To follow up @xlurkr 's caution... Almost everything is triggered, like a garage door that might be on an io-linc, sprinklers, etc The Almost part: In a test I did a couple of years ago, iox ALL ON / ALL OFF buttons did not turn off i3 devices as Insteon removed the ALL ON/OFF response based on the dreaded random occurrences. If you have any of those, they won't respond. I have to assume what you're asking for would call that feature on the buttons of java iox. Depending how much link count is a premium in your PLM, creating a scene with specific participants would be the way to go.

Even with new i3 paddles there can be flicker. Using on/off where dimming is not needed makes the problem go away. We have a master bath where I simplified multiple on off switches with multiple Insteon switches. Dimming is never used, so when they flickered, on/off fixed it. If you have the eisy you could use the new i3 paddles. The advantage of i3 paddle is that you can configure it on-the-fly to dimmer or on/off... it does both.

That's an oldy, single band. I had several them at my last house, one at the far reaches of my electrical system. They get flaky after time or power events like brown/black outs Try a restore device If that doesn't work, factory reset and and restore device

I have 2 of these, used this time of year for Christmas lights which they do fine. They are single band so their location closer to our electrical panel is helpful. If you're using them with a remote, the signal trip is from the closest dualband device and then powerline from there to the old lamplinc. they can be used like my example where you can be sure of how signals will reach it, unlike dual band devices that can go almost anywhere. Also note that Insteon things that old can use a factory reset and restore device every so oftern

Not 100% sure of the question. They can be added on the linking menu of iox. They are single band, power line only devices so may have signal flakiness problems of their own. You can search google for the device name + "manual pdf" and see what the specs are. I believe all low voltage.

There's 2 starting diagnostic paths, I'd start with the easiest Factory rest and restore each individually. Test again. This is relatively easy to try. The writeup makes it sound like they've been in there a while, and I can't imagine how wiring would cause that.. I suppose it's possible.... But- if it didn't do it before and started now, a wiring problem seems unlikely. I've had Insteon switches installed for years and sometimes they "lose it" and need to be reprogrammed. Little is lost if this path is wrong If that didn't do it, turn on the event viewer level 3, and do recreates to an ordered script (what you wrote above) so it can be compared to the event viewer results. Post it back here If both of those yield nothing, then its time to dig them out of the wall

Sounds to me like the PLM signals are strong enough to make it out. The X10 device's signal is not strong enough to make it back to the PLM. The keypad is x10 rf, correct? If so, it has a plug in receiver. Plug that in to an outlet closer to the PLM and retest

There's the TimeData plugin that does just that and more. I use it for a number of related functions

The program will run as long as the variable is 1. If you set it to 1 when you leave town for a period longer than one day, then you'll eventually get a battery notice which will be incorrect info. That program logic is designed for Insteon wireless sensors that have a 24 hour heartbeat node. Another way to do it (pseudo code), which also depends on how you use the backdoor: If triggerlinc is switches on or Triggerlinc is switched of Then Wait 24 hours Send notification This way looks for the triggerlinc to activate at all and not dependent on variable logic. If there is some activity it has battery. Same problem though, that if you close the door and leave (or don't use the door for 24 hours) it will send the notifcation

Assumes the door gets unarmed once a day... I'm thinking trips, vacations

Check this in iox: Tools/Diagnostics/PLM Info If it does not not say Connected, pull the plug in the eisy and plug it back in. I had this happend when I first set up my eisy and also after one upgrade. Both times that fixed it

It's designed to support a conference room like wall switch support for something like a retractable projection screen where manually throwing the switch runs the screen/shade all the way in either direction. The single iox node is treated the same. There's a calibration procedure in the manual where you to teach the micro-module how long to engage for up and down. After that "On" operates the contacts long enough for up, and "Off" does the some for down. There are other modes defined as well

Can you shoot a picture of the Insteon address on the sticker on the device? A number of us have run into this digit confusion before and maybe can help translate by seeing it

Hoping that means i3 capable.

At a Insteon call early in the year or late last year, it was announced that the upgraded PLM was coming out "in summer of this year" 25. Summer came and went. One of our members, I think Brian H, asked them recently if it was coming and told no.
