That should be fine. Buttons C and D control the same ISY Scene which has KeypadLinc button A,C,D as Controllers. Below the ISY Scene name in the My Lighting tree will be the node names of the additional Controllers of the Scene. Click on one of the Controller node names which will display the Responder On Level and Ramp Rate values associated with that Controller. Set as desired. Click on another Controller node name which will display a new set of Responder On Level and Ramp Rate values which are associated with that Controller. Set the values as desired. When controlling an ISY Scene using the Scene name (through the Admin Console or a Program) the ISY PLM is the Controller. As a unique Controller the ISY PLM can have a unique set of Responder On Level and Ramp Rate values, just like the other KeypadLinc buttons that have been added to the ISY Scene as Controllers. The 5.9 is the KeypadLinc hardware level. The KeypadLinc firmware is displayed on the second line in the right hand pane of the Admin Console when the KeypadLinc node in the My Lighting tree is selected. It should have the capability for a Secondary KeypadLinc button to set something other than full On/Off for the Primary load control button A.

Not sure what buttons on the 8 button KeypadLinc are doing what. There are two SwitchLincs that are being controlled with the Scene. Then button A on the KeypadLinc is doing what? Button A is the main load control button on the KeypadLinc. Is the KeypadLinc button A controlling a third set of lights? There is not problem adding additional KeypadLinc buttons as additional controllers of the same Scene. The Responders for each controller can have different On Level and Ramp Rate values so each KeypadLinc button can have different results. A possible issue is if the Secondary KeypadLinc buttons (b-h) are also to control the KeypadLinc primary load button A. This can be done but a KeypadLinc must be at firmware 2D or above to allow a Secondary button on the same KeypadLinc to control Main A with other than simple On/Off. If you can describe in detail what KeypadLinc buttons should be doing what I'm sure the details can be worked out so long as the KeypadLinc is firmware 2D or later.

Correct. Wired Insteon devices are 120V (except for the 240V variants) devices that contain electronics which generate and react to powerline signals even when there is nothing connected to the red load wire.

hoopty If the Insteon switch White wire and the bare wire are connected to the Green wire ground that is against code and should be changed. If something happens and the insurance company finds that type of wiring your insurance will not cover the loss. NEVER share the White Neutral across different Line feeds. That can overload the neutral and be a fire hazard. Lee

Move the motion sensor/TriggerLinc closer to an Access Point and/or move the Access Point closer to the PLM. If the device is in link mode and writes are failing the RF communication to the device is not working. There is an older issue with tstats that are lower than 2.2. They have a habit of blocking RF traffic. Also wireless phones and other RF based devices can cause interference with Insteon RF communication.

Could be the electrician violated code and used a White wire for Line but I don't think so. Smarthome sells a 2-wire kit for just such situations. Includes an InLineLinc to be installed at the light fixture with an Insteon switch in the jbox that has nothing attached to the red load wire. The InLineLinc is controlled by linking the Insteon switch to the InLineLinc.

I suggest calling an electrician. Line should never be White. I suspect what you are reading as hot is actually feeding through the light fixture and is not actually a Line wire. The Line/Neutral feed is probably going to the light fixture with the black/white at the switch simply switching the Line to the light. This might be verified by removing the light bulb from the fixture. If this is correct the wiring needs to be retasked to provide unswitched Line/Neutral at the switch locations and probably another wire run from the light fixture to the switch or use an InLineLinc at the light fixture. EDIT: If you chose to look into this further yourself go to the lighting fixture and look for a Line/Neutral feed from the breaker panel. If this is found to be the way the wiring was done (not uncommon) then a decision has to made as to whether additional wiring can be easily run between the light fixture and the switch location. If that is not practical then use an InLineLinc at the light fixture and retask the wires going to the switch location to be unswitched Line/Neutral to power an Insteon switch that is linked to the InLineLinc.

Motion Sensor is the only RF device that does. RemoteLinc, RemoteLinc2, TriggerLinc, do not.

No. The TriggerLinc does not have a low battery signal.

Start Linking is fine. The device identifies itself as far as Insteon address and firmware level. I prefer New INSTEON Device so I don't have to go back and rename the node from its Insteon address to a meaningful node name but that is just personal choice. Start Linking is a good way to add a device particularly if you do not know the Insteon address and don't want to take the switch cover off. Lots of water under the bridge between 2.8.16 and 3.1.17. No way to know if it was the way the device was originally added or some ISY change along the way. The important thing is its working now.

If both Input 1 and Input 2 have to be On to send the Notify the following Program will do that. If either Input being On should send the Notify change the And to an Or. If Status 'EZIO2X4 - 9' is On And Status 'EZIO2X4 - A' is On Then Send Notification to 'ALL' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Does the Admin Console show Inputs 1 and 2 changing state? How was the EZIO2X4 added to the ISY? Was the Device Type pulldown used to indicate an EZIO2X4?

The I/O Linc Relay does not function like Insteon lighting control devices. The Scene Responder On Level for the I/O Linc Relay (0% or 100%) determines how the Relay responds to Scene On and Scene Off commands. Change the Responder On Level from 0% to 100% or 100% to 0% to reverse the way Scene On and Scene Off commands work. The I/O Linc Relay is unique in that depending on the user’s requirements, the Relay should turn On with a Scene On or the Relay should turn On with a Scene Off. Often the Relay is controlled by a KeypadLinc button. Some users want the KeypadLinc button LED On when the door is open, some want the LED On when the door is closed. Since the state of the button LED also indicates whether an On or Off command will be sent the I/O Linc must have the ability to be configured for either case.

Zick Check the ground busses where the neutrals are connected at the power panel. Are the switch locations that have sustained damage on the same ground buss? There are screws that connect each ground buss to the ground. Make sure these are tight, particularly on the ground buss where the neutrals are attached for the locations that have experienced problems. Please be careful when doing the above. It is relatively easy to short something that can cause large amounts of current to flow. It is not an exaggeration to say an event could be fatal. Lee

The I/O Linc Sensor can be tested by removing the Low Voltage Probe jack and connecting the Sensor to GND. That should turn the Sensor On and the Green LED as well. That will not verify the small jack the Probe is connected to is working but it will show if the basic I/O Linc Sensor is functional.

oberkc Any idea why 5 devices have been damaged when the only connections are the KeypadLinc Line and Neutral wires (nothing on the red load wire).

Perhaps but the door bell is 18-24V AC, the battery is 18V DC. The Low Voltage Probe is spec'ed for either but the internal circuitry to detect AC versus DC is different. Using a battery raised the question of correct polarity of connection which does not exist for the door bell AC. Checking the voltage verifies the Probe is wired correctly. As I mentioned before I think a call to the Smarthome Gold line is where the question belongs. There is nothing in the I/O Linc configuration that prevents the I/O Linc Sensor from turning On.

nowandthen Does the ISY show a firmware level for the ICON switch or is it v.00. If v.00 the ISY may be using the I1 technique to set On Level (applied locally) which can require a device power cycle to pick up. If the firmware shows as v.00 delete the device from the ISY and add it back using Auto Discover. Then try setting the On Level (applied locally) again. This should be done with the latest official release 3.1.17. If that does not work run Tools | Diagnostics | Event Viewer with Level 3-Device communications events selected and set the On Level (applied locally) to some new value and post the event log. Lee

This Program triggers when EZIO2X4 Input 1 turns On and sends a Notify If Status 'EZIO2X4 - 9' is On Then Send Notification to 'ALL' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Can you measure the voltage applied to the Low Voltage Sensor when the door bell button is pressed? I think this is a question for the Smarthome Gold line. Nothing the ISY can configure controls whether the I/O Linc Sensor turns On (Green LED turns On). There are options that control what command is sent when the Green LED turns On but nothing that controls whether the Sensor turns On. Pressing the Set button on the I/O Linc cycles the I/O Linc Relay On/Off. The LED below the Set button will change from dim to bright and back as the Relay turns On/Off. There is no manual control of the I/O Linc Sensor (Green LED).

The 2411T is a Controller only device. Like a ControLinc. There is nothing to turn On or Off. The KeypadLinc Relay Primary load control node should have On and Off. KeypadLinc Secondary buttons cannot be controlled directly with On and Off. These buttons have to be Responders in an ISY Scene and turn the Scene On/Off.

If it were that simple two devices wired into the same location would not have been damaged.

Unlike circuit breakers feeding Line (Black, Yellow in this case) from different 120V legs, the Neutral is not feed from a different leg. Neutrals return to a common bus. One problem would be if the Line came from different 120V legs but shared a Neutral. What is normal for a 240V circuit. If that shared Neutral becomes lose 120V devices can be feed 240V with terminal results. When the Neutral and Line are maintained as a pair, branching out to different locations, so long as the Neutral and Line remain paired the worst that can happen is a device losses power. When that pairing relationship does not exist bad things can result depending on what wiring defect occurs.

On means 100% On. Not Off covers the various Dim values between Off and 100% On

I don't think that is code but I'm not a licensed electrician. The code question aside two devices which have no load attached have been damaged. Could be they just decided to fail but I don't believe in coincidence. There is an electrical issue either the result of multiple neutral paths or they are making it difficult to analyze the actual failure. With the issue not been found using a meter I would disconnect all Line (Yellow) wires except at the location where the KPL was damaged. Connect a working KPL and see what happens. I understand that might damage a third KPL but I think the initial KPL will be okay with everything else disconnected. Then reconnect the other devices one at a time until the KPL shows a symptom. You might be able to catch it quick enough to prevent the third KPL from being permanently damaged.
