Paulbates suggestion worked, after factory reset and restore the Leak Sensor started registering heartbeat again. Thanks for the info and suggestion of the YoLink, I will look into it. Thanks, Geddy for the further info. I did some brief reading and if I understand correctly Home Assistant seems to be the way many people are moving for home automation. I see that HA can integrate in with the ISY or newer UD systems as well as a host of others. I assume that's the idea, one ring to rule them all...? Seems like HA should be the next step I should take and I can keep my ISY if or until I decide to decommission it and it's devices and move to something else. If I have the wrong idea on things please correct me. Thanks again for all who helped. -Tom

Ok, I factory reset the device, put it in linking mode and did Restore Device. I also rebooted the ISY for the fun of it. Now the programs for this misbehaving leak sensor are also showing "Running Then" and a Next Scheduled Run time as well. So hopefully it is back in sync. Thanks for your help, -Tom

I suspect you are saying I should do a factory reset on the device first (remove battery, hold set button, install battery) and THEN "restore device"? Also, I noticed in the Program Summary that my other working leak sensors show "Running Then" in the Activity field for the Variable Control 2 program and have a Next Scheduled Run set for tomorrow for the Variable Control 3 program, whereas this (not working) sensor doesn't show "Running Then" or have a Next Scheduled Run time set... -Tom

Thanks. I just did restore device (before I read your message) just for kicks. Is factory reset different or the same as Restore Device? -Tom

I have a 2852-222 leak sensor that has been working for many years. I replaced the battery a couple months ago with a Lithium AA battery. A week ago it missed heartbeats for a couple days. I went and checked, and the battery is good. I put it back in it's place figuring removing the battery would reset any issue. It didn't, still missing heartbeat every day. I went and got it today to test it. When I view it in the ISY it shows Wet Off/Dry On as it should, and Heartbeat is On. If I set it on a wet paper towel it shows Wet On/Dry Off. So it appears to be working. Is there a way to test the heartbeat? I was planning to leave it upstairs with me for a day or two and see it resolves, but not sure why it is suddenly missing hearbeat...? Also, I have wondered for a while, what are people using for Leak Sensors these days? Should I be looking for a different solution, wifi ones, or what? I don't have a ton of Insteon devices but I have enough that I should be thinking of a migration strategy to something that is supported, but havent been following the state of the art in home automation for quite a few years now... Any advice is appreciated. -Tom

That was it! I clicked the Save Changes button in the Program Details tab and they all saved and all seem to be back to normal. Many thanks for your help. -Tom

Yes, I noticed that "not saved" in the status field but didn't know what it meant. I didn't see anything in the update instructions on re-saving anything. Or I missed that if it was in there.. Definitely (100% sure) the UI and firmware are the same version. There is no yellow in the summary. I checked for that immediately after the update while disabling a few programs that got re-enabled in the update. -Tom PS: I guess the last part of this instruction could be interpreted as re-save: "Please ensure your device nodes and programs are correct; in some cases you may need to update them."

I did clear the cache after the update and did verify UI and firmware match. I will try your suggestion of saving each program again this eve. Thanks, -Tom

Yes, I see that it is now that I checked my Programs! These programs are enabled so not sure why they aren't working...

Im having some strange SwitchLinc behaviors after my update to 5.3.4. I have 2 SwitchLincs (call them east and west) that operates my entry lights. A physical single tap on either one turns on/of the lights (this is working). A double tap on the west one turned on/off my driveway lights before the update, now not working. Not sure if double-tap ever worked on the east one as I wouldn't normally do it from that location. But in any case that isn't working there either if it did. Also, when I go into the admin onsole and use software to control the switches, east works to turn on/off entry lights. But west goes on (I hear relay and leds indicate on) but the lights don't actually come on, and the east switch leds don't change state (which they use to do to indicate on). At first I thought it was just this one set of switches, but I also have one in my lower level that double tap would turn on lights in an outbuilding. That too seems to not be working. Is there a way in the ISY to tell if this behavior is programmed? Or to re-program it? I think I programmed these switches manually when I installed them so many years ago, but I would not sear to that, too long ago. Oh, and I ran Restore Devices in the console, but that didn't help the situation. -Tom

Ok, thanks to both of you. I don't really need more than one user, just habit. I must have changed the admin user name to one of my own last time. -Tom

Geddy, Thanks that was it! One other question. It appears to have removed my userid. Did it always have 9 users you were able to define? I don't recall that before. Also, when I enter my name and set a password, it prompts me if I want to change the password for my new user. I say yes and the prompt goes away. But it doesn't seem to be creating that user. If I go look at user1 again the fields are blank and it doesn't let me log in with the values I just set. I can, of course, get back in with Admin and my newly set admin password... -Tom

I updated to 5.3.4 followig the instructions on the 5.3.4 Current Release thread as well as advice in the thread below. The update seemed to go fine but when I cleared my java cash, follow the link for the new admin console and try to log in it says Failed Retry Authenticating My Lighting. I know I am entering the correct userid and password. What can I do? -Tom

Interesting. I have two versions of the leak sensors: 2852-222 v.41 and 2852-222 v.00 I left all 4 of them in the "wet on" mode after testing and all of them reset themselves back to "dry on" ("wet off") by themselves. I didn't reset them or do anything other than setting them back down on the floor... -Tom

Yes, Insteon leak sensors. Thanks! Out of curiosity, if I leave the mode in the wet position, it will clear itself at some point yes? -Tom
