Hope somebody can help me. So earlier I articulated my issues with an aeotec temp and humidity sensor. I then tried to add a Z Wave smoke/CO detector, which seemed to add OK but then threw errors, so I deleted it. I reset the Z wave dongle/board (its a board not a dongle even though the software says dongle?), was that a mistake? Now when I try to add either device I get no messages at all it just hangs saying trying to add device. I think my board is version 500, how can I be sure? My ISY software is 5.3.0 The Z wave info says 6.82.1 for version. Any advice ? Thanks.

Here is the level 3 log if it helps. ISY-Events-Log.v5.3.0__Wed 2023.01.04 09.20.18 AM.txt

Also get an error message as follows when attempting to add:

Here are details Model is ZWA039 ( I think it supports S2 security, is this an issue?) My isy returns the following for Z Wave version: Static controller and Z wave version 6.82.01. I believe this shows my Z wave board is version 500? Correct? If not how can I tell which board I have? I cant see the order anymore bought it was bought in 2019. Z Wave Information shows the following: Any help greatly appreciated.

thanks, I feel like a dumb dumb!

So I setup an email notification and in the body section I wrote this per a tutorial I have been following: Leak Detector Problem Detected on $(sys.date) at $(sys.time12) The issue is when the email is received in just says what I wrote in the body, i.e. it does not populate the date and time? Any thoughts on why this is not working? Also what does the "12" mean in the time? Does it mean use 12 hour clock format? Thanks for any help.

mr bill I have the 2852-222 v.44 I assume this is the earliest version? Though I only bought them a year or so ago. Again a simple remove the battery and reinstall clearly resets them. Bets Regards.

For others moving forward I have found the best solution is to remove the battery for 10 seconds and then reinserting it, this resets dry to on and wet to off. the entire press the reset button thing is totally flaky.

Another update: I hit options and it now shows the exclamation marks again and says failed to communicate! I am obviously doing something stupid but cant figure it out.

Techman, I tried that and it did not work? Is it the slow blink or hold for the long blink? So I eventually deleted and relinked the sensor, which was OK except the status showed nothing for all 3 entries? But I went ahead and tried it and it worked again, sent me an email and I get the siren to work (very pleased with myself!) so I took it out of the water and dried it but now the dry entry shows off and the wet shows on. Which obviously is the wrong way around. I tried doing the button thing with a write and it did nothing. Any suggestions how to reset? Don't want to have to delete and redo the programs every time I delete the sensor and reinstall. Thanks.

Spoke to soon, I know have red exclamation marks next to the three leak sensor entries? How do I reset? It said after leak to reset the sensor so I pushed the button.? If I click the diagnostics for the device and select ISY link table it does return a box with data? Also what does the PLM communication option do? Just returns three entries with 1 retry? I assumed it would show if the devices were connected?

Thanks bdwarner5. Amazingly I got it to work. Only one issue, but as I said it seems to work, is with this program: For the life of me I could not get the line Resource "Leak Detected" to work. I dont see the resource option ? so mine looks like this: But as I said all seems to work, which I find odd but i cant figure out what the line would do anyway? Next is to try and get Alexa to notify of a leak and get my Insteon sirens working. I am sure I will be posting on these topics in the coming days! Once again thank you very much.

Thank you, certainly a learning curve.

So a little background. I have used isy for about 7 years with no issues. But all I have added is outlets and some fan controls. After we had a leak my wife says cant you use that "ISY" thing to do something if a toilet overflows again? So I buy 5 Insteon leak sensors and a couple of Insteon sirens. So the last few days I have been trying to at least get one of the sensors up and running ( the sirens is for another day!) So I have tried following this tutorial: https://www.termpro.com/asp/pubs.asp?ID=443 I have setup the variable and the email (which works) but I am struggling with the programs section. On the instructions for the first program it looks like this: So firstly I have realized you can simply type code in to the program content window but you must you use the add to program dialog (I am correct in this right?). So first thing I run in to is the first line of code. I selected Condition; it defaults to And, which I don't understand?, secondly though I have control selected it does not show control when I select add to "if" It shows this: As you can see it does not say control before the sensor info. What am I missing? Second issue is regarding nested Parenthesis. I cant figure that out at all! do you have to use the move lines up or down? I am very new to the programming and any help is gratefully received. Thanks.
