There is still life in the old Insteon / ISY bird yet. Perhaps not for new builds but there is certainly enough stock flying around both new (Insteon store backup selling a limited range of kit) and used. I am happy hanging off the cliff edge with my fingernails and have accrued enough kit for most eventualities now....so I should be good for quite a few years with the two properties I have the kit installed. By then I'll be too old and burned out to do any anything anyway.

There is a dude on ebay that was offering decent laser etched buttons. I'll see if I can find him.

More of these posts please! I have a box full of dead or flaky KPLs, I may give this a go.

Pretty close. I have a business account which takes a couple of bucks off and I don't include tax as I claim that back.

@larryllix you mean to be fixed? I shipped a box with 6 Insteon units in and put a return label in the box, so yeah about $40 both ways.

Hi Geddy, I had originally bought the cap kits too, as I was planning to try and fix them myself but in the end farmed it out to a pro.

@brian h I still use one in a live environment! Not many devices, and you can detect it is slightly slower, but not a problem in the environment it is in. Over the years I had 2 blow on me, I kept them 'just in case' and those have now been resurrected for $30 each. Can't complain .

May I take this opportunity to plug an Insteon repair service here in Canada. No fix, no fee. If 2413 or 2412 fix the fee is $30CAD. It may even be useful for those in America although I have not discussed American clients. The guys name is Gil. He's fixed up 2x2413S and 2x2412S for me (yes I have some 2412's as backup!). He may even frequent this forum although I have not joined the dots. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-general-electronics/mississauga-peel-region/insteon-repair-service/1629894953

FWIW I didn't have much hope for a new PLM source and have been hoarding the last year or so. I now have a decent amount of pretty much all components I need including 5 spare working PLMs + 4 ISY's (2 sites). I should be good for a long while.

Any more data/links on the PLM Pro pls?

Unfortunately already sold, so still looking!

Thank you!

Um.... Instiwrong ? Sorry. I'll get my coat.

Looking for the new model Z-Wave PLUS Module that fits the ISY994i. Willing to pay a handsome! Ship to Canada.

Update 2: I have 'resolved' the issue by completely deleting and re-adding manually each NR. I can now add new functional NRs. I can only assume there was some corruption somewhere that carried over a backup/restore. Not sure but onwards and upwards...

Update: Tried DHCP, same issue. Router is DECO X60, no DNSMasq.

Hi folks, Fimware / UI 5.3.0 It's been a while since I added a NR. I have a total of 56 of them working fine the last one added maybe six months or so ago. When trying to create a new HTTPS POST NR, I either copy an existing NR or create a new one from scratch, I get a TCP client DNS error with a strange error code: [sfvad vadv] All previously added NR's continue to work flawlessly. I cannot see any issue with the ISY DNS, I've configured both the router IP and Google DNS, same issue. I don't understand why if I copy a working NR, save, then test it fails. Could anyone shed some light? I've restored config to a test ISY unit, same problem. No apparent issues with the SD card. edit: added info

I would start with the basics: Power cycle everything, PC, ISY, router etc. Make sure cabling is good.

It looks like an IP issue to me? If you know the ISY IP address try pinging it.

Thanks Javi, I shall have to fiddle around. The programming I am presently using was gleaned from here I think some time ago from another member.

Hi Javi, Thank you for explaining. Is there a change log that documents changes such as these? Would there be a way in the next release to revert back to also having the user number in the main node? That way it would be an easy path to refresh the programming, as I tested using the child node Access control, but as we can see in the log, the sequence is now different, and my existing programming does not function if I substitute the child node for the main node. This is what I presently have with 4.3.0, which has been working fine for a long time. =================================================================================== Control - [ID 003F][Parent 0042] Folder Conditions for 'Control' If -

Hmm, the Zen32's look nice, I bet they look good with the screwless plates flush with the switch, like the KPL's are advertised. What do folks do about button labeling?

I was weary to revert firmware remotely and have been able to attend site, revert to firmware 5.3.0 and sure enough everything works as before - user number is assigned to door lock node and my programs work correctly. Interestingly there is now no information presented through Access Control Alarm node, it is blank with 5.3.0. So, is this a bug with 5.3.4? Perhaps has the way the ISY communicates with zwave / Schlage locks has been adjusted / upgraded between 5.3.0 and 5.3.4? Not sure. If anyone knows I am keen to learn.

The factory batteries were awful - straight into some led flash lights they went.
