Paul, thanks for the reply. I solved this issue ---after spending considerable time looking for a solution. Turns out my daughter got up for a drink late at night and noticed the Keypadlinc button lit she was not accustom to seeing that lit and pressed it...thanks again for your reply!

Hello, hoping someone can explain or help me out with a keypadlinc problem. The keypadlinc is a 2486D 8 button v.40 There are 8 buttons A-H ---I'm using button F to initiate a 24 hour watering delay for my sprinklers, basically I have the watering program check to see if button F is active and if it is then the watering program will not start. Then I have another program that turns off button F after 24 hours so that watering resumes at the next scheduled cycle, this program will also stop the watering if the sprinklers are currently running. This is the first year using EZRain/EzFlora v.28 to control my sprinklers and it has been pretty wet here in Colorado so I have been needing to delay watering a lot --giving me some good experience with this issue. When the button F is "active" or "on" it is lit, a lit button indicates that watering will be skipped. I notices a few days ago that the button was not lit but the prescribed 24 hours had not passed yet... I blamed my wife for pressing the button and turning it off, although she denied pressing the button. I just assumed it was probably a mistake and dismissed it. But to capture future similar mistakes I wrote a program to send an email if the button is "on" and pressed to turn it "off" here it is: "Sprinkler Rain Cancel notification" If Status 'Family Room Keypad.F' is Off Then Send Notification to 'Me' content 'Sprinkler Set to ON' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Last night I received this email at midnight (and read it when I awoke) I know the wife was not near the button at midnight-- the sprinkler program calls to water on Sunday unless Button F is on, so when I arose this morning they were running. I looked in the log and see several events around midnight---including "Button F" IRLinc Button A Status 0% Sun 2015/05/03 12:00:36 AM System Log AV Closet Fan Status 0% Sun 2015/05/03 12:00:36 AM System Log Family Room Subwoofer Status 0% Sun 2015/05/03 12:00:36 AM System Log Family Room Keypad.F Status 0% Sun 2015/05/03 12:00:58 AM System Log Family Room Sconces Status 0% Sun 2015/05/03 12:00:59 AM System Log Fam Floor Light Status 0% Sun 2015/05/03 12:00:59 AM System Log Family Room Keypad.B Status 0% Sun 2015/05/03 12:00:59 AM System Log Here is the program to run sprinklers "Sprinkler Program" If On Sun, Tue, Fri Time is 5:00:00AM And Status 'Family Room Keypad.F' is Off Then Set 'Sprinkler Zone.01' On Wait 30 minutes Set 'Sprinkler Zone.02' On Wait 30 minutes Set 'Sprinkler Zone.03' On Wait 30 minutes Set 'Sprinkler Zone.04' On Wait 30 minutes Set 'Sprinkler Zone.05' On Wait 30 minutes Set 'Sprinkler Zone.06' On Wait 30 minutes Set 'Sprinkler Zone.07' On Wait 30 minutes Set 'Sprinkler Zone.07' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') And here is the program to delay the sprinklers for 24 hours "Sprinkler Rain Delay" If Control 'Family Room Keypad.F' is switched On Then Stop program 'Sprinkler Program' Set 'Sprinkler Zone.01' Off Set 'Sprinkler Zone.02' Off Set 'Sprinkler Zone.03' Off Set 'Sprinkler Zone.04' Off Set 'Sprinkler Zone.05' Off Set 'Sprinkler Zone.06' Off Set 'Sprinkler Zone.07' Off Send Notification to 'Me' content 'Sprinkler Set to Off' Wait 24 hours Set Scene 'Sprinkler Rain Delay' Off Send Notification to 'Me' content 'Sprinkler Set to ON' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Any assistance to help me understand why Button F on the keypadlinc turned itself off at 12 midnight would be helpful. By the way query all is running at 3:00 am Many thanks

Michel, Steve has resolved my problem with the keypad, it was in fact my error in a program causing the problem. Steve, much thanks to you and your keen insight to figure out my error.

Hey folks, I'm still having problems with this keypad . This arrangement used to work several months ago so I assumed it was a bad Keypad, but the new keypad has the same behavior. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

Insteon_UD994 v.4.1.2 (23014-01-13-23:20:00)

I did play with trying to manually set the backlight level, involves tapping the C and F buttons and holing the A (or on button). I can set them locally but have the same issue. Wondering if the scene assigned to be toggled by button B has anything to do with this issue? the Button assigned to Scene B turns on two room lights at 24%. I'm stuck, any help appreciated.

LeeG, thanks for your quick response. I did set the KPL to 7/15 using the admin console and in the OFF state all the buttons were lit. I pressed the "Movie Scene" which is on button B a couple of times and all the KPL buttons turned off and stayed off. Returning to the Admin Console I found that the LED Brightness was back to 0/0. I then reset it to 7/15 using the admin console and again found all buttons lit. I repeatedly pressed the "A" button (100% floor light on) and all the buttons stayed lit. I then pressed the "B" button and all the buttons went dark, returning to the admin console I found the LED Brightness in the Admin Console to be reset to 0/0. I don't understand what is resetting the LED brightness and why the brightness will not hold in the KPL, any ideas?

I recently replaced a 8 button Inseton keypad 2486 with the new Insteon 8 button keypad 2334-222 because the LED's would not illuminate despite setting the LED brightness level to 15 in the ISY admin console. I have since spent some time searching the forum and investigating the symptoms of this problem. The interesting part is that button A is assigned as a controller for a floor light which is set at a "on level" of 98% (to reduce voltage to light and save the bulb a bit). When I set the LED brightness for the keypad in the admin console to 15 and operate button A the LED comes on when pressed and goes off when pressed again, just as is should. I operated it multiple times and the LED comes on and off just as it should. Now Button B is assigned as a controller for a scene called "Movie Scene" the "Movie Scene" turns on two lights, both at 24% when I FIRST press button B after changing the brightness level in the admin console the LED backlight and the "Movie Scene" is activated, a second press turns off the "Movie Scene", the two lights and the LED backlight...now pressing it a third time activates the "Movie Scene" and the two lights but the LED backlight for Button B does NOT illuminate. Furthermore, when I return to the Admin Console to check the LED brightness it has reset to 0 for all buttons. I have done this several times (reset in Admin Console, press B button three times, LED Brightness resets to 0). I'm stuck, this functionality used to work with my old 8 button 2486 but when the 2486 quit working I replaced it with the new 2334-222 and the problem persists. What has changed? anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help!

I recently purchased a new Venstar thermostat with the internal insteon module. I cannot seem to keep the ISY-99i updated with the current temperture. I have this in the ISY as a 2441V Insteon Thermostat Adapter v.00 since there is no option for a 2491 in the drop down list in the ISY (running v2.8.16 on the ISY). Also notice that the Fan State always shows "ON" even when the fan is off and thermostat is in "FAN Auto" if I toggle the Fan to auto then back to "ON" the fan comes on but when I log back into the ISY console later in the day I find the fan shown in the "on" state in the console again even though the fan is still off. Also, I get a Humidty reading that varies from time to time even though there is no humidty module (don't think the 2491 can take that option since the internal insteon takes up space where it would plug into the board). If I query the t-stat in the console it updates to the current tempature value but the fan state does not change unless it is manually toggled in the console. I thought the Thermostat would always report to the ISY the current temp without having to query from the console. The T-Stat is only a few feet from an access point. Did I do something wrong when I linked it? or does the t-stat not report temp changes? Thanks in Advance for any help with this one.

Lee G, thank you very much, performing a "Restore Device" that corrected the problem, working free from flaws once again! Happy New Year!

does not seem to matter if I use "control" or "status" the ISY sees neither and thus never starts the timer and the fan continues to run until I manually turn it off. I also note that other device status are wrong in the ISY until I do a query. I find in unlikely that it is communication related as all else works flawlessly. Is it possible to have flawless communicaiton FROM the ISY to responders and the ISY not see status changes intiated from the responders? Is there a way to have the ISY be a responder for a wall switch? This continues to be perplexing... thanks for any ideas / help!

I will try control again, I tried control a few weeks ago with the same result. I will report back once I have had some time to test control (as opposed to Status). Thanks!

Yep I have a 2412S now, just what I need another power supply to suck the signal! Dang that puppy is expensive $80 plus the cost of a power supply. Why did they eliminate the power option via the serial connection? Did they offer an upgrade option when the 2413 was released?

they make a dual band PLM? I will investigate that option. What is really madding is that everything else works with no issues. The issue seems to be the status in the ISY, I recently noticed that when I log in there are several devices which I turned on with a remotelinc that were showing the wrong state but all commands that orginate from the ISY are being received (have several programs to turn on lights at dusk etc.) Thanks for the help... I will look into a dual band PLM.

No, the PLM is on a circuit that has a router and switch but no computer or surge suppressor. What is strange is that everything else works flawless except status of some of the devices in the ISY. Perhaps the issue is the ISY receiving status for the devices, controls actions from the ISY are flawless. I will move my access points around and see if that helps. Any other ideas would be appreciated. thanks
