Arming Elk M1G with Insteon Problem

[apostolakisl]

I have had a KPL programmed to turn on my Elk m1G to night mode for 2 years and it has been working fine. Now, for no reason that I can tell, I push the kpl button and nothing happens. Then 5 minutes later it arms! What the heck? How can there be this delay? I can see the led on one of the Insteon repeaters blink when I hit the button so I know the kPL is initiating Insteon traffic when I push the button. Other buttons on the kpl work instantly.

I don't know where to look to fix this. Any ideas? I assume the delay is in the Elk.

For a PLC setup:
Most issues can be traced to the PLC. So I would unplug and replugin the PLC. If that doesn't work then repower the ElkM1. Then I would highly recommend buying any ISY if you don't have one...

For an ISY setup:
Reboot the ISY, then reboot the Elk if that doesn't work.

I do have an ISY and did reboot it. I also rebooted the M1xep. I haven't tried rebooting the Elk or the PLC. I will give it a try.

Rebooted the Elk, PLC, and ISY all at once and now it is working again. Not sure where the problem was but nice to have it fixed.
