Something I thought about and wished I could do with Hal2000 for years. It may not be easily possible. I would like the ability to return a device to its previous state. For example: -With a RemoteLinc, I set the Living Room Lamps to 45%. -A motion sensor at the front door detects motion and flashes the Living Room Lamps on and off a couple times -Now I would like the Living Room Lamps to return to their previous state, 45%. Is this currently possible? Could it ever be (easily) possible? I'm thinking of a program somehow taking a snapshot of current state of a device before making a change, so that it could end by reverting that device to its previous state.

FYI - I also get random screen pop ups stating "unable to communicate" with motion sensors on 2.8.10. They go away and I haven't paid much attention to them. I didn't think in regular use the ISY should be trying to communicate with a motion, just receiving.

@tpolito - How is your HAL / ISY setup working?

Hi all, I've been an Insteon user since the beginning, but Santa just brought me an ISY 99i with Dual Band PLM for Christmas, along with a few random Insteon devices. I'm at my dad's house playing with the few parts I have available to get familiar before incorporating into my home network. I'm having issues and haven't found answers in the forums. Ok, to the point... Windows 7 64. Linksys 54G. Last night I set up the ISY/PLM. Connecting to ISY via UD website starts off with "Connected Socket Open Failed SSDPC Client." Hit "OK" and it goes away. I can't find anything on the pc regarding UPnP in the Network area or desktop. Logging in works. I've updated firmware to 2.8.10. I've installed a Dual Band LampLinc, TriggerLinc and MorningLinc (last night) Last night, things were connecting and interacting. Today, no such luck. I can control the LampLinc and Morning Linc from the UD Admin Console. No status' are being returned though. Current state for all devices remains blank. I can't seem to write to the devices either. I've uplugged the PLM waited, and plugged back in. I've rebooted the ISY. The ISY, ISY power supply and PLM are all plugged into an extension cord. Cord not plugged into same duplex as computer, cable modem or any other device. It is plugged into an outlet in the same room though. The cable modem has a backup battery. Cable modem, computer and Linksys 54G are plugged into a surge suppressor. I'm sure I'm missing something easy, but I can't figure it out.
