Thanks Techman, this MAY have been the problem, made changes and will see! " "You don't have any programs that use Control for a device and then send a Scene command to a scene which includes the same physical device. So different buttons from the same KPL are considered one device"

I know this is a tough one, but every several months (not regular intervals to my knowledge) I get random turn on of several of my scenes. It all happens at once. I cannot pinpoint the error with my event log nor my program summary. Last time it happened I remove an old program that may have been the culprit, but alas it happened again today. I know this is a tough one, but anyone see this issue? In other word does Insteon, by nature of RF just sometimes "glitch"? Today, it MIGHT have happened when someone entered the garage and the motion sensor went off, but I do not see any issue with the motion sensor program, nor like I said, it happens only once in several months

I recently upgraded to ver 5.x and all seems fine. It seems very similar to 4.x, just wanted to know what can you do with 5.x that is new. I assume some major differences since major version # change, but since I have a relatively simple system, maybe I just do not see any major changes...not that I am complaining as all works well! Joe

here is my simple program note that the workbench lite is part of a scene so the "turn on" in this program is redundant (and yes I do have the "on only" enabled)

I installed a new MS II in my garage, and works fine. I think the default sensitivity was "7". I see the numbers go up really high (I assume higher is more sensitive) and tried a much higher number but did not seem to help. Do I have the backwards? anyone play with this setting? Thanks Joe

How do I replace? do not see the selection in a program...probably missing the obvious

hi, just upgraded to 5.0.14 and my "Query All" seems to have disappeared. No problem, just rewrite it, but can't seem to see how to do that. I must be missing a simple command I just cannot find. any help Thx Joe

Hmm...now works perfectly, just like original MS. My only guess is when I was in testing modes I had the time difference between time out and program timer too small, with larger times works fine. Thanks All!

OK, let me rewrite it and see if works, if not will post. Thnaks much

Yea, agree. I tried that and it did not seem to work. on my old MS that would certainly work, but the new MS II it seems that when the motion timer program times out the lite the tuns off the lite even if more motion was seen, like the new motion did not restart the program timer. Do you have this working with an MS II? Thx Joe

Thanks Mitch, really appreciate it. I will have to digest this, but in practice, if the timer runs out and there is still motion, the light goes our for a while then back on after it can detect more motion? My previous solution was so elegant because this never happened as it kept sending ON signals so the timer kept resetting. Thnaks again, I really appreciate your extra effort! Joe

OK, maybe your on to something, as have not quite got all of the settings yet (eg not sure what multiple nodes does), but you said you have your working, can your tell me how or copy the program here?

Upgraded to 5.x (went very well), added a MS II, but it does not seem to be acting the same way as the original MS. The old one would send a new ON command each time it was triggered, but the new one does not seem to. Hear's how I am using the old one, let me know some thought on how to duplicate it with the MS II Old set up for a garage lite Had MS to send ON only had the MS in a a scene to control a light had a program to turn off the light IF certain time was met AND a min remote switch was in the OFF potion I did it this way so that since it was in the scene the ON would be quick, but the OFF was determine by a program and the condition of a switch so that I could override the OFF because sometime if we are in the garage without much motion it would turn off. The program would continue to reset the timer since each time it received a new ON command it would start over. with the new MS does not seem to work so I assume that the new MS does not repeat ON commands each time it detects motion....or as very possibly, I am missing something Thanks Joe

Great! Thanks, Guys!

Hi, I am about to upgrade to isy ver 5.x and so checking out all the prerequisites I noticedI have always been running Java 32 bit, even thought I am Windows 10 64 bit. Do I need to change the Java to 64 bit? does it make a difference? do I uninstall Java 32 first? Thx Joe

when I make changes to a device in a scene (like light level), I usually go then to each controller in the scene to hit the check box that says to copy changes from the scene. But in the scene setting there is a option to check "make changes to all devices" Does this mean it will make changes to all controllers in the scene>?..if so that would be great! I always assumed it meant change all the light levels to the recently set changes, which is never what I would want. Thx Joe

If I upgrade to ver 5.x (after making backup of current 4.x ver) and find issue, is it just a matter of reinstalling my backed up 4.x to revert back to previous state?

will this work if I am still on ver 4.x, without upgrading to beta ver 5.x?

thanks was just reading about those. if I install at the fixture and not at the switch, can I still use it in "latching mode" ie. sense the switch or do I need to set it a "without switch mode" since not near the actual switch? hope that makes sense

it seems the 2672-222 is not available anymore, so wondering if there is a simple solution for controlling a bulb in a non-insteon controlled lamp (without using a lamp module as this is a front porch light)

thanks I do not have any variables or unenabled programs, but I will make sure I have several hours free to do the debugging. Thnaks Joe

I am still on version 4.x, and wondering about the details to upgrade to 5.x. I see a caution on the 5.x beta release notes: "Upgrading from an ISY 4.x version to this version may require a lot of manual intervention including verifying scenes, programs and program settings are correct. The 5.x ISY firmware and the data files it uses has changed drastically from 4" but not sure exactly what that means to do. Is there an "upgrade detailed tutorial"? Thx Joe

Thanks. Is 5.x Riskey since in beta?

Just noticed the old motion sensors are not availbe anymore, and the new ones 2844-222 seem to have problems when I do a search on this site. are the problems fixed? do these work OK?

seems to be just a bad switch, at least the new dual band one did work right away, so problem solved, will keep a watch is it a "band-aide" withe the dual band or is it solid, but so far OK
