I have searched the forum and wiki, cannot seem to add a 2334-235 KPL to my ISY994izw. The KPL is about a year old and controls my under cabinet LEDs. All had been working fine, until I discovered my ISY wasn't connecting to my network. Unfortunately, I had set the ISY up with a manual IP address and had a reasonably good back-up, I hard reset my ISY. Later, determined that my ethernet cable had become loose - smack the head, check to see if the car has gas in it! Anyway, restored my ISYfrom back up, version was pre-kpl circuit, so I figured I would just reprogram the KPL. Air gapped it, factory reset the KPL several times. Updated my software to 4.9.... Can't seem to determine the engine. Moved my PLM to a different position in the house, cannot determine engine. Placed the PLM in the receptacle that feeds the power to the switch (the KPL and receptacle are in the same dual gang box), cannot determine engine. I don't have a big installation, just a couple of micro switches, 3 2477's dual band all within 20 feet of the KPL, 4 lamplincs , 1 iolinc and a phase coupler. By the way, the load on the KPL is a LED dimmable driver ( I have been informed that it is the wrong type - magnetic but it has been working). I've read the posts that say most issues are noise related, but before I go and unplug everything in my house given what I have done so far is it fairly reasonable to assume that I have a dead KPL?

Lilyoyo1 Thanks for your reply. I'm going to clarify by cutting down the variables based on your feedback. 1) I want to be able to dim the strip lights but I don't want any color control. 2) I will need a dimmable driver as alluded to above 40W/Magnitude 3) My wife is going to insist on counter top control from a "switch" 4) Can I use a KPL by itself to act as a switch or do I need a KPL coupled with a dimmable ballast? 5) Alternatively, I have a dimming Toggle Link on that circuit and have no problems now (it controls an LED spot and does well). In fact I am likely going to add 2 more toggle links to other non-led switches on that circuit to control incandescents above the island and breakfast table - does that change your equation about "interference" any? Scene control is less important than local control and abilty to dim the lights.

Am planning my kitchen remodel and would like to install some LED strip lights below my cabinets. I have approximately 9 feet of under cabinet space that I need to light. I would like them to be dimmable and controlled by my ISY994iz. I've looked at the various posts and documentation and have managed to confuse myself. So here are my questions: 1) Do I need to buy a 12v dimmable driver or non-dimmable driver? Such as the Magnitude E40L12DC-KO? 2) Do I need the 0-10v Dimmable Ballast to control the dimming of the driver? 3) Assuming I need both 1 and 2, which side is the Dimmable Ballast wired to: a) between the switch and the driver, (b) between the driver and the led fixture ... or ? 4) Switch - Can the Dimmable ToggleLink switch handle the dimming? 5) Could a KPL replace the Toggle Links' function to switch the Leds on/off, and dim? Would it be a better solution than using the ToggleLink? The paddle switches aren't allowed according to the "better taste" committee. I might be able to get away with the KPL by adding scenes and/or controlling the driveway gate opener..... As always, I appreciate the forum's help. If you have any product recommendations would surely appreciate those too.
