  1. Momentary A accepts either On or Off "Scene" commands but not both. The On Level for the Scene Responder Relay determines which Scene command. Responder On Level 100% for Scene On command, 0% Responder On Level for Scene Off command. A Direct Relay On command turns the Relay On. Momentary B accepts both Scene On or Scene Off to turn the Relay On. A Direct Relay On command turns the Relay On. All the Momentary mode information relates to Scene commands.

    Program IF statement

    Line 2 in If is all that is needed.
  3. Thanks Brian. Should make for some interesting trouble shooting when a Dual Band device is not really a Dual Band device. I wonder if that means the device does not relay in the mode that is turned Off as well as not sending it's own commands in that mode. Did not find any info in owner's manual.
  4. You're welcome. The Scene does not change the commands issued when a button is pressed. Pressing the button On sends an On command, pressing the same button again sends an Off command with both buttons being Off. If looking for an On/Off button combination you may want to use Buttons Toggle Mode function to set those two buttons into non-toggle On mode. That does not affect what the Scene is doing with the button LEDs. May not make a difference in your situation.
  5. There are many folks that already have a PLM from previous work with Insteon
  6. It is automatic. The RF/powerline signal is sent in the blind. Any device receiving the signal repeats it. There are rules of course, all internal to Insteon devices. On insteon.com there is an insteondetails.pdf document that describes how all that works together if interested. Not needed to use Insteon but good reading for those interested in the internal details.
  7. They do not automatically come with a Serial PLM as some folks have the PLM from using HouseLinc, PowerLinc, etc. Check with the distributor/seller, explaining it was a gift, as an ISY/PLM package is usually less expensive than purchasing the two items individually.
  8. Now you can redefine all the Scene/Program connections. Would have been easier to Enable device. A device is not marked Disabled because the ISY encountered an error. That could lead to a Red ! but not Disable. The Disable option was clicked (by accident ?) .
  9. The Red circle indicates the KPL is "Disabled" which is why there is no Query option. Right click on Primary node and select "Enable"
  10. The 2406H is a passive coupler, taking the Insteon signal on one 120v leg and coupling it to the other 120v leg WITHOUT any adjustment. If the Insteon signal arrives at the power panel at reduced signal level, which is normal, it starts on the other 120v leg at that reduced signal level. I suggest using a pair of Range Extenders (were called Access Points) to perform coupling. EDIT: that way the coupled Insteon signal starts at maximum signal strength.
  11. Yes. Define an ISY Scene with the two KPL buttons as Controllers. Click on the first Red node below the Scene name (button C for example) and set the On Level for the other KPL button (button D for example) to 0% On Level. Click on the second Red node below Scene name (D for example) and set other button (C for example) to 0% On Level. Pressing C will turn D Off, pressing D will turn C Off.

    IRLinc

    The reason for going back to basics is the conflicts that currently exist. The 40 default codes loaded into the Harmony Remote are RC5 IR codes associated with the ISY IR feature. They do not apply to a 2411R which receives NEC IR codes. The 2411T sends IR codes in response to received Insteon commands so the Harmony Remote is not involved at all. Need to understand what the objectives are so the right combination of equipment can be chosen.

    IRLinc

    Starting with the basics, do you have a 2411T or 2411R? You want to send commands from KPL or RemoteLinc 2, for example, to have 2411? control your Home Theater devices with IR commands that equipment understands? Or you want to send IR commands from the Harmony Remote to control the Home Theater equipment? Or something else?
  14. That link describes adding a code from other than the Credit Card Remote to have an On/Off Toggle. That information describes setting the Scene Activation buttons as either On only or Off only which is also covered in the IRLinc Owners Manual. That link does not describe setting a Scene Activation button to Toggle mode. NEC is one of the flavors of IR codes, the type the IRLinc R understands. Google IR NEC. Using a Universal Remote set to NEC, the IRLinc will learn codes other than those used by the Credit Card Remote. According to that old post those codes produce a Toggle mode button. The IRLinc Owners Manual does describe setting up a Universal Remote but does not identify which codes actually work. Would need to use a Universal Remote and try various NEC codes to find those that work with the 2411R.
  15. Multiple Credit Card Remotes should work but would not provide 12 more Scenes. From the IRLinc Owners Manual. Scene Activation Buttons These buttons provide smooth and simple scene transitions for when a scene doesn’t need an OFF command • Tap to activate a scene • Press & hold to toggle between brightening or dimming the scene
  16. Right click on device node and select Disable
  17. That is correct, standard Insteon operation. Also not limited to Secondary buttons. The load control button will Dim/Brighten a linked Dimmer as well. The KPL User Guide will likely provide that information since it is an Insteon capability having nothing to do with the ISY. Also applies to SwitchLincs, ToggleLincs, etc since it is an Insteon capability. Refer to page 8 of the current KeypadLinc Owners Manual (from Smarthome web site). There are two charts covering what happens when a button is tapped and when button is pressed and held. Link - corrected to point to Owners Manual http://cache-m2.smarthome.com/manuals/2334-2xx.pdf

    Run at Startup

    It has been my understanding the Run at Startup is required for a Program to be invoked by the ISY at reboot. I've run many tests with these two Programs and the only Program to Run at Startup is AAA3 which has that option. That does not mean another Program could not Run a Program without the Startup option, only that the ISY does not start a Program. AAA3 - [iD 0043][Parent 0001][Run At Startup] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Repeat Every 1 minute $IAway += 1 Else Repeat Every 1 minute $IAway -= 1 AAA4 - [iD 0074][Parent 0001] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Repeat Every 1 minute $IVar4 += 1 Else Repeat Every 1 minute $IVar4 -= 1
  19. The procedure for adding motion sensor Temporarily plug Access Point into PLM passthru outlet Use New INSTEON Device. Enter Insteon address of motion sensor Name of your choice Device Type - leave as Auto Discover Before clicking Ok manually put motion sensor into linking mode with Set button Position motion sensor within a few feet of PLM Click Ok on New INSTEON Device Would be good to have Event Trace running at LEVEL 3 for documentation if add does not work

    The Scene working from the Admin Console and a Program is using the PLM as the Scene Controller. Are the ISY Scene definitions like .... Scene xxxx KPL button E - Controller LampLinc - Controller Scene yyyy KPL button F - Controller SwitchLinc - Controller The LampLinc and the SwitchLinc must be defined as Controllers.
  21. The Duplicate messages are the result of the RemoteLinc 2 issuing multiple copies of the same message. All the battery devices do the same thing. Line 13 is a duplicate of line 1. Line 23 is a duplicate of line 19. These duplicates are normal and expected.

What is needed is another screen capture showing Boys Motion Sensor after pressing RL2 button. If it is not Disabled look at the Programs | Summary page to see if the Program triggered by the RL2 was actually Run.

    That is a very different problem. Describe the ISY Scene definition. Could be a Scene problem, could be a comm problem between to other device and the KPL.
  23. Does the 4 tap Set button test show the Access Points on opposite 120v legs?
  24. LeeG

    8-Button Keypad

    Sounds like the toggle mode for E-H is not Toggle On/off. What do those buttons do when pressed? I would Factory Reset KPL and then do a Restore Device.
  25. How many 2443 Access Points (ones without black external antenna) are being used? Since the PLM is not Dual Band it will take two Access Points to couple the 120v legs. If the Access Point is on the opposite 120v leg to the PLM and is the only Access Point the motion sensor RF will not be coupled to the PLM.
