I use a couple of the Insteon 2634-222s as suggested by DennisC with no problems. My climate is in the Ottawa Valley in Canada with lows of -25F and many snow storms/ice storms etc. Insteon doesn't describe them as "waterproof" only as "outdoor". The case has several cracks where water could get in if submerged but they seem to get through driving rain/snow storms just fine. Note the specs only rate this device to operate down to -4F and unto 90% humidity.

Thanks guys. Good to know. Worked like a charm.

Recently, I had an internet outage which lasted 3 days. During that time my ISY994i operated just fine. Switches and sensors operated as per my programs. However, when I tried to launch the Admin Console (and Dashboard) I got this error even before the ISY Finder window appeared (it never appeared): I am using an iMac Safari with macOS High Sierra and running ISY version 4.6.2. The problem is that I can't see or program the ISY when there is no internet. Nor can I see the status of any of my devices. The ISY is on the same local network as my iMac but it seems I can't do any ISY monitoring if I do not have an internet connection. Is this error due to a setup problem on my Mac or is this normal? If a problem, what do I do to fix it?

I have a 220V 20A water pump. I would like to detect when it starts running and when it stops. It has the standard pressure tank and is controlled by a Square D pressure regulator. I would like some ideas on how to achieve this. My ISY system supports Insteon and Z-wave devices.

So I did remove the 2466S and wired it up with an "old extension cord" and plugged it in beside the 2413 PLM. And it all worked. So the 2466S is good. Thus I have concluded that it is a comm problem. Also it was installed in a metal box. Since removing it, I have re-wired things to give me a standard wall plug in which I plugged in a 2635-222 ON/OFF Module. It works fine.

The Firmware & UI on the ISY Series Controller is v.4.6.2. I will remove the 2466S and try your suggestion with the "old extension cord" later today. One thought that has occurred to me is that there maybe too much noise for the 2466S to communicate. I have had this problem with PVRs and switched to using a Z-wave switch. The 2466S giving me problems is switching an irrigation valve which has an electromagnetic actuator. But I would have thought that when the load is disconnected it wouldn't be generating any noise.

Today I wired in a new 2466S Rev 6.6 and when I tried to add it via the ISY, I experienced the same problem as you are experiencing. New Device Errors The following devices could not be added: xx.yy.zz Cannot determine Insteon Engine It works locally via the toggle but will not register thru the ISY. I have tried the same reset procedures you have with no joy. I'll be interested if you are successful with your new switches. Perhaps I just purchased a new "bum" switch.

Thanks for the clear explanation. I think I understand the concept.

Smokegrub: thanks for the suggestion. I already do this but looking at my state variable $PumpPower > 0 to detect if the pump is running. Larryllix: I assume in your example "control pump" would be my state variable $PumpPower which tells me the power draw. So the code the first part of the If would be If $PumpPower = 0 (pump is switched off) However, I am confused about how to code after the AND because isn't "NOT switched on" the same as pump is switched off? Is it AND $PumpPower Not > 0 I'm still a bit of a newby to this ISY condition evaluation stuff so I appreciate your patience. Thanks

I want to monitor the time between cycles on my water pump. In my ISY (version 4.5.4), I have a state variable which monitors the power it draws when running. So I know when it is pumping and when it is off. When the time period between cycles exceeds 60 minutes it is telling me that the water filter needs changing and I want to get a text or email message. Any help with some guidance on how to program this would be appreciated.
