Is the KPL a dimmer type and what type load is it controlling? The load maybe noisy or a signal sucker. So when the load is On the power line Insteon signals can't get to the ApplianceLinc and maybe marginal when the load is Off but still activates the AppliancLinc.

Fancy metal switch plate covers can kill almost all the RF signals from a Dual Band device. Power line noise can be a problem. RF devices like baby monitors and cordless phones in the 900MHz band can be a problem. Have you done the four set button tap communications routine to verify communications with the SwitchLinc across the room? Controlling the incorrect load with a dimmer type switch can be a problem. No nondimmable CFL and LED Bulbs or low voltage loads. I would try the Event Viewer in Level 3 as suggested and see what it shows.

There is at least one thread here on Philips HUE support. This is one of them. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9806

If the RF transmitter or receiver portion of the Motion Sensor has failed. You may still see the LED flash and detect motion but no signal is sent back to an Access Point or Dual band receiver.

Not too sure if the information in the following links will be of any assistance. As I am not a Mac user. viewtopic.php?f=19&t=10425 viewtopic.php?f=19&t=10408

Same with me. I also did not reboot the ISY994i just my operating system. I also verified the ISY994i's address was in Zone Alarms Trusted list. Microsoft's Security Essentials has never been a problem and I doubt it was this time. I also tried a query and could see messages going out by a modules LED flashing with power line messages.

The same thing happened to me this morning with 3.3.10. Not sure if it is related but I rebooted windows XP and all was back. I also still have Java 7.11 Security set to disable IE plug ins.

Re: Release 3.3.10 (RC7) Is Now Available

The "ISY Finder" running and ending up behind the Administrative Console when the jnlp program is run. Is normal on my XP system. Do you have the Java Plug Ins enabled while trying to create the shortcut? I believe it has to be enabled and then after the shortcut is created. You go back into the Java Control Panel and disable the plug ins. -
2442 SignalLinc RF is the original coupler type device. It uses a different RF frequency so it can only talk to another 2442. It also will not receive any signals from Insteon RF device or Dual Band devices. If memory serves me they also do not process Extended Insteon messages so I2CS device are another problem.

Thanks LeeG; I also used the step 'c.' web link and also got the UI of 3.3.9 and not 3.3.10. I removed the incorrect application in the Java Control Panel. Then manually used the modified link information you gave. Now both my Firmware and UI say 3.3.10. -
After my update. When I did the Java cache clear. I checked all the choices including remove old cached applications and applications. The shortcut and old application for the earlier shortcut where removed. Then I downloaded the new one as LeeG indicated.

Q1. If you still want to use your original doorbell. ELK makes a doorbell sensor {ELK930} that connects to your bells wiring and senses the bells current when ringing and has a dry contact output that can trigger an I/OLincs Sensor Input I have tested one with an I/OLinc and it works. Using it would not be the same as the project here as you don't control the lighted features of the bell push button.

I let the update to install but kept the Enable Java Content in Browser choice unchecked. In the Security tab.
-
I saw a Internet story that they expected to have a update by Tuesday. Maybe they got urged to make it happen sooner.
-
Did they lock it out so even the method for Safari in information link on the Java site would not work if you enabled it? By checking the Enable Java box. http://www.java.com/en/download/help/di ... rowser.xml

For those who have seen the Security Warnings about Java and want to disable the Plugins. After following the information in the thread. viewtopic.php?f=44&t=10409 Here is the link giving more details on disabling through the Java Control Panel http://www.java.com/en/download/help/di ... rowser.xml

How to disable Java. Right from the manufacturers web page. http://www.java.com/en/download/help/di ... rowser.xml

There where security warning about Java. I believe Apple disabled Java plug ins and I disabled Java in my IE8 with Windows XP These threads may give you more details. viewtopic.php?f=44&t=10409 viewtopic.php?f=19&t=10408

The whole UDI wiki is just full of very useful data.

Not sure what EEPROM is in the latest units. I know the ones in my older modules. Is guaranteed 1,000,000 erase/write cycles. Though I would imagine most go for more than guaranteed cycles.
-
There is also a section in the UDI wiki on Error messages. http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index ... r_Messages

Insteon Modules do have a EEPROM in them for nonvolatile storage. They also have a typical read/erase/rewrite cycle specification. Reading stored data has a much larger specification. There is a section in the Full Users Manual for the ISY99i/994i on how to replace the SD card. I changed the one in my ISY99i for a larger one. Mine was an earlier version where I had to take the top off and remove the PCB. Later ones have a nice slot in the case. No disassembly needed. http://www.universal-devices.com/docs/p ... _3.2.6.pdf

Nice to know they do make a dry contact interface. This may assist others in the future.

Some dimmer switches without a Neutral. Steal their operating power through the load and it had to be incandescent type loads. Your old switches probably got power through the load and where able to keep their LED indicators On. That is why the new Insteon two wire dimmer can't be used on any loads that are not incandescent.
-
Probably a intelligent controller that sends data on the wiring. A simple closure like a standard push button switch will not work. Also some openers have a LCD display and other features on their controls. The I/OLinc also shorts them out and they reset. Some have had success with wiring the I/OLincs relay physically across the controllers internal push button. To simulate the controller opening and closing the door.
