Here goes Jay. Hope it'll help others that may be struggling and/or act as a memory jog for me next time.
Note the Channel change. In retrospect I think that's where I got hung up when I couldn't get past button 5 until I changed the dip switches to use another channel. Could be that each channel does 5 "buttons" making up the 20 possible. That's just a guess though, as many things are.
These are the original instructions, only #3 is modified.
- Code: Select all
1. Press and hold the pushbutton on the side of EZSnsRF for about
4 seconds, then release it and observe the LED on its side flash
about once per second (slow rate). The EZSnsRF is now listen-
ing for wireless senders.
2. Use any method to activate the sender to be linked (e.g. move in
front of a motion sensor or press a pushbutton on a keyfob). The
EZSnsRF LED will flash more rapidly upon “hearing” the wire-
less sender. The EZSnsRF is now listening for INSTEON de-
vices to enroll (link with.)
3. With Indigo: (Assuming that the EZSnsRF itself has already been linked in Indigo)
Double-click the EZSnsRF device. Click the "Send PowerLinc Set Button Pressed"
3. [IGNORE when using Indigo] Press and hold the pushbutton on the INSTEON device to be
controlled until its LED blinks, or a light connected to it flashes
(about 3-4 seconds depending on the particular unit) indicating
the completed link. The EZSnsRF LED may flash briefly but
will continue to blink about twice per second indicating readi-
ness to enroll additional INSTEON devices on this group.
4. If additional INSTEON devices need to be enrolled, repeat step
3 above. Otherwise, if done enrolling devices on this group,
press and hold the pushbutton on the EZSnsRF for 3-4 seconds,
then release it at which point the LED on the EZSnsRF will turn
off indicating readiness to accept a timer value.
5. A timer (value from .5 to 15.5 minutes) can now be added to
delay the OFF command regardless of the duration of the in-
coming wireless signal. If no timer is needed, end the linking
process by pressing and holding the EZSnsRF pushbutton for 3-
4 seconds. Its LED will glow steadily again. If a timer is de-
sired, tap the pushbutton on the EZSnsRF 1-31 times (each tap
adds 1/2 minute to the timer), then press and hold the EZSnsRF
pushbutton for 3-4 seconds to end the linking session. The
EZSnsRF LED will return to a dim condition.
Delivered, my IR-3000's are set to Channel 2 (dip 9 off, 10 on). I could not get past button 5. I changed to Channel 3 ( dip 9 on, 10 off) and it came up with a button 6.
The #4 and #5 instructions/procedures are really lame for us Indigo users and I basically tried to enter just through them, I.e. pressed the button on the EZSnsRF itself a few times. Success on that is where the bit of luck comes in
My EZSnsRF is called "Dakota". Once you see this in the Event Log you have lift-off:
- Code: Select all
Received INSTEON "Dakota" on (button 6)
Trigger Action Sensor Button 6 (Dakota)
Received INSTEON "Dakota" off (button 6)
I only use the "on" trigger, in conjunction with the Timer script. Off is ignored.
My IR-3000 settings are set for a 15 second reset so that the timer resets promptly. I use 3-4 minutes in my timer to act as "room occupied" time.
Lights are turned off based on the Timer script. Works very well. Too bad the new Insteon MD's don't work like this

EDIT:
Please take the above with a grain of salt, I.e. it seems that linking/setting up the IR-3000 with the Dakota Alert is not an exact science, at least not for me
To add another IR-3000 I had to change channels again before I could get a "button 7". I have some unused buttons it seems but it could be that I used those up in my initial setup before Indigo had the Button. I may have to resort to a factory reset yet, but not until I run out of codes/buttons altogether.
