jpwolfe Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Greetings, I have a number of 2420M's (v2.0) that I'm trying to use on my ISY99IR-Pro version 2.8.10. I can use the sensor status to link in scenes but when writing programs, the IF lines do not recognize the status change. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oberkc Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I am not a user of the motion sensor, but I understand that there are settings to allow or disable sending an "off" command. Is it possible that your sensor is set to transmit only "on" signals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpwolfe Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Well if I link them to a device as a "scene" they send both on and off. However if I try to signal a program the ISY doesn't see any status change. It doesn't appear that the MS needs to be in linking in mode when saving a program. I've also tried saving the sensor on/off as a scene, but it doesn't appear that a scene can be used as a condition in a program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeG Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 jpwolfe Using the Admin Console, does the Sensor node show On/Off status as the Motion Sensor detects motion and then times out after the delay. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpwolfe Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Lee, There is no status displayed for sensor or night. It does show off for battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeG Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 jpwolfe If the Admin Console is not reflecting the motion sensor activity, Programs will not work either as both are dependent on the ISY PLM being notified of motion detection. Sounds like the Motion Sensor did not get installed completely for some reason. The motion sensor must be added using New INSTEON Device, specify the device Insteon Address and select Motion Sensor in the Device Type in the pulldown list. Of course the Motion Sensor must be in linking mode during this process. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpwolfe Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Thanks Lee, I have 6 Motion Sensors linked. I went through the manual process for adding them all (link management/add insteon device/2420 from the drop down). I cleared all links and they were recognized without any errors. They all show on the main devices page and I can link them as "scenes" with any other device, switchlink, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeG Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 jpwolfe You can verify that Insteon messages are not being received by the PLM by bring up the Event Viewer with Device Communication Events selected and watch for messages when the MS signals motion. Since the Admin Console is not reflecting status changes I assume you will not see Insteon messages from the MS in the Event Viewer. Since the MS is controlling other linked devices, one of the following is wrong 1 - the MS link database does not have the controller link record pointing to the ISY PLM 2 - the ISY PLM link database does not have the responder link record for the MS 3 - if both link records exist the MS Insteon message is not reaching the ISY PLM. Once the Event Viewer is showing Insteon messages from the MS both the Admin Console will show motion state changes and the Program will be triggered. Are all the motion sensors failing to show state changes in the Admin Console or only the one the Program should respond to. If they are all failing there is some significant issue getting RF based messages to the ISY PLM. EDIT: I am assuming that other device state changes are being reflected in the Admin Console.

jpwolfe Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Lee, I think I have bigger issues with this unit. Now, when pulling up the admin console, I get the following error messages: Error socket open failed java.net.socket timeout exception Error xml parse error http://192.168.1.14/desc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub-Routine Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hi jpwolfe, What Virus Checker/Firewall are you using? Do you have another computer you can try to access the ISY from? Rand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpwolfe Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Rand, Im using Norton360 with the firewall disabled. If I log into the ISY from a different computer I'm not receiving the error messages. However, on the main devices page there is no status shown for any device. I've selected 'restore devices' from the file menu and nothing happens. Also, I've tried removing a device and adding a device. After hitting Submit the ISY just doesn't respond.

Michel Kohanim Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hello jpwolfe, Please do ensure that ISY is in Norton's white/trusted list of devices. This is for sure firewall issue and, therefore, please do not take such drastic measures as factory reset, etc. With kind regards, Michel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
