taterb Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 The problem: I got most all the modules setup and working and programs/scenes working, but I’m trying to setup an open/close sensor to tell the ISY when a door is open or closed. I have tried both modes in the sensor and to use “Start Linking†and to select the device from the list of modules and I can’t get the ISY to see it. I have the Motion Sensor setup a few feet closer to any of the INSTEON modules and the ISY/Modem location. I have even brought it close to the ISY. For this use, what mode should the sensor be in? What is the correct procedure for linking it to the ISY? Background info: My ISY/InsteOn setup ISY 994i/IR PRO (w/OpenADR & A10/X10 for INSTEON modules) PowerLinc Modem, Serial 2413S 1 ea would not power the ISY through the cable, I used the ISY wall wart for power ApplianceLinc v.42 2456S3 1 ea LampLinc BiPhy v.41 B2457D2 4 ea BoosterLinc 4827 1 ea Old from when I only had X10 Motion Sensor v.41 2842-222 1 ea Open/Close Sensor Rev 1.9 2843-222 1 ea Cannot get the ISY to see this unit LED Bulb 2672-222 1 ea Not used yet Leak Sensor 2852-222 1 ea Not used yet X10 wall light sw 3 ea X10 appliance module 1 ea X10 Lamp Modules 3 ea X10 PalmPad 4 ea X10 Many others not setup or used yet (if ever). All INSTEON modules are setup as responders only Other info (if needed): Long story short: My old X10 setup was having problems with the controller and they are gone so I got myself a Christmas present and bought an INSTEON Assurance Kit starter kit. It was good, but couldn't handle my existing X10 setup so I ordered a ISY 994i/Pro IR and Serial Modem (anyone want to buy a INSTEON hub at a discount?). I got the ISY in and I really like it! I’m a little disappointed that there doesn't seem to be an Android phone & tablet remote control that is as easy / cheap as the INSTEON one. I’m still looking at what one to commit to (without paying subscription fees). Thanks for any help
LeeG Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 "What is the correct procedure for linking it to the ISY? " Put the Open/Close Sensor into linking mode by pressing Set button until LED blinks continuously. Use New INSTEON Device, enter Insteon address, Name of choice, Device Type at default Auto Discover. Insure Open/Close Sensor is near a functioning Dual Band device.
