iostream212 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I was just wondering if anyone else was having any trouble adding the v2.0 of the Insteon motion sensor. I already have 2 installed with my ISY setup (v1.0). My 3rd came in the mail the other day and I can not get the device added for the life of me. I am running 2.7.15 on the ISY. ISY shows the following during setup Removing Links Failed Getting Engine Version. Reverting to i1. Failed Writing the Highwater Mark Node not Added - Failed removing links I did see that jumper 5 on v2.0 enables 3rd party interface. FYI I tried to add the device with this jumper both enabled and disabled. Any and all ideas are welcomed! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeG Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Running 2.7.15, using New Insteon Device, specified Insteon address and selected Device Type - Motion Sensor (next to last item in device type pull down). A popup prompted for putting the motion sensor into linking mode. Put the motion sensor into linking mode and successfully added a V2 Motion Sensor. Jumper 5 controls whether a program can set things like the timeout value. It is not necessary to have Jumper 5 set to add the device to ISY or use it in a Program. I do not have Jumper 5 active.

iostream212 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 You know I never got a pop-up to put the thing in linking mode while trying to add it (using Firefox). I will have to double check that. Just FYI I have tried adding the device by both putting the motion sensor in linking mode and not in linking mode. I also linked the motion sensor to another Insteon device manually, and the sensor did control the other device, so its not defective. Thanks!

LeeG Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 When I clicked Ok on the New INSTEON Device popup, because I had selected [10.01] (2420M) INSTEON Motion Sensor, the next popup was one that serves as a reminder to put the device into linking mode. Same popup reminder that is displayed for TriggerLincs as well. I am running IE 8 on a Windows XP PC. The Motion Sensor cannot be added to ISY without it being in linking mode (referring to the test without being in linking mode). There are three link records written into the Motion Sensor for Motion, Dusk/Dawn and Low Battery message. With the Motion Sensor being a battery device the RF circuitry is asleep so it cannot receive the commands to write the link records if not explicitly put into linking mode to keep it awake for approx 4 minutes.

Brian H Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Well LeeG, I just tried adding a motion sensor. A V1.0B. Chose the [10.01] (2420M) from the list. Hit OK No pop up warning message ever showed. The program just merrily tried to add the sensor even if I didn't put it into linking mode. I also have IE8 and XP SP3. Latest Java Console. ISY firmware 2.7.15 A10/X10 Module. So my drop down list has 71.01 to 71.2D below the [10.02] Triggerlinc entry. Network Module Weather Module I also don't get the pop up when I try a TriggerLinc choice. Like the Motion Sensor it just tried to add it with out the Put In Linking Mode pop up message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeG Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Brian, Thanks for that information. That is one for Michel to weigh in on as it seems we are all running 2.7.15. I have NO modules installed. I would think it more Java than browser question as the Admin Console is a Java application. My Java is V6 Update 20 (build 1.6.0_20-b02). If you put the V1 Motion Sensor into linking mode before hitting Ok on the New INSTEON Device popup does it add successfully? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian H Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I have the same Java version as reported by its about tab. Tell you the truth. I put a battery in the motion sensor and then tried adding it with out going into linking mode. Must not have settled down and gone into standby. It added fine. I don't have a ToggleLinc but tried a bogus ID and again no pop up for start linking mode. A Thermostat adapter same thing no pop up. All with drop down choice.

iostream212 Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Well my issue is resolved. I went home and tried again like I have been doing all along. Still no pop-up when I picked the motion sensor from the drop down list. Put the sensor in linking mode, typed in the address, and bam! Device added. A festivus miracle! Interestingly enough when I went to set the newly added sensor's options I DID get a pop-up telling me to put it into linking mode before continuing. Thanks again all for the info!

Michel Kohanim Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Hello iostream212, I am so glad everything is working! All, I am not sure why you are not getting the popup. May I humbly suggest trying the following URL: http://www.universal-devices.com/99i/admin.jnlp I did try this URL and it worked fine every time. You might want to clear your Java cache as well. With kind regards, Michel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian H Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 OK as a test. Cleared the Java Cache again. Directly used the link in your reply. Though I was using the applet added last time I use that same link. Same thing no pop up just blindly started the process without an OK that I had turned on the linking mode in the Motion Sensor. One observation on the no pop up. There was a very brief flash on the screen it may have been the pop up for a brief second. Added tests from what I did yesterday: Using a early V1.0b Motion Sensor. This time waited >5 minutes to allow it to stabilize. Tried the manual choice 10.01 Hit OK. No pop up. Didn't find sensor. Put sensor in linking mode. Try manual choice again. Hit OK. No pop up. Found and added sensor with three additions in My Lighting. Reported firmware by ISY as V.00. I did get a confirmation box if I tried the set options for the motion sensor.

iostream212 Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 Ditto here too with the popup situation. Cleared cache and tried the link posted above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Kohanim Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Hi Guys, Thanks so very much. This seems to be a bug ... I just tried it again and it worked fine. I am using Java JRE 1.6.20 .. would you be kind enough to let me know what operating system and version of Java you are using?

Michel Kohanim Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Hi Brian, Thanks so very much! Everything seems to be OK. You are using the applet (from /99i) correct? Not the .jnlp? With kind regards, Michel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian H Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I am using the Java Application Applet created when I ran the on line link ending in .jnlp It is on the Desktop Called 99i Administrative Console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceaton Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Just to add my $.02 ... I had this exact problem and it drove me NUTS. I factory reset the motion sensor, removed from ISY and tried to re-add, but would consistently get those errors. The solution? Just like iostream said, let the motion sensor rest. Seriously! Come back the next morning, put it in linking mode, link with ISY as you've done and it will link the first time without problems. I don't know exactly how much sleep the motion sensor requires, but overnight worked for me. I also never get the "put in linking mode" warning dialogue.
