perfect, thanks

I think I found an error, I will check tonight, thanks for all the help...will let you know if it was the stupid thing I think

test - [iD 0042][Parent 0001] If Control '31.8F.F5-Sensor' is switched On And Status 'KPL Kitchen.1' is Off And Status 'KPL Kitchen.D' is Off Then Wait 40 seconds Set Scene 'Garage Back Lite scene' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

The program is very simple, but the issue may be the motion sensor , so I have: All switches off except #5 for software control on in the motion sensor I have software programmed , on only commands, timer .5 minutes ( although is timer disabled with on only commands?), motion sensor tos send regardless of timer, nite only I think I am missing something basic, but I will try tonight when it gets dark ( btw I have always used dusk dawn from the isy to set command, but now with now only on the motion sensor will the light form the garage lite make the nit only now see day?)

I have been ISY 994i, is this upgrade to Zwave and if so are their any unique advantage like more device than insteon?

Need a little advice. For years I have been using motion sensor to run a program to turn on "garage lite", but it is kind of slow that way. The reason I was using the program is because if the garage lite was turned on by a different controller on a keypad I did not want the motion senor timer to turn off the light so I had a separate program to turn off when received "off" command AND KPL switch was not on. This works OK but kind of slow to turn on. Today I made a new scene and put the sensor in the scene along with the garage lite and set the motion sensor to send only on command. This made the lite come on much faster, great! Then I used a program to turn off the Garage lite after so many second after the motion sensor was "on" AND the KPL switch is not on. Seems to work erratically, but I cannot get consistent results. So rather than trying to debug "my way" perhaps there is some other way to make this work? Thanks much Joe

Ok thanks working now, so cross fingers

Okay,, I finally replaced the keypad,but I had the same problem that is pad number A would not work but the rest would. So in desperation I deleted the scen and started from scratch and now it works ok with the new keypad of cours. As the scene worked flawlessly for many years I can only assume it got corrupted. Has anyone seen this?

yes, sometime that is the symptom (turns on but not off), but mostly just does not work on or off. No load on the KPL, just controls a remote scene. why, what were you thinking?

OK I did as you said. seems again all of the other buttons when added to their scenes seem to work OK, but pad a after added to its scene sometimes works and most time not. the event viewer showed a lot of traffic (not totally understandable to me) on both turn on and turn off presses.

OK, will try

I have a 8 button KPL, and button A controls a scene, but has stopped working. I have restored the device, pulled button A from the scene and reinserted , but is does not work. All the changes were recorded OK in the program, and all of the other buttons perform correctly. The A button will light as a responder if other controllers in the scene turn on that scene, but button A will not control anything. It has worked for years with no recent changes, and all of the functions seem to be OK, just the Button A. Happy to replace, but not sure if a KPL would fail in this way. any guidance, it is appreciated. should I just replace it?

"- Your second program is curious to me...What happens if the sensor OFF command comes after dawn? Does the light stay on indefinitely? - are you concerned with denying yourself the ability to manually turn off the light if it were triggered on by the motion sensor. Given the approach you take, I assume you would have to first turn on one of your KPL buttons, then turn it off." yes, you are correct on the off command, I really do not need the dawn/dusk criteria, has not been a problem, but could be in a very narrow window yes, if the light is on from the sensor I can wait until time off or hit the kpl on then off, or hit off on a remote, works fine, no problem

Techman thanks for the response. I do have an access point quite close to the Motion sensor, but thought maybe a range extender would be better so ordered a couple. Oberkc for the program, I only want the motion sensor timer off to turn the light of IF it has not been turned on by an KPL switch that turned on that light. so the program on/off comand is something like: IF receive motion on comand And time is between dusk and dawn the next day And the KPL A is off (a switch for a scene that has that light in it) AND kpl D is off (a switch for another scene that has that light in it) Then turn light on IF receive motion off command And time is between dusk and dawn the next day And the KPL A is off (a switch for a scene that has that light in it) AND kpl D is off (a switch for another scene that has that light in it) Then turn light off

I have always had a little problem understanding the difference between "is on" status VS "turns on" control. For Example, I have a program that turns on a garage light for motion sensor, and it stays on until the motion sensor times out. There are a couple of conditions in the program: Is is between dusk and dawn, and if a KPL switch is off meaning I have not already tuned the same light via the KPL switch. This program has worked well for years with the condition "turns on", but recently was intermittent. so I replaced the motion sensor. Works half the time, so may be a communication issue, but I wanted to make sure I had the conditions correct. Should the program be for the light turn on be "if the motion sensor is on" or "when the motion sensor is turned on", like I said, I always had a bit of confusion in this area Thanks Joe

I have an ISY 994i pro, and it says it is field upgradeable to IR input, could someone tell me how I do this? Thx Joe

OK, maybe now I generated a new cert by following the instructions again, but how do I tell? all seems to work OK before and after the cert creation

OK I got the dashboard to work, but still confused how to get a new certificate

i just upgraded from 99i to 994i and all went well. However, I apparently am supposed to upgrade or reinstall my security certificate (don't know much about that) so following the instruction is says to go to the dashboard and make some networks changes that I guess cannot be made from the normal interface. When I follow the link it want to download a file with a .jpnl extension to open the dashboard, however for some reason my Java program is not associated with JPNL extensions, and I cannot seem to figure out how. The normal interface works fine

I have an ISY 99 Pro and I want to upgrade to 994 pro. How do I do this, and what process do I go through once I get the new unit meaning do i have to do anything with the PLM or the programming. What are the exact steps to get up and running with the new device. Also, do I have to return the old device

Ok first of all let me admit I am an isy addict and LOVE the interface and how well it controls my whole house setup, so sorry to even bring up smartlinc. However, I also have a cabin up in the Sierra mountains with internet connection, but no where close to the needs of the power of an isy. so my question is to merely turn on a few lights remotely and maybe a insteon thermostat will the smartlinc solve my needs.... or will I be excessively disappointed that I did not just spend the extra money on a second isy??? Thx Joe

yes, that seems to be working, thanks

I was not using a state variable but an int variable as I was changing the value myself when it was Xmas or not Xmas to run the programs in the appropriate folder, but I will try a state variable and see if that works, as variables are all new to me

Is it possible?

I wondered what post people do to set a condition for a folder of programs. I tried making the program folder conditional on the value of an integer, but when I changed the variable to the value to run The programs it did not run
