New INSTEON Device does not expect nor can it handle a device identifying itself with a Set button press. Use Start Linking if you want to identify the device with the device Set button press. Using Start Linking and the device Set button does not require knowing the Insteon address of the device. Battery RF devices do not identify themselves with the Set button. The 3-5 second Set button press manually puts the device into linking mode so the RF circuitry in the device will stay on. The RF device will be awake for 4 minutes which allows New INSTEON Device time to talk to it and establish the necessary link records. Otherwise battery devices are asleep and cannot receive commands. Pressing the Set button to have a non battery device identify itself for Start Linking is very different from the function of pressing and holding the Set button of a battery device for 3-5 seconds to manually put the device into linking mode. When New INSTEON Device ends quickly as you have indicated generally means the device address has already been added to the ISY. Click on My Lighting which will display a summary of all devices defined to the ISY. Click the Address column heading to sort the summary in Insteon device address order. See if the address for the TriggerLinc is already defined to the ISY.

If you want to use the Set button for devices that were installed without noting the device address, use Start Linking rather than New INSTEON Device. Note that battery RF devices such as the Motion Sensor, TriggerLinc, RemoteLinc2 must be put into linking mode manually by pressing the device Set button for 3-5 seconds before using New INSTEON Device. Start Linking cannot be used for these devices.

This is the problem. New INSTEON Device does not expect any device buttons to be pressed. Just enter the device Insteon address and Name of your choice. Leave Device Type set to Auto Discover, click OK.

The ISY Log provides that information. Unless the HVAC system cannot keep up with the heat load the temperature is not going to change more than 2 degrees.

The PLM LED should not be Red. Are any buttons on any other devices being pressed when using New INSTEON Device to add a new device? Is there a wireless baby monitor, cordless phones in the 900 MHz band, anything wireless that could be using the 900 MHZ frequency band?

What is the ISY firmware level? Help | About will provide that information. It will display the ISY Firmware and Admin Console UI level. Both lines should indicate 3.2.6. The 0200 is an invalid message likely from the PLM. Check the PLM cable on both ends. How long is the cable run from the ISY to the PLM? Are you using Start Linking or New INSTEON Device to add new devices?

There are no linking changes associated with the install of a SignaLinc. It is a passive coupler without an Insteon address. Even installing additional Access Points requires no linking changes. Access Points are not linked to any Insteon device. Keep in mind that the SignaLinc is passive, no amplification when the Insteon signal is coupled to the other 120V leg. I prefer a pair of Access Points dedicated to coupling. If additional RF coverage is needed than additional Access Points can be used to provide that expanded coverage.

The magnetic switch is water proof. Holes could be drilled into the concrete but I strongly recommend mounting the magnetic switch on the header across the door opening, assuming there is room. The door tracks normally allow room for the magnetic switch to not impact door movement. I mounted the magnet on the top edge of the door and the magnetic switch on the header. Works well on my two garage doors. A single I/O Linc Garage Kit is designed to operate one door. The logistics of moving both doors with a single relay is full of holes. Also there is one Sensor in the I/O Linc so there would not be independent Status of each door.

There is an "If Status 'xxxx' is not responding" which could be interpreted as no power. When power is restored it will return to “If Status ‘xxxx’ is respondingâ€. Probably need a Query at some interval so the ISY knows when the device stops responding and when it comes back. Seems like a better approach is to install an Insteon switch in place of the standard switch. Rewire such that the LED bulb has unswitched power and let the new Insteon switch logically turn the LED bulb On/Off. That way the Insteon LED bulb is powered like any other Insteon device.

The 99i spec indicates 256 Devices/Scenes The 991 Pro spec indicates 1024 Devices/Scenes. I don't think the size of he SD card is the gating factor. The 2413 Dual Band PLM has a limit of approx 1000 link records. Which limit are you up against.

There is a Replace xxxx with .... function but that is limited to devices of the same type. It will not Replace an ApplianceLinc with an InLineLinc. There is a Find/Replace function for Programs that may help. Go the Programs | Summary page. Right click and select Find/Replace. Occurrences of a specific device name can be located and if desired replaced with another name.

I guess it was not the last thing. If the thermostat is measuring humidity as it does temperature in real time then how the solder tabs were shorted could be in question. Perhaps the jumper is not creating 0 ohms between the solder tabs, resulting in a very low humidity reading. Was a wire jumper used or a solder bridge?

The last thing I can think to try would be to remove power from the thermostat. If there is a humidity value in its memory that factory reset does not clear, removing power should. Leave power off for several minutes to be sure the power supply has drained Off.

Anyone who wants can test a beta. When the next ISY image drop is announced as available it will be a beta. It is your choice to use that beta or not. After a series of betas have been released where the last image is deemed stable it will become the next Official release.

Reboot the ISY. If the value comes back to 2% that is the value in the thermostat. Then reset the thermostat and reboot the ISY in that order.

I defined a Scene with the T2491T1E as Responder. The ISY displays Scene Input fields for Heat Setpoint, Cool Setpoint, Thermostat Mode, and Fan State. What are you seeing with what thermostat?

Two things that could be affecting the Scene change. First the Set Scene has to specify the Motion Sensor - Sensor node name as the "In Scene" parameter. That will change what the SwitchLinc does in response to the Motion Sensor as Controller. To change the affect of using the Scene in a Program then the Scene name is used in the "In Scene" parameter. To affect both two Set Scene statements are needed. Second, the Motion Sensor still honors the Timeout value in On Only mode so in testing it may look like nothing is changing because the Motion Sensor is not sending commands during the Timeout interval. The Motion Sensor option "Sensing Mode" should be checked so the Motion Sensor sends an On for every motion detected.

"If Time" is a onetime shot, triggering the Program at Last Run Time + 24 hours. The If will be True only for that instant when Time is Last Run Time +24 hours occurs and the KPL button is Off. If the KPL button happened to be On for that single occurrence of Time the Program would be False and will be False forever after that. Running the If now will always be False because it is not Last Run Timer + 24 Hours when the If is running.

Are the SwitchLinc and the KPL button linked as Controllers of the Scene? When the KPL button is pressed On does the Admin Console show the SwitchLinc as On? When the SwitchLinc is turned On/Off from the Admin Console device page does the SwitchLinc turn On/Off?

Run Tools | Diagnostics | Event Viewer with Level 3. That will show the commands and devices that are failing. Developing comm problems over time is not unusual. Some CFLs get noisy over time. Other electronic equipment can also become noisy. Treat it like a comm problem even though nothing has appeared to change. Not uncommon to not think about something that has changed recently but not associated with powerline reliability. Could have lost a Dual Band device being used for phase coupling. Or one got moved to a different outlet during cleaning or whatever and not put back on the opposite 120v leg. Could also be a PLM that is going bad but I would rule out all other possibilities before replacing a PLM.

The ISY does not yet support using the Scene name such that some of the Responder KPL buttons will turn Off with a Scene On. Where multiple KPLs are being using if the KPL firmware is v.40 or later than the buttons on either KPL will works as you want when operated from either KPL. They will not operate as desired if using the Scene name for the reason stated above. If the KPL firmware is below v.40 then ISY Programs triggered from KPL button press which turn Scenes Off which have the Responder KPL buttons that should turn Off must be used.

The port forward LAN IP address should be that of the ISY LAN IP ADDRESS: 11.222.33.444 (same IP as above Modem IP Address) - should be the ISY IP When the Modem receives a message from the outside world using the WAN address:port it looks at the port number on the inbound message. If the port has been forwarded the modem will route the inbound message from the outside world using the WAN address:port to the LAN IP:port address defined in the port forward which would be the ISY LAN address.

It is forwarded to the ISY IP address rather than the PC address.
