All: I also posted this on the Smarthome techmall board, so apologies if you saw it there. There's just not a great deal of overlap between the two boards and Cocoontech members seem to be able to solve anything. A similar post is also in the Homeseer board, but no resolution via that yet, either. Here's the problem:
I currently have 51 Insteon devices installed, and with the exception of a Switchlinc that I have to change out due to the triac flutter issue, most of the system is working beautifully now.
What is not working well are my keypadlincs. They control my Insteon switches very well after they have been linked, but they also seem to have developed three other problems that may or may not be related. First, it seems one of these kaypadlincs has now developed links to a previously installed switchlinc and also between the B button on one keypadlinc and the On button of another keypadlinc. Rather weird, but not the biggest problem.
I have also found that my PLC (2414S, v 2.12) doesn't seem to "see" some of my button presses when I attempt to use them to trigger events in HomeSeer. This happens even after I have manually linked the button in question to the PLC. Example: I have a Homeseer event that shuts off the lighting in the living area of the house and arms the Elk security panel for the night when a particular keypadlinc button is pressed. Some days it works beautifully, but on others it doesn't work at all.
Finally, my keypadlinc buttons (individually or all of them - it varies) will sometimes flash and flicker after a keypadlinc button is pressed, and at other times when no button is pressed but other Insteon traffic is on the line. It's very annoying and unattractive. Note that this is not the load on the keypadlinc (there aren't any) but the LEDs themselves.
So... Does anyone have any idea of what's going on here? Would the recently released version of the keypadlinc solve this? As noted, everything else (46 other devices!) is very solid now. It's just these @#$^@#$^ keypadlincs that are driving me batty.
Thanks.
