ENCJP

I implemented this today and it works great. Thanks again for sharing!

Thanks for sharing @Athlon, this is very clever!

If you don't mind sharing, I'd be interested in hearing how you have this setup.

So far so good after doing the reset and restore. Thanks!

The PLM is the closest device to it. When I run the Event Viewer - thanks for that tip btw - It shows 3 Hops left. I'll try a factory reset on the MSII next. I also have an unopened one I'll try if this one doesn't fall in line.

I got it last week... it's possible the battery that came with it has drained, but unlikely. The first part of the video is in one take (continuous). If I watch the sensor while being out of its range, the LED does not flash. It seems to only flash when it detects motion. I think that the sensor is detecting motion but sometimes is not communicating it to ISY. Another thing I've observed is that sometimes it will leave the light on - rather than turn it off after no motion for 30 seconds. When it does this (leaves the light on), later I can pass through and observe that the LED flashes when it sees me - 30 sec later it will turn it off. I don't see any "misses" in the ISY Log. Every time the MSII tells ISY that its status is "on", the lights in that scene are set to "on". Every time that the MSII tells ISY that the MSII status is "off", the lights are set to "off".

I have it setup as just a scene controller... no programming at this point. The sensor settings are out of the box except for changing the Motion>Report to On & Off.

Here's the behavior I'm seeing

Sort of still on topic but a bit more MSII behavior-specific... have you guys had issues with it not consistently waking up and sending commands to ISY? About 75% of the time it responds and turns on the light in the scene. The other 25% of the time, I can wave my hands in front of it and it does nothing. After it doing nothing, I can pass by it later (5 - 10min) and it works as it should.

I didn't have luck using motion status to trigger a program, but it works as intended when setting the MS as a controller for a scene.

Good to know... I won't use the "Beep" button for determining comm status. I'll give it a go again this evening and report back.

I upgraded my ISY to Beta version 5.0.14 this weekend after buying some Motion Sensor II's during SmartHome's sensor sale. ISY can find the device by address and I was able to set it up. It seems that after setting it up, it disconnects. To see if it's connected, I'll click the "Beep" button and the Admin console with say that it cannot connect to the Motion Sensor II module. If I toggle the Motion off (red LED) then back on (green LED), it will connect and the MS responds to the "Beep" button. After a bit, if you try, it will fail with the error message again. The ISY is within 10 ft of the MS and there is also a dual band FanLinc in the area. What are my best steps for troubleshooting this?

2 Nightlights at 4W apiece (8W total) were not enough. I plugged a shop incandescent "fixture" with clamp in with a 60W bulb and it works. It's going to look like I have a squatter in my attic. I used the Togglelincs because when I built the house I chose toggles instead of Decora. I'd rather not have a combination of different switch styles especially since I'm now up to 12 Insteon toggle style switches

I'm going to add a plug in "nightlight" to the circuit in the attic. Will report back on performance.

Ok, I just temporarily added an incandescent to the circuit and the lights dimmed beautifully. Other than actually adding an incandescent, do you know of a way to mimic an incandescent load on the switch?
