Thanks.
The previous one was added and recognized by indigo, and even had an on button and off button... guess the newer one doesn't.
Norm said he forwarded a few emails to you. where we are at now is:
1- i get events from the i/o linc to indigo whenever the garage door opens and closes (I have not hooked up the open/close control)
2- i cannot get the device to response to indigo commands such as status request or upload new device config. I did work for a few times when i first plugged the i/o link into the outlet above the garage door opener. i tried to upload a change for it to report "on" event when the garage door opens, and that change seemed to take.
3- repeaters appear to be successfully deployed on both power legs
Notes: it seemed really weird to me that the only way for indigo computer to successfully added the i/o linc was for the new repeater to be within 1' of the computer!
-also weird to me that when reading links/rebuilding links that it still shows the old repeater, even though it hasn't been plugged in for at least a week.
Did i see something in another forum here that spoke of built in "ping" tools? could i use that to see if that will see the i/o linc? and see what kind of delays etc... it brings back? Does it also do a traceroute to show the devices it goes thru to get to the i/o link and return?
- seems super weird to these noob eyes that commands don't work but messages from the i/o to indigo do.
thanks for any help in advance,
Andrew
