Re: [mh] Insteon Motion Sensor 2420m

[Ron B. <rb...@be...>]

I have a 2420M working properly.  I have written a "writeup" on my site. 
  You might want to look here:

http://www.usefulramblings.org/?page_id=2451
scroll to the bottom of the page looking for "WORKING WITH INSTEON 
DEVICES".  Also a quick read from the top might unearth some other 
configuration items needed for insteon.  My release of the insteon 
release is several releases out but "if it ain't broke..."

I hope this will help.
