Is there any way I can put an X10 PLM along with Insteon PLM together in a powerbar, all X10 signals would not leak out to the powerline outside the powerbar?   Reason for this is, I have a PLM attached to HAI for lighting control, however, I also have a ISY99 for Insteon.  So far in ISY99, I...

I went through all my switches and looked them up, I happened to have one SmartHome Keypadlinc that had Booster feature. I must had it on as I turned off Booster feature according to manual, right away I was able to restore the Keypadlinc that kept giving me grief, at the same time, that...

I did a compare for all my switches between what's reporting from ISY vs from the device, most are okay but I do have a few showing mismatch. I did a factory reset and all disappeared from the switch when I did another polling from it through ISY. Then I thought I could just do a restore from...

Thanks Lou, I did factory 2 of my KeypadLincs in questions, confirmed all links were removed, did a restore from ISY. They still flash "sometimes" after I press the button locally on the switch. I checked the link table between polling the switch vs. from ISY, I always get one more link, is...

Curious if I had the outletlinc instead of the plugin module, will it still have the auto sense feature?

I did a poll on my Keypadlinc found 21 devices in the linked table from the keypad, vs 20 from ISY. I'm going to factory reset the switch to see if it will make a difference.

Thanks so much for your help on this, I read through the ISY99 manual last night to see if I'm missing something. I now have the access points actually closer to the electrical panel and make sure they're in blinking green when testing. That seems to have helped with that one keypadlinc I was...

Could it be bad programming in ISY? So far it responds to on/off and update the backlight accordingly if the load is switch on/off from the actual switch. However, if I press the button that corresponds to the light switch, nothing happens and the backlight flickers for few seconds.

I'm just having too much fun to say the least! I add another line with "or" as condtion, now nothing triggers!

Ahh, looks like programming in Insteon is very different than with X10. It's triggering ONLY if I press that light switch, but if I press it with RemoteLinc it doesn't trigger the event.

Looks like I can't make this program to fire X10 command as it's not capturing the Insteon trigger, how else should I program it so when ISY receives Insteon command, it would send off an equivlent X10 command?

It's the LED light that would normally indicate if the remote load is on or off when I press the button. What seems to be happening is that whenever I press the button, the LED of that button would start to flicker for about 5 seconds then it goes off. Around that time, the load from the...

I have one Keypadlinc, for some reason aside from the local ON/OFF buttons, anything I press would flicker the backlight for few seconds. The load from remote seems to come on but not instant. The same when I tried to use the RemoteLinc, it would just flicker for few seconds although the load...

That did it, have to find one that draws roughly 1W or more of power and no more flickering. I actually have a few of these wall warts that I'm going to throw out, they may come in handy now! Thank you all for your suggestions.

Trying to migrate my HA from X10 based to Insteon, I have about 70% of switches that I have replaced in the few years Insteon on compatible, just been using the X10 mode for the longest time. I'm using X10 mode as my security system and light control is HAI, which has no support for Insteon...
