That will actually require two programs, one for On and another for Off.

All IP cameras. DVRs sometimes include motion sensing contacts.

A 6-button KeypadLinc has two primary buttons, On and Off. The 8-button KeypadLinc has one primary button, the Main On/Off button. All other buttons are secondary buttons.

The ISY (with a network module) can send commands to an IP camera, but the camera cannot send commands to the ISY without additional hardware as Michael has indicated.

Any transaction that involves the exchange of money is a business transaction, even a couple of bucks. Fair trades are excepted. There is a gray line that involves profit. And, yes, I'd like to save a couple of bucks.

It's more economical for the etcher to buy the buttons then it is for the buyer to pay to get the buttons, pay to send the buttons to the etcher and then pay to send them back to the buyer.

All dual-band device depend on power, so transmitting to or receiving signals from those devices is useless when power is cut even though the ISY has uninterrupted power. But the ISY will attempt to receive signals from and send signals to battery powered devices. The Motion Sensor will send a signal to the non-powered SwitchLinc and a thermostat will ask the HVAC to respond? Oh, that won't happen--the PLM is doen. A UPS will probably inhibit power line signals, too, when the power is on. IMO, if protection from the power line is a goal, then whole house surge suppressor is a better, albeit, not the ultimate solution.

Echo finds only a limited number (12) of devices.
stusviews replied to philgood's topic in Amazon Echo
Are you adding scenes and programs, also or only devices? How many items have you added to the portal? From the Amazon app, try forgetting all device and discovering them again. -
Create a scene with the Off button as a trigger to turn the scene on. One restriction is that the Off button of a 6-button KPL cannot turn on the load of that same KPL.

Add sheer to the list of removed words. I can still control the blackout/opaque window covering. Pellucid doesn't cut it

A short circuit would cause the circuit breaker to pop. Copper wires don't rust, but if the connection is not tight, an insulating film can build on the surface of the wires (which can be scraped off with a knife).

The only problem I had with our Insteon thermostats was an error in my program. OTOH, I've heard a lot about some furnace igniters being a problem.
-
Not using anything else usually implies the ISY and Echo plus the required portal.

D is, as I suggested in my edit, the yellow wire from CON4 which connects to the yellow sense #1 wire. The light button is, (based on the description--Off -> Bright -> Dim -> Off) as required, a momentary switch. But the voltage at P5 is not momentary. As long as the voltage on the yellow sense wire is held constant, the Micro Module will return to On even if it's the Micro Module is remotely turned off.

The "switch" in your diagram shown below is external to the Micro Module. Where is that to be located? Or do you mean that it's the existing hood switch? If so, that won't work because the yellow wire supplies a constant voltage and turning off the Micro Module will result in the light coming back on.

By now, all my Echos updated to 3202.

Your PLM is nearly 4 years old. That alone makes it suspect.
-
The Izzy skill can control Insteon thermostats. I don't have any others to test with.
-
The best way (although by far not the easiest) is to find the source of the problem and eliminate or filter it. Using a dual-band device instead is a band-aid (but easiest)

Our bedroom fan is virtually always set to two speeds, on or off. It's controlled using an On/Off SwitchLinc plus a remote near the bed. A second fan (another bedroom) did not have a separate switch, so I installed a Micro On/Off Module. No need to walk for control
-
Because the FanLinc is in the canopy, it's relatively easy to bypass it. One wire changes. What's the result?
-
Javi, thanks for the schematic. Mark, one Micro Module can be used to control the lights. Connect line and neutral to the Micro Module. The Micro Module load connects to P5 on CON4 (pair of yellow wires). At this point, if either the Micro Module or the hood light control is On then the lights will be on, that is if the manual control is on, then the Micro Module cannot turn them off. Another choice is to disconnect the yellow wires from P5 and connect then exclusively the the Micro Module. The manual control will be disabled.

When will you start taking orders? Do you have a name for your possible side business like BurnMyButton or LaseMyLabel
