This is all awesome. Glad to see some life with Insteon. Nice work on these buttons - that really helps step up the game. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are we sure Alexa’s preferred pronouns include “she”? Regardless, my view is it should be referred to as “It”. Real women are quite powerful and some don’t need Alexa to run timers in the kitchen [emoji2368] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Seems sad that light people went to the moon with rockets and computers probably less powerful than the ISY but you can’t figure out your fans. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Funny. Also funny that probably some are frantically researching how to do this! Hope you can answer all the follow up questions : - ) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Glad I could help. Keep plowing ahead. I think a proper USB to serial connector is your next step if you can’t access with RP2 to the Elk via Ethernet. That will eliminate variables. If you need a new XEP so be it. Better than a rip and redo! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like you have a plan. If you don't get installer approval just ask for homeowner / user. Should get you what you need. I was going to suggest connecting RP2 via serial if you have a way to do that. That would be a good start. You can also access the logs through a keypad - I believe it's Elk key, 4, Right Arrow There are several knowledgeable users at cocoontech.com as well. Good luck!

Do you have RP2? I guess I'm confused now. I have access as a homeowner / self-installer. Elk technically doesn't directly support end users but they will let you download the software. Give it a try, not sure anything has changed. That said, hopefully you have the installer code to access the panel... I probably can't help much about the M1XEP. Sounds like you know that it's properly on the same network as the ISY and RP2 tries to connect? There is also an Elk support forum that you can post to once you get your account. End users will sometimes get answers there from Elk employees.

@TriLife you should be able to get access to RP2. You might need to register again with Elk (perhaps similar to you my login stopped working sometime within the last couple years as I think they changed something on their end). If you don't have the original RP2 database files, make sure that when you first connect RP2 to the ELK that you grab all the info from the panel into the RP2 software so you don't lose your configurations. Once you get a new account, you can download here: https://www.elkproducts.com/product/m1-programming-software-elkrp2/ Not sure if having RP2 will solve everything as I don't know what you mean exactly by the Elk is "acting up". But if I were you I'd start by getting the software.

That is fascinating and news to me. Any articles on this to share? I sure hope they weren’t using the Insteon hub [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This sounds similar to a problem I was having with a KPL and fanlinc. I was controlling fan speed but not lights. Keep in mind the Insteon “fast on” behavior of scenes. A double tap of the button causes fast on, which turns all the scene responders on even if they are set to Off in the scene. The only workaround is a program. I don’t mind the 1 second delay with a program for fan speed since it’s not that noticeable but could be with a light involved. Your guests will probably care less about a slight delay than they will about fan and light behavior that’s the opposite of the off that’s intended. I’d suggest deleting the scene and trying a program as my hunch is it’s fast on behavior not comms related. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love free speech. That said though it would be helpful if some ambitious person went through this thread and pulled out the relevant “instructions” on the repair and any caveats that have been mentioned throughout. Maybe that’s already been done (where?) but frankly at this point it might be more difficult to find the relevant portions of this thread than to actually do the repair? I don’t have a real opinion on this latest tangent but instead have long thought that pulling out the details here would be helpful. Could be 1 page instead of 650+ posts : - ) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bummer. I will miss that feature even though it’s a small piece of puzzle for me. It’s nice to use the universal AV remote to control lights when watching movies. I could use plex webhooks but not everything is watched on plex. And with harmony dropping their remotes I’m not sure what technology would fill the void. Would need to somehow send IP commands to the ISY via AV remote I suppose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We should start a sub forum of Insteon items for sale that are pulled from working environments owned by those throwing the towel. I suspect a lot of interested buyers, at the right price of course. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quick with the draw! I recently did the same thing and referred to that post. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi [mention]Javi [/mention] Is this forum the preferred way to submit feedback and comments on the iOS beta? I’ve installed it and like many things about it so far. Hope to try and crash it soon [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
