I looks like you may have "Factory Reset" your KPL (erased the link table) and then performed a query. If that is the case, the device is responding with errors and NAK's (negative acknowledges) because it is an I2CS device and is not longer linked to your PLM. I factory reset one of my Test KPL's and got a very similar response. One curious difference is that my ISY994 is using the I2CS protocol to talk to the device. Your log does not show the "CS" (using I2 protocol). That may be a simple difference in presentation (not sure what system you are using). Normally this would be rectified by simply "restoring" the device from the admin console.

@Merlin - Thanks for the response. Another device to investigate - oh well. I am curious how you are powering the devices (and hiding wires) in your installation. Would you mind describing or providing a photo of your wired device? Thanks, IM

I agree that the ISY cannot directly address a KPL secondary button. In order to control a secondary button, it needs to be included in a scene. I am curious why the ISY isn't creating a "scene" for Insteon devices and an "association" for Zwave devices. Either way, it should be an easy thing to determine from the event viewer when the scene is activated by the Z-wave controller. Scene Activation - The 00.00.XX device address is indicative of a Scene. The "CF" flags also specifies a scene command but I am to lazy to decode this AM.

I do not currently have a Zwave/ISY installation to test. But I am very curious for future installations. One last comment - I do remember a @lilyoyo post from years ago indicating that Zwave controllers should be added to a scene 1st. I had always abided by that when I had my mixed system. Have no idea if it still applies. IM

@djones1415, I apologize if my response implied in any way that you required this type of response. Being an Engineer (and working with Engineers) for 40+ years, pictures and screen captures are my go to. My friends and family would attest that I am uniquely qualified to provide idiotic responses. Glad it helped. In retrospect, Lou's (Apostolakisi) response was exactly correct. Had I seen it, I would not have replied. Geddy's response was "most" correct - pointing to existing Wiki documentation rather than re-inventing the wheel. I need to remember that. IM

Device replacement steps - This only works with similar device types (dimmer to dimmer/switch to switch) 1) Factory reset your new switch. This removes potentially unwanted settings from the new device (X10 addresses, etc). Manual : 2466 Toggleinc 2) Link the new switch and use the "Remove Existing Links" option. There should not be any links after resetting, but... (belt and suspenders). Name the device something similar to your old device - add a "#" or a "new" to discriminate between them. 3) Right click on the "old" device that you want to replace. It should now show the recently added device as an option for replacement. IF IT DOES NOT your old device is in a sub-folder or a different device type. If in a sub folder, move to the root folder. Device in sub folder will not show replace option After moving to the Root folder: replace is now an option 4) After performing the "replace with" you will be prompted to re-boot the ISY. Following the re-boot, the new switch should be in place and all of your programs and scenes should be updated. 5) Re-name the new device if you wish. All the programs and scenes will be updates.

Hi @Merlin, Unfortunately, I can't help with inclusion issues as I don't have the Eisy. I do have a number of the ZSE44's and am happy with them in general. They do have a lot of "nodes" as you refer to them. On my ISY994, I believe I was able to "group" nodes by right clicking on the main node (1) and selecting "group devices". This would move the secondary nodes under the main node in the device tree (make them less obvious). As I indicated, I have a number of the ZSE44's. I am happy with them except for my "outdoor" devices that consume batteries. The issue here is that I have devices outside the house that go through wide temperature swings this time of year (40" degrees). This drains a lot of battery. Devices in the house run ~1 year on a CR2450. Outside, less than 1/3 during spring/fall. I am posting because I am interested in the Aeotec Mutisensor 7's that you have coming. Then have an advertised life of 3+ years. The are similar to my Zooz ZSE40's that I have been happy with (motion, temp, humidity), but have a much better advertised battery life. Please do report back how you like the Aeotec devices. If you have further questions on the Zooz ZSE44's, I'll help where I can. IM

Wow, after reading @Geddy's post I logged into the admin console to re-checked my Scheduled execution times (no changes). They are back to being correct down to the tenth of a second. Wild and wondrous - I guess that's why they call it software.

Hey @paulbates, Let me start by saying that I have the ISY994. I have two programs that run nightly at sunset, and 30 minutes past sunset. When I looked at the program summary tab, both programs were set to run @EXACTLY sunset and 30 minute past. My sunset is at 5:36:10 (I'm a little West of you). Since my programs are slightly different from your Time = Sunset, I decided to add a test case. That's when things got weird. After saving my test program, ALL of my sunset programs showed a "Next Scheduled Run" time that was 4 minutes, 4 seconds early. I expected 5:36:10 PM (sunset) for my sunset programs, but got 5:32:06. I expected 6:06:10 PM for my night program (sunset + 30 min), but got 6:02:06 PM. All that I can think of is that the next run is "predicted" when you save the program. It is then "refined" after the program executes (or perhaps at the end of the day). Definitely not the result I was expecting and in line with what you are seeing. Original Sunset Program: Fires @5:36:10 Outside Sunset - [ID 0015][Parent 0002] If From Sunset For 1 minute Then Set 'Outdoor / SC Outside Sunset' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Original Night Program: Fires at 6:06:10 Outside Night - [ID 0016][Parent 0002] If From Sunset + 30 minutes To Sunrise + 5 minutes (next day) Then Set 'Outdoor / SC Ouside Night' On Else Set 'Outdoor / SC Ouside Night' Off New Test Program: Fires at 5:32:06 Outside Sunset1 - [ID 0011][Parent 0002] If Time is Sunset Then - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

@madmartian There is a discussion of SIS and SUC Z-wave controllers over here: https://www.vesternet.com/en-us/pages/your-guide-to-a-user-friendly-stable-z-wave-network What I gather from this is that the SIS controller is the "repository" of all device node information in the Z-wave network. If you had other controllers in the network, they would be unable to operate after you reset the SIS. This is my first exposure to the SIS concept. Since you are resetting your entire network (all devices and dongle), I don't believe there is an issue. Curious if anyone has a different take...

Hey Andy, Given that you apparently have an Insteon door Open/Close sensor (there I go ASSuming again), I would tend to agree that this appears to be a Eisy issue. If you could perhaps post some "level 3 event viewer" traces, with manual Vs door operated triggers, someone with a Eisy could chime in on the issue. Not much, but the best I can offer for now.

Edit: after re-reading your code, the "Switched on" control action in the If clause should prevent multiple triggers. Unless the door is cycling open - closed - open, etc. I'll leave the original post below. It's something to try for troubleshooting purposes. I have used the "Beep" calls with the ISY994 for years with no issue. I don't have a Eisy to test... Just guessing here... Since things work when you trigger the programs manually, it seems that the alarm system integration may be the issue (ELK?). One of the differences in the Eisy is the use of a node sever for the Elk integration. The ISY994 used a "built in" integration. You may be getting multiple triggers or other timing issues when your door opens. You could try locking the program out using a variable or by testing that the program isn't already running. Waits could also be used to make things easier to test. Something along the lines of: If 'Lwr Ground Floor / Backdoor-Opened' is switched On and $Status.ProgramBeep is not $Status.Running Then $Status.ProgramBeep = $Status.Running Wait 1 second Run Program 'Beep' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') BEEP ProGRAM If Then Beep Beep Beep $Status.ProgramBeep = $Status.Idle Else - No Actions

The following is what I use for polling my outdoor lights. The If statement you are looking for is "Time is Last Run Time for {program name} + 30 minutes". You will also need to make sure that "run at startup" is checked in the program "summary tab" Outside Daytime Poll - [ID 0030][Parent 0002][Run At Startup] If From Sunrise + 30 minutes To Sunset - 10 minutes (same day) And Time is Last Run Time for 'Outside Daytime Poll' + 20 minutes Then Set 'Outdoor / SC Ouside Night' Query Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

UltraLoq U-Bolt Pro. I installed a WiFi set at my daughters house and Z-Wave in mine. We both love them. The locks are 700 series and paired to my Zooz 700 series Z-Stick from their remote locations (75+ feet). I was impressed.

I was using a very similar setup (BE469/300 Series/ISY994) that worked reasonably well. I upgraded to the 500 series dongle on the ISY and things went downhill. Tried a 700 series Z-Stick on Home Assistant and it failed miserably. Upgraded the locks and everything worked. The 300 series BE469 is marginal at best on send and receive. If you happen to have a steel entry door, you are already at a disadvantage. I hope Techman's suggestions work, but in my experience, you are fighting a loosing battle with that lock. If your lock responds to commands from the Eisy, I would eliminate the "If - Status Z-Wave/Lock - Front Door is unlocked" qualifier. You will be triggering when the Elk indicates the door status changes to "closed". You will not detect a local lock/unlock. Not optimal, but you will have some functionality.

Hello Geddy, You are correct that I was referring to the "new" Pop-up "Not Found" bug. What is confusing to me is that the bug crept in with no changes on my end. IoX launcher is from 5/20/23. ISY994 is the latest (last) V5.7.4 (Firmware and UI dated 7/7/21). At the moment I view this as yet another nail in the ISY994 coffin. I plan to keep using it until it gives up on me.

I'm wondering if we aren't over complicating this. My IoX finder routinely "forgets" my ISY address. I either add the address manually or load from a saved file. As you mentioned, the IoX finder recently began giving me "not found" errors. However, I can still manually enter the IP address for the ISY and connect to the admin console. I'm ignoring the "not found" errors for now. Try the following: https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/39489-iox-finder-not-found/?do=findComment&comment=354467

Thank you for the link to the backup routine. That looks very useful. I have been using the Sandisk A1 microSD cards in my cameras and Pi since 2019. Very good experience with them. I've been out of the industry since 2019, but it's hard to believe that things haven't improved in that time... I did check my ISY994 card - it's a run of the mill Sandisk (reputable name) with no speed/endurance markings. It is the original card. Sorry for taking the thread sideways...

@MrBill, your experience is very different than mine. I've never had a SDcard issue. I have had multiple power supply failures over the years. Your comment on the node servers is interesting. I have not used them and did not realize that they exercised the SDcard to that extent. I did opt for a high endurance SDcard for my Home Assistant installation on the Raspberry Pi 4. I knew I would be logging temperature data and exercising the card. If what you are saying is true, the calculus for the memory card may have indeed changed. Should we be putting out a general recommendation to the ISY community to upgrade their cards to High Endurance versions? High endurance cards for ISY are moderately priced. This could be cheap insurance for the ISY.

@bw23198, as @hart2hart indicated, you likely have a corrupted file system on your SDcard. The "bad areas" likely existed prior to you restoring your backup. Now when you try to perform a backup the ISY cannot read the file structure. Option 1 - While SDcards can go bad, it's somewhat rare. Normally it's a power event while the card is being written to that causes corruption. The failure rate of your power supply is far higher than the SDcard. If you have seen "other problems" (reboots, warning lights, etc) check your power supply. Spec's are on the Wiki. There's also a thread here: Option 2 - card contact issue Remove the card/clean the contacts/re-install several times to see if it is a contact issue. Re-install your backup Re-try backing up the system to see if you have file errors. Option 3 - bad card (cards are pretty inexpensive). @MrBillhas a rather nice post on upgrading the MicroSDcard here: Best of luck - let us know what you find.

Nice -glad it worked. The UD folks are good at coming up with magic. That's why we all here.

Hey Jeff, The most recent table is "better". The first link @address 0FF8 shows that your device is a responder(A2) to group 0 device 70.1A.5A - your PLM I presume. What I don't see is a corresponding link where your device is listed as a Controller to the PLM. This would be 0XXX: E2 XX 70.1A.5A. What you have in the table is a HALF link. The PLM can control your device, but the device can't issue control events back. Again, you can probably rectify this by deleting/resetting/relinking your device. If you have many devices that fall into this category, a ticket might still be a wise course of action.

Ok, so I looked a little more. I'm thinking something is hosed with your link tables. Normally the first entries are links back to your PLM. The link table below is for my "all-on" detector. It's only linked to my PLM @53.BC.3A. Your device appears to be linked to address 00.00.00 - Not Good. If this were just 1 device, I would suggest deleting/reset/relink for this device. If your entire system has this issue (you can look at the tables for a number of devices) I would again suggest opening a ticket.

Hi Jeff, Your event viewer above has a "Link for responder... not found" entry that I have never seen before. Basically, you executed a Scene (00.00.28) and requested status (something the ISY normally doesn't do for scenes). The Eisy did not expect to see the responder @1C.47.5E. Something appears to be out of synch between your Eisy/PLM/devices. You have a device that believes it's part of scene 00.00.28 but the Eisy doesn't know about it. I don't have the Eisy, but would guess that something went wrong during the migration. The fact that you do not see Control triggers in the event viewer is also indicative of missing links in the PLM/Eisy. I can't help much past that. Unless someone else has experienced this, it may be time to open a ticket...

Don't know the answer to current offering from Insteon. Loosing two accesspoints is definitely telling. I still don't understand why your 2477D's aren't communicating across the phases. Is it possible that you had an electrical event that took out multiple devices? If you have "damaged" insteon devices hanging on the powerline they might not properly repeat the signal (rf or powerline) and could instead appear to be signal absorbers.

Actually, half red/ half green is ideal. You are communicating across both phases with the range extender in that location. Is that the location where your failed AccessPoint was? Do you see any correlation between Red flashing or Green Flashing devices with devices that you can't restore? If all of your problem devices are on one phase that would give us a direction to pursue. You could remove your range extender and run the 4-tap test on your PLM. If devices in your garage don't flash (or only flash red or green) it would be another indication that your PLM signal isn't making it there.
