Have an old Leviton keypad controller

(three toggle switches and dimmer toggle) that I never added back in to Indigo when I switched to Insteon. I just tried adding it but don't see a device description that fits. Too old (been in service 20 + years) or is their an expanded X10 device list available?

Just use Appliance Module for any on/off devices, and Lamp Module for any dimmable devices.

Defined all three as lamp modules but still not recognized from the Home Window.. Anything else I need to check make sure X10 is operating? They are not X10 RF modules and everything works correctly from the keypad.

I don't know what this means - can you elaborate?

I also don't understand what this means - again, can you be more specific?

Re: Have an old Leviton keypad controller

If I try to turn the devices on from the Home Window iE using the Turn On, Turn Off buttons on the device dialog at the bottom, nothing happens.
If I try to turn on the device(s) from the Leviton keypad on the wall, they all work correctly including dimming.

Re: Have an old Leviton keypad controller

What does the Event Log window show when you try controlling them (from Indigo)?

It might just be a signal problem. You can try plugging your X10 interface (PowerLinc. CM11, CM15) into an extension cord on different outlets/circuits to see if any of them will control the modules. If you find one that works, then it must be a signal issue.

Re: Have an old Leviton keypad controller

I'm seeing a X10 command, just no action at the actual device.

I'm not seeing any X10 traffic if I press the a keypad control that actually turns on a light.
I'm about ready to just replace them with new devices. This is bringing back to many bad X10 memories!

Re: Have an old Leviton keypad controller

Are you using a PowerLinc? If it cannot control any X10 modules (even on the same circuit) then the X10 transmitter/receiver might have malfunctioned on it. That can happen and the PowerLinc will appear to still be working okay (and Insteon can continue to work okay).

Re: Have an old Leviton keypad controller

Yep, Powerlinc 2413U. Instead of wasting more time I'll swap them out for Insteon devices. Thanks for the help.
