  1. If that is a new ApplianceLinc do not assume it will work with 99i. Also "old" KPLs may or may not work. Depends on how old "old" is. Using a 99i with devices that have been working on a 99i is fine. Starting with a 99i is a bad idea. You need to move to a 994i with the latest ISY. Then when trying to add PLM and Access Points do not work you know it is something that should not be done. Now you do not know if it is the age of the device or something else.
  2. Sure. Do not add the RemoteLinc 2 button to a Scene. A simple Program something like RL2Variable - [iD 0082][Parent 0001] If Status 'RL2-8 - B / RL2-8 - D' is not Off Then $Int_Disable = 1 Else $Int_Disable = 0 Turning RL2 button D On would set integer variable to 1, turning button D Off sets variable to 0. The Variable would be used to And with the Motion On to control whether the Motion On would have an affect. That also has to be done in a Program. Cannot add a variable in a Scene directly to affect Scene execution. Motion1A - [iD 0068][Parent 0001] If Control 'MotionSensor2-Sensor' is switched On And $Int_Disable is 0 Then do something Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
  3. The 99i is both discontinued and past End of Life. The PLM and Access Points are not added to the ISY. The PLM is connected to the ISY serial port so the ISY is aware of the PLM. Access Points (now called Range Extenders) have no configuration associated with them so there is nothing the ISY would do with them. They operate as soon as they are powered. The IRLinc Transmitter, being the latest I2CS device. may not be known to a 99i since the 99i is well past End of Life. The 99i cannot be purchased any more. Where did that device come from? That device would not be used to start an Insteon installation. Many of the newer Insteon devices are not supported by the 99i. The Keypad device is listed in the device list but the latest KPLs are not supported by a 99i. Was the Link Management | Add Button to IRLinc Transmitter used to add the IRLinc?
  4. Are you using a 99i or 994i? The PLM and Access Points are not added to the ISY The IRLinc Transmitter uses Link Management | Add button to IRLinc Transmitter.
  5. If the PLM has its LED on then the PLM has likely failed. Safe mode means the ISY is not able to communicate with the PLM. Check the serial cable between the PLM and the ISY also.
  6. "not responding" depends on the device not ACKing a command. If the EZFlora ACKs the command but has a problem with the 24v supply to drive the valves that would not show as a "not responding" Suggest running Tools | Diagnostics | Event Viewer at LEVEL 3. Turn On a Zone and post the event trace.
  7. The error with 14 53 B3 is the result of the device not ACKing the On command. It takes 7 seconds for the PLM to ACK the receipt of the On command request followed by a Broadcast message from 14 53 B3 rather than the expect ACK of the On command. That is the cause of the error. There is too much Insteon activity going on at the same time. Insteon does not allow multiple Scenes or a Scene and Direct Insteon activity to run at the same time. This is discussed in the insteondetails.pdf document on insteon.com. The Scene initiated by the RemoteLinc button is running at the same time other Insteon activity has been started by the Programs. Multiple Programs are invoked at the same time, each doing Insteon activity. Without seeing those Programs it is not possible to analyze potential parallel Insteon issues. Analyze the Insteon activity and centralize it in a single Program or add Waits to prevent the overlaps.
  8. Unless that was a typo the UI must be updated to the 4.2.28 level. Start with a check of the devices used to couple the two 120v legs with the 4 tap Set button press beacon test. Make sure the devices are powered and perhaps were switched to a different 120v leg by the electrician.
  9. The non-Pro version has a limit of 256 devices/Scenes combined.
  10. It means that those three Motion Sensors are not communicating with the PLM if no other devices are linked to them. EDIT: They are not in range of a Dual Band device that can communicate with the PLM.
  11. Every device added to the ISY is linked to the PLM.
  12. Duplicate of another forum post that has the response.
  13. One or more Motion Sensor Responders did not ACK the motion message. From the Motion Sensor Quick Start Guide Sensor did not receive an acknowledgement from one or more linked devices. If this occurs repeatedly you may need to move a dual-band INSTEON device closer to the Sensor or you may need to unlink a device which is no longer in use in your home. If the INSTEON responders are no longer available, you may either use software or perform a factory reset to remove the unwanted links.
  14. Any time.
  15. The ISY Scene is defined first. The PLM is automatically the Controller for the ISY Scene. Then if appropriate an additional device(s) is added as additional Controller, the KPL button in this case. Then any Responders are added as needed. The KPL button is selected and the Responder On Level and Ramp Rate values are set for when the KPL button is pressed. This action does not affect the base ISY Scene. The Mobilinc cannot use the KPL button entry. It uses the ISY Scene definition which is still set at 100% On Level. Click the ISY Scene name and set the desired Responder On Levels and Ramp Rates for the ISY Scene.
  16. I would suggest the Admin Console where all Devices and Scenes are located. I do not use MobiLinc so cannot say if that is an alternative. Here is an example where the Scene1111 Responder On Level is 100% and the KeypadLinc button is 80%. For this scenario the Scene1111 Responder On Levels would be set to 80% so the MobiLinc response would be the same as the Keypad button press.
  17. That would work but I prefer Scenes. They are faster, they work even if the ISY is down for some reason. ISY Scene xxxx - PLM is Controller device X - Responder with On Level 100% when PLM is Controller device Y - Responder with On Level 100% when PLM is Controller KPL button A - KPL button A is Controller device X - Responder with On Level 80% when KPL button is Controller device Y - Responder with On Level 80% when KPL button is Controller Simply click on ISY Scene xxxx and set Responder On Levels to 80% MobiLinc cannot use the KPL button as a Controller. It invokes the ISY Scene which should have the Responder On Level of 80% set just like the KPL button Responder On Levels..
  18. The ISY Scenes driven from Mobilinc use PLM as the Controller. When the Scene is driven from the KPL button the KPL button is the Controller. The ISY Scene has unique Responder values when driven from the PLM, different than the Responder values when driven from a KPL button. Click on the ISY Scene name and set the Responder values appropriate for that ISY Scene.
  19. As soon as an Insteon device is a Controller of the FanLinc Light it can Dim the load. Even a Relay KPL will Dim when the button is pressed and held. All Insteon devices, relay, dimmer, secondary KPL button, etc have the ability to Dim when the button is pressed and held. The only way to prevent this is not have an Insteon device as a Controller of the FanLinc Light. A Program can be implemented to only issue a Fast On regardless of the command sent by a device triggering the Program. The Program can also issue a full Off when an Off or Fast Off command.is received. Since the FanLinc Light node is a Dimmer it may have problems with Hue bulbs regardless of using Fast On because a Dimmer chops the load even at full On.
  20. Currently a NC switch is being used, one that is described as " I cant wait to finally resolve these issues" with the new switch. Why would you chose a new NC switch to replace the current NC switch. Use the Black and Red wires to have a NO switch.
  21. Great news. Thanks for posting back results.
  22. Backlight level sets how bright ALL of the KPL buttons will be when turned On. Backlight does not actually turn On/Off a KPL button. To turn a Secondary KPL button On/On define an ISY Scene with one or more KPL buttons as Responders. Turn that Scene On/Off to turn KPL button(s) On/Off under Program control. ISY Scene 'scene1' KPL button x Responder KPL button y Responder Then Set Scene 'scene1' On Then Set Scene 'scene1' Off
  23. First, are you using a 99i or a 994i? Would not think a 2334-222 would add to a 99i. Is the Main-A button being used? If so it should turn On/Off the load (what is connected to the Red wire). Being able to turn On a load but not being able to turn it Off often indicates a noisy load, LED or CFL for example, that is not designed to Dim with a Keypad Dimmer.
  24. The new switch has three wires. The Green wire is not used. Cover the Green wire with tape to avoid an exposed bare wire. If you were using Trigger Reverse to handle working with a NC switch, the option is no longer needed with new switch. If you were using a Program to handle working with a NC switch, that Program is no longer needed.
  25. Red and Black wires to I/O Linc in place of existing magnetic switch connections. No polarity considerations. Tape Green wire. Trigger Reverse no longer used nor any Program to reverse Sensor state.
