I have the green "0101" next to some remotelinc devices, but when I try to write to them the isy communicates with the device but then finishes with no errors but the green 0101 are still there

when trying to add to isy an old original Remotelinc (old type but never been used) I get the error message "Cannot determine Insteon Engine" and it does not add. any ideas?

Ha, today when I turned it on it that the ramp even faster it would not shut off when I hit the off switch. So I pulled out the airgap and just left it alone to take a look at this weekend. I agree, very strange Maybe it is self adjusting itself in preparation for Halloween. I will try the factory reset and see if that works

I have a switchlinc that has worked flawlessly for years but now when you turn it on either manually or remotely it ramps up and down and brightness over and over at about a five second cycle rate. I have tried a restore from the ISY but to no avail. Do you think a wire has come loose or is it just time to replace it?

OK, I think I got it! Thx

LeeG, one more question (I think a dumb one), the Kitchen D does not have to be physically turned on correct? i.e. it can be a responder to a scene that is turned on, that is OK correct? I would think so because as a responder to a scene the Kitchen KPL D lights up as planned, so I do not think this is part of my issue. Regarding your other suggestions I will try tonight. Thanks Joe

thanks! you are a great help, I will try tonight! Joe

still learning, yes. But ti seems to say at 31% even when I turn off KPL D and even if I turn off Garage lite, next time MS it is only 31%. so still an issue, I will have to study your comment further to see if I am missing something Thanks for all you rhelp

regarding two programs, yes for some reason I always start with two to make sure then combine after, no problem with that , right? Since I left the message above it is better now, gets dim and holds the dim level, major progress, but does not go back to 81% after I turn off Kitchen D off

LeeG does not work. Here are my programs: test - [iD 001F][Parent 0001] If Control 'KPL Kitchen.D' is switched On And Control 'KPL Kitchen.D' is not switched Off Then In Scene 'Motion Garage' Set 'Garage Back Lite' 31% (On Level) In Scene 'Back Garage-Sensor' Set 'Garage Back Lite' 31% (On Level) In Scene 'KPL Kitchen.D' Set 'Garage Back Lite' 31% (On Level) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') then off program: test 2 - [iD 0003][Parent 0001] If Control 'KPL Kitchen.D' is switched Off And Control 'KPL Kitchen.D' is not switched On Then In Scene 'Motion Garage' Set 'Garage Back Lite' 81% (On Level) In Scene 'Back Garage-Sensor' Set 'Garage Back Lite' 81% (On Level) In Scene 'KPL Kitchen.D' Set 'Garage Back Lite' 81% (On Level) Wait 1 second Set 'Garage Back Lite' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

"In Scene 'Garage Motion' Set 'Garage Back Lite' 31% (On Level) - for when the ISY Scene is used in a Program In Scene 'Motion Sensor-Sensor' Set 'Garage Back Lite' 31% (On Level) - for when Motion Sensor-Sensor is Controller In Scene 'KPL button D' Set 'Garage Back Lite' 31% (On Level) - for when KPL button D is Controller" LeeG, your message is finally sinking in, so all three lines are required, then I assume 3 lines to take the scene back to 81% when KPL button D is off?

so you can use it to disable a scene i.e. do not want a MS to control a light in a scene if some other condition exists?

Hi Paul That is exactly what I do ie, the MS does not send an off and a program manages the time. The issue is that when I want to set the "garage lite" to a lower lever the MS when activated sets it to the scene level, Unless I missed your point .

so there is a "set scene off command" I have never seen that! is it only on and "Else" path? I will have to try tonight

Sorry, this is similar to another post I made. There may be no way to do this…but have to ask. I used to turn on a “Garage Lite” from a motion sensor triggering a program, but I found the response quite slow. So recently I made a scene with “Garage lite” and “motion sensor” in the scene and it works great, very fast. However, before I made the change I used to have another KPL switch “mood light” which set “Garage lite” to a lower brightness and the motion sensor program was told not to turn off if the “mood light” was on. Worked fine, except as I said was slow. Now with the scene approach rather than the program approach, there is no way to make this work. That is when I have the “mood light” on it is OK until I walk by the sensor and the “Garage lite” turns on to the level of the scene. It seems there is a command to change the scene under certain conditions in a program, but this does not seem to help. As I said there may be no way to do what I am trying. Thanks Joe

I have only one X10 device, it is a 220 V and that used to work but now it stopped even when I replace the X10 device so my question is very simple, can the PLM fail and that it only does not work for x10. And yes it works with pure x10 controllers

doing some analysis where on a 220V x10 will not work off the ISY but other wise will work. Does the PLM ever fail in this mode where only the X10 function will not work?

yes, although has been working great for years, but I knowthings change. I ordered a new PLM just in case as the cost is less than the hassle, and I will see if it get stronger with the new PLM, strange day as I was convinced it was the switch, burnt many hours today does it k sense to try a PLM restore if it is working sometimes? i.e would seem like it would work or not if programming was the issue

OK now this is really strange! The old switch is now acting the same way, namely will respond fine to an x10 plampad controller, but not the isy,. Is it possible for the PLM to go out just for x10 as my other insteon devices work well??. I am very confused here. ok, now moving the PLM helped (and back again and also working) so the isy and PLM connection is the issue. again, does the PLM kind of get flaky near the end of its life??

I see that the original switch set up as an "A10" no sure of the differences if any than the generic X10

i put the old switch back in and it works OK. I thought it was the same type, but the old one was Leviton 6371-1 and the new one is a X10 PS2. Hmm, look they same exactly down to teh dimples on the top, so I just though different branding! wonder why?

I have one X10 device left. It is a 220V switch to control my pol pump. I changed it today and it will respond to the X10 Controls from an X10 controller, but not form the ISY, independent of what address I give it. I have the X10 module for isy, but even trying to send X10 signals seems not to work. any ideas?
