BTFU

Yes - i confirmed that previously, and it was still the case during the recent test. I never really got a good answer on why a wider gap reed would fix the issue, since the ISY activity log showed activity from the open/close sensor when the bell rang, and the LED lit up as well. Overall, the setup didn't seem very reliable so hopefully the Doorbell kit is a better long term solution.

I had a chance today to remove the Ring Video Doorbell Pro from the equation. No matter how long I left the switch engaged, i wasn't able to get the ISY to pick up the ring. I still have no idea why its not working...but I've had enough messing with this configuration. I'll probably take stusviews advice and get one of the doorbell ring kits.

I will have to test that tomorrow afternoon...my 1 year old is in bed and my wife wouldn't be too pleased with me waking her up w/ the doorbell right now I have a Ring Video Doorbell Pro as my doorbell, so there is actually no way for me to "hold it down longer". The signal from the doorbell goes to a small device thats mounted inside the doorbell ringer, and that controls sending the voltage to initiate the doorbell ring. I think my next step will be removing the Ring Doorbell and trying manually to remove that from the equation. The thing that still doesn't make sense to me is why I see activity from the open/close sensor on the insteon network when the LED flashes, but the program doesn't run.

Because the sensor shows "on" when its open and "off" when its closed. Closed would be when the bell rings.

Yes. Here is the program. Doorbell Ring If Control 'Doorbell-Opened' is switched Off Then Send Notification to '6' content [Entry 6] Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

1. Pressing the button on the TriggerLinc resulted in an email notification, as expected. 2. Touching the wires together that are connected to the external connectors resulted in an email notification, as expected. 3. Passing magnet over reed switch resulted in an email notification, as expected. I also confirmed that the switch was near the "Front" door solenoid and was positioned as close as possible. 4. When i press the doorbell, it rings and the LED flashes on the TriggerLinc. However, there is no email notification. I've noticed that, even when using the standalone magnet, if i very quickly move the magnet across the reed switch, I'll get a green LED flash, but it doesnt trigger the program. Additionally, as i mentioned before, when I look at the logs in the ISY event viewer, it does show activity from that device when the LED flashes...for some reason, it just doesn't trigger the program.

Thanks, stusviews. I think the Doorbell Kit would work for me. I may give that a shot if this doesn't work out. I already had a TriggerLinc laying around, so I was trying to make that work before spending any more money.

Thanks for the reply, Teken. I was using these reed switches I picked up from Amazon, wired up to the external connectors. I wasn't able to find a gap distance spec for this particular switch, but i had it pretty close (~1 cm). The fact that the light on the TriggerLinc flashed lead me to believe it was close enough. I may try picking up a different N/O switch from Amazon...something like this. However, i still am not sure why the current setup isn't working, considering the light is flashing on the sensor and i see traffic in the ISY debug output.

Good Afternoon, I have a Insteon Open/Close Sensor (TriggerLinc 2843-222). I'm trying to configure this sensor to monitor my Doorbell for rings, so that I can kick off other actions through programs running on my ISY-994i. I essentially followed this tutorial posted on Youtube to set this up. Setup is: TriggerLinc 2843-222 w/ Reed Switch connected to external terminals. Reed Switch placed inside doorbell next to coils. ISY Program currently is: IF Status 'Doorbell-Opened' is Off THEN Send Notification to '***' content '***' This works as expected when i use the included magnet w/ the TriggerLinc (Green LED flashes, and notification is sent). When I have the TriggerLinc connected via external terminals to the Reed Switch in the doorbell, the Green LED also flashes, but no notification is seen. I tried ringing the Doorbell while monitoring the ISY Event Viewer, and when the Doorbell is triggered, i see events related to my TriggerLinc sensor. The only thing that I can think of is that the duration in which the switch is closed is too short for the ISY to pick it up as a change? Any thoughts/suggestions?
