Status of Insteon Switchlink Dimmers is not updating

Featured Replies

Background: I had to replace a PLM recently, and I've had to rebuild several scenes, and 'scnCooking was one of them. The two switchlink dimmers in the "If" stanza of this program are also in a scene that creates a three way for the track lights. I've restored these devices, factory reset them, updated the scenes several times and updated this program several times.

For reasons I'm not understanding, this program will not work, as the "Fast Off" for either of these switchlink devices is not captured by the ISY software. I can run the "Then" stanza from the AC and the "scnCooking" is turned off correctly. A fast off does indeed turn off the track lights appropriately, but the program doesn't run.

The status of the switchlinks will not update in the AC unless a query is run, then the status is updates.

I'm a bit baffled by this. I'd appreciate any insights here.

Thanks!

If

'Devices / dirKitchen / sldTrackLightNorth' is switched Fast Off

Or 'Devices / dirKitchen / sldTrackLightSouth' is switched Fast Off

Then

Set 'Scenes / scnCooking' Off

Else

What controller and its firmware are you using

Try removing power from your plm and your controller, then power up the PLM, wait 15 seconds, then power up your controller

Let me know if that resolved your issue

Was the controller powered off when you replaced the PLM. It's important that you do that. If you didn't, then reboot it, and then do a restore device on those two switches.

eISY running ISY software 6.0.5_10. I did power cycle the eISY a couple of times, but not the PLM as well. I'll give it a try a little later today.

I initially did power cycle both the eISY and the PLM. The device restore doesn't resolve the problem. I'll give both devices another power cycle. My old PLM was actually over 10 years old before it failed completely. The system has been stable for years, but the new PLM has way fewer links than I expected, so I'm thinking that the old PLM has been somehow dropping links for some time before it failed (I don't know if that's even possible).
