Newfiestang50 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Is the appliance linc physically look the same as the smoke bridge? Ideals are peaceful - History is violent Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teken Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Temporarily move to another outlet until it displays a green LED. If successful then open / close one of the battery operated devices close to the newly located appliance linc.

Ideals are peaceful - History is violent Ok....but I am losing your reasoning here since I already have a dual band switch linc 2 feet from one of the non working hidden door sensors that are responding from the tap test.

By open/close do you mean function the sensor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfiestang50 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 OK....done. By open/close do you mean function the sensor? Also, wont it display a green led no matter where it is located if it is set to ON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teken Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 You're redoing the beacon test until you find a outlet that blinks green. Then operate one of the battery operated devices and report back. Ideals are peaceful - History is violent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfiestang50 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Another question. How come the appliance linc's are not responding to the tap test but they are on the same circuit as the PLM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teken Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Another question. How come the appliance linc's are not responding to the tap test but they are on the same circuit as the PLM?If it's on the same circuit it will be red. If you have successfully bridged the two sides of your electrical panel it will be green. Find a outlet that shows a green than report back. Again unplug those noise makers and report back.

Xathros Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Another question. How come the appliance linc's are not responding to the tap test but they are on the same circuit as the PLM?devices only respond to the beacon test if they can hear the RF transmission from the test initiator. Does not matter if its on the same circuit if its out of RF range. Receiving devices blink red if on same phase and receiving and green if on opposite phase and receiving. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stusviews Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Auto DR is normally a darker blue than any scenes you create. If you create a folder, then the folder will be the same dark blue as the Auto DR scene. I noticed that you have outlets with lack of communication (!). Are they all on the same circuit? Can you communicate with them if you plug them in indoors on another circuit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teken Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 If you have a long extension and long CAT5e cable move the PLM and the appliance link until it does. You have to get this part done. Ideals are peaceful - History is violent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, found the issue with the outside switch lincs.....the GFI was tripped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oberkc Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Well I can assure you that the one remaining appliance linc is on the same circuit as the PLM but it is not blinking any color At risk of repeating teken's advice, it does not matter if the one remaining applicancelinc is on the same circuit. Devices only respond if within RF range (or if not dual-band). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devices only respond if within RF range (or if not dual-band). Ok just to clarify. I now have the blinking green/red led on the one remaining applian module left in my office. It only seemed to start responding once I reset the GFI mentioned earlier that was tripped on the outside of my house but it may have been just coincidence. Another thing....I'm not sure the moving module test is working since when I take it back to my office and plug it back in on a known outlet that is on the same circuit it still does not blink, just steady green. So to recap, that is one applian module blinking red/green and the one test module that i have been moving all over the house back plugged in on the same circuit as the PLM and the other applian module but no blinking, just steady green.

Newfiestang50 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Activate any battery device and report back. Ideals are peaceful - History is violent Well I can see the applian module LED responding when i function the door sensor however I cannot see any status change at the console nor is my door logic working that turns on/off my porch light via a program and this sensor and swich linc. As mentioned earlier in this thread it dont seem as if my programs are working either. So I guess no change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
