Seems the ISY is not quite ready for the Hidden Door Sensor (HDS) yet. Here's a simple workaround:

 

Link the HDS (as a controller) to an unused button on a KPL (as a responder).

Then use that button as a controller to whatever you want to do with the ISY!

 

And I've written a few other hopefully helpful routines;

I have not had any problem linking or using this sensor. Please elaborate on the issue that are you addressing.

Thanks, tandar

My first problem is that I had the device address wrong. The labels are so darn small, that even with light I got a B and 8 confused. I verified with a magnifier...

 

So I tried again to add as either automatic or TriggerLinc [10.02] (2421) TriggerLinc

I get the error: Unsupported Device:16.17

 

How are you able to add the device?

 

Thanks.

Beta 4.2.1 lists the 2845-222 cat 10, sub cat 11, in its drop down list.

Are you seeing it still being reported as a TriggerLinc?

Just in case the idea is lost, the cat 16, subcat 17 are decimal numbers. When looking at the New INSTEON Device list that is the same as [10.11] which are hex numbers; 0x10=16 decimal 0x11=17 decimal

Good idea, Brian H. I'm kinda slow to check beta versions - especially right before a critical need - but I did and installed v4.2.1.

 

So Click Link Management, Link the sensor, and there it is!

 

Note: Once it's connected, [Options] allows for the LED to be turned off. I don't know how much battery power it will save, but certainly something.

 

Thanks!
