After reading the updated bugs summary for 2.7.9a and haveing a significantly modified insteon installation since upgrading to 2.7.9, I decided to downgrade to a version that would allow me to maintain a solid backup file for future use. Not sure if I was lucky or just good, but I was able to successfully downgrade to 2.7.7 from 2.7.9a. All devices, programs, settings were maintained. I am now in 2.7.7 and created a backup file for the system. The only issues I encountered were: Had to rebuild only those programs that had notifications as they appeard to be damaged...I was not able to delete or alter the notifications that were converted from specific addresses to "notify all" I had 3 "notify all" in my program and when I would try to delete this line, I was unable to do so. I'm not sure if this would have caused issues, so I rebuilt these programs and deleted the problem ones. Also, I lost one of the notification addresses...this was a text notification. Also an easy fix. Hope this may work for others that are feeling lucky!

Michel... Can you provide an estimate for release of 2.7.10. I'm currently in 2.7.9 and due to the amount of links, am reluctant to move back to 2.7.7 unless absolutely necessary. I'm hpoing that the new release is close. Thanks for your continued support!

hmmm...I guess typing 8 + ) makes !!! Was trying to type tomorrow's date Jan, 8. Learn something new every day.

Michel, Is the 2.7.9 release still planned for tomorrow (Friday, Jan ... Thanks!

Joe (Brignolo)... Just a question, did you successfully upgrade from 2.7.7 to 2.7.8? I presume that if you have 137+ devices, and some devices have multiple nodes, you have more than 137 nodes and, apparently, had no problems on the upgrade.

So basically, if I count all the "lines" in My Lighting, this would be my total nodes...Right? If this is correct, then I currently have 71 nodes. I am planning to add 36 more nodes. Therefore, I should wait for the 2.7.9? Thanks

Michel, Thanks for the update on 2.7.9...I will look forward to this release. Can you please clarify the definition of a node? For example, one 8 button KPL is 1 node or 8 nodes? Same with a motion sensor...1 node or 3 nodes (motion, dusk/dawn, low battery) Thanks again!

When you refer to a "Larger installation" of greater than 75 nodes in the Known Bugs, is this only in order to do the update or does the 2.7.8 not support greater than 75 nodes? In other words, I am planning to add another 18 devices to an already-upgraded, functional 2.7.8 firmware system. This will bring me close (perhaps over) to the 75 nodes. Will I have issues with the updated firmware? Should I downdrade to 2.7.7 prior to adding all new devices? Also, just to clarify what is meant by a node...is a KPL a single node device with multiple groups, or would 1 8-button KPL be counted as 8 nodes? This clarification in how the nodes are counted may make this a non-issue for me. Thanks in advance...
