Hi Gary, LOL. I was in an all day meeting. Now I am back and hopefully I should be back home tomorrow. With kind regards, Michel

Randy, my pleasure and sincere apologies for having to go through this. With kind regards, Michel

Hi Joe, It's with regret that I have to inform you none of our releases fully support EZIO. It's basically dependent on your luck (and our luck) ... we have almost exhausted all our options: sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. We have not been able to figure out the secret ingredient yet. This said, however, we have not given up yet. With kind regards, Michel

Gary and Nick, Where would we be without you? Eclipse decided that we could have a type (Subscription) without it being defined. I now added it back and it should work fine ... please do wait for 2.6.13. Thanks SO very much, With kind regards,

Hello dbencivengo, Yes, -2 means device communication error: i.e. the PLM does not receive acknowledges back from devices. If you have had a power surge, then in all likelihood your PLM is shot (and you will have the same problem again within days). May I humbly suggest a replacement PLM? With kind regards, Michel

Hello upstatemike, Have you tried restoring your switch using 2.6.12? With kind regards, Michel

Hello all, For all who are interested in a possible fix for the on level/ramp rate issue, please checkout this post: http://forum.universal-devices.com/view ... hp?p=14246 Thanks and with kind regards, Michel

Hi Gary, Please retry. I do apologize for not updating the website with the most recent WSDL. With kind regards, Michel

Hi Michael, Apologies ... we have left all the GUI bugs for last but this shall surely be fixed in our official 2.7 release (as soon as we get all the i2/Insteon bugs fixed). Thanks so very much for your patience, With kind regards, Michel

Hi Randy, I am going to send you an email shortly with the instructions. With kind regards, Michel

Hi Michael, Thanks so very much for the vote of confidence. It means a lot. With kind regards, Michel

Mr. Sullivan and Gary, Thanks so very much for your input and you are 100% correct: we do not charge for INSTEON compatibility enhancements. Wayne, We are doing our best to support SimpleHomeNet devices. This said, however, we have had a lot of technical difficulties. With kind regards, Michel

Hello Rich, I think the best thing to do is to leave your PLC in there for now. 1. Plug in your ISY 2. Plug in your PLM 3. Add devices to your ISY You can add devices into ISY in two ways: 1. Link Management->Start Linking and then tap link all your devices (I recommend starting small) 2. Link Management->New INSTEON Device in which case you will have to know the address of your device In both cases, you would want to choose the first option (remove existing links) as this will reduce a lot of problems down the line. Also, if you run into any questions/issues, please call our tech support line and we'll walk you through it. With kind regards, Michel

Hello Illusion, No, this is no Illusion! We never did put node names in the event viewer. But, this is surely something we have to do. With kind regards, Michel

Hi Randy, Do you have an older backup of your system? I think your file system is corrupted (for some reason) and we will have to do one of the following two things: 1. Format the file system, reinstall 2.6.8, and restore your backup OR 2. If you wish, you can send it to us and we can restore your back up for you The main question is: do you have a recent backup of your system? With kind regards, Michel

Hi Rich, The main idea behind ISY is an affordable, self contained/standalone, web based, remotely accessible energy management system. This is not limited to lights only. ISY is accessible from any mobile device including Windows Mobile since the mobile interface is 100% HTML (no Java). Due to the complexity of what we do in the Admin Console, we would have to use a rather thick client be it Java, ActiveX, Air, SilverLight, etc. With kind regards, Michel

Hi Gary, yes I did. With kind regards, Michel

Hello again jamesx0, I did some testing and I still couldn't reproduce it. This said, however, I did reproduce the problem whereby some devices have the wrong status after a long query. This leads me to believe that these two bugs are one and the same: in all likelihood, one of the devices in the condition has the wrong status (after the query) and thus the condition becomes true. The next time this happens, would you be kind enough to check the Log and make sure that at least one of those devices was reporting On? This has been fixed in the next release. With kind regards,

Hi Burak, I think the problem was that the module was not getting updated with correct information. Please do keep us posted. With kind regards, Michel

Hello Rich, As you pointed out, ISY cannot do speech or work "directly" with wireless X10 devices. We do not yet have any plans to support either of these technologies. With kind regards, Michel

Hi C Martin, Excellent. WeatherBug module is $49.00 and it's a module which communicates with WeatherBug servers. All you have to do is to find the closest station to you and then use the weather parameters in your programs. The firmware is 2.6.5 with all the new 99is. You will have to upgrade to 2.6.11 (or hopefully our official 2.7) when you receive the unit. And, yes, just back up your ISY-26 and restore it on to your 99i PRO. With kind regards, Michel

Hello frustratednon-geek, I do apologize for the inconvenience and we'll do our best to make you into a happynon-geek. Do you press the Save button when you are done with your programs? If you see Green arrows on the program names, then they are not saved and thus they are not going to execute. Now, as far as resetting everything, you don't really have to. All you need to do is to choose the first option (Remove existing links) when you add your INSTEON devices. This should wipe out all the links you already have. And, finally, perhaps a short call with our tech support might be an easiest way to get you back on track. With kind regards, Michel

Hi C Martin, Do you have ISY-26 or 99i as this is only available for 99i. And, which URL are you going to? With kind regards, Michel
