You can never have enough back up power: [emoji2957] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you haven't done so already place the ISY Series Controller on a quality UPS.

Personally, I'm a APC fan but Cyber Power is also a good brand along with Triplite

This would be a good time to invest in a small quality UPS for the system.

Long term it would probably make a lot more sense to offer a Ethernet based I/O board similar to the ones you referenced in the past for relays. Since the Polyisy has three RJ45 ports why not use one of the two remaining instead of hacking the case to shoe horn some crappy cables?!? Another option would be to use the serial port but given that is going to be used for the Insteon connection. I’m not too sure sending multiple serial data streams through a break out box is a very good idea. [emoji1785] Regardless, good times for all of us if and when this box becomes the next generation controller! Node Link - Node Link - Bueller - Node Link - Bueller?!?

To be clear the bad device has been removed from the ISY Series Controller? Or did you simply (physically) pull it out? [emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure what kind of networking gear along with Firewall is on site. But can you confirm you tried to connect while WiFi was disconnected and tried via cellular? I have the same issues here because my firewall doesn’t allow the public IP to be used while connected on the LAN / local WiFi. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Adding multiple devices in a defined scene within the ISY Series Controller is exactly the same as if you did it manually via the set buttons on each device for associated links. Keep in mind you always want to do all linking through the controller so the expected behaviour is seen. [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Almost anything is possible via USB. The problem though is the correct USB drivers need to be integrated with the BSD OS. That is probably the greatest failing in Unix / Linux OS as many of the common Windows USB drivers are not present or readily available for use without each maker investing the time to incorporate them. The so called Plug & Play (P&P) was a great concept more than 20 years ago. But the reality is only 70% of the most common hardware is on board Windows OS and the same support for none Windows drops to below 45%! [emoji1785] One only needs to reference BLE!! [emoji35] It’s only taking the Raspberries Pi foundation three freaking years to offer a half *** solution and it’s still not there yet! [emoji107] I hope very much BLE support on BSD won’t take another five years?!? [emoji3525] For I/O given the vast support via RPI you simply can’t go wrong so it makes sense to go that route if you have near term plans. [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There are other possibilities using other sensors like temperature, vibration, and open-close sensors. One of the forum members built a switch contact sensor to monitor his dryer vent which indicates to him the drying cycle is complete.

Can you describe your network? Do you have any firewall appliances? ISP Router / Modem -> ISY? ISP Modem -> Router -> ISY? ISP Modem -> Router -> Switch -> ISY? Cost you nothing to reboot each device one at a time and report back success / fail. Always reboot the ISP first and let it come back on line. If there is a router reboot that next. Once up restart the ISY and try again. One thing to note regarding using Gmail. You need to follow the WiKi regarding having the FROM field correctly populated otherwise mail will go into a black hole. Lastly, can you confirm you have no issues going to any websites?

Just create a gmail account and you’re good. [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Answers in line and below here: AMD 1 GHZ Quad Core, 4 GB RAM, 32 GB SSD, DB9 (Serial / Insteon). The company is investigating Z-Wave Series 700 dongles for this support. ZigBee is also on the table but would use Node Servers for this support. The system comes with BLE, WiFi for the Pro version. There is also a slot for a SIM I believe could be wrong but this is what I recall. There is a header but haven't seen it discussed. 12V @ max 2A (when you have peripherals). But, normally 12V @1A = 12W. Temperature range is commercial. Lastly, the current system will support 1024 Nodes and 1000 Programs - For Now!

LMAO . . . Well, played!

It was low fat too - Gotta watch out for my cholesterol !

Appreciate the update on that as I was really hoping to see the program with different delays help you solve this. But, not all is lost because if you have one of those remotes you could (IF) willing could tap into the remote and using a dry contact device say I/O Linc / Z-Wave equivalent and make the blinds move in unison. I read a few members going this route because what you're seeing is *A Typical* for blind control.

The door bell is / was 120 VAC powered and the sensor of course was battery powered. Probably if I added more buttaaaaaaaaa it might have worked!

Going off fuzzy memory about two years ago I was setting up some Z-Wave door bells and linked directly to a motion sensor. Both door chime / door bells were linked directly to the sensor and each of them had a slight delay before the door bell would chime / go bong. It was super annoying so the client abandoned that setup and kept the Insteon door bell solution I used instead. Having tried to do the whole routing, beaming, healing, add / remove, 99999999999 repeaters, whatever at the time was just a time suck!

From personal experience this also gives that apparent *Pop Corn* effect too.

I would say if the 994 Series Controller is going to be managing these *Scenes* you might very well see them in sync or not. If they are not in sync again you have the ability to add a wait in the program to compensate for the delays in one set of blinds. Regardless, love to hear what happens using scenes vs a program.

Generally speaking, a scene is a direct link to multiple device(s) opposed to having extra hops and going through a managed server / controller. So a scene would realistically be more reliable and faster. With blinds I’ve found depending upon brand & model syncing them really is an art and just luck. You have nothing to lose by trying either. You might actually see better syncing with a program as you find one set of blinds is slower / faster by X seconds. Using a program would allow you to find tune the speed execution of the same for that apparent sync’d output. [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Alright let’s go for broke. I want you to delete a single device and than add it back. Once there, activate that device physically and confirm the status is correct. If so, control the same via the Admin Console. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When you select tools and scroll down to see the PLM Status. Show me what it says from the Admin Console. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Right mouse click on any device in the left hand side of the device tree. Select query and let us know what happens with images and pop up messages. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
