Hopefully those folks eventually find this post. I will share that while I work in IT, I am by no means a networking expert. That said, the first thing that I did when I saw that my Insteon hub had power and a solid red LED is perform the network test. That test yielded that in fact I had a valid IP address, I was connected to my network, it was reaching the internet but it was NOT able to reach the Insteon servers. It was failing tests 4 thru 7.... My point is....I had a good hunch that the problem was related to Insteon and not my system. Network Diagnostics To begin diagnostics, tap the set button twice, wait one second and then tap the set button again once. Insteon Hub will proceed through seven distinct testing phases with status conveyed through beeping. A single beep indicates that a test has passed. A double-beep indicates that a test has failed. Test 1: Insteon Hub Modem active Test 2: Internet Time Server reachable Test 3: Hub received a DHCP address from the router Test 4: Connected to Insteon Servers Test 5: Active remote connection to Insteon Servers Test 6: Successful remote connection to Insteon Servers at power-up Test 7: Successful connection to real-time messaging service

ok so having been at this for a few hours I believe I now understand what you are suggesting here Teken....while I originally thought you meant that I should factory reset the Insteon hub....I now believe that you mean to factory reset each device, one at a time, so as to delete all associations and avoid any gremlin-like situations during the programing of the ISY, Am I correct?

scratch that...it appears to have added some but not all. Stay tuned...this is work in progress for me. This is all so very new to me

UPDATE... All you need to do is map one Insteon device in the UD app and it will autodiscover all Insteon devices that are on the network.

yeah the app is toast. If it weren't then I wouldn't be asking these questions. I'd just log in and record each ID. Can you please elaborate on "tap and add each device manually to add it to the ISY Series Controller" How is this done?

Thanks. I realize the long road ahead.... Which of these steps will allow me to record the ID/MAC addresses?

My Insteon hub still works....am I able to locally connect to it to pull down all of this information?

Rebuilt my home back in 2018 after devasting fire took everything. The rebuild included Insteon everywhere. All switches, doors, closets, etc... Went to bed two nights ago and as I have done every night I said, Alexa...turn off sunset, which blackout the entire house. Who knew that would be the last time that would work. Ok now that I have gone through the seven stages grief, I am now ready to move forward. I actually purchased an ISY994 and Insteon serial modem two years ago with the intention of switching but never did (lazy mostly). Seems now I have no choice. Ripped out the Insteon hub. unboxed the ISY and serial model, connected everything. Made certain that the ISY showed up in the UD portal and now what??? Can I do an auto discover? All of my devices are buried in walls, behind outlet covers, ect... I don't mind having to recreate the scenes....but how do I get the ISY to "see" all of my Insteon devices?
