Friends, Thank you all for such quick an concise replies. @CoolToys and @gdavis were indeed 100% correct about the Harmony remote sending different alternating commands. I shot the codes at a Flipper Zero and it was plain as day obvious that two different command were being sent on alternate button pushes just as you said. eISYIR would pickup one but not the other. I reprogrammed my Flirc so each key has both commands and its working brilliantly now. I have attached the Flirc config I created below with both Harmony Commands assigned to the respective keys for anyone who might also run into this in the future. @firstone I second everyone's thanks for creating this great Eisy Plugin. Small suggestion: to make this all work right it takes a bunch of looking around on the web to collect all the info needed for deployment of eISY-IR as well as FLIRC programming. It might be helpful to include some bread crumbs on this info in the eISY-IR Configuration help documentation in the polyglot page. The instructions here are good. https://www.universal-devices.com/eisyir-flirc/ which is what I followed when I originally set the system up. A link to this page in the Config Help would be pretty useful for newbies (would have saved me a few hours of looking around). There is a link on that page to a flirc config in a different forum post, but that config does not work properly with the universal devices IR code database in Harmony Remotes. A link to both flirc configs on the page above or in your documentation would be fairly helpful I think. Thank you again everyone! ISY Harmony Config my_flirc_config.fcfg

I am having an issue with inconsistent IR commands. It seems like about every other command/button press is received by eISY. Often I press a button on the remote and nothing happens sometimes it takes another press or two for the lights to respond. Other times it seems like it takes a few presses for the lights to respond. If I look at the event viewer in Admin Console I see the following results when I get a successful button press. The next button press (of the same button on my remote) results in no events in the admin console event viewer. The following button press gets the same results below. It seems like "about" every other button press is unsuccessful. If I alternate between buttons it seems better but not perfect. I am using a harmony remote with a hub, with the old ISY994I Ir command set. I just updated to the latest eisyir Version (1.3.1). But, I had this issue before upgrading as well. I am pretty confident my IR commands are successfully reaching the flirc consistently. It seems like there is some sort of reset the eISYIR needs in order to receive another command and pass it to the eisy. Any recommendations to solve this would be appreciated. Additional questions: I don't think these are related to my IR issue but kind of just for my knowledge. 1)What do the Short poll and long poll values do? Not sure if any adjustments here would help me? 2)What are the current default recommended values for: Idle threshold: Press Threshold: Release Threshold: 3) In my event viewer it appears that Press=GV1, Held=GV2, Release=GV3. Not sure if that is correct? I can't seem to find a combination of timing that will show all three statuses on one button push. I have built all my programs to activate on "held" status and am currently using these values: Idle:800 Press:250 Release:250 It did trip me up when I first set this up that I could not trigger a program based on pressed (GV1). About the only timing I can find that makes Pressed/GV1 appear is to make the press significantly longer than released. Example: Idle:800, Press:600, Release 50. However in the event viewer only GV1/Pressed state ever appears, GV2/3 (held/released) never appear. Again, this is just for my knowledge. As long as any code gets passed to eisy successfully and consistently I can adjust my programs as necessary for whatever status I receive. Thank you for any help or info you can provide.

Thanks to everyone for their input help and background with this. I finally sorted out the culprit and thought I would post with results. Short story: Long time ago I installed a cell phone repeater amplifier thing in my attic. I had forgotten it was even there. Not sure if ever really helped much but I believe what happened was the repeater or the cheap wall wort power supply is starting to or has failed and was creating a tremendous amount of noise on the powerline. Interdevice communication was working fine but it was prohibiting communication with my PLM. Unplugged that cell repeater and magically everything came back online and communication is once again robust and reliable. The way I found the issue was basically to shut the entire house off at the breaker panel to start isolating what was stopping communications. I turned off literally everything. I picked a device that was not working but on a circuit without much else. I turned that circuit on and started doing a restore device. To my surprise that device immediately started communicating, and restored itself, green arrow gone. While watching the event viewer in mode 3 in a working system you should see that clip along fairly quickly with INST-TX commands followed very quickly by INST-ACK commands. It cruised along with the commands essentially continually scrolling up the event viewer, with all but two circuits turned off in my situation. I started turning circuits on and watching the event viewer work. If it kept the commands moving I knew the circuit was not the issue, periodically I would have to re-issue another restore command on that device to keep the PLM communicating and the event viewer showing me traffic. Eventually, I turned on my garage which also feeds the lone outlet in the attic, and the communication immediately changed tone to where I would see much slower communication traffic, way more TX commands, less ACK commands, more hops, and eventually a failed communication with a red exclamation point. Turning that circuit on and off at the breaker panel would immediately change traffic behavior every time. I knew I had found it. I unplugged everything in the garage to isolate further (garage door openers, insteon switches, unplugged whatever my wife had plugged in and repeated the test. Finally remembered the thing in the attic, unplugged it and boom the world was right again. Long story short thanks for the tips on the event viewer, had not really used that tool before very helpful. I suspect my original PLM is just fine as well, since the whole reason i switched over was that I suspected the PLM failing was causing my communication issue.

I will try that next. Just swapped the switch with a new switchlink 2477D and it fired up right away no coms issues at all. Other devices with issues are on the same circuit or in the same box as working units which is why I am suspicious that the device is starting to be questionable. What is weird is that it reports as though it can communicate just seemingly not well.

Here is a sample. A few of the devices are old Icon Devices. 2476D Switchlink v.38 2856D2 Icon Lamplinc 2pin v.37 2876SB IconRelay Switch V.39 Here are the results from a restore to the switchlinc. Device in question Neuron ID is 15.A7.6C Log file is attached. Thanks for the help. ISY-Events-Log.v5.7.0__Fri 2023.11.17 06.15.55 PM.txt

I have recently upgraded from ISY994 to Eisy, I replaced the PLM at the same time. Things went generally smoothly. Most of my devices are not a problem. Of my ~50 devices I have 4 that are showing pending writes/updates (the Green 1011 arrow). The devices in question seem to be responding properly, their statuses update correctly and when I "write to devices" there are no errors. I have also done Restore devices. EISY power cycle, device power cycle etc... Seems like nothing I do clears the green arrow. I have been on insteon for quite a while so it is possible some of these devices are older. Wondering if this is a software issue or if these devices are in the early stages of failure. Anything that can be done to clear the pending writes?

I have a RemoteLinc 2 (2342-232) that I am struggling with. It has a Grey Flag to left of the device icon with "1011" text in it. I have put the device in linking mode and tried to write updates to device well over a dozen times. I have tried to restore the device a few times. I have moved the device around and located it near devices with wireless communication in different rooms. I can't seem to get it to link properly from the ISY. For the most part it seems to be doing what it is supposed to do with regards to controlling the lights it should control. One of the scenes when pressed will cause the red led to blink, which I assume means it did not get a response from one of its members. Any suggestions on how to fix this? What does the Grey 1011 mean as opposed to the typical Green 1011 (meaning updates need to be written)?

I am having trouble getting an IRLinc Command to trigger a program. I have a few lights linked to IRLinc, when the IRLinc is triggered the scene executes as it should but the program never runs. The program I have a program setup should clean up some Keypad Linc switch statuses. I can not get the the program to run. If Control 'Utility / IRLinc.09 TV Mode' is switched On Then Set Scene 'Living Room / Keypad Scenes / Fan Keypad B Normal' Off Set Scene 'Living Room / Keypad Scenes / Front Porch B Normal' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Am I doing something wrong? Should this scene run when the IRlinc scene is triggered? Is there a better way to achieve what I want? Thanks for any help
