Insteon Plug In Timer Module

[Brian H]

Looks like another new module is being reordered.

A plug in Timer Module.

Kind of looks like a cross between a ApplianceLinc and a LCD Timer you can set to control Insteon Devices.

Having not learning from past experiences. I have one of these also on order.

What possible benefit could this item bring to an ISY user?

Paperweight???? Just kidding.

 

Its a neat device for non ISY users. Its the same price as an appliancelinc (for now at least). Probaly will double in price in 6 months so if anyone needs one get em while the are hot.....

Not too much; but since it can be linked as a responder and is an Appliancelinc. Someone is bound to want to use it with a ISY99.

I received one today for experimenting.

I was pleasantly surprised that my ISY-99i could add it to My Lighting as a responder and I did a quick test of a scene and it worked.

I did not expect the program to recognize it was also a controller if other devices are linked to it.

On thing I did find. All linked devices are controlled by the timers. No picking and choosing which timer did what device in the link table.

Brian -

 

Force-add it as a SwitchLinc Relay.

[Brian H]

Thanks Mike B. I will give it a try.

Thanks again for the tip MikeB.

Forcing it as a SwitchLinc Relay worked just fine.
