Trying to figure out how to automatically turn off my front & garage door lights for Halloween. Those lights, along with many other exterior lights are programmed to turn on at varying times before dusk. Due to some physical issues, I can no longer keep going to the front door for trick-or-treaters at this time. I don't see anything in the documentation about Halloween being some kind of special flag in the ISY programming. The ideal situation would be for those 2 lights not even come on at dusk on Halloween, but then come on at, say, midnight. Any ideas?

@oberkc Got everything setup, just one annoying issue remains. On the admin console, I created a new scene. To that, added a few switches and a couple scenes already on the keypad. Then added the new scene to the MobiLinc dashboard. With everything turned on, brought up MobiLinc dashboard and hit the new scene. Everything went off as expected, but the lights on the existing keypad stayed on. This issue sounds familiar but my searches here are not finding anything. Does this sound familiar?

Thank you sir! I knew there had to be some way to do this.

Haven't messed with any of my Insteon stuff in about a hundred 😁 years - it just always works! I have an 8-button keypad in my garage. Each one of them is programmed to multiple devices throughout the house, which were all setup ages ago in the Admin Console on my PC. I now would like to access one of the buttons with my MobiLinc Pro on iOS (iPhone 15). I added one of the buttons to the Devices Dashboard in MobiLinc, but when I bring up that device, it shows as Status Only Device. Is there any way around that? Some way to directly access that button as on/off in MobiLinc? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but again, I haven't make any changes in my Insteon/MobiLinc setup in a very long time! Hopefully I'm just a bit rusty and forgot 99% of what I used to know Thanks

Thanks guys, that was easy enough. Added the new device in Admin Console, deleted the old one, updated the two programs that reference the device and took a new backup.

Since my old 2466DW is fried, I ordered a new 2477D. Should be arriving today. Been wondering about how I should handle this in the ISY99i Admin Console. Once the switch is installed, I'd like it keep the same program that is currently running the 2466DW. How would I go about this? Probably an obvious question I'm just not seeing, but its been at least 4-5 years since I've changed/added any new hardware and I very rarely even go into the Admin Console any more. Thanks

Yep, ordering one now. Had quite a scare last night. Went to try the Power down & factory reset one more time but the module was so hot I couldn't even touch it for a second! Had to power down the circuit, let it sit for an hour, then remove the switch. Yikes!!!

Thanks guys, just got back from a trip and went through the troubleshooting: Shut off the breaker to kill the power Waited about 10 minutes, turned breaker on Looking at the switch, I could see a faint/slow blink in the set button, once per second Tried the factory reset (pull out set button, wait 10 seconds, pushed the set button in and held it, but never got the long beeping sound) Waited a little while and release the set button (Just in case...) Still no sound at all and the switch still has that faint/slow blink Turned the switch on and off a few times, nothing happens I guess its time to order a new 2477D. Thank you all for the info!

I have 5 PAR38 halogen floodlights spread out over my back yard, controlled by a Rev 4.2 2466DW that goes on an sunset, off at sunrise. Just noticed last week that 3 of the lights were out. Since the big box stores no longer carry those bulbs, I went with Ecosmart PAR38 dimmable LEDs. Yesterday, I was outside when the lights came on and they just blink, on for a second, off for a second on for second, etc... Thinking it was these new bulbs, I found the old-style halogen bulbs and ordered them online. Just got them and replaced all 5, but its doing the same on, off, on... Any ideas what is going on here?

Wow, now I feel like a complete maroon, the answer was right in front of my eyes. After 50+ years of software development, I can't believe I missed something so basic. When I did the download of start.jnlp, and as you can see in my screenshot in the OP, the file was indeed associated with Firefox as noted by the icon in front of it. Once I associated it with Java, the launcher worked. DOH! The only issue was when I started it up, it could not find my ISY. Rather than wasting more time trying to figure that out, I just added the entry and now I'm in business. What piece is missing that would have allowed the new Launcher from finding my ISY? Thanks guys for your responses. Always appreciate the help we all get from you guys!!!

Thanks @kzboray, but as I mentioned in the OP, I did download the latest version.

Just built a new Win 10 PC and I can't get IoX launcher installed. Been using the Admin Console on my old Win 7 PC for as long as I can remember and rarely had any issues. Even upgraded to IoX Launcher last year and the process went perfectly. I downloaded the latest Java version and when installing, got the prompt to delete the existing version. I then cleared the Java cache (all 3 check boxes) and went to https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp. Instead of starting up, I got this prompt: I saved the file, then double-clicked on it and it opened a new tab in Firefox that only said this: IoX Launcher Universal Devices This utility finds ISY Services and launches the correct version of the UI/Admin Console/Dashboard IoX Launcher I waited and waited, but nothing happens. I've cleared the cache and tried installing about 5 times, but still no joy. What am I missing here?

Hi @sjenkins, thanks for chiming in. As I mentioned, I was just looking for a way to integrate water sensors in my Insteon system. I've looked at Polisy and Eisy, but just don't have the need (or do I?) to go beyond my old faithful 994i. Would you please expand on how you integrate the Yolink sensors with Polisy & Eisy? The Yolink comes with its own hub and app, so I'm very curious!

Thanks guys, but doesn't look like this is going to work for me. About 90% of my setup is just 2466x switches and they are not on the Dual Band Wireless list. The few things I have that are on that list are nowhere near where I'd need the water sensors. I did get excited for a brief moment when I discovered the #2443 Dual Band Access Point, but my hopes were completely dashed when I found that these aren't around any more. The only one I could find was a used one one on eBay. I guess, for the time being anyway, I'm stuck with my YoLink water sensors. I test them regularly and they seem to work as intended, but I really wanted to integrate this with my Insteon system.

Thanks for the quick reply @Techman, but how exactly would this work with the ISY994i? With the antenna on the sensor, would this somehow connect to my WiFi and the ISY sees it there?
