Well, I seem to have solved it. I had figured it had something to do with a scene and you verified it, but I had to trace which switch was causing it. I had tried to reset the switches before, but I did it one more time. I left the power off to them a little bit longer, then pushed the button a little bit longer after the beep stopped. I did it to three of my switches after tracing the numbers. It now seems to work properly. Thanks for the help.

Yeah, I wasn't descriptive enough. That can make a difference when telling people. I am that way sometimes.

Where you pull the plastic little button at the bottom of the switch out and let it be off for several seconds. Or is that called something else?

Well, I did a reset at the switch, and then did a restore. It now shows that it succeeds. BUT it still shuts off the office lights. I just don't know what is going on.

Do a restore from the isy or from the switch itself.?

I just noticed that when I do a diagnostic scene test It comes back as failed for these 2 buttons. The other buttons come back as succeeded. The 10 and 15 min buttons fail. Notice where it says failed, all the other buttons had succeeded. Bathroom D Fan 15 minutes says fail. When I do it for a Bathroom Fan 5 minutes it says succeeded where it says failed below.

The light check is a button on my bedroom KPL that I have used for years to see if any lights were left on in the basement. If so, we just pushed the button and turned them off. The only thing in the programs are the actual switches themselves, but most are somehow tied to a scene. I thought it may have been the light check, but I disabled the programs, and the problem still happened. It is so weird that it only happens to the 2 buttons. the 10 and 15 min buttons are the only ones that cause the issue. I even changed out the office switch. It was an old Insteon switch that needed to be changed out anyway. The problem still happened.

I have found out what is causing the issue. I just setup a new fan timer using a 2334 8-button keypadlinc that takes the place of a failed Insteon 8-button actual timer. I have 8 scenes with 7 programs. I was helped by an isy/insteon expert. Well, what is happening is somehow coming from the switch. It happens with only 2 of the buttons. After the 10 min or 15 min go through their time limit, they shut off. When they shut off, they shut off the office lights. Now, I have to figure out WHY???????????

It looks like it was doing a basement light check from the logs at that time. I don't know why that time, but that is when it appears to be doing it. I did a restore to see if maybe that will help. Only time will tell I guess. We'll see if it happens again.

It is a switchlinc dimmer 2476D v.27. I am using the isy994i with firmware 5.3.4 and UI 5.3.4 I don't know about the other stuff. I'll try the restore device and see if that will make a difference. It has only happened twice that I know of, and it not a real big deal, I'm just curious is all.

The other day I was sitting in my office when all of a sudden the ceiling lights just went off. I have a program in my bedroom that works with my 8 keypadlinc that gives me the option of checking to see if any lights are on anywhere in the house, and I can turn them off. I thought maybe my wife had done it to me, but she had not. Today, I was sitting in the office and the same thing happened again. My wife was in there with me so I know she didn't do it. I'm baffled as to what is happening. It's not a big deal, but I would like to know what is causing this. How can I do this?

Well, that looks like a much easier way. It works like a charm. Great minds like yours come up with great ideas. Thanks.

Right. So if I go in and set a static on the ISY, my router will see the address. I will then set it to a fixed ip in the router, go back into the ISY and change it to DHCP. Does this make sense? That way I get the lower number I want in my address list. Silly, yes. Will this work? Thanks.

Just a little OCD on my part, but I do like certain clients on my list to have lower ip addresses. Weird I know, but I still would like to do if possible. Is this something I could do? Take and make my ISY994i static, set the address in my controller as a fixed IP address, and then turn my ISY994i back to DHCP for future. Would you do this if you had OCD? ?

Yes, I did that. I kept getting a message it was unable. I finally had to do revouninstaller and get every little bit of Java out of my computer before it would let me clear my cache. I finally got it to work.

Okay, so I'll just forget about the old way. My firmware and UI both match at 5.3.4

So, the only thing that I seem to be having problems with, is the ISY Admin Console shortcut. The one from step #8. The ISY launcher works fine. I have to click on the ISY Admin Console shortcut 4 times before I can get in. The first 3 times it says it is unable to launch the application. The 4th time it says it is downloading, and the 5th time, I get into the console. I know I can just use the ISY launcher, and will. I just need to know what I'm doing wrong as to why I can't get in easily through the ISY Admin Console? Thanks.

I had to uninstall and reinstall Java. It now works kind of. The firmware and console now match. When I do step 7 of the instructions, I can get to the isy. When I do step 8 to launch directly from the isy, it works once, and then won't launch from that anymore. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

I upgraded, but I can't get my admin console to match my firmware. I have tried following the directions, but when I clear the Java cache, I get an error unable to uninstall applications.

So, MrBill, are you saying that there will not be any manual interaction after the update???

Okay, you say the transfer over is a much tougher transfer? What do you mean by that? Because you also say 5.3.4 should drop in transparently from 5.2. Can you please clarify? Is it a tough update or an easy one? Thanks.

I have not updated for a long time. I have 5.2 installed right now, but am thinking about upgrading. I see so many things that say a lot of manual intervention is needed on some of these. Is there one that will require less manual intervention? It's not like I have days to spend reworking my system. Thanks.

So, if I want to go to my ISY994i, I just type in my.isy.io ???

So, I won't need to port forward at all?
