ulrick65 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I have a 2476D controlling an outside flood light has a built in motion sensor (if Smarthome will ship me the new motion sensors I have on backorder I wouldn't need it anymore!) but I am having an issue with it. Before installing the switchlinc, the old toggle switch would power the light...but it would not come on unless it sensed motion (then off in 4 minutes). If you turned it off, then on again right away it would come on permanently (regardless of motion and never shut off). If you turned it off for a minute, then on again...it reset to motion mode. Now, it comes on whenever the switchlinc is turned on and ignore motion all the time (stays on). I figured it was the ramp rate, but I have tried fast on and setting the ramp rate as fast it will go to no avail. Anyone know how to fix this? Seems to me I read a post here about this...but I can't remember where. Thanks Link to comment
brobin Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I would suggest replacing the 2476D with a 2476S. The S version is a relay switch and acts like the basic switch you replaced. It should allow you to regain the control you've lost by using a dimmer which is not appropriate for controlling the motion detector. Link to comment
ulrick65 Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 Thanks. Sorry for the late response, out of town. I was hoping that wasn't the case. I am waiting patiently (like everyone I guess) for the Insteaon Motion sensors, so I can get rid of the local motion sensor on the flood. I don't have a spare 2476S to use...and once I want to be able to dim the floods (end state). So I guess I just have to live it for now... Thanks. Link to comment
brobin Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Well at least you won't have too long to wait. They are accepting pre-orders now and expect to be shipping in 2 more weeks. http://www.smarthome.com/2420M/INSTEON- ... 20M/p.aspx Link to comment
ulrick65 Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 I'll believe when they ship... Link to comment
ulrick65 Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 As I said...I will believe it when they ship. I got an email yesterday that says the ship date is now 10/31/08. Maybe by Christmas...if were lucky. Of course some people were lucky enough to get betas (not mentioning names...but the initials are MB with an IKE in the middle). Link to comment
