I will answer my own question in case anyone runs into the same problem. Use the SET "Elk Controller" Command and the words and phases are there. Where I was having trouble was, I was looking at the ISY Console and I would see Elk Controller and lots of things listed below it starting with Counter1... but I didn't realize if I click on the Elk Controller it would pop up with things I could use/see/program. The same thing was true for when I was looking for armed state. I didn't realize I needed to simply click on the area and then it would show me what the status was. I was only seeing what was listed below it. I bet I am not the first person to run into this problem. Hope this helps someone else. I wasted a couple of hours on it.

Thank you for the help. I was able to find my way around with some trial and many errors and got the ELK Node Server Installed and working. The one thing I am still having trouble with is the "SPEAK" commands. As advertised IOX should be able to tell ELK to speak any allowed words or phrases. I had many programs that used the SPEAK command on the old 994, but don't see how to enable or set it up on the EISY with Elk Node Server. Can anyone tell me where to find it or how to use it?

I have used the ISY994 with Elk module for many years successfully. I recently changed over to EISY and have no idea where to begin to bring over the ELK functionality into my system again. Is there a get started tutorial or video I could watch. I have no experience with "plug ins", although I am sure I could learn if someone could point me in the right direction. I know I need to pay for the Elk Plugin, and I don't even know where to find it to buy it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I just updated the firmware and it works again. Thanks for your help!

This is what I see... I see that it says internet access disabled. I don't believe this was an issue before, but could be wrong. Thank you for your help.

After installing new Java I believe, I can still connect to ISY from home internally, but no longer can access it remotely like I have for years using my external IP address and port forwarding. I am getting an error saying my "CA Root Certificate is not trusted". This was never an issue before. I am a beginner when it comes to working with PCs. I have no problem with ISY programming and playing with home automation, but not a clue how to install a trusted certificate or resolve this issue. I searched and haven't found much information that makes any sense to me. Please lead me in the right direction. Thanks!

I am new to this forum so there may be some answers out there already, although I didn't find them with a search. I have been playing with the ISY, ELK, and Insteon products for a couple of years. What I want to do is bring my pool and hot tub controls into the system and looking for the best solution. I have separate pool and hot tub systems along with solar for both. I am currently using an old Intellitouch system which was good 15 years ago, but not so useful today. It has lots of problems with its design which I wont go into. I know I can control valves using the Intermatic PE24 and pumps with Insteon high current 240V switches which have worked well for me so far. The real problem I am facing is being able to measure temperature accurately and quickly and feed it into ISY to make decisions to turn on gas heater, or open solar valves, etc. I'd like to connect 6 or so thermometers or thermostats in various places and use them to make decisions. If the Insteon thermostat could be set to say 105F I could simply drop it in and use it like I would my home thermostat to control hot tub, only it is limited on the high end to 90 something. It will read higher, but I can't use it to set the temp and and feedback directly to hot tub heater. Currently I am using it to read the temperature and the feed the data back to ISY to make the decision to turn the heater on or off. There are a couple of problems with this. First it is not as nice to set the temp, but second and most importantly the feedback loop is slow. For example if I want the heater to be set to 103, and say turn it off at 103, it tends to overshoot to 104 or 105 and then not turn back on until 100 or 101, causing a 3 to 5 degrees of variation. The problem is it takes too long to get the signal to ISY that the temperature has changed. Is there anyway to get it to send temp to ISY more quickly? I am not sure what the cycle time is, but would expect it to happen if the temp changed by a small amount. What are your suggestions? I am ok with starting over with something totally different if needed. What i want to be able to do is read back temp every 10 or 15 seconds whenever the hot tub pump is running and is close to set temp and use ISY to make decisions about when to start the heater or turn it off.
