No Common
That is true. Which is one reason why I asked about the load. If it was for a light or something else (like a switched outlet). I have a switched outlet that this won't work for so I went a different route on that one pending a re-wire when my daughter changes rooms.

Support Thread: 5.0.16C (ISY994)
It won't auto update Beta releases. So I don't know what's going on with your system. I updated my Dev box with no issues at all. I'm planning my PROD box tonight.

No Common
Is it controlling a light or something else? There is the Insteon Dimmer that does NOT require a neutral wire. I have one in use as I didn't feel the need to pull wire for that single light. I would suggest you may want to pull some other switches just to take a look and see if this is a wide spread problem in your home or just that room/area/switch.

Remove Controller Function from Lamplinc
You will have to remove the device from the scene and then re-add it back as a responder.

Motion Detector II Charger/Power Adaptor
I don't know about the SmartHome charger/adapter but I use a normal mini USB cable with a right angle or adapter and use whatever USB wall adapter I have. I've never used any "special" USB wall adapter for the MS II and my powered one's have been running without issue.

Globe RGB Wifi Smart Bulbs ISY994 integration
To my knowledge there is no NodeServer currently supporting "Globe Wifi Bulbs". I looked at their website and they have no mention of any API information nor developer integration. Suspicion is they are probably a Tuya backed device. There currently is not a Tuya NodeServer either. If you want to expand your home automation I would suggest Philips Hue or LiFX bulbs as they are already well supported. Wifi devices in general are NOT automation friendly beyond the common Google/Amazon integrations that everyone supports. There are some Wifi exceptions of course but if your plan is to integrate with the ISY I suggest you check device compatibility before purchase.

Multiple Amazon Alexa Dots
They once were called "Smart Groups" now they are just groups. Here's the help doc https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201749250 The basics are to create a group aka Room and add the echo to that room you want to be the controller. Then any devices you add to that group will be controlled by the simple phrases. Such as "turn on the lights". This will turn on EVERY device you add to this group.

Temporarily Repurposing Lamplincs for Christmas
Interesting. I'll find out soon enough if I run into this issue or not.

Temporarily Repurposing Lamplincs for Christmas
You must have the "dimmer" outlet model? I don't use those. I only use the dual outlet on/off as I don't want to deal with these types of issues from an outlet.
-
Temporarily Repurposing Lamplincs for Christmas
I planned ahead for this circumstance as well. All of the outlets I use for any holiday lighting are smart outlets and I have the outdoor plugins for outside. Still contemplating replacing the rest of my outlets with OutLetLincs... figure why not right?

NodeLink Moved to .NET Core 3
Gotcha... I always forget there's the Raspian desktop image. The "debian with rPi load" threw me off
-
NodeLink Moved to .NET Core 3
Can I ask... what is " Debian with the RPi load" ??? Raspbian is just debian for arm with some additional edu packages and hardware specific packages for rPi.

ISY issuing commands, but not receiving info from field devices
Just checking. Can never be certain and safer to ask than to assume. Sounds like the PLM was wiped or dying....do you see an received traffic in the event viewer in Level 3?
-
ISY issuing commands, but not receiving info from field devices
No. I'm from Simplex Technology. Very odd that the PLM is empty. I'm guessing you do have devices in your Admin Console? And they did work at some time? Sorry haven't followed/remembered from the beginning of the thread.
-
ISY issuing commands, but not receiving info from field devices
Dumb question. Are the devices linked to the ISY? Can you list the device links and compare to the ISY and see if they match?

In Floor heating thermostat options for the ISY 994i
PSA: Just an update the Nuheat Signature nodeserver is coming along. I have a few quirks to iron out before I'm ready to release for public testing but it should be soon'ish.

Any way to stop or limit logging from a single device?
The spreadsheet option is convenient and useful. I think moving away from Java for the Admin Console is a great thing, however I really hope the capabilities/features are not lost in the attempt to make things "easy" or "user friendly" as other systems are in process of doing. The Admin interface is for Administration not for end user display or control. Either way back on topic... I'm sure once the Admin UI is moved away from Java and the Polisy release is underway and kinks ironed out then once things start settling down attention can be made to the smaller items. I'd rather have a fully functional and stable system with a few annoyances than a pretty looking unusable/unstable system any day.

Any way to stop or limit logging from a single device?
I've requested a feature request to be able to set event logging on a per device basis as well. I don't know if it will happen but I've asked. I have Z-Wave thermostat's that report constantly idle/heating as they are short cycle baseboard thermostat's and my event log is just full of those messages. I setup a program to clear my event logs daily.

In Floor heating thermostat options for the ISY 994i
No. It's not quite that simple. It would be nice if it were then every controller out there would support z-wave and zigbee and all devices would work perfect on every controller and nobody would be needed to chase around vendors to get their product information and how they implemented the ZCL for their devices.
-
In Floor heating thermostat options for the ISY 994i
Zigbee module yes. ZHA profile support for Zigbee devices... no. Unless something has changed the ZB module for ISY is only for Power Meter integration and doesn't support the ZHA profile used by all consumer/home automation zigbee devices. @Michel Kohanim

In Floor heating thermostat options for the ISY 994i
In looking around Sinope has a full line of Floor thermostats. The Zigbee model probably works with the Hubitat Elevation hub. You would need to ask them and verify though. It seems that a lot of devices are choosing Zigbee now instead of Z-Wave. I think it's likely due to the high cost and time involved in Z-Wave certification for each product.

In Floor heating thermostat options for the ISY 994i
Herein lies the problem... who is the OEM for these thermostat's. The LX205T is identical in looks and specs as the OJ and NuHeat. This is a similar issue with the multitude of Wifi devices on the market. There are hundreds of them that are rebranded but they all utilize the same backend cystem for their API and figuring out what that backend is and who controls it is the tricky part. Great example are Tuya devices. There are literally thousands of devices that are rebranded but they all use the same Tuya backend for their API. The obvious best case scenario is a device with a local API that is directly accessible. Most Wifi device vendors don't provide this as they then lose the ability to gather/sell information about the end user. My preference is to keep things local but device manufacturers make this very difficult.

As far as I know the StelPro Ki Z-Wave is baseboard only as it does not have the floor temp sensor probe connection. I don't know about their Maestro line.

In Floor heating thermostat options for the ISY 994i
I did get a call back from NetworkThermostat and they do not provide any line-voltage controlled thermostat's.
-
In Floor heating thermostat options for the ISY 994i
I've looked at those and none of them work with line-voltage applications (baseboard, floor heating). They are all designed around 24v systems and they are actually quite expensive. I have however put in a call to them to inquire if they do have any other options available.
