Right, but remember in this case I wouldn't have any zwave devices just the controller and I'm not sure if the controller could "see" the insteon devices through the isy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So I have the ISy994 installed at my house. I'm moving soon and want to install insteon at my new house. New house has a 2gig gc3 panel. It has a built in zwave controller and works through the alarm.com app. I'm happy using MobiLinc for light automation, but my wife wants to be able to use the alarm.com app. Question is can we do both? For example turn exterior lights on through the alarm.com app will signal zwave from the gc3 to the isy and then to the insteon switch. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Not the issue as I can't even get the file selected to start trying to upload. When I click on import the finder/browser window opens up and then it crashes or stops responding before it shows a single file.

Ok, I've had some issues trying to get this setup. First just getting the network module which Michael helped me out with, but now that I have it I'm having issues with importing the zip file. I think the admin console doesn't want to work well with osx el capitan 10.11.2. It won't load the finder to even see files that I could import. Played with it an hour or so and it just keeps locking the admin console up and every time I try to change the directory to downloads it gives me the thinking animation for 10-15 seconds and then usually crashes. Anyone working with this on a iMac with latest OS?

Thanks. It was controlled by a scene. Deleting the device which was added back on my isy26 and re linking it with the ISY994 did the trick. I wonder if I should do this with all the devices or is it just important for the new firmware devices. The outletlinc is the first new device I've bought in a over a year. Thanks for your help.

Well I migrated over to the isy994, but no change. Status seems to be better, but when the program turns on the lights it doesn't turn on the outletlinc even though the isy994 thinks it is on and shows it as on. Again I don't think this is a communication error due to manual testing working perfect. I will say the isy994 is much faster at programming scenes and writing changes. Any other ideas where to start my troubleshooting?

Thanks. Just ordered my isy994i. Looking forward to all the new updates. Hopefully it works with a mac a little better than the isy26.

Ok. I wasn't aware of that. So are you guys saying the only fix is to upgrade to isy99? Thanks for the quick responses btw. I always thought about upgrading to the isy99, but really never noticed a huge difference in functionality. Also just a quick recommendation please.... If i'm considering changing my controller; is there any advantage to going to houselinc instead of the isy99? Thanks.

I have a isy 26 that has worked perfectly up until now. I never have had any communication issues in the past. I added an outletlinc outside in a weatherproof recessed box to control my new led low voltage lighting and to power a fountain. I also installed a outdoor appliance linc on the non controlled outlet on the outletlinc so I have basically two controlled outlets outside. The ouletlinc is dual band. Anyway the problem that's been happening is I have a program setup to turn my coach lamps on at sunset and the outletlinc. The coach lamps do just fine and always have and the outletlinc is off the garage, but they never turn on with the program. The ISY status shows on. My mobilinc app on the iphone says status on, but they never are. What's different about this problem is I don't think it's a communication issue because it always works when I turn it on or off manually through mobilinc or isy administration screen. I can turn it on and off 20 times and it works perfectly every time. I've tried setting up a scheduled program that sends the on command to both separately and I've also tried setting up a scene that has both the coach lamps and the outletlinc included. Neither works from the schedule. Any ideas where to start for troubleshooting? Thanks.

I have two dual band access points. I haven't checked to see if I'm on different legs of the electrical system, but I never really thought it was an issue since everything works. I have actually been surprised at how well everything has worked. I do have multiple electrical panels. No filters and the PLM is on the same circuit as my PC. Should I just put one dual band device on something controlled by each panel? They will be on different legs, right?

v92 on the plm Tried the scene test and it did nothing. Checked the event log and it's constantly trying to set time from ntp. Like every 5 seconds. I have no idea why it is doing this because I have it set for every 24 hours. It still is giving me errors on that. It says dns error. Update again-- Ok I disabled the NTP sync and saved that. Ran the scene test on a simple scene with 2 controllers (keypadlinc buttons) and one lamplinc. It gives me failed messages. I'm not sure what this means, but I do know that my system works perfectlyt. It always works. I tested this scene 50 times on and off and everything is working perfectly and the light turns on immediately with no delay as do the keypadlinc buttons, but when I run a scene test on that scene it takes 2+ mins and it shows a failed message.

1. If I add any ip cameras I'm sure I would have them on all the time so that's not a huge issue, but I see why it could be. 2. It isn't a deal breaker. I said it isn't a huge issue. 3. Yeah I'll mess around with it. Still very curious as why it's taking so long program small changes or new scenes involving only a few devices. This is really me being impatient here, but seriously when I setup a new scene involving a keypadlinc button and one switchlinc it has progress bar after progress bar after progress bar. It shows it's writing to other devices unrelated. Is there an option to have it start the long writing process only after you are done making all the changes to scenes/devices? I feel like I'm Peter in Office Space when he's trying to duck out early on Friday. Also I feel like I'm getting ahead of it creating scenes and I always wait until it's totally done to go to the next scene. Like I said a minor complaint, but then again I was amazed that the iphone 3gs loaded yahoo.com in 5 seconds vs. the iphone 3g in about 17. So that gives you an idea of where I'm coming from.

1. Network module - Yes having the ability to access cameras remotely is tempting, however I think most ip cameras today have this built in, but I'm curious what the advantage to accessing them through the ISY is? Actually looks like they dropped updates for the ISY-26 in the newest beta firmware. So that just took place. Maybe they have an upgrade discount. 2. This isn't a huge issue. 3. Yes I can access remotely and do so via the mobilinc app on my iphone which is brilliant. This makes me feel like everything is setup correctly as far as network/router settings.

Ok new or should I say refurb ISY-26 owner here. Anyway I've been just playing with it and so far here is what I've noticed or had questions about that I couldn't find the answer to readily. 1. What am I missing out on compared to the ISY-99. (I don't care about weatherbug and the other plug-ins or IR capability) Now what I do care about is performance. I upgraded to the ISY from a Smartlinc because I wanted programs and I wanted the ability to write things to each device remotely. Now I thought that was going to be a big time saver vs. manually creating scenes at the devices. However I've found out already that this process takes forever. Every time I make a slight change to anything it shows status as writing to all devices including my remotelinc that has no buttons related to the device I made the change on. I mean it really takes two minutes or so to create a new scene that I could have done locally at the switchlincs in 10-15 seconds. Is this normal and is there anything I can do to speed this up? 2. My ISY-26 doesn't get power from the 2412S. I have to use another external power supply. I thought I read that it does supply power. 3. My NTP time server never works. It always gives me an error. Thanks.

Ok I just got my ISY-26 and this comment confused me. I see that button when I'm viewing a scene, but where does it copy the scene attributes to, and then how or where can I paste the attributes. Sorry if this is a basic question, but I'm still learning how this isy really works.
