    Remote thermostat

    I got sick of quirks with all the other thermostat's I tried and as of a month ago have 8 Gen 2 nest's in my home controlling everything from Radiant floor zones, heat pump zones, heat pump with secondary in-floor radiant, and I love them. They have been very reliable to date, and while I don't...

    Elk / Insteon lights turning on......again

    My issues kept comping back. I tried reupdating the M1XSP with insteon addresses.. I tried the S3 jumper in both positions. Tried replacing the 2414S. No matter what I did, the problem eventually reoccurred where I had lights spontaneously turning on. So I just gave up with the serial situation...

    How standalone is the Aprilaire 8870 thermostat?

    As far as I know, it has no standalone scheduling/timers, etc. It works fine as a standalone thermostat, communicates with remote sensors and displays remote temp/humidity, etc, but no scheduling or intelligence, or triggers.

    Gremlins in the system! Elk + Insteon + Mainlobby

    I have also been having similar issues with devices spontaneously turning on with my elk, and had to disconnect the PLC. The most recent upgrade didn't fix the problem, so I just ordered an ISY-26 and am hoping that bypassing the XSP-PLC combo with a networked ISY-PLM gets rid of the problem.

    Insteon / Elk

    None of mine are Togglelink Relays. It happens with Switchlink dimmers and relays. It's not outage related, it just seems to happen spontaneously. Len, did you recently upgrade Signalinc's to AccessPoints? That's the only other thing I can think of that's changed in the rough time period.

    Insteon / Elk

    Interestingly, I've been having similar issues in the last couple of months. No issues for over a year, and now I have lights spontaneously turning on.. or sometimes turning on within seconds of turning them off from a wall switch

    Looking for comments on Cortexa

    I have a Cortexa system on the way for my own home. Will let you know hos its working out once I get it going, but I have no Z-Wave. Insteon/Aprilaire/Elk/Cameras will be my initial subsystems

    Insteon Lights Turning Off

    So interesting. I thought the ghost off's or ghost on-and-dim's were gone with the beta firmware. But now I'm seeing different behavior. Every few days my M1XSP seems to lose all the Insteon ID's in it and thereby the ability to control anything. How do I know? When I do a retreive using...

    Insteon Lights Turning Off

    One other question I have, is whether a full dim level is supposed to be 255 (FF) or 254 (FE). I've noticed on PH, that my default dim levels on some units is at 254 and some at 255. I'm not sure if there's any relation to this particular problem relating to dim levels, but I will try to...

    Insteon Lights Turning Off

    Yes, I did use powerhome to build all my links, and the elkinsteon.exe utility to load devices into the M1G. Right now I am having one lamp that after being turned on goes to 50% dim level about 1 in 5 times, which is a significantly lower problem frequency then I had with prior firmware. But I...

    Insteon Lights Turning Off

    I ran into this issue as well, and contacted Elk Tech Support. They sent me beta M1XSP firmware (filename says 50.0.25), but RP reports at 50.0.23. It's definately improved. But I still am having issues with a couple of lamps going back down to 50% a few moments after when they are turned on...
