Is the Green LED On when the door is closed and the Green LED Off when the door is open? No Scenes are necessary to verify the ISY can move the garage door. Click on the I/O Linc Relay node. Click the On button to move the garage door.

The I/O Linc magnetic switch wires (2 wires) are connected to the I/O Linc S (Sensor) and GND. It does not matter which wire is connected to S and GND. The magnetic switch is not connected to the garage door opener. There is a Green LED next to the wire connections on the I/O Linc. This Green LED should be On when the garage door is closed and Off when the garage door is not closed.

The program can test for Fade Up. The possible issue is that Fade Up/Down moves up or down at a factory set speed. A Local Ramp Rate of 4 seconds would take a very long hold on or hold off. Thus like Fast On, Fade Up moves up over a 2 or 3 second time frame. It is possible that a hold on could turn the device On more than 20%. Would not be 100% On but the load might dim slightly down to 20%.

A Fast On (double tap) turns the device 100% On. That is the design of the hardware. The Scene lowers the On Level when the Scene executes. Do not use Fast On if going to 100% On is not acceptable.

tunamangye Remove Jumper 1 from both pins as that reduces motion sensor sensitivity by some 30%. Jumpers 2-4 make no difference when Jumper 5 is being used. Xathros will evaluate the Programming aspects.

I have multiple ISYs in the same house and find it useful to access multiple ISYs at the same time. This requires running multiple Admin Console sessions as the same Admin Console does not connect to different ISYs at the same time. Of course if interfacing with only one ISY at a time is satisfactory having multiple entries in the Finder window, as Xathros already indicated works as well.

I have not had my ISYs off for days because of power issues but they have been powered down for several minutes, more than long enough to completely cycle down. They have always powered up and been completely functional without manual intervention.

The link for the motion sensor to send Sensor On/Off messages is created when the motion sensor was added to the ISY so no motion sensor interaction is expected when the Program is saved. There are various items that affect Program operating. What are the motion sensor options? Is it is On Only mode which would require If Control rather then If Status. Post the actual Program. Right click on Program name and select Copy to Clipboard. Paste into forum. The Wait may well have a problem if the motion sensor is not in On Only mode. Suggest running Tools | Diagnostics | Event Viewer at LEVEL 3 when motion is sensed. Paste the event trace file to a forum post.

What OutletLinc/device activity occurs when the Status is wrong? If the device plugged into the controlled outlet is manually operated or turned On/Off with the manual On/Off buttons the Status change is not sent back to the ISY. Note the specs for the OutletLinc Dimmer shows the device functions as a Controller. The specs for the OutletLinc Relay indicates it has no Controller capability.

Would you explain in detail the situation. The 2473S functions as a Receiver only device so manual operation will not be reflected in Admin Console Status.

How has the I/O Linc Relay connected to the garage door opener? How many buttons does the garage door opener have?

The nodes for 1E.0B.A8 look like the entries for a 2441TH. Was the 2441TH removed from the ISY? The Program will execute the Then clause at 6:00 AM. Defining the Program during the day (after 6:00 AM) does not cause the Program to trigger. There is no clock API.

A change to the State variable value causes the Program to trigger. As OUTDOOR_TEMP goes from 52 to 53, 53 to 54, 54 to 55, etc the Then clause executes Or ( $OUTDOOR_TEMP > 52 And Status 'Outdoors / Pond - winter pump' is 100% )

The API to the weather information has changed and the fee to access the new API is too high to make its use practical. UDI is working on an alternative.

The simple solution is to split the Program into two Programs. If From Sunset + 30 minutes To Sunrise - 30 minutes (next day) And Status 'Exterior Patio-Sensor' is On And Status 'Patio Lights Kitchen Door' is Off And Status 'Patio Lights Living Rm Right' is Off Then Run Program 'xxxx' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Program 'xxxx' If Then Set Scene 'Patio Lights' On Wait 1 minute and 30 seconds Run Program 'Patio Motion Lights OFF' (If) That way when any of the Status changes occur the second Program will not be affected.

The first thing to look at is how long the motion sensor reports On Status. If it turns Off before the 1 minute 30 second Wait expires the 'Patio Motion Lights OFF' Program will not be invoked because of the change in Sensor Status. The second item to look at is what Scene 'Patio Lights' turns On. If this Scene changes the Status of 'Patio Lights Kitchen Door' or 'Patio Lights Living Rm Right' the 'Patio Motion Lights OFF' Program will not be invoked because of the change in Status of either of these devices. If From Sunset + 30 minutes To Sunrise - 30 minutes (next day) And Status 'Exterior Patio-Sensor' is On And Status 'Patio Lights Kitchen Door' is Off And Status 'Patio Lights Living Rm Right' is Off Then Set Scene 'Patio Lights' On Wait 1 minute and 30 seconds Run Program 'Patio Motion Lights OFF' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

If the Event Viewer shows ToggleLinc ACKing the On command but does not physically turn On, I would Factory Reset the device. Then do a Restore Device to reload the link database. If that does not correct the problem replace the switch.

Is the Variable an Integer or State Variable? Also post the actual Programs. Two of them have invalid statements. Right click on Program name, select Copy to Clipboard. Paste to forum post.

The old RemoteLinc has no means to have a button change its operational characteristics. Might try a new set of batteries. There is only a few weeks remaining to take advantage of the 99i to 994i update.

pgovotsos FYI - all Insteon devices that are powered from 120v have a PLM internally (battery powered RF only devices are an exception). The PLM is the only chip that communicates the Insteon protocol over the powerline.

The EZIO8SA (with an external PLM because the EZIO8SA daughter card would not fit inside the normal PLM shell) communicates with an ISY/PLM like any other Insteon device.

If the router has been set up to port forward from the external IP to the ISY then Enable Internet Access is not used. Enable Internet Access and port forwarding are mutually exclusive. Port forward is the preferred method as the definition made with Enable Internet Access can be lost when the router reboots. If you cannot get notification to work suggest opening a Ticket with UDI tech support. There are some requirements where both Subject and Body are necessary for email to work. Tech support can walk you through that set up.

Insteon does not have devices to do that. It may be possible to use the RF aspects of Access Points to do that. Depends on what the RF signal has to pass through to get between the house and the garage.

That is the way to do it. Scenes between devices is the most direct, fastest way to accomplish task. Each Scene should have a SwitchLinc and a KeypadLinc button as Controllers. Both devices can operate the load and both devices reflect the status of the load.

The I/O Linc is in use by hundreds of users controlling garage door openers. The I/O Linc is a good device with one relay. I have been using a pair of EZIO2X4's for years controlling doors in a detached garage (2 relays per device).
