It sounds like you are already set up with port forwarding using port 443. All you need to do is set up the machine you are trying to access from with the right URL to connect to your external IP at port 443. That should look something like: https:/// -Xathros

104F is not that far fetched inside an electrical junction box exposed to the sun. At my previous house, I had an inlinelinc relay installed in an outside Floodlight/motion sensor on my garage for 2-3 years with no problems. Climate here in So. VT is very similar to Boston. I'm quite sure it saw temperatures outside of the specs on both ends many times. -Xathros

Yes, unfortunate. I understand this to be a limitation of the keypad, itself. Actually, I believe this is a limitation of the Insteon protocol and not the device specifically. LeeG has explained the reason somewhere on this forum in the past. -Xathros

Barry- For each scene, the controller (ie the button you press for that scene) should have an on level of 100% and the remaining 3 buttons should have an on level of 0%. First, add the fan motor to each scene as a responder. Might as well just get it done now. For for the High Scene, Select the A button, set the onlevel for A to 100%, B to 0%, C to 0% and D to 0% and the Fan to High Then Select the Scene for Medium, Select Button B and Set the Onlevel for A to 0%, B to 100% , C to 0% and D to 0% and the Fan to Med Then Select the Scene for Low and select Button C, Set the Onlevel for A to 0%, B to 0% C to 100% and D to 0% and the Fan to Low Then Select the Scene for Off, Select the D button and Set A to 0%, B to 0% C to 0% and D to either 100% or 0% depending on what you want D to do when pressed - Set the Fan to Off You will want to go through these settings for each scene twice. Once with the scene name selected in the tree on the left and again with the controller (as per the list above) of the scene selected in the tree on the left. The controller is the scene member listed in red for the scene when you expand the scene in the tree. The setting for the controller define what happens when you push a KPL button to activate the scene. The settings for the scene name define what happens when the scene is initiated by the admin console or a program. I would expect you want both to be the same. Hope that helps. -Xathros

In my opinion, Insteon is not reliable enough to be used for security. That takes a real system like Elk with supervised sensors, tamper detection, battery backup etc. The ISY is a major value add to a system like Elk but not a replacement. -Xathros

I'm running Java 1.7.55 here with ISY FW 4.2 on MAC OS X 10.9.2 with no issues. -Xathros

Anytime. Happy to help. -Xathros

Yes. The timer will restart every time the 2nd program is called even if it is already running. This is different because the first program can now evaluate false and not terminate the countdown in the then clause since the timer is now in a separate program. -Xathros

Try splitting this into two programs as follows: If ( Control 'GarageMotionSensor-Sensor' is switched On And Status 'IOLinc-GarageDoor-Sensor' is On And From Sunrise + 1 hour To Sunset - 1 hour (same day) ) Or ( Control 'GarageMotionSensor-Sensor' is switched On And From Sunset - 1 hour To Sunrise + 1 hour (next day) ) Then Run Program GlightTimer (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Program GlightTimer If Then Set 'GarageLight' On Wait 2 minutes Set 'GarageLight' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Hope this helps. -Xathros

"Goto http:///admin/admin.jnlp" should result in a file download that can be saved. Your browser must be opening the file for you. What browser are you using? You are correct that the 4.1.17 AC is what is in the ISY's firmware. You can pull the 4.1.2 AC from UDI's website the same way using: http://isy.universal-devices.com/994i/4.1.2/admin.jnlp Again, you want to save the file not open it at this stage. For the Dashboard, use: http://isy.universal-devices.com/994i/4 ... board.jnlp Using Firefox, I am prompted to save the resulting JNLP files from the links above. -Xathros

Try connecting with https:// instead of http:// Once in, set the http port back to 80 and leave the https port at 443. You can change the ports but they need to be different from each other. -Xathros

Oberkc- Sunrise to Sunset would usually be the (Same Day) - not next. This is for during the day usage. Sunset to Sunrise would use (Next Day) for overnight use. BillFuchs- There is no reason for this to stop functioning. Post the actual program involved. I suspect there is another condition that is causing the failure. Possibly related to the motion sensor. -Xathros

Hi Rod- There is a copy of the Admin console stored right in your ISY! Here is how to get to it: Start by clearing your java cache (including applications) Goto http:///admin/admin.jnlp Save the resulting JNLP file to your downloads or docs or wherever you want to save it. Double click the JNLP file to install a fresh copy of the Admin console onto your desktop. Should you need to reinstall the console again, just clear the cache and double click the saved JNLP file again. Dashboard does not exist in the ISY like the admin console so you need to pull that JNLP file from the UDI URL but the same method works for saving the file and reinstalling the dashboard. Keep in mind that you will need new JNLP files anytime the firmware is updated otherwise your UI will be out of sync with the actual firmware. -Xathros

I believe that 4.1.2 is the most recent beta version released. Anything higher than that at the moment is a limited release alpha which is less tested and more likely to have problems. That said, I have been running 4.1.3 alpha for about a month now and have had no unexpected problems. -Xathros

Excellent. Glad I could help. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Electronic equipment, UPSs and Surge suppressor strips should usually be placed behind a filter to prevent noise or signal attenuation from such devices from affecting your Insteon communications. If that strip is on the same circuit as the PLM or the problem device, then you may have just located your problem. You can pick up a filterlinc to place between the strip and the outlet to isolate that from the system. As a test, using a long extension cord, plug that strip into a distant outlet and see if you can then communicate with that problem device. If so, then putting a filter on that strip will likely help your situation. -Xathros

Sounds like poor communications to the device location. Has anything changed on the circuit that device is on? New electronics, power strip, charger etc? -Xathros

Right click the device and select "Write Updates to device" -Xathros

OK. One last thing to try: Clear your Java cache (All checkboxes - Including applications) Goto: http://isy.universal-devices.com/994i/4.1.2 See if that is any different. -Xathros

OK. Your description is similar to problems that are often related to AV/Firewall issues. Have you tried temporarily disabling your AV/Firewall to see if it makes a difference? -Xathros

Try double clicking the My Programs Folder. It could just be collapsed. -Xathros

Harold- I note that you have both Access points and a passive bridge installed. I would recommend removing the passive bridge in favor of the access points. The passive bridge can actually bridge noise from one phase to the other and does not retransmit signals at full strength where the access points will only pass valid Insteon traffic and at full strength. -Xathros

I have to agree with Brian on this one. Likely since you have no bulbs in the circuit, no current flows through that circuit and is not "Transmitting" noise as a result. -Xathros

smokegrub- I'm at a loss. As far as I can tell, your system and mine are nearly identical yet I have no problem with mine in this regard. I think you may need assistance from UDI support at this point as I am all out of ideas as to what may be causing this. -Xathros

Understood. What I am saying is have a program modify the local ramp rate setting a few seconds after the control has switched on or off so that the next opposite action at the control has the desired ramp rate. Is this not possible? -Xathros
