Have you tried setting the "Use Default" checkbox? This uses UDI's mail server.

If you want to log in with the eisy password on both, add a new entry in IoX finder on the laptop. Just click on "Add" and enter the URL identical to the one you use on desktop. The difference is that the entry using the eisy password will have port number 8443 as part of the URL.

Insteon works mysterious ways!

Wee if you found the address you can try manual linking, by going into Link Management -> New Insteon A10/X10 device. You'll get a box where you can then enter the address, and click on OK (you might need to expand the window to see the OK). But if it detects the device and gives you that error message, the device isn't linking for some reason.

The usual trick for missing labels is to put admin console in linking mode. This is Link Management -> Add a Remotelinc. You will then get a box telling you to put the device in linking mode. (press Dim and Bright). Once the device is detected, you'll be able to see it's device ID.

We love happy endings! If you have any battery powered devices like motion sensors, open/close contact sensors, etc, those need to be put in linking mode manually and then restored. Just to be sure nothing gets overlooked.

You could try an all devices restore. I hadn't really thought about that option.

Have you tried a "restore device" on the affected devices? Start with two devices that should be communicating between them (eg: a switch that should turn on another one, like a 3 way). Right click on the device in admin console and then choose "restore device". Then tdo the same on the second device, and test if the link(s) between them are back.

No, eisy-ui uses the default http port 80. You'll probably need to open a ticket with UDI

You won't see a link for eisy-ui in IoX finder. Try your eisy's ip address directly, such as: http://192.168.0.123

If you'd be using this on an ongoing basis, then developing a log parsing program would be your best bet. Yes, you'd have to have a scene to device id table to catch the scene equivalent commands.

Yes, you could write a program (per switch) that looks for control on events and increments a variable every time. Then at midnight have another program email you the variable value, and reset it to zero.

If you look around on the forum regarding Alexa+, you`ll see several issues mentioned.

I have two T7900's with built-in wifi, and a T6800 with the plug in wifi dongle. The plugin sees the T7900's but not the T6800. Skyport sees all three. There must be differences in the data format from the different thermostats.

Matter is still "new" and compatibility is at various stages between products and platforms. You might have seen my forum thread about recent experiments I've done with it, after a first round last spring. All my Matter devices are in test conditions, none in regular use. UDI is still listing Matter as being in beta. Directly adding a new Matter device to the eisy most often fails. I've had the best results by first adding (commissioning) a new device to Google Home, then creating a share pin code, and using that to add it to the eisy. I've added a Matter Cync bulb, Cync outlet module, Nanoleaf (Thread) bulb this way. Also shared Hue bulbs as Matter devices to the eisy. To add back a Matter device that had already been configured, you need to factory reset it first. For bulbs this usually means turning it on and off several times, often 5 times or so.

The command is being sent by a program, right? Do you also have a sensor detecting if the door is closed? Sounds like a possible program race condition (timing).

If you want zigbee, then this is the only choice. If you only want Zwave, then a Zooz 700 series dongle wirks fine. You don't need anything additional for Matter, since it's IP based. To support Matter over Thread, you need a border router.

The gear is on the far right at the top, right under "Logout"

Well you add the new Alexa spoken in the portal, you get to choose from several types: You need to click on "Scene" to define it as a scene to Alexa. That's probably what you did, since you won't see your scene names in the select list if you choose something else. Unless you have Devices and Scenes with confusingly similar names! But you say it used to work, so that sounds like an unlikely issue. It probably boils down to something creating noise, as was said initially. Lighting devices can go bad, so you can't rule that out without testing. I don't know how many lights are involved in that one scene or how much trouble they are to temporarily remove (light bulbs only need to be unscrewed). The trick is to remove one at a time and test again.

Battery powered Insteon devices don't relink automatically. You have to put them in linking mode and restore them one by one.

My thinking too, and you would have seen orange blinking on a wall switch that can't communicate with the PLM it's expecting to respond.

Yes, the direct device to device links are great for independence, and response speed. As for backups, well you know...

@raydoc , did you get it shared from Google home and configured in UD Mobile?

Just to add to tested devices: I got a GE Cync smart plug. I was at the hardware store for something else and thought I'd take a quick look at the smart devices (mostly bulbs). Not all GE Cync products are Matter compatible, you need to look at the boxes carefully. Again, it wouldn't add directly in UD Mobile, but adding it to Google home first and then sharing it worked, though it took two attempts. I also noted that Ikea will be selling Matter compatible bulbs. These will be the KAJPLATS line. Announced last fall but not yet available, in Canada anyways. Up until now they only supported Matter through their Dirigera hub, exposing their Tradfri Zigbee bulbs as Matter devices, much like the Hue hub does. Looks like they're discontinuing their hub, and support will die out this summer. They will also be introducing other Matter devices (sensors, etc) with equally hard to pronounce names! If the pricing and compatibility are there, it could be interesting.
