My home has numerous switches and modules including multiple KPLs. All operated by an ISY 994i. Essentially all of the devices in the house are dual band Insteon. Everything was working perfectly until recently.
I recently replaced a can light over the kitchen sink with a set of multiple ceiling fixtures having integral dimmable LEDs that look like recessed can lights..The can light was previously controlled by the usual light switch ganged with the disposer. I replaced that switch with an Insteon dimmer switch. That set of LEDs works a treat.
On a separate kitchen circuit, a bunch of fluorescent strips were replaced with two banks of full mains voltage track lights with dimmable LED bulbs. The fluorescent strips had been controlled with an Insteon relay (on/off) switch at the kitchen entrance. I replaced that switch with a KPL (2334-2 configured with 6 buttons) where the On/Off buttons operate the track. Button "A" was configured as a remote control for the in-ceiling LEDs.
The problem I am having is that when any Insteon control anywhere in the house (including buttons A through D on the same KPL) is operated, all of the kitchen track lights (if they happen to be on) flash in unison. The flashing appears to be related to the Insteon signaling in the circuitry that sets the device states per whatever scene is activated by the control.. That is, the flashing lasts only 3-4 seconds, and resembles a patterned code sequence that is different (but consistent) for each control.
Has anyone else seen this kind of behavior?
Should I suspect:
(a) the bulbs?
(b) the track or fixtures?
(c) the KPL?
My initial suspicion is (a).
