OK - I guess I thought this might be the answer but was hoping for a better solution . . . thanks. I'll post results after I replace the controller.

Interesting result; After factory reset it looked like it was going to link - the progress bar started counting up. It got to about 5% and then failed with a different statement - now says, "Cannot determine Insteon Engine". I've been wondering if I will need to upgrade from my 99i to the 994i but still would think that if the motion sensor links, this one should also . . . ISY firmware: v.3.3.10 UI: v.4.5.1

I've had an ISY 99i/IR PRO for a long time, and it's been reliable and easy to program - have about 20 devices connected. I just tried to add a 2845-222 hidden door sensor but have been unable to get the device to link. I have read through other posts for this device and understand the issues with linking a battery device - have tried several linking approaches. To narrow down the problem, I tried to link the sensor to an insteon hub - that worked fine. I have also previously linked a battery powered motion sensor to the ISY and that works fine. The ISY seems to start communicating with the door sensor (can determine the type of device when I have it auto discover) but still always comes back with "Cannot add insteon device" Below is what the even view log shows - any suggestions?
