Hello DirkR, To add to my colleagues information to access your ISY Series Controller will require that you make it reachable from outside of the LAN. This will require that you set up port forwarding on your router / modem.

Totally forgot that little nugget thank you! Encrypted By: Phoenix Security Solutions

Brian, If you haven't rebooted the router after making the changes I would do so now. Prior to that I would reboot the modem first. Wait for it to com back up. Then reboot the router and see if it resolves the issue. If not, I would reserve the IP address via MAC addressing in the router for the ISY. This will allow you to leave the ISY in DHCP mode. The benefit to doing it this way is that any network related changes will propagate to all DHCP set devices. Encrypted By: Phoenix Security Solutions

One of several things I do out of course is first track each device with their Insteon ID on a Excel spread sheet. That same information is also written down on a users manual. Next I then tape over the ID with clear tape. Any device that is outside or mission critical has a separate label inserted to the inside of the MS with a label maker.

LeeG, Understood, but I believe the option should be given to the end user to decide. A simple caveat pop up message is all that is needed for the masses I believe. The worst case scenario is you drain a battery and leave a set of lights on. [emoji4] Regardless, thank you for the insight. Encrypted By: Phoenix Security Solutions

I believe that is still one of the strengths of the HL and HUB. Both software and controller are able to update programming and be enrolled with out actually pressing the set button. I don't recall off the top of my head why this critical feature can not be incorporated into the ISY Series Controller but that is truly one of the lacking features for the ISY.

Hello Charles, Does adding the old MS via the *Start Linking* not allow you to enroll the old device? The *Start Linking* is the two colored whirling arrows next to the New Insteon (Light Bulb) icon.

Almost anything that is non dual bright will operate just fine with the micro / inline Linc relay s. Encrypted By: Phoenix Security Solutions

There is a link about which LED's have worked very well for members here in the forums. I personally have had great results with the Definity branded LED bulbs. No line noise, dims very low, no audible noise, unlike the Insteon Bulb Linc!

Hard reset the device two times and try to add it again. Are you on the latest 4.2.15 beta release on the ISY? Encrypted By: Phoenix Security Solutions

Remove it from its location and bring it back to the PLM. Follow the linking process and ensure you press and hold the link button until it starts to flash and link it to the ISY. Encrypted By: Phoenix Security Solutions

That is awesome information and I thank you for sharing this valuable information. Encrypted By: Phoenix Security Solutions

ETA is the end of this year. UDI will need to confirm the final release date as it's quite fluid given all their work on Z-Wave. Encrypted By: Phoenix Security Solutions

If you hard reset the PLM 3-5 times and the problem persists. It's time to call it a day and if it's still under the two year warranty send it back. It's more than likely your PLM received a much larger voltage spike when one or more capacitors failed, taking out one of the IC chips. Encrypted By: Phoenix Security Solutions

You can have only one or the other protocols: zigbee or zwave The current zigbee module you have currently supports thermostats and the energy module. This thread was about gaining support for zigbee locks which has since fallen in the cracks because zwave is the primary focus at the moment. I hope very much after 5.0 is released there will be development set aside to allow zigbee locks. Those who have zwave can already monitor energy. It can not interact with the GEM as it uses zigbee to interact and capture the energy readings. Once 5.0 is released it will allow two ISY Controllers to have two way communications which would allow you to have Zjgbee & zwave in one environment and tie them together. That is one hell of a expansive solution over supporting Zjgbee locks! [emoji35] Encrypted By: Phoenix Security Solutions

Reboot the ISY and report back. Encrypted By: Phoenix Security Solutions

I have one of the dryer couplers without the X10 booster and it works perfect. Not too sure why Smarthome decided to kill off that product since it worked perfectly and required nothing more than a plug & play affair. Regardless, OP you need to confirm proper coupling of the electrical feed in your home. Keeping in mind all the coupling in the world will not help you if the RF device is too far from a dual band receiver or if the signal is marginal. Dual band devices installed into a metal J box has less reception than a wall mounted plugin device like the AP. I personal always install one in each corner of the home, floor, zone, to ensure complete RF coverage. Encrypted By: Phoenix Security Solutions

LOL! You knew what I meant!

Yes, that was one of the solutions Stu provided a few years ago for me. I believe sourcing the parts would be a lot cheaper via the Inter webs. But, if someone wants a buy, install, plug & play that is one very clean approach.

Yes, Stu from the SH forum offered a similar solution which I have considered for a very long time. Since the Insteon Micro On / Off module came out I have simply considered using this device with a 240 VAC SSR instead. This would allow Insteon control and integration while offering bullet proof relay control of my HWT. Right now that project has been put on hold as the *Cost vs Reward* was near zero for me. Its a great convenience but does not save me any money in the long run having the ability to kill the power to the HWT. If I had a cottage / cabin that is something that would see real rewards in terms of energy consumption and user control.

Hrmmm, the links seems to work fine for me? I was hoping to nudge UDI in that direction with their newly released relay device. Since they have indicated its only 10 amps it really does not service a much larger audience and really can't be considered for anything remotely commercial in nature. Most commercial products support at a minimum of 30 amps, and go up from there. I have never seen a commercial relay product support only 10 amps??

From past experience there have been some periods where a few bad devices hit the shelves and into the customers hands. As you indicated SH has always been very good about warranty and replacements for said devices. Also offering cross shipping options to the customer. In my opinion there are only two devices I would never buy given the endless negative customer ratings: http://www.smarthome.com/insteon-2441zth-wireless-thermostat.html & http://www.smarthome.com/220v-240v-30-amp-insteon-load-controller-normally-open-relay-dual-band.html As you noted once you upgrade to the Z-Wave module you can let the ISY Controller control a combination of Insteon / Z-Wave products in your home.

New thread to track this effort is located here: http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/14191-isy-relay-request/

I would hard reset the one flashing red / green. If it comes back up the same way it's safe to say something else was damaged when it died. The other one should be a solid green when powered up. What is the history of these two PLM's? [emoji4] Encrypted By: Phoenix Security Solutions
