How to set up a query on my thermostat to run every 10 minutes or so?
Are you sure your Insteon network is properly coupled / bridged to reach the TSTAT? If you right mouse click on the program and invoke the *Run Then* what happens?

Error backing up ISY
It's possible, that's why I offered the other two choices . . .

Error backing up ISY
You have a few choices from reloading firmware in case the system is corrupted. To hard resetting the controller and then performing a restore. ========================= The highest calling in life is to serve ones country faithfully - Teach others what can be.

Unbundeling they ISY Portal and Networking Modules
Yes, if you want to use it moving forward without the ISY Portal.

My crystal ball for sees a ISY Restore in your future . . .

Error backing up ISY
You can reduce the incident of this happening by disabling all active programs and network resources and any inbound REST calls.

Insteon Wireless Thermostat (2441ZTH)
As I noted this is why the short cycle test must be performed to validate every system operates as expected when required. The reality is every home will experience a short cycle at some point when there are issues with the POCO or during extreme weather conditions. Best to know, test, and validate what will happen in a controlled manner. Also note this may not be plainly obvious but if the On-Off relay is off this is the last known state and this position should remain in place. Short cycling the breaker will not turn the Insteon module back on unless there is something wrong with the device. This is really a poor mans safety switch and thus is why the ISY must be programmed also to have extra safeties in place to guard against other conditions or out of band use cases. Those reading my reply are getting the benefit of someone who has years of testing and having everything going wrong in a similar use case. It should be clear by now short cycling is not recommended in normal circumstances but in this case your testing and proving out every condition and element operates as expected.

Insteon Wireless Thermostat (2441ZTH)
Yes, assuming your Insteon network (RF) mesh is strong and reliable. Key things for a successful Insteon home automation is to ensure the following: - Proper coupling / bridging of the split single phase electrical system. Confirm via the 4 tap beacon test outlined in any products full users manual. - Identify any noise makers / signal suckers and filter, remove, replace. - Verify the AC units power handling falls within the On-Off relay modules specs. - Confirm the On-Off relay module can reliably turn off the AC unit when its fully operational.

Your going to want to confirm that happens in real world use vs paper specs. If the hands on test validate what the paper specs say. Your next step is to install the various Insteon hardware and confirm proper operations. Key area is communications and the network has no issue turning the AC off. Be mindful the AC unit falls within the Insteon power handling capability. If so great - the next step is to move forward with integrating the TSTAT and rinse & repeat the validation process that all systems operate as expected. You will need to build in some safety programs in the ISY Series Controller for watch dog timers for just in case there are power blips. Short cycling the breaker and TSTAT while watching how the AC reacts is imperative.

Your first important task is to confirm how the AC unit behaves once power is applied vs removed. Failure to validate proper operations can result in a failed project vs damaged AC unit.

Repair of 2413S PLM When the Power Supply Fails
Best practices for those of us in the board level repair business has always been to place a glob of solder on the tip. This is done mainly for long term storage and tip protection. Those who live in the rust belt know heat, salt, and humid air will quickly break down metals.

I sold my house. Question about all-on risks
There has never been a reported instance of a ALL ON / ALL OFF where there was no controller in place, ever.

Insteon bridge with First Alert
Normally a One Link smoke / co is marked as such. I would read the users manual to confirm it's One Link RF supported. [emoji53]

ISY994i can't monitor OutletLinc
LOL . . . RE: Status you can always use the *Query* to obtain the last known state of said devices. But this is very much a work around and band aid in having the ISY Series Controller know and have control over said hardware. Craft a program to query the outlet and based on that state do X vs Y whether it be send you an email, change a state variable, etc.

ISY994i can't monitor OutletLinc
I'm not sure I follow what your saying here? Do you in fact have (2) home automation controllers in your home? If so why? If the the HUB II activated the outlet why would you expect the ISY Series Controller to know that?

ISY994i can't monitor OutletLinc
Looking forward to your feedback on that specific unit. I've considered buying a few of the dimmer outlets to remove that *Wall Wart* look on the walls. But, given most of them are behind a piece of furniture and using the latest exterior design housings its not a big deal in terms of looks. Is it safe to say the dimmer version also doesn't make a click sound like the relay version?

The dual relay outlet does indeed have control & status . . . I can't speak to the outlet dimmer though as I don't own one.
-
ISY994i can't monitor OutletLinc
What model of outlet do you have? Older single band? Dual band dimmer vs dual band dual outlet relay? For the latter you have two options *Status vs Control* both will offer different selections from on, off, responding, fast on, fast off, etc.

Insteon bridge with First Alert
Information Only: First Alert has repurchased the One Link logo to reflect their Home Automation and security product line. It no longer just represents the RF based linking sensor system.

Replace an Insteon countdown timer on a fan with...?
Hello Tom, You have two choices here from least invasive to full on. - Pull the clear set button out and wait ten seconds. Once that time elapses push the set button back in until flush. - If that doesn't work you can perform a hard reset. Pull out the set button wait ten seconds. Push the button all the way and hold until you see and hear the KPL beep and the load flash. You should review the hard reset procedure for the KPL timer as some details may be different for this model. ie. Sometimes the user will just hear a beep. Other times a beep and the load will flash. While other times just the load flashes. If you perform the hard reset your next step is to right mouse click and select *Restore Device* this will recreate all the programming and links to the system.

For the benefit of the forum members can you indicate the hardware production and revision of this TSTAT along with what the ISY Series Controller indicates is the firmware for this device is? As this will help others down the road for comparisons . . . Regarding the quality of the product - I would expect to see a few revisions in the near future for this product. Lastly, every consumer should offer direct feedback and rate the product to help improve said product here: http://www.smarthome.com/insteon-2441zth-wireless-thermostat.html#reviews Offering factual feedback along with how to do better is the only way to push the company to do better.
