    Can't add 2420m

    This is a problem in 2.7.10, the fix is to factory reset the ms and select Link Management > New Insteon Device then add a name, address and select [10.01] (2420M) Insteon Motion Sensor from the drop down box and then press the Add devices found in links and keep existing links. Tim
  2. I noticed the newest (rev2) ms dusk/dawn will not change status until the ms is off for 3-5 minutes. So the light turned on via the ms will not affect the d/d operation. I cannot think of a way, even thru the use of programs, which would not affect your set up, one way or another. If the lite is on, your ms d/d will turn dawn on. Once the ms turns off it wont turn back on via motion until the d/d is back to dusk. Sorry I couldn't help more. Tim
  3. I am having the exact same problem as hart2hart with 2.7.10, MS v1.1 and 2.0 Thanks, Tim Edit: I did find that the MS could only be added by New Insteon Device and selecting Add devices found in links and keep existing links Tim
  4. Hi gfridland, Sounds like you have ruled out stray x10 and insteon signals triggering the scene via the log. Have you looked thru the program summary tab in the isy to try and match times with the scene turning on? Or you could disable all programs for a night to rule them out once and for all. Please keep us posted. Tim
  5. The beauty of the ISY is that it is the brains behind the whole HA. If you have to manually link v35 SL devices the ISY is no longer in control. Not to mention the fact that manual linking is/can be a lot of extra work. I am sorry but if I had problem v35 SL's I would want the next rev. and be done with it. But thats just my opinion, Tim
  6. If you want the program to continuously run until false you can add "Run If" in the "Then" section. Prgm: Entry Lite Status If Status 'Entry KPL 1 Lite' is On Then Set 'Entry KPL 1 Lite' Off Run Program 'Entry Lite Status' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') This prgm example will keep trying to turn off the entry kpl 1 lite until the status of the lite changes to off. Tim
  7. If I understand correctly, it should be possible. You may need to add a couple of programs to do it. I have mine set so that after 5 minutes of no motion in the room the On level reverts back to the original programmed level. But if motion is detected within the 5 minutes the lights turn back on to the manual switched level (preset scene on levels).
  8. I would like to clear up an incorrect statement I made. At 10:00PM the folder will turn "True" and stay true (I dont know what I was thinking ) However if you want the programs to run in the folder only as specified times then using "From 10:00PM to 6:00AM next day) would turn the folder true at 10PM and false at 6AM. Sorry about that. So any program in that folder can run if their conditions are met while that folder is "True." Program name: MBath Sink Lite 0% Adj If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Wait 2 seconds In Scene 'MBath MS-Sensor' Set 'MBath Sink Lites' 0% (On Level) Set 'MBath Sink Lites' 1 (Beep Duration) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') If this program (Program name: MBath Sink Lite 0% Adj) was in the folder and the folder became "True" this program still wouldn't run until something called it to run. But if this program (Program name: MBath Sink Lite Day) were also in the folder: Program name: MBath Sink Lite Day If Program 'Time Sunrise+10 to Sunset-10' is True Then Wait 2 seconds Run Program 'MBath Sink Lite 0% Adj' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Then if the folder were "True" and the If statement (of MBath Sink Lite Day) became true then this program would call the previous program (MBath Sink Lite 0% Adj) to run. Tim
  9. Hi Wayne, Right, you simply link the MS to the ISY, then link the SL to the ISY. Then create a scene in ISY and drag the MS and SL into the scene. A program without an "If" statement will not run until called upon by another program (or selecting "Run Then" in the "Program Summary" tab). Any programs (even "Then" only programs) in a folder that is "False" will not run. I believe the folder will only run for 1 second. It will turn "True" at 10:00:00 PM, then turn "False" at 10:00:01 PM. Better to have "10:00 PM to 6:00 AM the next day." Tim
  10. Hi Wayne, I have set up 4 different on levels for our masterbath. Each of the on levels is instant when motion is detected. In the evening the lites turn on with motion to 75%, after 9:30PM they turn on at 30%, after 3:30AM if we are up they will turn on to 60% and during the day they do not turn on at all. I have also set up a manual override which will turn on to 80% with a single tap or 90% with a double tap. 5 minutes after the motion shuts off with no further motion I have the programming resume its normal daily schedule. If the motion turns off then back on during the 5 minute time period the lites will turn on to 80 or 90% whichever tap was used. I have been very happy with the way it all works, although on a few rare occasions it would be nice to have the lites stay on after the ms turned off. I have done some experimental programming which would trick the system and give the appearance the ms off trigger was ignored. It worked pretty well but was very program intensive. I like Michel's suggestion of using folders and had I used them as he suggested it probably would have cleaned up my programming a bit. In fact when I continue with the experimenting mentioned above I may be able to utilize them to make programming easier. Anyway for now it works fine. In order for this to work the SL and MS have to be linked to the ISY. Scenes are then created in the ISY for the SL and MS as needed. I believe the scene adjust works in this situation because the on level and ramp rate is stored in the SL and not the MS. If they were stored in the MS this wouldn’t work without putting the MS in programming mode. Tim
  11. I have since included this set up in our master bathroom but included extra programs to offer 4 differet On levels depending on the time of day or night. I also created some programs which when the light is turned on manually during the day will reset the On level so that any motion will turn the lights on, until 10 minutes after the last motion detection then resets the On level to the previous state. It has been working very well so far (about 3 months). In fact I have added similar programs to our entry hall light and my work room light. I dont see why not. The two halves of the case have a seal and the battery door is sealed as well. I used 1 outside for about 6 months without any problems. Tim
  12. Hi oktane, That is correct. If you select the MS to adjust, your only options are 0% and 100%. The adjust scene part of the program should look like: In Scene 'MS-Sensor' Set "Dimmer' 55% (On Level) ( "MS-Sensor" and "Dimmer" would be replaced with whatever name you have given them, and the On Level is replaced with your desired level). Also it is important when selecting the ms that you scroll up to the devices and select the ms, not select the scene the ms is in. Hope that helps. If not maybe you could post your program and some of your specifics. Tim
  13. Hi Michel, Right click on Low Batt node and select query? Doesn't do anything. That is what I figured, again right click on "1" and select query and it doesn't do anything. Suggestions? Should I just wait for the final beta version?
  14. I have been unable to clear the "low batt" indicator from a motion sensor on the admin console by doing a query on the node. I have tried with the ms in linking mode and not in linking mode. Nothing happens when I press the query button, no progress bar or anything. Nothing on the event viewer, even at level 3. Speaking of query, I noticed also that when query is pressed for the ezflora nothing happens either. All of the other devices are able to be queried. Am running 2.7.7 alpha. Thanks, Tim
  15. How about a relay and I/O Linc? Relay coil wired to load side of GFI. Relay contacts connected to I/O Linc sensor input. When the relay de-energizes the I/O linc sends an Off or On depending on how you want it to report the GFI trip. And, if you want to get a little MacGyver-ish - wire a solendoid actuator to the I/O Linc output. Write a program where if the GFI trips the I/O Linc energizes the solenoid which presses the reset switch on the GFI!!!! (just kidding). Tim
  16. Hello Michel, Here is the link to the icon appliancelinc. http://www.smarthome.com/2856S3B/ICON-Relay-INSTEON-Appliance-Module-3-Pin/p.aspx
  17. Confirming, I have the same problem with the icon appliancelincs installed in the last week with 2.7.7alpha when installed with "start Linking." If installed with "new insteon device" then they came up as v.00 Icon appliancelincs installed on 2.7.6 registered properly using "start linking." Tim
  18. Is the 1st.Bath1.Light.Shower controlled by a switchlinc dimmer and the 1st.Bath1.Fan controlled by a switchlinc relay, both directly? Are you only concerned with running the program to turn the light and fan off when the respective switch is locally turned on?
  19. I believe it restarts the program because the action of the second program is causing a change in the status which the first program detects and it restarts. In other words everytime there is a status change the first program re-evaluates and will call the second program to restart. Tim
  20. Hello Michel and mvprj84, If I am following this post correctly I had the same problem with my garage door / IO Linc setup. The v.36 I/O Linc is supposed to retain the “Trigger Off†check box memory after a power interruption, previous versions didn’t. But when I linked it to the ISY and set up the links to some KPL buttons I found the I/O Linc wouldn’t retain memory. However Steve Lee from SH informed me that you have to manually link the sensor to your responder/s before linking to the ISY, then you can link the I/O to the ISY. After following his advice the trigger off box stays checked after power interruptions. Tim
  21. Perfect. Got it working. Thanks again for the links! Tim
  22. Thanks for the information. I tryied as you suggested and the computer wouldnt boot up so I will start studying the link you provided. Thanks again, Tim
  23. I have been trying to use wol in the network tab and so far have been unsuccessful. I have followed the wiki instruction including the dashes between bite sets for the mac address of each computer. I logged onto my router and copied the mac address and ip address for each computer. I have set up the network card configuration for wol and magic packet. When the computers are off the 100mb led is lit on each computer indicating the lan card is powered up. When I press test in the network tab the router action leds flash momentarily but none of the computers turn on. Any help would be greatly appreciated? Thanks, Tim
  24. Well, based on this thread http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?p=25532#25532 I for one am going to hold off on the new dual band products until they have a good track record. Tim
  25. Hi Rich, One thing you could try is to just disconnect the wires to the triggerlinc and short the terminals (or leave them disconnected depending on whether the contact type is N.O. or N.C.) for a day to see if the status problems continue. Also, have you checked the log to see if the triggerlinc shows up at around the time the first email is sent? Tim
