TM751s are not polite and if it receives the same House Code RF command it will gladly step on any partially sent X10 or Insteon power line signals. From another controller. That could possible explain why some commands are being missed. MS10A is a security sensor and does not send standard X10 RF commands. It also sends a hourly message so a security device knows it is still alive.
-
I missed one of your questions. All of the motion sensors, except the discontinued DM10A, have a countdown after not detecting motion and send an Off command.

I don't use any X10 Motion Sensors with Insteon, but do answer support questions in the X10 forums. Which model X10 Motion Sensor? Some models have more features. Some you can set the delay before an Off is sent after no more motion is detected. Some can be set to only detect after it gets dark. What transceiver module are you using to receive the signals from the Motion Sensors? One thing with X10 Motion sensors is. Forgetting about the Dusk/Dawn Sensor it includes. When it gets dark it send an On to the next higher address from the motion address and an Off when it gets light. Like your A10. An A11 On will be sent when it gets dark and an A11 Off when it gets light. If the lights you are controlling shine on the motion sensor. It is possible it maybe sending an Off to the dusk dawn address and messing up your reception. There are modifications where users have black taped the dusk dawn sensor so it always thinks it is dark. Also if the X10 received command is triggering an event in you ISY99i setup. Allow a few seconds delay before sending the Insteon command. So the X10 power line command is completed. http://kbase.x10.com/wiki/Comparison_of ... on_Sensors

Did you purchase the Weather bug module? The purchese the irrigation module listing indicated you also have to purchase it and have firmware 3.1.4 or higher.
-
If you had one and it was in ISY99i. Removing it from the system and not from the ISY99i. Could be why you are seeing the problems. Deleting it from the ISY99i maybe the answer.
-
Do you have a ControLinc Controller? The ControLinc is kind of an odd duck. If you have one. Did you use Link Management Tab and pick the Link a ControLinc choice? Small tip most of us use. As we install devices we log the model number and six digit ID numbers. Makes it easier to remember what they are. I tend to go overboard and also have hardware and firmware revisions in the log.
-
Do you have an Insteon device with a 00.00.00 ID Number? What module are you trying to access. 1-5 almost looks like maybe a 6 button KeypadLinc.

I have a switch loop where the AC line in the fixture is tied to the white of a 2 wire cable to the switch. Then the black in the two wire is tied to the load inside the fixture. So white is not always a Neutral. The black tape on the white wire also would indicate it maybe a line feed. Thing maybe completely different now from when my house was built in the late 1950's.
-
The tact switch problem is fairly easy to find. If you push the button and you may hear it faintly click. Though no local action happens. Then I would suspect a tact switch. I have one you can beat on the top paddle all day and it just sits there and plays stupid.
-
I believe it was seven years from the purchase date. If you can't find the Invoice there maybe another way to find it. Sign into your Smarthome account and you can actually find invoices and dates. I found the invoice number and date of when I bought the SDK membership.
-
Since they don't have a Air Gap Switch. After the Factory Reset. Maybe a power cycle may also be needed. Though this is just a see what happens thing.

Westbrook CT. seems to report Light and Light Rate but I get zero for rain fall and it rained heavily yesterday.
-
If you don't have IR and want to add it. As LeeG indicated you need to buy the IR hardware board that plugs into the ISY99is mainboard. Then {don't do it before the hardware is in there} Go to Manage Modules tab and buy the IR firmware option module
-
If your memory is correct you may have missed a step. Hold the top paddle until the top LED flashes and release. I don't remember if the bottom one may also. Then push the set button in momentarily and release. Then hold the set button in again for ten seconds and release.
-
I have also seen this firmware and hardware version numbers change with models. I have some 2876SB Icon On/Off switches. The older ones with green LED are hardware 1.1 and firmware v.60. The later one with Amber LED is a hardware 1.0 firmware v.28. I hope someone from UDI can find out whet happed to your units. I believe there are some parameters that can be charged in them to do things like disable the timer functions.
-
Teken, Are the two 2476ST modules different revisions? As I see the ISY reports one has a v.63 firmware and the other one a v.38. The unofficial list of users inputed data indicated the v.63 is an i1 device and the v.38 is the newer i2 device.
-
Maybe it was made with the older 2476S design and didn't have any Air Gap Switch. All of my old hardware revision 2476S SwitchLinc Relay modules don't have an Air Gap Switch and use a 100% different method to do a Factory Reset. The on line 2476ST page also does not say anything about the Air gap Switch when doing a factory reset. http://wiki.smarthome.com/index.php?tit ... t_Settings

Went in OK. One minor glitch. In IE8 when the firmware was supposed to close the browser and the ISY rebooted. The IE8 screen didn't close and became unresponsive. Used Task Manager to force it closed.
-
The XPCP is a nice coupler. It has two completely isolated AC inputs coupled by signal transformers.
-
Are you running any anti virus or firewall software and what programs are they?
-
Sounds like HL2 doesn't stop at the 00 and reads the remaining link database that should be ignored after seeing the 00.
-
The modified sine wave regulated ones. Could be a problem with both Insteon and other protocol devices.
-
We may have given you the link to the wiki in the Smarthome forums. Just in case. http://www.universal-devices.com/mwiki/ ... =Main_Page Full Users Manual is also avilable there also.

So you are back feeding the AC into the InLineLincs load connection when it is Off but the motion sensor see a motion and turns the lights On? I am not saying it could be a problem. I was just curious if you where driving the lights with the motion sensor and InLineLink Dimmers load connections. If the dimmer was not at 100% or Off when the motion sensor went On or the InLineLinc Dimmer was ramping On when the sensor was already On. Maybe that could be a problem
-
So basically you have the motion sensor always powered and its motion switched output controls the AC Line input to the InLineLinc Dimmer. If the motion sensors output uses a triac and not a relay. The InLincLinc may not play well but tests would have to be done and see if it worked. The Insteon signals may also not pass through the motion sensor. Again tests would show problems. If there is no motion {No AC to InlineLinc} and you want to turn the InLineLinc On or Off. It has no power and will not get the power line commands.
