7 zone 2441TH Thermostat setup
Hello 50/50, I have an alternative solution for you that I hope gives you something else to consider. I would suggest if the zones where the temperature needs to be measured can be accessed. Deploying a 1 wire temperature network would provide you the same capability with less hardware invested. The basic's would require that you either deploy a home brew 1 wire network using the RPi (Raspberry Pi) and a 1 wire hardware master controller. Or go with a consolidated 1 wire software box from Autelis (Autelis ISY Bridge) and interface it with the ISY Series Controller. You will of course require the Network Module plugin from UDI for both solutions. I have just recently deployed the first phase of my 1 wire temperature / humidity sensor network in my home. It has so far worked out tremendously in all aspects for my intended use case. Here are a few snap shots of my system and random programs that react to the temperature changes in my home. There are currently twenty 1 wire temperature sensors installed in and around my home which provides local temperature / humidity that interacts with the ISY Series Controller and integrates with the Insteon network. By this years end I should have all 40 sensors deployed and installed. Once done this will allow me to control all aspects of the HVAC system and reduce my energy consumption and costs. Since going down this road the journey to save money and be more efficient has paid off in spades. I have appended my last electrical bill which you can see (actual electricity used) is extremely small.

Repair of 2413S PLM When the Power Supply Fails
Hello Lee, I can confirm all of what you have stated in the 2413S PLM I recently received from Smarthome. Thank you very much for taking the time to follow up and provide more insight on this topic.

What's Needed for Electricity Power Monitoring
This device is indeed Zigbee and could be added to the ISY Series Controller if UDI made a module to support it. Sadly, it will not be done given the lack of people who have this device.

Rain Today issue...
Well, its safe to say if IndyMike can't explain it. We are all screwed !

Repair of 2413S PLM When the Power Supply Fails
I think its great they replied back and indicated it would be sent up the engineering ladder. I hope very much the new PLM that I received has better quality components with in. But, history has proven *Hope don't float* so I won't hold my breath in this area.

I believe its 0.1 seconds but am pretty sure you won't even notice it.

Let us know how it all turns out for the benefit of others.

HAM Reliability and my workaround
The last time I read Michels reply it wa due to high UDI fee's. But, I agree if there an option for members to select from a list and use their own API key that is something that should be made available. I believe your problem is going to be the same solution I plan on doing. That is using a PWS and know the weather environmentals are dead on. Right now I have more time than money so am just saving up my pennies for a Davis PWS.

KPL switch only (not dimmer)
I think if you just use what you have now will be fine. Why spend more cash on something that has no real benefit besides being a true relay On / Off? Plus, its huge, phat, and a pain to work around the ground strap.
-
KPL switch only (not dimmer)
I honestly don't know other than the simple fact those KPL relays are phat! If you have lots of space and not a lot of box fill. It should not be a problem until you see that massive 12 gauge ground strap in the front of the metal clip! M-hahahahahahah
-
KPL switch only (not dimmer)
You better make sure the J Box has plenty of room to fit that monster in! The KPL dimmer is only 1.2" while the KPL relay is 1.7" and has a huge aszz 12 gauge ground strap that you're going to have to smash into the drywall. Don't even think about trying to fit it into the KPL table top enclosure yet! Well, not until we find out where the other member got the awesome trim ring!
-
KPL switch only (not dimmer)
Yes, all you need to do is purchase the 8 button conversion kit and follow the manual to set it up as so.
-
KPL switch only (not dimmer)
Yes, it comes in a 6 button relay: http://www.smarthome.com/keypadlinc-insteon-2487s-6-button-scene-control-keypad-with-on-off-switch-dual-band-white.html

What's Needed for Electricity Power Monitoring
Yes, but I would call in to the POCO and talk to a human being about this whole process first! Almost every member who has engaged the POCO to enrol into the HAN service has been met with less than knowledgeable people.

Dual Band Keypad in Tabletop Enclosure
No, its a physical hard material he's using. On the cell phone it does appear like a piece of tape. When you enlarge the photo on your computer you can see its a physical hard ring material.

Dual Band Keypad in Tabletop Enclosure
Dual band KPL dimmers fit (1.2"), dual band relays which are much thicker do not (1.7").

Revoked Certificate
MikeBro, I don't believe anyone is saying that at all. Simply that the ISY-99 Series Controller is end of life and future Insteon products are not supported at this time. I am sure Michel will chime in with a fix to this silly cert issue. I would be very shocked if this cert issue would prevent those who do not intend to upgrade to a newer 994 Series Controller from operating. As I have two of them right now that seem to be working fine but would be very upset too if they stopped working just because of a expired cert??

How to debug email not working issue
I would ask you to state how many programs you have sending mail. Along with the times they are being issues and to how many people. I have noticed if there are lots of programs with (time conditions) of when an email is supposed to be sent. Emails can be missed, the solution for me was to stagger the send interval, change the time a condition should send an alert, and also prioritize who should receive the first email. Just something else to consider assuming this is not a network related issue. One thing I did not see mentioned was rebooting the ISY to see if this makes any difference to the outcome.

How to debug email not working issue
If you're using the ISY default gmail account it may be having some problems again. I know of at least two incidents where the UDI server was either offline, or was sending out mass emails from the past. Most people are using their own personal (dedicated ISY) gmail account for this.

Is Z-Wave on the ISY994 reliable or still kind of alpha/beta?
I have struggled with doing that but didn't want to explain it to the kids why dads a potty mouth LOL! In the man cave I could slip a few in. Encrypted By: Phoenix Security Solutions
