  1. I want the motions sensor to activatea ligth ONLY if that lite is not already on via other controller. This program works but then if one of the controllers is already on the sensorr still activated the light (not desired). I now the culprit is the (and the motion sensor is not switched off) but I wanted it this way so that if I then switched off any of the controllers that light would stay on for the remained fo teh MS timer. Any suggestions? On Program: If Control '11.A0.A5-Sensor' is switched On And Control '11.A0.A5-Sensor' is not switched Off And Status 'Garage KPL A' is Off And Status 'Garage KPL D' is Off And Status 'KPL Kitchen A' is Off And Status 'KPL Kitchen - D' is Off And Status 'KPL Pool - G' is Off And Status 'KPL Pool - B' is Off Then Set 'Garage Back Lite' Fast On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Program off command: If Control '11.A0.A5-Sensor' is switched Off And Status 'Garage KPL A' is Off And Status 'Garage KPL D' is Off And Status 'KPL Kitchen A' is Off And Status 'KPL Kitchen - D' is Off And Status 'KPL Pool - G' is Off And Status 'KPL Pool - B' is Off Then Set 'Garage Back Lite' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
  2. great, thanks. Yes it did seem coincidnetal with unplugging or plugging in ethernet connection to other device on the same Enet switch, though it was just a coincidence but probably not
  3. Well...I really do not know, just seems like many times whne I open the door to the cabinet it goes off shorlyt afterwords, but I am sure every few minites is an exaggeration.
  4. OK so maybe I have too much time on my hands But I usually do not observe my ISY since it is behind a cabinet door, but lately I notice every few minutes I get a short 2 sec or so Mem and error LEDs on, despite my ISY working flawlessly. Is this a sign of an issue (paranoid because my other ISY, before Michel was kind enough to repelce, started out have the red light on after reboot and eventually went south on me.) Thx Joe
  5. Thanks oberkc, all worked fine!
  6. Perfect, Thanks! You brain food gave mine nourishment it needed to take it the rest of the way. Thanks!
  7. I tried to install this weekend a 220V Insteon Pool Pump switch http://www.smarthome.com/2494S220/Switc ... ure/p.aspx which is currently controlled by an X10 220V switch (my last X10 device!), but it appears I did not have a neutral. The switch is controlled by a GFI in the panel, and no matter what combination I would try the GFI kept tripping: 1) Tried no neutral 2) Tried Neutral to GND with no GND lead 3) Tried Neutral to GND with the GND lead also grounded and while understanding these may not work 4) Tired running the neutral to what I though was another neutral further up-line I know that pictures are needed and this is sketchy, but any thoughts would be appreciate (I reinstalled the X10 switch and everything works well enough again, so may just have to keep it this way) Thx Joe
  8. Yes the later. I think your suggestion makes sense, but I need to think about it, but I see what you are doing. I am not sure that you need the 3rd program if you had: if KPL #1 B is switched on or KPL #2 B switched on AND KPL #1 B is not switched off AND KPL #2 B is not switched off having the ELSE switch stop the program. Make sense? one question, if you had the two KPL in a scene as controllers and "turned off the scene" do the LED lites on the KPLs both go off? Thanks Joe
  9. I am trying to do something simple , but it escapes me. I have two separate KPL, each button controlling the same programs. note, they are programs and not scenes because it uses an X10 control in the program. the same button on each controls the same program, so lets say I press button B, I want the program to start and the LED to go on on both KPLs button B, Likewise, I want the LED to go out and program stop on both KPLs independent of which on I press to turn off. Simple in scenes, a little less simple for programs
  10. Thanks! The factory restore worked!
  11. Also, just tried a restore to R1, no luck
  12. Hi Michel Have an unusual issue that I would like your suggestion on how to resolve. For simplicity, I had a scene with KPL B as a controller to Responderes R1, R2, R3 and R4. I deleted that scene and created a new one and now have KPL B as a controller to a differet Responder R5. However, when activating KPL B, the old Responder R1 still responds also (along with the new R5 of course). I tried to add R1 and then Delete if from the scene to get rid of it, no luck. I tried a resore device on the KPL, no luck. any suggestions?
  13. no I did not. just loaded older backup and did a restore. In the future would it be better to do a factory restore first?
  14. Thanks for asking. After loading an older backup from a few days ago and trying to restore the two KPLs it worked OK. So good new is I got it all working again, bad news is I do not know what the problem is/was. It was very strange. Joe
  15. now two KPLs cannot be written to, all going haywired
  16. just now keeps saying failed to write
  17. no, I know about waiting, but never complete, now says cannot commincate with KPL-A, despite this being in the mesh for a long time and working fine
  18. Michel I urgenly need your help. I had some odd extra controllers in scene, not sure how rhey got there, but in any case after removing a KPL did notwork. In trying to do a resotre it is in an endless loop, write, then still shows green icon then when click batch button it tires to write again, over an over

    query my lighting

    Thanks! Knew it was easy!
  20. for the life of me I cannot find the program syntax for query My Lighting at 3AM every day, can someone repost?
  21. I have a MS turn on "garage lite" and sometimes the light does not come on and isy says "cannot communicate with 'garage lite' ". I made a test program that turns on then off the "garage lite" 20 items with 1 sec wait in between with no problems, so I assume the issue is that that MS communication link is the issue. However, the AP is only about 15ft away form the MS. Any thoughts? (yes it has new battery)
  22. so how do you know which of our backups are from 2.7.7 as it is not in the name of the saved file? so if I get this right, we reinstall 2.7.7, install our backup and migrate to 2.7.10?
  23. is this just SWLs or togglelincs also as this could explain some of my garage problems, both v35 togglelincs
  24. fitzpatri8 tried that and did not work,but as Sub-Routine says perhaps I need to power cycle the lamplinc. Will try tonight
  25. for the first time I have an application where I want the lamps local on/off switch to control a lamp plugged into a lamplinc. I know about load sensing, but it seems to always come on at 100%. Is there a way to have it come on at what the level the lamplinc is set?
