Davemann, I have some experience with the Insteon motion sensor and I would have to agree with you that it is not the best piece of hardware. My experience has been, like yours, that it doesn't always pick up motion however; that is the least irritating part of this device. My biggest problem is that the motion sensor, like many insteon RF devices, has very limited range. Much, much less than they advertise. I have four of them and it seems like there is always a problem with at least one of them at any given time. I am so frustrated that I am considering upgrading my ISY 994i to Z Wave and try some of the Z Wave motion sensors to see if they perform any better. Sorry this may not be too helpful for your situation but thought that I would at least commiserate with you regarding this frustrating product. Alan

Thanks very much to both of you! Alan

Hi folks! I recently installed an ISY994i to control my growing number of Insteon devices and could not be happier! Sure beats the old way of doing all the linking manually. I do have two questions and could not find any answers searching the forum but if they have been previously answered please forgive this newbie. 1. Every time I log into the Admin Console with my user name and password it seems to work and shows all my devices etc. but then almost immediately the sign in box opens again and I must login a second time before I can proceed. Occasionally after that I will again get the sign in box and have to sign in again. At first it was mildly annoying but as I become more familiar with the ISY device and I use it more often (my wife says I'm obsessed!) it is getting to be a PITA. This happens with three different computers and using both Google Chrome and Explorer and either Windows 8.1 or Windows 7. Any suggestions? I am using firmware version 4.3.10 for my 994i/IR Pro (1110). 2. I was playing around learning about programs and tried a simple program that say if module climate temperature >= 80 F then send notification to Alan's iPhone It seems to work. I will get a number of alerts throughout the day but I am wondering what triggers the ISY to send an update? Does that happen every time the temperature changes? I get updates sometimes two or three an hour or once an hour but there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. Thanks for taking the time to read the new guys questions. I look forward to learning more and contributing back to the group. Alan
