Post an event viewer with level 3 selected so the actual messages from the motion sensor can been seen.

If the ToggleLinc has already been added to the ISY before the Set button link was created, then a factory reset and a Restore Device to rebuild the link database. If the ToggleLinc has not been added to the ISY using the default 'erase existing links' will clear the Set button link when the ToggleLinc is added to the ISY. Same with the I/O Linc. Run Tools | Diagnostics | Event Viewer with Level 3. Then run New INSTEON Device to add the I/O Linc. It sounds like the plug point for the I/O Linc is not able to reach the ISY PLM. Could be interference, could be phase coupling issue. The I/O Linc can be plugged into the same outlet as the ISY PLM for the New INSTEON Device which would eliminate the potential problems with the I/O Linc plug point. Once the both devices are successfully added, use one ISY Scene. Add the I/O Linc Sensor as a Controller and the ToggleLinc as a Responder. That will allow the I/O Linc Sensor to control the ToggleLinc.

Here is an updated example of using a KeypadLinc button to manually control the outside Scene and affect the results of the TriggerLinc On. TriggerLinc1 If Status 'TriggerLinc1-Opened' is On And Status 'KPL Floor Dimmer 6 / KPL Floor Dimmer 6 - A' is Off Then Run Program 'TriggerLinc2' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') TriggerLinc2 If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'ICON Relay 1' On Wait 10 minutes Set 'ICON Relay 1' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') TriggerLinc3 If Status 'KPL Floor Dimmer 6 / KPL Floor Dimmer 6 - A' is On Then Stop program 'TriggerLinc2' Set Scene 'SceneOutsideLights’ On Else Set Scene 'SceneOutsideLights’ Off

First, what level ISY firmware is being used? To add the I/O Linc, use New INSTEON Device. Enter the Insteon address in the Address field, a name of your choice in the Name field, leave the Device Type as Auto Discover. If this is a new I/O Linc (acquired after March 2012) the ISY needs to be at 3.2.6 or higher. Need to know how the I/O Linc and ToggleLinc Relay will interact. Was not clear if the I/O Linc Sensor should turn On the ToggleLinc or the ToggleLinc should turn On the I/O Linc Relay. As an FYI, Set button links should not be done when using an ISY. The ISY is not aware of these links and will eventually overlay or delete them.

Take at look at this topic viewtopic.php?f=27&t=9290

Insteon has no concept of Scene Status so the discussion has to center around how the Outside Scene will be controlled, not whether Scene is On or Off 1. If I drive home, lights go on for 20 minutes, my wife chats with the baby sitter for 15, I walk the sitter out, the lights go out when I am outside. Is there some way to stop the 20 minute countdown? Yes. Stop Program 2 on whatever condition you chose. KPL button press, SwitchLinc paddle press, RemoteLinc(2) button press, as examples. Is there a way that if the Scene: Outside gets turned off, the countdown stops? So I could turn off the lights, then turn them back on with no auto shutdown? Yes, stop Program 2. No need to turn the Scene Off and back On. 2. Can I add something that if Scene: Outside is already on the 20 minute countdown gets ignored? Yes, stop Program 2 on whatever condition you chose. KPL button press, SwitchLinc paddle press, RemoteLinc(2) button press, as examples. If Outside is on, then do nothing at program 2? Again, there is no concept of Scene status. What turned On the outside Scene? That KPL button press, SwitchLinc paddle press, RemoteLinc(2) button press, whatever is used is added to the If Condition of Program 1 such that Program 2 is not called to Run If program is running, but outside is turned off, then program should be disabled? Stop Program 2

stillen_i30 A Dual Band device blinking does not by itself indicate on opposite 120v legs which is what is necessary for phase coupling. All my Dual Band devices in the test bed blink with the 4 tap test but they are all on the same circuit (same 120v leg). The blinking only indicates receiving an RF signal, not that the RF signal is on the opposite 120v leg. For example, the 6 button Dual Band KPL blinks the 4 secondary buttons when receiving the RF signal from a device on the same 120v leg. When receiving an RF signal from a device on the opposite 120v leg the ON button turns On and Off, the 4 secondary buttons do not blink. The device specific Dual Band User Guide should describe the difference in response to an RF signal on the same 120v leg versus the opposite 120v leg. If that information is not in the User Guide contact the Smarthome Gold Line support line for information.

If the link database does not match after a Restore Device either the KeypadLinc is defective or there is a comm problem that prevented the complete restoration of the link records. Can you post the results of the Compare? Try a right click on the KeypadLinc Primary node and select Write Updates to Device. If a comm problem stopped the Restore Device the remaining activity may still be queued.

“1. How do I add a feature that if the scene: Outside is already on, then it should do nothing?†This is the condition where the Wait should be extended in previous posts. Not sure what you want here. No longer extend the Wait? If the outside light(s) are turned On with a different switch or KPL button that button/switch being On can be added to the If conditions such that the TriggerLinc On does not do anything when the button/switch is On (manual override if you will). “2. How do I disable the program†Another Program can be triggered with the manual override switch/button turning On which in addition to turning On the outside light(s) it can Stop the second Program. That is a variant of the Action statement, like Run Program there is a Stop Program.

Duplicate post. See other post.

It could be phase coupling problem where the KeypadLinc is on the opposite 120V leg. It could be a link record problem. A right click on the KPL primary node, selecting Restore Device will rebuild the KPL link database. Is this the only device that does not show a state change in the Admin Console when a button/paddle is pressed? What level ISY firmware is being used?

"Should it reset the timer to 20 minutes each time someone drives by?" Yes. Assuming the TriggerLinc goes back to Off Status before next vehicle trips. I confirmed with a working example here. If things do not work as expected be sure Program changes have been saved. Also note that the TriggerLinc could be out of reliable RF range. The Event Viewer with Level 3 selected will show by timestamp on TriggerLinc traffic if it has turned Off and then turned back On EDIT: this is the example I used to verify operation. If Status 'TriggerLinc1-Opened' is On Then Run Program 'TriggerLinc2' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'ICON Relay 1' On Wait 10 minutes Set 'ICON Relay 1' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

This will be fixed in the next code drop. Michel did a post for another topic which indicated the next code drop may be this weekend. That is a target for the code drop so it could be later.

Yes. When I run the Event Viewer no Scene command is issued when using Beep so I cannot verify whether a Beep works on a Primary and Secondary button Scene. I am using the Primary button for the test. Changed it to a Scene On and Scene command is issued. Changed it back to Beep and no Scene command issued. KPL does support Beep as I used that KPL to test the Direct Beep to both the Primary button and Secondary button.

There may be a glitch in the Scene Beep. When I code a Scene On the Scene command is issued. When I code Scene Beep the Scene command is not issued. When using the Beep Direct command it is sent to the KPL Insteon address. It is not directed at any specific button so a Primary or Secondary button Beep works because both result in the same Direct command.

Use one Program and change to If Control. Each new On command from the TriggerLinc restarts the process with a new Wait interval. If Control 'Main: Trigger Drive-Opened' is switched On Then Set 'Outside: Main Front Door' On Wait 2 minutes Set 'Outside: Main Front Door' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') [code]

Valves can be operated independently with a battery. A RemoteLinc2 could be programmed with each Zone on a separate button. A KeypadLinc in a desk top enclosure plugged in outside would serve the same purpose.

I have a KPL Relay wit v40 firmware. I can beep directly either the primary or secondary button as it is the same command directed to the KPL, not a specific button. There may be a glitch in the Scene Beep implementation. When I use Beep on a Scene the Scene command is not issued.

Program 1 If Status 'Main: Trigger Drive-Opened' is On Then Run Program 2 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Program 2 If Then Set 'Outside: Main Front Door' On Wait 2 minutes Set 'Outside: Main Front Door' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

When statements after a Wait are not executed it means the If Condition has changed before the Wait time has expired. The If becomes False, driving the Else clause. EDIT: one solution is to move the Then processing into a second Program. When the If Condition in the first Program changes it will not affect the Wait in the second Program

Yes. A null If section if considered True

I confirm the change. No idea why the restriction as it worked okay at 3.2.6 for my FanLinc Motor control.

tunaman Is the KeypadLinc button a Controller in another Scene? If so Insteon allows a button as Controller in only one Scene. Can be a Responder in multiple Scenes. EDIT: I see what you mean. I have Scenes with multiple KPL Relay DB buttons. The KPL Relay DB drives my FanLinc Motor through the 3 speeds and Off. Was working at 3.2.6.

The Program does not run unless invoked from another ISY Program
