It is powering a heater. I have an automatic 90 minute timeout on the heater for safety, but I don't like it just turning on randomly. If the action is in the ISY log then this is not the ghost random-on syndrome. These do not report status changes. Factory reset the offending unit, then restore, and see if it happens again.

Blackbird Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 Before when the door opened it was the relay that turned on. That was about 2 years ago. Hasn't had a problem until now and that was the sensor this time. Link to comment

I must have cleared the log since the last time it happened, it's not in there now. It doesn't happen very often. Link to comment

I think I have more Filterlincs than control modules LOL. I have one in front of my garage door opener. I gave up on the IO Linc for garage door control. I just use a standard open/close (using the big contact) and an on/off module with a dry contact relay. The IO Linc was very unreliable, the new setup is extremely reliable. Link to comment

I have one for my over-cabinet kitches lighting that has had no problem at all. I've tried 2 in garage for the opener and both were unreliable. I guess it's time to buy another case of FilterLincs.

My answer was to put an old access point in the detarched garage that had line-of-sight to dual band devices in the back of the house. A range extender, lamplinc, etc, will do the same thing. I have 2 iolincs in the garage and they work fine this way. Paul Link to comment

Brian H Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Even the I/OLinc sales page. Indicates it may need a Dual Band Module close to it for reliability. You could even plug a Dual Band module in its pass through outlet on the front. Link to comment

This is very puzzling. Link to comment
Brian H Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 If the Dual Band module. Receives an Insteon RF copy of the command also sent to the I/OLinc on the power line . It will resend the command on to the power line. That the original power line command to the I/OLinc got lost. I expect if there is also no Dual Band module close enough to the Dual Band module you are trying to use with the I/OLinc. It will not improve things at all. Link to comment
Blackbird Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 By dual band module, I assume you guys mean a light switch. I have 2 dual band light switches within 4 inches of the i/o link Link to comment
Brian H Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Are the switches on the same AC branch circuit? You could also plug a Dual Band module like a 2457D2 LampLinc, On/Off module or a Range Extender into the pass through outlet on the front of the I/OLinc. Link to comment
