Hopefully I am not hijacking this thread with my experiences, but this thread caught my eye since I think I had the same error and found a workaround. I have a 99i running 3.3.10. I was replacing 2 2476D with 2 2477D units. These are in the same switch box and on the same circuit. No known communication issues with the 2476Ds. I added my first 2477D (23 C6 D9) in the ISY with no problems. When I went to add the second 2477D (23 BF 5), it failed with an error about the query Insteon engine. I got this error multiple times. I had never seen this error before. I knew the 2477D was powered up and functioning. I went to add the 2477D a third time, but this time I told the ISY that it was a 2477D instead of letting it "auto discover" like I had always done. This time it worked fine. My partial log is attached, I am not sure why I didn't catch the rest of the activity. I had no trouble using the ISY replace feature, once I got past the adding issues.

The MorningLinc (I meant Morning Industries lock) mechanism itself should be able to determine the deadbolt is extended. But that leaves a question because the door could be physically standing open/ajar. So the logic combination of "deadbolt is extended" and "door is closed (via a standard door security sensor)" would yield the "door is locked" answer. I believe that one of the Z-wave locks actually has two way communication so you can confirm lockage... but I don't know if they are really smart enough to know the door is closed/locked or simply that the deadbolt plunger is extended.

Done the same thing myself... two suggestions to the forum admin: 1) increase the coloring/contrast on the search page, it is hard to find the actual search box in Firefox 2) provide direct links back to the UDI home page (not just the forum home) AND direct links to the wiki from the forum. I find it very awkward to go from the forum to the wiki when researching something.

Is it safe to play with a SmartLinc 2412N device in an ISY house? When I first started using my ISY, I believe I caused some of my own grief by running PowerHome. I just acquired a 2412N as part of a lot of used Insteon gear I purchased. I have no idea if I even WANT to use it, but sure don't wanna mess up my working ISY config.

Depends upon your definition of "mess up" If the IP address changes, nothing in the house will break. But if you are away from home, and don't know the new IP address, you will be extremely frustrated. Using a dynamic DNS service (like Michel mentioned, many good free ones) eliminate this problem by giving you a permanent name to get to your house. You would need a client that will detect and notify the dynamic DNS service whenever your IP changes.

I have had problems using routers to update DynDNS, but then I may have old/wimpy routers. If your IP rarely changes, I found the routers never updated DynDNS, which causes problems. Running the DynDNS client on a PC has been 100% reliable for me and it sends an email to my phone when it updates or renews.

I assume Jon would also be wanting to factory default all his Insteon devices? Otherwise, what is gained by just resetting the ISY/PLM?
