I've just installed my hub, both dimmers and 2 leak sensors. When the leak sensors detect water/cycle I get text and e-mail notifications. The dimmers on the other hand are not sending notification when they turn on and off. Any help would be appreciated

Select Edit Devices, select one of the dimmers. Is both On Alert and Off Alert green?Message from Forum Admin: stusviews passed away in April 2018.

You'll need a more intelligent INSTEON manager, such as HouseLinc, to sechedule alerts. HouseLinc requires a that Windows computer be on at least during the scheduled time. HouseLinc is also capable of "if this, then do that" programming.Message from Forum Admin: stusviews passed away in April 2018.

There are two secrets to success with ISY programming: understanding the difference between Status and Control, and recognizing what causes a program to trigger an ELSE statement. Get those two concepts down and the rest is a piece of cake. Have you asked for help over on the ISY forum? [url]Http://forum.universal-devices.com[/url]

Greatscott222 asked "Is there a way to setup notification for the schedule so I know the lamp has gone on/off while I'm away from the house?"
I am having an issue with alerts as well. I use the latest versions of dimmer modules and on/off switches. They only respond when I manually turn them on and off at the module/switch.

What logic is behind this functionality? I am standing in front of the switch/module turning it on or off and the scheme involved is to send me an email and/or a text telling me what I did?
Logically, the reverse should occur --- alerts should occur based on the schedule and not for manual operation.

Thanks TFitzpatri8!
Your explanation does lend logic to the process.
I use the Insteon products at multiple locations, one of which is a second home. The products work well for tha intended use of automating lights, thermostat, etc.while we are away, thus the position of wanting to know if things are working as intended. Upon reflecting on your answer the alerts perform a logical and useful purpose as defined.
There were seven other requests and assignment for userid TFitzpatri?
