edgar Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) I have a scene (Movie Done) in which one of the plug-in dimmers (Insteon) is not responding to the scene. Instead of ramping up to 98%, it changes to 6%. Most of the time I use voice commands to control the scene. The program log shows the lamp @ 98%, then immediately two commands (program?) & the light level changes to 6%. Don’t have any idea where the commands with a value? of 15 are coming from. Any ideas? Movie Mini Remote - [ID 006B][Parent 0001] If Control '.Fam Rm Rem - E (Movie Time)' is switched On And Control '.Fam Rm Rem - E (Movie Time)' is not switched Off Then Wait 4 seconds Set Scene 'Movie Time' On Wait 4 minutes Set 'ZW 003 TV back light' 46% Set 'ZW 005 Kitchen Cabinet Light' 30% Else Wait 3 seconds Set Scene 'Movie Done' On Wait 6 minutes Set 'ZW 003 TV back light' Off Set 'ZW 005 Kitchen Cabinet Light' 100% Set 'China Closet Lamp' Off Wait 1 hour 23 minutes and 36 seconds (Random) Set 'Corner Cabinet Lamp LampLinc' Off Set 'Kitchen Island ToggleLink Dim' Fade Down Log File after running Movie Done scene.

paulbates Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 Sometimes after a lot of time, or brownout/blackouts, Insteon modules lose their settings. I suggest right-click on the device in the admin console and picking "Restore Device". If that doesn't do it, factory reset the device, then Restore Device Paul 1

I believe the problem is related to the two "On" commands received after the module reaches 98%, per the scene settings. Not sure where the On commands are coming from.
paulbates Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 Ok. If I'm reading the log right, the source for the ons is a program or programs.. log column second from the right. Are there other programs associated with that lamp? Paul

Paul Yes, there other programs associated with that lamp, but none that should run every-time that when that scene is "called"; specially sending the 6% level command to that lamp. I will take a break then check the programs again to see if I'm missing something. Thanks for your input.

Its more than coincidental that its happening at exactly the same time Paul Edited August 16, 2019 by paulbates

Right click on any program and select it from the dropdown menu.

edgar Posted August 18, 2019 Author Posted August 18, 2019 Thanks to Paul & larryllix for your input. The problem was the Great Rm.Table Lamp Dim program. I added the Else line last week (6%), believing that line would run only @ 10:31 PM and not anytime a Great Rm.Table Lamp On was issued. Thanks again. Edgar 1
