  1. Hi again- Turning on a 6-lamp chandelier with "dimmable" LED A19s. (New thread started to try to find actual dimmable A19s.) Incandescents dim fine. What else would I try to do with it that may not work? thx Andrew
  2. Hi Paul! I tried both connection message. I'm not receiving any message from the ISY. Load... ah, not sure how to answer that, other than it's 120V, with Line, Load, Neutral, and Group. Switch turned on? Yes... Turned off & retried.. BINGO! Not sure why that would matter, but now I know. Thanks! Andrew
  3. Hi, I installed a SmartHome 2466D switch and it works as expected manually; however, I can't seem to get my ISY to recognize it. I've added other Insteon devices without any issues. Any suggestions? Thanks, Andrew
  4. Hey everyone, Did a factory reset before linking to the ISY, and I didn't change its setting after that.
  5. Thanks! I really need to read up on this.
  6. Trying to figure out, given: -8-scene Mini Remote -LampLinc Smart Plug how I can use the same button on the Mini Remote to turn a lamp on and off. Can that be done? thanks, Andrew
  7. Bingo. (dots between.) Thanks guys.
  8. Press and hold the Set Button at the base of the RemoteLinc2 until the LED starts flashing green (takes about 3 seconds) The Insteon address is on a sticker on the back of the RemoteLinc2. After the nodes are added to the ISY press the set button on the RL2 twice to quit linking mode. There is something missing here, but I assume it would just be telling us to enter the address, without dashes, because with dashes, as printed, it returns an error that the address is not formatted correctly; nonetheless, I enter the address, and nothing happens. Further, after pressing the set button twice, the green light only flashes differently; it doesn't seem to quit linking mode.
  9. Hi all- I've searched high and low and followed different procedures, but cannot seem to link up my remote: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005LIH2Y8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I've followed the directions found here. And here. I am able to control my Insteon switches directly, using the remote, without any issues. So... what am I missing? Probably something easy, but you never know...
  10. Ah yes - Ok, thanks. I know that our house has at least 2 - our wiring is weird - but now I know what you mean. I do plan on expanding (one thing at a time... see comment regarding remote!) but it's very helpful to know that. thanks.
  11. Update... tried linking remote directly to dimmer plug - worked fine.
  12. Ok, thanks... trying it now. Gotta say - should be plug and play at this point. "Bridging power legs"... not sure what that is, so hopefully what should be a smooth install won't spin out of control here... Will let you know how it goes! [edit] Step 1... ok, that worked perfectly! Now, to see if I can get the remote added... [edit 2] No luck with the remote. I've followed the directions found here. And here. cheers Andrew
  13. lol... well, that makes me feel better. Thanks.
  14. Ok... following up. Got the 2413S, though I'm not home Read the instructions which say: ​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​-------- 1) Ensure PowerLinc Modem is not plugged into your computer 2) Plug PowerLinc Modem into an AC wall outlet 3) Plug clear end of included DB-9 serial cable into PowerLinc Modem’s interface port 4) Plug black end of cable into an available serial port on your PC PowerLinc Modem is now ready ​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​----​-------- Question is this: #4 says plug into available serial port on PC... ?? Then later, under tips: "If computer’s serial port is shared with another hardware device (scanner, PDA, etc.) be sure to turn off that device’s program on the PC. If left running, the home automation software will not be able to communicate with PowerLinc Modem." WTF? PDA?? Might be easier if I were there, but I'm simply not following this. Am I missing something here?
