Yes, thank you. The lights dimmed when the Bond controller was connected.

Funny, I'm a terrible speller but improper spellings just jump out to me. In this case it is on their new "FanLinc" also not identified as such on the controller. Anyway, I think that my issue may be that the fan that I'm dealing with was originally controlled by a Bond Device. There are no physical pull chains for the lights or fan. Insteon says when I link the switch with the FThe wiring from both the Bond and Insteon controllers are the same and the motor controls all work just fine. Just the light has been the issue only responding to Fast On commands. I was worried that I might have had an issue with the neutral line but it does not appear to be the case as all the motor controls are responding as expected. Thinking that there might be something inside the fan that interfaced to the Bond Controller (of course replaced by Insteon Controller) I decided to create a simple work around. Instead of double clicking the on and off buttons, I opted to just write a couple of programs to translate the 6 button single press on or off buttons to send Fast On and Fast Off commands to the fan. Seems to work just fine so far, just a short bit longer to respond. If polygot on my Polisy worked I would have gone down that path, but since Polygot does not work on my system even though I have the Zoos USB interface, I decided to stay 100% Insteon. When I decide to replace the Polisy with the Eisy or get my current Polisy working, then I might start looking into adding different smart devices.

Odd Issue: I Just picked up the Insteon Ceiling or as Insteon spells it "Celing" Module 2475FC. Everything seems to work well except to control the lights on the fan I need to use the "Fast" on or "Fast" Off command in PoIisy or quickly double tap the On and Off buttons (Fast On/Off) on the wall switch to control the lights. As you can see from my screen shot. All switches are in separate scenes. The fan light is in a scene as are all of the fan motor controls. So I must have missed something somewhere. Thanks for guidance. Bob

Yes they are. Missed putting that info in my help request. I will try the unplug idea. Thanks

I have migrated from my old ISY and System appears to be working fine. Polisy (5200) reports Version: 5.4.0 - OpenADR (21010) - Networking Module (21040) - Z-Wave Module (21100) - A10/x10 Module (21060) ISY Portal info: (says it's not online???) That's another separate question. UD Mobile is also working. License Active: Yes License Expiry Date: 2023-04-01 Says Version 5.5.4 is now available! Under the Help Menu, I selected "Automatically Upgrade to XXX to 5.5.4. Tried that, nothing happens. Could not find a manual update option. When I was looking around I found the July 2022 update announcement: To update/upgrade your Polisy, please only use the Admin Console to the ISY on Polisy (IoP). "Current suggested method for updating: ISY Launcher to open the ISY Finder window. Once logged in navigate to: Configuration tab System Then click: “Upgrade Packages” Problem is I don't have an "Update Packages" button. I also don't have a pull down menu from the System tab "Polisy Systems Settings" So, I'm obviously have missed something along the way. Any help is much appreciated. Bob

Thanks, Looks like "Control" vs "Status" was the key.

Help and advice appreciated. I made two separate scenes (day and night) that include a couple of lights controlled by a keypad link (Lower Hall) and (upper and lower hall, ToggleLinc switches, an inline dimmer, an outlet dimmer and motion sensors on two floors of a stairway. I would like to trigger the lights to go on when either sensor is triggered on, wait a couple of minutes then turn them off. The programs I have tried are giving me some strange results, Questions: Do I include both sensors in the scenes? Would it be good to stop the program after the "wait" Please get back to me if more info is needed Thanks in advance Screen Shot.pdf

Thank You Mister Bill. Great Hint. For Mac Folks-- I did not know that my System was Unzipping the files automatically. To not allow unzipping files do the following: If you would rather Safari just download the .zip file and leave if for you to decide what to do: Open Safari Click Preferences (Safari Preferences - Not System Preferences) Under the General tab, uncheck the option Open “safe” files after downloading

Thanks for the feedback Geddy. The great hint you provided was that the update file needs to remain zipped. I did not realize that my OS system was unzipping zipped files automatically. I discovered how to download files and keep them zipped on my computer. Now that issue is beyond me I will attempt to setup ISY on Polisy. Thanks for the Mac Links

Hello All, I could really use some help to update my ISY so I can use my new Polisy. I'm lost in the weeds. This is what I have tried: Hardware: Mac OS Monterey Version 12.1 Process: 1. Downloaded firmware 5 Opened Administrative Console (ISY994i (4.9.0) Selected "Help" Selected "Manually Update" Went to the Folder that was downloaded and looked for a file that was able to be opened. Found Insteon.img. Tried to open that and received an error message: Update Failed :java.util.ZipException: error opening zip file I guess I went off the tracks somewhere.
