@MrBillI am blind. It is right there! Thanks!

@larryllixThe other day I right clicked on a device on the main tab, by accident and I saw "find/replace". I figured I would come back to it later and check it out. Well, It is not there anymore. I can't find "find/replace" anywhere. Does the device have to be in a failed state?

@lilyoyo1@hart2hart@MrBill Thanks for the info. May put this off till next week!

I am thinking of migrating my 994 to IoP this week. Instructions look straight forward. I am probably 95% Insteon. I have a serial PLM on the 994 and a USB PLM in the closet. Question is should I just use the USB PLM on the Polisy for the migration? Or would I be better off transferring the Serial PLM from the 994 to Polisy? I would have to build a serial to RJ45 cable. I am thinking it would be safer to use the USB PLM. What about all the links stored in the PLM?

@bpwwer That being said I reinstalled Ping Node Serverin slot 1 of PG3 (it would not allow me to install in slot 3; for obvious reason) and rebooted PG3. Hubitat disappeared. I deleted Ping and now have a clean slate on PG3. I switched over to PG2 and Ping was orphaned. I rebooted PG2 and PG2 is now clear. Thanks I was dreading to do a factory reset on Polisy. It is always nice to fix things correctly.

@MrBill No, the ISY994 still up and running just fine. I wanted to learn how to use node servers before I blew up a production device. Looks like I took out the Polisy learning. I have the node servers removed from both the IoP and ISY944. The node server lists are clean. I have uninstalled all the node servers from PG2 and PG3. PG2 shows I am clean on both the ISY and IoP (I have to toggle the IP's and ports back and forth). PG3 shows I have the Habitat stuck on IoP. PG3 shows ISY994 is clean (I toggle at the top drop down). Since Habitat only runs on PG2, I reinstalled it in slot 3 on the IoP, verified it was installed and deleted it again. It is still stuck. @GeddyHabitat used to work correctly and look like your Hue until something got crossed. Anyway to clean out PG3? Worst case I could reload the Polisy.

@GeddyI did manage to get the Polisy PG2 to point to my ISY. Seems it was a port issue. Now however I am getting some really weird stuff happening. Like on the Habitat node server, I can tell Alexa to turn on/off a Habitat light and the light comes on/off and ISY shows it on. In ISY I can turn the same light on/off, the light goes on/off but ISY does't show it on. The light in ISY is also displayed as a 1/2 domino (square w/ 6 dots) and not a light. Then the Harmony app went to heck too. So I am going to unload all the nodes from the IoP, ISY, PG2 and PG3 and start over focusing on loading the ISY. If I can get this to work; why migrate to IoP?

@GeddyNow that I kinda have this figured out, is there a way I can move PG2 from my IoP to ISY? I have changed the address and port to the ISY, but in the log it is still looking at the IoP. Even after a power on reset.

@GeddyEvery time I go to Poliglot v2 and click dashboard, I would get a error. The error said "automatically found ISY at x.x.x.x:80. Please use set menu to set the password" or something like that. Well I set the password to the default and IoP; neither worked. I changed the port from 80 to 8080 and it is working. I can put nodes on IoP with V2. V2 does not seem as flexible as V3. Can't toggle between the 2 devices like V3. I tried briefly to load a node sever of ISY944 by changing the IP and port. Didn't work. May need to power cycle the Polisy. I will try later. I am probably pushing my luck.

@GeddyI have been over that Update ISY screen for 3 days. I deleted and re-added devices a few times this morning. I tried different ports. Finally ended up back on 8080. It is working now. It is working on both IoP and ISY944. Now for Polyglot V2. I guess that will be my next topic. Give a monkey enough time an he will type something logical! Thank you!

@GeddyI never looked for the Node Servers in the Portal either. They are there. I am trying to get it in the Admin Console. I did this once before with an ISY994 and I did not have this much trouble. In Admin Console on IoP, nothing but 100 empty slots.

I finally installed a fresh image on Polisy, updated the packages, and have it working through the portal. I am not doing a migration at this time, that is until I feel comfortable. My problem at the moment is I can't seem to populate the Node Servers. I picked an easy one, Ping. I added Google 8.8.8.8 started the service. I put it in slot 1. Service says started in the Polyglot V3 dashboard. The portal show it loaded. I have a green dot. Select Tools, Connectivity, Node Servers, show it loaded to the correct device. I have rebooted Polyglot and IOP. Pulled the plug. Seems to me it should just show up in IoP. It doesn't. I must be missing something .

Thanks @MrBill, I started a ticket yesterday. Michel has started.

Well I did get it to reset. Now I can't find it on the network. Let me check your attachment from February and try somethings.

Okay, so I finally got a Polisy. Since it is used, I figured first things first. It needs a factory reset and software version check. I tried following the reset procedure in Wiki. Hold the little button in till all 3 LEDs flash. Well I held it in for a minute. I should have had 1 blinking, followed by 2 blinking and finally all blinking. No LED ever blinked. I can feel the button depress. I can get into the device and see that it is half erased, the same as when I received it. All the modules are gone, but the programs remain in damaged form as the modules are all gone. Isy is 5.4.4.I can get into Polyglot 2 and 3. Now, how do I check for Polisy version 13? I have read through here and have not come up with much. I can SSH, but still not find the version.

Sorry it has taken me 2 months to get back on this. We all work from home and testing alarms is a real sore point. Not to mention the dogs and cats. I am the only person to get out of the house alone, well besides the dog. Okay, I have not changed anything. Today I took out my can of smoke and sprayed around the detector and everything worked as planned. I received emails and the lights came on. I also recorded a True in the log instead of a False. I can tell it ended True by the half green icon. 30 minutes later looking at the smoke detector in the Main tab it showed the Smoke Bridge Smoke "on" long after the program ended. Hum. I can't reset that; unless I close and reopen the admin console. Which leads to validate @randyth saying he doesn't use the query to clear it. @MrBilland @randyth are both using "status on", so am I, so I am not going to mess with "switched on". I have tried this 4 times. with closing and not closing the admin console to clear the Smoke on condition. Every test was successful. @TechmanThe smoke bridge is connected to both the Hub and ISY. Yes, I know. 90% of my stuff is off the Hub.It took me 4 or 5 hours to connect the the Smoke Bridge to First Alerts. I was hoping to take the last items off the Hub and remove the links from the hub when they turned the Hub back on. That was wishful thinking. You might hold the only explanation as to why my program originally did run when smoke was detected, but returned a false value instead of true.

I went through this a while back and thought I had it resolved. Not. I have a Smoke Bridge, Insteon Hub (more or less decommissioned but still on line, most everything has been removed from it) and the ISY994i. So the other day the wife is cooking and sets off the smoke detector. This in turn is picked up by the Insteon Hub and ISY. Insteon Hub sends me a smoke detected message. It did not dawn on me at the moment but ISY did not send a message. ISY also picked up a CO2 alert too. I think this is false, but still. ISY should have sent me a CO2 message too. I reviewed the log and saw this... ISY says they are false conditions, but yet it picked up the alerts. The time is correct. So I must be missing something as the condition was not true. Smoke Detector Smoke Detected - [ID 0065][Parent 0001] If 'Bedroom / Smoke Bridge-Smoke' Status is On Then Send Notification to 'Chris email' content 'Smoke Detector Smoke Detected' Wait 2 seconds Set 'Bedroom / Bedroom Ceiling-Light' On Wait 2 seconds Set 'Bedroom / Bedroom Nightstand' On Wait 2 seconds Set 'Living Room / Living Room Right' On Wait 2 seconds Set 'Kitchen Area / Kitchen Light' On Wait 5 minutes Set 'Bedroom / Smoke Bridge-Smoke' Query Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I guess I could put my "Then"s on the "Else" side; but that would be sloppy. Note: The Query as the last line seems to unlatch the Smoke Bridge from the ISY. It seems that the Smoke Bridge does not send an all clear or ISY is not looking for one; not sure witch. ISY will remain in a tripped state while the Smoke Bridge is back to normal. The Query forces ISY to update itself.

@MrBillThanks again! So I guess a simple use of your "if ", then Query and Write. It would hammer away at it until true. After that if would stop and wait for the next false. tabetop Box 1 reset - [ID 00AC][Parent 0001] If 'Bedroom / Tabletop Box.1' Responding is False Then Set 'Bedroom / Tabletop Box.1' Query Set 'Bedroom / Tabletop Box.1' Write Changes Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I get theses messages from time to time about various devices. However the command is usually successfully completed. I guess just a slow communication or something. Anyway to turn these off? On another note I have a KeyPadLink Dimmer that constantly has comm issues. It is located inches from 2 Dual Band light switches. 2 feet from a dual band lamp module and 10 feet from another dual band dimming wall switch. I found if I Query and Write to it every hour I can force it to update. The problem is, I could create a comm issue doing this when it might be actually fine at the moment. Is there a way to see if the KeyPadLink is offline with the red ! before I hit it with a Query and Write before I force an update?

@MrBill; yes, so obvious I did not think about it! I rarely use that "Run at Startup". Thanks!

I am looking to create an "if" statement that runs 24/7. I have many programs that count things at various intervals 24/7. Currently I am doing a "if" time between 00:01 AM and 23:59 PM. This works fine but seems seems a bit over the top. Just trying to clean things up a bit. Example: Set Temperature Variable - [ID 0069][Parent 0001] If From 12:00:00AM To 11:59:00PM (same day) Then Repeat Every 10 minutes $sFIB.Temp = 'Guest Bedroom / ZW 002 Multilevel Sensor 1' Temperature °C $sFIB.Temp *= 1.8 $sFIB.Temp += 32 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Got it, thanks. I thought there was some magic pill in ISY I could use to factory reset a device. I had 3 or 4 wall switches mysteriously go goofy a year ago or more. For 2 months I had to do a factory reset on them constantly. I called Insteon and was told my switches were old. I ordered new switches and before I installed them the problem mysteriously went away. I did not realize that Scenes actually created device to device links. Never thought about it that way. I guess deleted a scene will erase the link?

@GeddySorry for the confusion. My question was about infromation contained in reading the post, not about the post. @larryllixlooks like I through you off too. Based on @larryllix reading your reply to a post.... Your reply is the first one. I can only find this post throught Google. My question is how can you factory reset a device in ISY? You say you can. How? I know ther is a procedure in the manual. I always do it by the procedure in the manual. My other question was how can you link responder and a controller (MS to a lamp) inside of ISY? You mention Admin Console link setup. You say slightly more advanced. Where is this as I can't find it. Sorry for the confusion.

@larryllix writes - always, always, always factory reset every Insteon device before using with ISY. They can do really weird stuff. This can be done easily after, if already linked to ISY. How do you do this if the device is already linked? I always reset manually. I did not know another way. Restore Device to blow away the unused links? @larryllix also writes - link MS to the lamp, via Admin Console link setup. (this is slightly more advanced and can be done later to speed up lamp response speed) How would you go about linking devices through the console? Admin Console link setup? I have always done this manually by going from one device to the other. Maybe these options don't exist anymore?

@MrBill I would like to see more information on the newtork resources. Thanks for the tip on Pushover.
