The device itself is a MeLE Mini PC. So did you look at your router's device table and it doesn't appear? Have you tried more than one network cable and router port?

I think it's just a variable that's named "Timer", and is being used to set a light level percentage in this case. There is no built-in timer function. You can cycle through the "Set" command options by clicking on the "Click to specify" triangle below the device name. That said, there is a way to make such a timer, using a simple program. I just created a state variable called Timer, and made this program: If $Timer > 0 Then Wait 1 second $Timer += 1 Now, if you set this variable to a value other than 0, it will increment once per second. You can use this to have one program trigger another one later, or test for a time interval between two triggering events., or measure the time between them. An additional advantage is that it won't die if the triggering program becomes false, like a "Wait" does, if that is what you need.

If you see several keypadlincs in the home, it would be best to link those first (and selecting "Add devices found in links and keep existing links"). Keypadlincs are there to control several other devices, and often the less obvious ones like fanlincs and other devices with no local buttons. No on;y that, but you'll be able to visually correlate the individual buttons with what they actually control, and match them up with the imported devices.

Ouch, sounds like quite a project. You will need two things: patience...and more patience.

Interesting that of all the switches you mention, only the ones controlling fans are acting up. If you turn them on and off from the admin console (or better yet, from UD mobile in those rooms if you have that) do they miss commands?

Well, there is one more test you could try to see if the timeserver process might be involved. It's to kill the ntpd process. No worries, I tried this on my spare Polisy that I use for testing. A reboot will restart it normally. Again, ssh to the Polisy and do this: ps -aux | grep ntp (that vertical bar is the pipe character, usually over the backslash on your keybpard) You should get two lines of output. One of them will start with ntpd and the next field is a number, the process id. Lets say for example that it's 1125 (what I see on mine) Then you do: sudo kill 1125 (use your actual process id...) You will be prompted for a password. Enter the admin password. This stops ntpd (network time protocol daemon) Confirm that it's not running by redoing the ps -aux... command above. Once that is done, redo your networking tests that would cause IoX to restart and see if it still happens. Then reboot your Polisy to put it back to normal. Tell us if anything changes.

I see, it's an amplifier specifically designed for thermocouples. The output is SPI serial. I've done SPI with a 8051 microcontroller (showing my age!).

Are the switches dual band or powerline only? Also, when a fan is running, do the communications for other devices also seem less reliable? Motors can cause electrical noise, which doesn't help.

So what exactly are you reading with the amplifier, a voltage? What is the voltage range? I imagine that the output impedance of a thermocouple is pretty high, so a very high input impedance is needed for the amplifier. And the Raspberry pi is providing an analog to digital input? A description and/or block diagram would be interesting.

Have you ever accessed unix through a ssh connection (UDI might have had you do that during troubleshooting)? If you have or are willing to try, from your PC DOS prompt, do "ssh admin@polisy.local" and enter the admin password. If you get that far, then just ask the for date by entering "date<cr>". Does the date and time shown here match the ones you see in IoX?

The "downgrade" usually works ok.

Well this is one of those "I couldn't do this if I tried" phenomenon. It just doesn't seem possible. Someone, somewhere will come up with an outside the box explanation that will solve it. Bringing it to the forum is a good next step. You would almost need to try blocking individual port numbers to try to find out what it is on the internet that's causing it.

Once again, it seems to be something related to the internet at large, if a problem at your ISP triggers it. Need to look at anything/everything net related. For example, it must get the time from a timerserver, though I don't see options to set that up in configuration, other than defining your timezone. Could there be an issue with not being able to reach a service like that?

This might be the command you're looking for: To change back to Original Z-Wave do the following: 1) From a browser, go to the following URL: http://<your_IP_address>:8080/rest/zmatter/zwave/deactivateZMatterZWave You should see a "200" in the response 2) Restart IoX

What is this device? Zooz 700 series USB stick or something else? Only the Zooz 700 series or the Zmatter dongle is supported.

What kind of devices do you have? Insteon? Z-wave? Do you have the ZMatter board? Any other connected devices, other than the usual PLM, ethernet, power? Original power supply on the Polisy? Tried a different one? Other than portal and admin access, is TCP/IP used by anything else (plugin, device access, networking module)? Alexa or Google home? Just the fact that it restarts if your ISP goes down seems to make a hardware/electrical issue rather unlikely. The fact that you can repeat the problem at will is a big plus in helping to troubleshoot it.

Have you tried disabling programs in groups and repeating the tests?

The only thing that might change is it's IP address.

No, you need a USB to serial adapter. The DB9 to RJ45 connector would then go into that.

Ok, second step: if you right click on the program (in the program list) and do "Run Then", do the lights come on?

I'd be more than surprised if a Polisy backup could be used on a ISY994i. Just way too different.

Others will hopefully reply, but I don't think the 800 works. You might have to look on ebay. I see some there.

Can you see it in your router's connected device table? That's how I initially find a new UDI device. Then in the IoX launcher, I click on "add" and put (for example) "http://192.168.0.155". That will usually show it.

Yes! The Zooz 700 series usb zwave stick

First step: if you go look at one of these lights in the admin console (in the device list) and turn them on or off at the switch, do you see the status change on the screen?
