None of the other 4 LEDs should be constantly illuminated. LEDs are only
illuminated if; Transmitting to PLM (TX), Receiving from PLM (RX), Writing to
Memory (MEM), System error (Error)! If all 4 LEDs are illuminated solid then the
ISY is most likely locked up and will need to be power cycled according to the
directions in the previous question.
24.1.8 How do I mount my ISY in my structured media panel?
•
I found that two 3 inch long strips double sided Velcro work just fine. I usually stick
the soft fuzzy side to the device, and the rough hook side to the mounting spot that
way if you remove the device to work with it the fuzzy Velcro does not scratch
anything.
24.1.9 What is an ISY scene?
•
Scenes are simply a group of devices. A scene is equal to a group in INSTEON
vernacular. Also, a scene is as small as two devices linked together and the more
links you add the bigger the scene gets. I think there is a desire to think that just
linking two devices is just a link and this is correct but it is still a scene. So, if you
want to create a link between two devices you will have to create a scene to do it.
24.1.10 What is the best way to create a scene?
•
Start with adding all your responding devices first. Then add your controlling
devices last. This consolidates the longest busy times to just the last few devices you
add to the scene.
24.1.11 What can I do when not all my devices are responding correctly?
•
The INSTEON Power Line Modem is the main connection between your ISY and
INSTEON network. If you’re having issues that not all devices responding you may
need to try connecting PLM to another location or try relocating your SignaLincs.
Also, it may help not to connect the Wall-wart (power transformer) to the PLM pass-
thru plug. The ISY has very little to do with the quality of communication on the
INSTEON network.
24.1.12 Is there an offset for sunrise or sunset timers; how do I use it?
•
There is support for offset time (in minutes) for Sunrise and Sunset. If you want a
schedule for 1.5 hours before Sunrise, make the offset -90. For any positive offset,
leave out the sign. In the Schedule Configuration there is a Spin Box that if you click
the little up and down arrows you will see the numbers change to positive and
negative numbers.
