Now I see it! Its the Variable ID. As in: /rest/vars/set/<var-type>/<var-id>/<value> Sets a variable given by var-id var-type: 1 – Integer 2 – State So in this case, the alert was caused by a change in value of variable 2.11 <state.11> I modified my program to be driven by a state variable and tested by changing the variable value. Now I get "Value: 2.1" My State variable is ID#1 so that correlates to your perfectly. -Xathros

I recreated your custom notification on my test system and ran a test. The value I get in place of your "Value: 2.11" is the name of my device tree "Network: XathTest". In my test case, the program was sending an X10 command. It looks like {Alert.Details} is related to the most recent event to occur within the system. There are very few places in the ISY that support floating point values. Energy and Climate modules come to mind. You might look at the data available from those and see if you can spot a 2.11 somewhere. -Xathros

Sorry. I have no clue what the 2.11 means in this case. -Xathros

What does your custom notification definition look like? -Xathros

I pulled my system out when I moved and rebuilt/expanded at my new place. Ended up with a much more functional system the second time around. Could have fixed the first one by starting over but never felt it was worth doing until the move forced the issue. -Xathros

Glad I could be of assistance. -Xathros

Anytime! Always happy to help. -Xathros

Because the change in status of the light coming on when triggered would have canceled the timer if done in a single program. This method also takes care of a possible issue when the light is triggered On less thaan 2 minutes before Sunrise+30. -Xathros

What are you trying to accomplish? As far as I can tell, /rest/query/<node-id> does query the node just like the admin console. You can follow that with a /rest/status/<node-id> after a brief delay to get the result of the query. -Xathros

28 links is still a very small number. How many devices do you have? Any multinode devices like KPL's? Do the show plm links/count again as any insteon traffic arriving during the show will throw off the pointer and result in fewer or more than actual number of links. -Xathros

Then I would recommend restoring a recent backup and trying the restore PLM again per LeeG's suggestion. Try to make sure there is no Insteon traffic during the restore. -Xathros

Select Tools / Diagnostics / Show ISY Links Tabls. That should give you a popup list of devices to select. Pick a device. Are any links shown? Do you have a recent ISY backup? -Xathros

Gotcha! -Xathros

Doesn't the Elk have an internal battery backup? -Xathros

It is also my preference to have the PLM located at the panel along with my phase bridging access points. -Xathros

20' should be OK between the ISY and the PLM. I wouldn't try to push it much farther than that. -Xathros

Another thought, I have my RaspberryPi's set a variable on the ISY when they boot. I could use this for detecting power restored if an RPi was not on a UPS. -Xathros

Neil- In most cases, I log into my devices and manually configure a static address in the devices settings. This way, it does not depend on my router for DHCP and can communicate with other devices on my LAN in the event the router goes down for whatever reason. In some cases a device is NOT configurable that way (UBI, Nexia Bridge etc) and I need to do a MAC reservation in the router. You are correct that I don't get those IP's from my ISP but rather my router. That comment was considering those whose routers are provided by their ISP's in the form of a Modem with NAT router built in. The DNS comment was in regard to the fact that I am addressing my devices by IP address rather than name or DDNS name which may have required a DNS lookup. My goal with this configuration is to make my HA systems as robust as possible by eliminating as many points of failure as possible. Having the static addressing also makes it easier for me to find these devices on my network when I need to log into a device and make changes. No moving targets. Hope this makes sense. -Xathros

Thanks Michel, I actually remembered that. The OP had said: Hence my reply. -Xathros

PLM must be booted before the ISY. -Xathros

Enable/Disable internet access has only to do with automatic port forwarding using UPnP. DHCP address reservation vs DHCP vs Static addressing is unrelated to the Enable/Disable setting. It should work either way but due to the timing and boot sequences, some routers may have issues uless you have configured a fixed address for the ISY. I personally have configured a static address in the ISY and manually port forwarded. This has been a VERY reliable configuration for me. It does mean that if my network subnet changes due to an ISP or router change, I might have trouble accessing my ISY. Not an issue for me as if I were to change my router, I would simply configure the new one to use the same subnet and IP pools. I have probably 30 devices on my network with static addresses. Only mobile devices and guests get DHCP addresses on my network. This way all of my devices can communicate using IP addresses rather than names. No uplink or DNS required. The only time I use MAC reservation in my router is for devices that don't allow me to set a static address in their own UIs. -Xathros

170001 is an informational message not an error. I believe it is related to subscription events. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Try File / Restore Modem (PLM) -Xathros

Try this: If Status 'Switch 1' is not Off and Control 'Switch 1' is switched On Then Set 'Light 2' On Else Hope this helps. -Xathros

Unplug both the PLM and the ISY. Power the PLM, wait 10 seconds, power the ISY. Test again. If that still fails, select Tools / Diagnostics / Show PLM Links Table. Click Start. When the display is complete, Press Count. How many links do you show? You may need to repeat this procedure a few times to get an accurate count as any traffic reaching the PLM during the Show, will throw off the count. -Xathros
