This could be bad...
Well for perspective I don't think anyone had the same skill set as EVIL Pete. Considering this is what he does as a hobby and related work. Keeping in mind not one soul has ever been a presenter at DEFCON so this lends credence to what has been stated. At the end of the day I don't believe he's just blowing smoke up your dress!

This could be bad...
Yes, EVIL Pete indicated this in the Smarthome forum several weeks ago. I am eager to see what has been found and what methods are used to exploit the Insteon protocol. Not too sure how Smartlabs will respond to this news . . . But, if history is any measure or indicator they (Smartlabs) will sit and wait for a year or so before they provide any kind of resolution. This was seen in the HUB v1 a few years ago and was documented in the Cisco site as to the threat level etc. For me I am not worried at all about a hacker trying to control and access my Insteon network. Given the extremely short distances of RF / Power line signalling. The odds of someone outside in a vehicle lying in wait to capture the Insteon signal is highly remote. Bolster this with the shear fact I am surrounded by red necks and low tech fools that simply decreases the odds anyone is interested in hacking my lighting system. Don't get me wrong, if EVIL Pete provides methods and techniques that compromise the Insteon architecture Smartlabs needs to plug those holes etc. For me I won't lose any sleep over this because there is a higher possibility of me getting struck by a meteor in this hick town than some random person coming down my street waiting to capture and turn on/off my lights.

Insteon TouchLinc Controller - Useless???
I would love to read over a in depth review and possible You Tube video of all of this in action.

ISY-99i and the Insteon Smoke Bridge
I was mistaken as you can see the One Link sensors all have the following designations: http://www.firstalertstore.com/store/category/wireless-interconnect-alarms.htm They also have the markings so what ever they sold you is incorrect.

ISY-99i and the Insteon Smoke Bridge
Just to be clear you're saying the face of the smoke detector has no markings indicating One Link? As you can see all of mine do and they come from various sources from North America. The SA-501CN is the correct model . . .

ISY-99i and the Insteon Smoke Bridge
LOL I did not even consider you purchased the wrong units! [emoji5]️ Yes all one link units are so marked and all of them work with the smoke bridge. Well besides the Z-Wave version of one link! [emoji4] Here are three kinds I have deployed in my home. 120 VAC hard wired, battery smoke, and battery smoke / CO. Ideals are peaceful - History is violent

ISY-99i and the Insteon Smoke Bridge
Once you confirm bridging / coupling if that is good. The most likely cause is noise in the home. As painful as it is the only recourse is to unplug everything in your home and turn off breakers to items you simply can't reach. If afterwards you see status on the smoke bridge it's time to replace / filter the offending device(s). [emoji53] Ideals are peaceful - History is violent

ISY-99i and the Insteon Smoke Bridge
Have you confirmed you have proper coupling / bridging in your Insteon network as outlined in the users manual for the 2413 PLM? It sounds to me based on your reply you have either noise on the line or poor coupling. I would suggest you complete the coupling / bridging test and get that out of the way first. Next, move the smoke bridge to another outlet using a long extension cord. If you find one that shows proper status identify what devices are on the offending outlet and either remove / filter them. If nothing is on that circuit at all it tends to point to poor coupling but could be still noise makers / signal suckers in the home.

Question about fanlinc and the pull chains on the fan
The fan must be set to the highest speed and left there. The fanlinc moving forward will control all aspects of the fan speed and light. I would not remove the chains but simply secure them in place and out of the way. Because one day you're going to need them for some testing / maintenance.

Smart home hub security flaws
Took a quick glance at this site and most if not all of the information is none informative and provides little reference(s). The site actually comes off as horse sh^t material. Clicking on their Smarthome link goes no where but talks about Apple / BMW?? Really, fail . . . EDIT: It should be noted one of the HUB's they are speaking about has to do with the HUB v1 / v2. Which I am told was finally patched after two years of being well known. This was first issued by Cisco and some 3rd party white hats who perform security threat assessments on products / services. This is one of the reference materials I saw two years ago: http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/viewAlert.x?alertId=33393 This is the other famous one which is the Vera Lite: http://www.computerworld.com/article/2484542/application-security/home-automation-systems-rife-with-holes--security-experts-say.html

Logging - How and What?
I use a combination of dedicated hardware, software, and cloud solutions. Which assist me to see real time, historic, and aggregated trends. The ISY Series Controller provides me from small to large tracking abilities which are integrated into several other cloud solutions. In the screen capture you will see state / integer variables which track current, low, high values for specific areas, rooms, zones, floors, devices, appliances in my home. Using the power of the ISY Series Controller I forward the same data sets to the free hosted service of Smart Energy Groups (SEG). As this allows me to use multiple graphs, charts, dials, to be used to track those sensors and energy readings for later review. While on the other extreme I use my Brultech Dash Box to capture all of the electrical energy, temperature, water, gas, weather data which is stored locally in my home. I have the benefit of local storage, control, and security / privacy. While also having redundancy of the same data set held off site freely hosted in the cloud for later retrieval and sharing with the community should I so desire. Ultimately all of the above takes some time, effort, and financial resources.

Leal Sensor Question
Pressing the set button should also send a heart beat update about 1-2 minutes afterwards. This is unless the latest firmware has interrupted this behavior. For the benefit of others please state the hardware, production date which is on the device (inside) and the ISY firmware.

Suddenly having strange issues...please help.
The only sure why is to look on the back to see what model it is whether its a older single band 2412S vs the dual band 2413S. As I recall hardware v.92 was present for the 2412S. For some reference if you had a 2412S and compared it to the 2413S in terms of shear weight the 2412S weighs about twice the same weight as a 2413S. Lastly, you can keep the older unit and follow the capacitor replacement guide and have a back up. This assumes only the capacitors have failed. As a very small percentage of users had other components fail besides the caps.

Programming question
Just to clarify in your program 100 equates to 100'F correct? Because in the Autelis Bridge 100 is actually only 10, 100;F would be 1000 no? I use metric so 20'C comes in the Autelis Bridge as a value of 200.

I/O Linc v.41 and triggering output relay based on sense input
So, I gather you still had limited access the transformer hence why you were able to connect the I/O Linc to the unit correct?

I/O Linc v.41 and triggering output relay based on sense input
The builder installed the actual door bell chime (ding / dong) module in the basement?? You're not talking about the transformer correct?

Sylvania zwave light bulb
To add some clarity to this question the current Zigbee protocol only interacts with energy monitors, and specific TSTATS. UDI does not currently support the home automation aspect or any other at the moment. Perhaps one day it will because it would open the door to new sales given the proper device support such as these bulbs.

Problem Accessing Admin Console of Remote Installation
The system will indicate the official release that is available for install and never a Beta version. You may install the latest 4.3.10 RC5 build with out issue or worry and this will provide new Insteon hardware support and resolve many past bugs. Every time (Now) you install the new Admin Console it will delete the older version from the desktop. You can simply create a new desktop icon which should have been done automatically or placed somewhere else on your Mac. With respect to the certificate and its setting up this would be best done with the assistance of UDI Support. NOTE: Please follow all guidelines with respect to the updating process for firmware. Failure to do so will result in random errors or access issues.

Problem Accessing Admin Console of Remote Installation
I believe the next step and best option moving forward is to submit a ticket so UDI Support can resolve this quickly for you. You may submit a service request following this resource link: http://www.universal-devices.com/contact-support/ Once they assist you to gain portal access you will need to update that controller to the latest Beta build which is 4.3.10 RC5. This will allow you to have better support for devices and speeds up encryption processing for higher levels of certificate strengths.
