't have a pair of contacts that you can connect the I/O Linc to. Depending on the model GDO you have, there may be a simple push button control available. Another solution is the wire the I/O Linc to a remote control. Soldering required.

No commands work
Anyone hearing, "that doesn't work ..." I'm not getting any control at all. The cloud gave way to clear weather, or just clear!!

Open/Close not working with Programs
I have nearly 14 programs that control window coverings, garage doors and locks. None respond to open or close. I also have dozens of devices and scenes. I haven't tested each and every one, but every device and scene I have tried respond to open and close. I'm expecting open to run Then and close to run Else.

simple control, reservations and slooplinc's confusion
Yes and no, but that was the goal. For example, from the computer room (which is in the corner of an L-shaped room configuration), I can control the living room, kitchen and dining room lights by naming them and control the the room I'm in by just the word, "light." But from the living room, I use, "light," for the living room light and "computer room" for that rooms light. Same thing in the dining room or bedroom, i just use, "light," when in each respective room and name the room if I'm not in it. Not every device, scene or program is available from every room. I really don't need need control of the bedroom lights, fan, thermostat or window coverings when I'm in the living room nor vice-versa. However, it's easy enough too add something if I find the need. I do have to use different wake words for any Echo or Dot within earshot. I really need more wake words. The next room to get the Dot is the kitchen. My wife loves both the weather report and the timer

Some Echo connected home voice commands suddenly not recognized...
I agree. I've used that technique with several long spokens, in some cases where deleting a word didn't help.

Open/Close not working with Programs
We have Somfy over and under. You can double, triple even halve to price depending on just the fabric you select.

Try deleting "ceiling" in the spoken.

simple control, reservations and slooplinc's confusion
I'm currently using four Amazon accounts, three Echos, two Dots with a Dot on order (Aug 3rd delivery). I could really use more than three wake words.

2 Motion Sensors in scene
Adjust the sensitivity of the Motion Sensors so they send an On signal only when it's relatively dark. Use a low number, I use 5. Includes them as scene controllers for fast response, then use a program to turn them off.

Looked but couldn't find a simple answer
I prefer the Foscam firmware, but read each manual to reach a decision.
