ISY994i setup with typical Insteon Dual Band On/Off Modules, Switch Lincs, and RF band battery powered motion sensor, door switches and leak sensors. Noticed all battery sensors except one door switch no longer communicate. Cannot get any of the previously operating battery sensors to re-link. Get the typical can't determine Insteon engine error. Yes, putting the sensors in link mode by holding the button down for 3 secs and get the flashing light. Have to delete the old references of a sensor to get the 994 to even attempt to link. Yes, attempting to link a sensor within one foot of the PLM. Seems the PLM RF radio is still working one door sensor still communicates. All the dual band end devices continue to work as always. Tried different PLM same result. Don't have a spare 994i. Anyone seen this before? Ready to scrap the 994i and the insteon devices and move on to HA and the newer WIFI mesh based devices. Thanks to all.

Application: Multiple Insteon Leak Sensors Issue: Is there a way to use a single customization for SMS notifications that can include the name or address of the insteon device, where the name or address is a variable? Currently I have individual customizations for each state of each insteon leak sensor. For example, Water Heater #1 device has one customization that has "Water Heater #1 Wet" and is hard coded into the customization. Another for Water Heater #1 Dry. Two more for Water Heater #2, etc. Each program has to call the notification with the specific customization. Would prefer to have a single customization for "Wet" and either the address (xx.xx.xx) or the "tag" displayed at the top of the device screen. Was thinking the system variables in the customization drop down such as "node" or "address" would work. They do not. Application works, just looking for a more efficient way than have many so different customizations for each alert. thanks
