I checked that out earlier and thought it said he just fixes the power supply. I'll go back and look again. Still have a few burnt out toggle switches I could practice the soldering on.

Got it. Thank you sir!

I don't see a link there.

Having not been on this forum for about a month, here's where I found out about this a couple days ago: https://www.avsforum.com/threads/insteon-smarthome-still-in-business.3242411/ I've been an Insteon fanatic for as long as I can remember. I started playing with this type of technology back in the X10 days. Once I found the ISY/Insteon solution to automating, I went all in. I was looking at the HUB stuff a few years ago and had quite a few posts here asking about it. Finally decided I didn't need or want to go in that direction. For me, it was just overkill. I'm up to about 35 Insteon devices all controlled by my ISY994i. Having been a software developer since the days of mainframes and TTY terminals (with that spool of yellow paper tape on the side), I've had fun programing the ISY. There are only a couple of things I need to control remotely and MobiLinc Pro has served me well. As for having the rug pulled out from all of us without warning, this is the 3rd time in the past year for me. I've had a Livio internet radio for about 10 years and last year, without any warnings, they shut down the Reciva server turning all the Livio radios into door stops. Last month, the lawn service I'd been using for 12 years, didn't show up for the spring cleanup. I called and emailed them about a dozen times as my yard got more and more overgrown, finally getting a response that they no longer do residential lawns. Considering it almost guaranteed we will never see new PLMs again, I guess its time to pull out the two dead PLMs I have kept and fix them. Haven't had a soldering iron in my hand in a very long time, so I'm going to need a lot of practice on other old electronics in my junk pile.

@Michel Kohanim In the thread Will there be a replacement for the Insteon PLM? When you mentioned to "uncheck everything except for Product News & Announcements, and once we have confirmation, we'll notify you." I'm not finding where the PN&A thread/topic is. Could you please be more specific? Thank you

Thanks for the link to the error codes. Changed the password and now I get -5 (SMTP_CONNECT_FAILED). Wondering if I've had too many unsuccessful attempts today. Will try again tomorrow.

Thank you sir. Just read through the Release 5.3.4 Test Build is now available thread and although it was a bit frightening at first, by page 3 I'm feeling better. I'll do the upgrade in the next couple days. I always do it the manual route and haven't had any issues, except the couple times I've forgotten to clear the java cache. I do have the comcast parameters setup correctly except for the SMTP port which was set to 465 as above. Just changed it to 587 and I no longer get the server error when doing a test, but the email is not reaching my Inbox. Is there any way to debug this? I just pulled the latest error log ISY Error Log.v5.3.0__Wed 2021.11.17 03.43.46 PM.txt and the last line in there is this: Wed 2021/11/17 03:34:59 PM System -50001 -16 Is there any way to debug what is happening when I hit the Test button?

Thanks guys for the replies. I have been checking my ISY every couple months looking for updates and I do apply them when available. Here's my current setup: Other than that, I haven't added any new devices or programs since early 2020. @MrBillIf you would please provide your Comcast settings, I would appreciate it. I tried it a few times and can't get it to work. Here's my latest attempt at setting it up and attempting to send a test email:

Yep, 'cause this is the first I've heard of it! ? I actually haven't touched anything on my ISY in years. Please tell me more.

My ISY994i has been using the gmail smtp server to send emails from various programs/notifications. I just realized that I haven't received any emails recently. The last one was on Nov 2. Is anyone else using smtp.gmail.com and having issues? BTW, and sorry for what may be an obvious question, are there any log files on the ISY that would show what's happening?

Thanks @tmorse305. Forgot to come back and post that you were right and I got it fixed pretty quickly. Still wish I knew why this happened.

Just upgraded my ISY994i from 5.0.15 to 5.3. In many of the programs, I'm now seeing code like this: Check Away Folder Copy - [ID 003C][Parent 0001] If Folder 'Away' is True Then $[Var 2.1] = $[Var 1.1] Else $[Var 2.1] = $[Var 1.2] Is there any quick way to figure out which variables I was using in these programs?

Yep, thanks guys, already done. That's one of those things that for years, I had in my mental checklist to do "one day".

Nevermind. The answer was right in front of me. When I rebooted the ISY, it got a new IP from the router. All is well.

I have been using MobiLinc Pro for a few years and decided to give the new MobiLinc X a try. Loaded it on my iPhone and it connected to my ISY. After playing with it for a while, I realized that I don't need or even want all that extra functionality. I deleted the app and will stay with the Pro version. Now when I try to login to the Admin Console, I get the two attached errors. Could MobiLinc X have somehow trashed my configuration? I even rebooted (unplug, wait a minute, plug back in) but still get those same two errors. Any suggestions as to how to get the console working again? Thanks

Apparently, there is no way around the Comcast SSL requirement and there doesn't seem to be a way to specify an SSL connection in the console. Thanks to @Michel Kohanim for pointing me to the Wiki article showing how to configure for gmail in this post: https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/26189-what-smtp-server-are-you-using/?do=findComment&comment=261371

Started another thread in the networking group to see what others are using. I can't even get this to work now with Yahoo or Gmail. Pretty much dead in the water here, at least as far as email notifications go.

Just realized today that I haven't been getting email notifications from my ISY for a while. For the SMTP server, I have been using the same Comcast server for a few years. After doing a little digging, I found that back in mid-March they started requiring SSL connections to send mail. From what I see in the Console (Configuration -> Email/Notifications -> Settings/Groups), our only options are TLS or nothing. Is there a way to use SSL? Is anyone else using Comcast/Xfinity SMTP?

Thanks everyone. Just did the upgrade and it went smoothly. There are a few programs that lost their Disabled status, but that was easy enough to correct. @kclenden: Using the new folder status logic works perfectly!

Ok, understood. Having retired from 35+ years of software development, I'm still a bit skiddish when I see the word "beta". One more question please before I take the jump. In the Prerequisites section, I see this: You must use the 5.0.9 Admin Console or greater to upgrade to this release (5.0.15). Coming from 4.7.3, do I really have to install 5.0.9 before upgrading to .15?

Thanks Guys. Just went hunting for a "stable" version of v5, but all I'm seeing is everything suffixed with (beta). It would seem that the 4.7.3 version I'm running is the most current GA version. What flavor of v5 would you recommend? ZWave is about the only toy I don't use in my system and I sure don't want to lose any of my X10 antiques. Thanks again for your time and responses.

Very cool. Thanks for the effort! That does look to be the perfect solution and is a good reason I should upgrade to v5. I've been putting it off for the old reason "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". I've been on the v4 versions for a long time and haven't seen the need to upgrade. How long have you been on v5? Run into any issues? Does it seem stable? Thanks again for the replies.

Thanks for the quick reply. I had thought of that, or even creating a program not in the folder with the same conditions. My concern there was if I ever change the folder condition, I can guarantee you I'll forget to change the other program! Especially since I hardly ever change any programs once they're up and running.

In my ISY console I have a folder that has two conditions for the folder to be active. So far, so good, its working fine. I'm looking for a way to get a notification via Pushover when that folder becomes active (i.e., those two conditions have been met). Setting up the Pushover notification is not a problem, as I have multiple ones already setup and working fine. The issue is that with folders, you can only add conditions to the IF statement. There doesn't appear to be a way to add any "THEN" logic in that statement. What am I missing here? I've been programming in the console for years, but am completely stumped by this one. No doubt, I'm missing something obvious!!!!?

Thank you sir!
