I've created a garage door scene to open/close the garage door using my IO Linc. The scene is shared by one of the scene buttons on my 6-button keypad by my front door which seems to be working fine. I tried adding a plug-in dimmer module in the garage (not actually connected to anything) as a way to physically open/close the garage from down there. When I first set it up it seemed to work, then I got a yellow light in the app. How should I set up this configuration? I have both the keypad scene button and plug-in module setup at BOTH responders and controllers, and the IO Linc garage door as a responder. Ideally, I'd also like to add a 5 second delay to the plug-in module in the garage to give me time to get out before it shuts... would that be a 5-second ramp rate??

Originally posted by TFitzpatri8The yellow indicator in the app means a signal issue, the Hub was not able to confirm device status. You may need to add another Insteon device/repeater to get around whatever is interfering with signals.
Negative on the 5 second question, not using Insteon scenes or a Hub. If they are linked, the IOLinc will react just as soon as you press the controller button. You’d need to use a more sophisticated control solution like an ISY to listen for signals, then wait, then control the garage. Or you could use a wireless Mini Remote from outside, after you clear the door.
