  1. Thanks for all the info. I may or may not test a better location but then the issue becomes how to place the ISY and PLM... I don't want to have these devices mounted in the middle of a living room / kitchen etc. And thanks to this forum, I have found that Costco now offers Insteon products, one of which is a 4 pack of bulbs for $99 which is a deal - so I'll just use those bulbs to replace the 'unreachable' X10. Speaking of bulbs - are there any other bulbs out there that work well with ISY? I've read in the forum that the Hue bulbs are OK but require their own hub... again, that would be adding hardware where my main goal is to minimize.
  2. Well, good news / bad news... Two of my X10 switches worked with the modified program - thanks Stu! But my X10 switch farthest away did not respond. Is there a proper way to test different outlets... meaning, can I plug the PLM into an extension cord and try different outlets and if yes, what is the least involved - proper shut down / start up procedure? Thanks guys. I was really starting to doubt my ISY purchase, but with a support community like this, I think I can make this work,
  3. Thanks, I've changed the programs, I'll update in the morning.
  4. I believe one of them are soft start enabled, the other two are older. As for what is sending the Status On.... well, nothing, that seemed to be the only choice from the content menus... programming choices for X10 devices seem different than for Insteon.
  5. I’m new to the ISY994i world but have about 12 yrs experience with X10 devices which I controlled via Active Home Pro. I currently have installed 2 Insteon receptacles and an Insteon bulb that are all working and responding to programs wonderfully. The issue I’m having is with my three X10 WS467 switches. These WS467 control my outdoor lights and have all operated as expected via Active home for years but I cannot get them to work via ISY. I created the following simple program: If X10 'C1/on (3)' is received And From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) Then Send X10 'C1/Status = On ( ' Else Send X10 'C1/off (11)' I have tried to test it with the “Run Then” command with no luck. Possible issues… I am using a different outlet for the PLM than I had used for my Active Home interface and assuming there may be noise on the new outlet I tried connecting to the ‘old’ outlet via an extension cord. This did not work as it seemed to put the program into a loop which in-turn locked up the program and seemingly blew up the PLM. I have since replaced the PLM and restored / successfully tested all programs other than the X10 modules. I’d appreciate any guidance on my program.
