Blackbird

Just got it today and noticed that the wires are pre connected to the io but no indication on the wire of positive or negative. I take it that the com on the io needs to be connected to the com on the opener. Is this correct? Also do you wire it the same as the opener button

thanks

Even with it turned off?

I just read about dual bright and I know I never have used it and the button is turned off. If its in the off position, can I still get this micro on off to work?

Lol OMG. Well I guess I got an education at least. I guess its the insteon motion sensor. Out of curiosity, why does dual brite not work with this? Thanks guys

Thanks

Sorry for all the questions but Im new to this. So if I turn the lights off by the insteon remote for example, does the motion sensor stay off until I turn it on again by the remote? Or if its off I can walk past the motion sensor and the lights will come back on. I guess what im saying is am I remotely turning off the light or turning off the motion sensor?

What about my post above. Am I understanding things correctly?

I see Thanks

Well I have never updated the firmware so I wouldn't know. I knew there was some internet connection because I receive email notifications but wasn't sure why it said no internet access. That's why I asked

Yes in help and about it says Internet Access Disabled. Ok thanks

If it doesn't rely on RF does the micro on off only transmit signals through the power line?

Just so Im clear, you do recommend the micro on off and to my understanding (and its not much) , the micro on off connects directly to the wires on the motion sensor. The micro on off activates the motion sensor to turn the light and off and the motion sensor still works normally turning the light on and off by motion. Is this correct? If so and I turn off the light remotely through the isy to the micro on off, does that stop the motion sensor from operating normally until I turn it back on?

Well I was going to add an insteon light switch to that light

My ISY says it is not connected to the internet. Does it need to be?

I don't think its a dual bright http://www.homedepot.ca/product/heath-zenith-240-degree-replacement-motion-sensor-bronze/908404 I would wire it with a 9volt power adapter

All I want to do is have my existing 500w outdoor flood light, come on when I unter my drive way (by motion) as well as being able to turn on the light by remote or switch. Currently I only have a standard motion sensor connected to the light and no manual on off. Only reason I wanted to use the existing motion sensor was my worry that the insteon sensor would not be good exposed to the elements.

Yes that is the same sensor I have

I guess if others have used the insteon indoor motion sensor, outdoors and haven't had a problem then this would be my easiest solution.

Im in Canada and it gets very cold and I also wonder if the insteon sensor is water resistant? Any chance of sending me a link of the MicroOnOff module you recommend? Thanks

So I connect the "standard" motion sensor into the I/O linc to receive power for the sensor and also connect to the I/O linc as if the I/O linc was a light?

I need weather proof

I wanted to know if there is a outdoor motion sensor for insteon or can a non insteon (regular outdoor motion sensor) be modified to work with the insteon system, possibly using the I/OLinc?

Guess I assumed it did automatically because of the option to upgrade manually
