I thought I had managed to run the AC through the portal, at a remote location, off my home LAN. In the past I used to open up ports, but prefer not to do that. I can open the Device/Program list using Select Tool | ISY Web access, but that is not what I'm looking for. * Orest

5.3.4 is the latest for the 994, no harm is a quick update. But, any version from 5.0.16 and up, can migrate to IoP. I believe there can be some issues with some Polyglot nodes if moving from older versions of ISY on the 994. I didn't have any, so moved right from 5.0.16. * Orest

IANAE, but here are the physical layers for Matter ... Ethernet (LAN, a wired internet connection) Wi-Fi (WLAN) Thread (a wireless mesh network) Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for setup only So, it doesn't define a new framework, it uses those that are now in existence. And Wifi is definitely in. It is an IP over xyz type construct. It's earlier name was CHIP, connected home over IP. * Orest

@gadgetfreak A bad reputation? How so? Here was your post ... That would make me sad, who wouldn't be sad by that. It is not that likely, but would be real frustrating! But, I can remove that reaction token, if you wish. * Orest

@MJsanA lot of information in the Polisy & IoP and 700 section. I made a couple of posts, I just recently moved 994 -> Polisy/IoP and added in some ZWave. It all works well. Making the move all at once, actually makes it a lot easier. * Orest

Was the issue reception, from inside of the box? If so, I guess you could put it on the outside top, perhaps a bit "ugly". Which window sensor did you end up using, the ZSE41? * Orest

Thinking of getting one, to monitor the activity at a mailbox with a vertical swinging door. https://www.getzooz.com/zooz-zse43-tilt-shock-xs-sensor/ Looks to be right up to date, 700 series and all. There was this cautionary note at the supplier ... ------ Beta release: you may need to update the firmware in the near future to get full functionality of your device; the device may not be fully compatible with your hub at the time of this release. ------ Anyone got and installed one of these, to work with the Polisy/700 dongle? * Orest

Where was that posted? * Orest

Really? Interesting. But, from your link .. * Orest

So, it now works with .18, and .17, or only .18? * Orest

Setting time backwards may cause PG3 to stop updating until the next day (or it's restarted). ... from the notes on PG3. Does that include the time set back that occurs in the Fall with the move to standard time from summer daylight saving time? * Orest

Believe it is 2026.

Well, that was simple. GFCI is the issue. Now, I knew that a GFCI module would stop power line X-10 & Insteon signals, I had just forgotten that the outlet in question was on a GFCI circuit. When I put the unit back in its old outlet and it worked fine there, the mystery started to unravel. Problem solved, the X-10 chime will continue ding-donging. * Orest

OK, so it should work. Certainly the statements are still there in the AC. Will continue to investigate. It may well be that the hardware has finally failed, although it does ding-dong when you first plug it in. Thanks. * Orest

Do I remember correctly, that X-10 support has been removed from IoP? I still have an ancient X-10 ding-donger, which no longer works on IoP. I replaced its function with a cool Ecolink chime/alarm, but wanted to use this guy as an ancillary patio/outside alert. * Orest

A failing SD card would be my first thought, but you've already replaced your card once. Very uncommon, but you might be having a 994 hardware failure. OK, one long shot, do you have any ports open externally at your router, in particular any that allow UDP packets? ISY 994 network operations can be hung by flooding with junk UDP packets coming in through any open port. I got hit with that once, although it was a slightly different issue. Otherwise (or IAC), you should open up a ticket with UD. They respond quickly. * Orest

Here is a pretty good place for that. Do some searches on 2413 or PLM, and all kinds of threads will pop up. There may be a PLM Pro in the future from UDI, but that hinges on SH closing procedures. If your PLM is older than v2.4 (certainly v2.3), then it is more at risk. But, the current PLM is repairable, there are a number of DYI cheatsheets, but also some contractors that do that as well. Aside from the power line modem, of course no other Insteon devices are likely to be available for replacement/extension in your network. Some are migrating to Z-Wave using the Polisy device (the "new" ISY994), for a mixed setup, keeping the old running fine, using Z-Wave for new stuff. Welcome, and dig in! * Orest

Unlike with INSTEON devices you need to set config parameters. The AC won't do the work for you like with a 2477D. And even then from what I can see, you still need to set ramp up targets with the Zooz switches in the ISY command. * Orest

Yes, see my immediately preceeding post! * Orest

If you don't have a working PLM attached, and you have Insteon selected on the configuration, you will get an error (can't swear it is precisely this one, but probably is) when trying to switch to the Program page. * Orest

@KRushThe PLM functioning was just explained upthread. The "solution" (and problem) that I was referring to.... First, the problem ... PLMs are kind of the weak link currently with Insteon, as they tend to fail (especially older design ones), and of course, now, no new ones are being manufactured. Some time ago UDI developed a PLM Pro device, that sidestepped the issues of the SmartHome original 2413/12 family of PLMs. Unfortunately UDI was denied access to the proprietary chips from SH, so they could not manufacture them. There is a chance that the chips might become available, or at least the chip's IP, if so UDI could potentially produce a PLM Pro. The much better ways to control your Insteon devices is with a Polisy box (or its prior cousin the ISY 994), but these both require a PLM for Insteon. However, these devices can control much more using something called PolyGlot, and with the addition of Z-Wave boards to the devices. More funny acronyms! PolyGlot is a framework bridge that lets the UDI devices communicate with a very diverse range of devices, networks and software. PolyGlot is hosted and included in the Polisy box, easy to set up and use. But, for the geeks, it could be hosted in any simple Linux box as well, like a Raspberry Pi device. Z-Wave is an alternative family for home automation, that is completely radio frequency. Some are looking to it now, to complement their Insteon setups, and allow for future functional expansion, as new Insteon devices are unlikely to be produced. * Orest

In my view, I think it is very unlikely that you will ever see the Insteon hub servers (with required cloud access) in operation again. There are much better ways to control Insteon devices, the issue for you would be getting hold of a PLM. But, for that, there may be solution on the horizon. * Orest

OK, went into the OW node, and clicked Load Profile. There was no alert or announcement, and the button stayed pushed, BUT on refresh of the AC I now see what you have depicted. So fixed. Thanks. * Orest

OK, so Node server Online shows 1 now. However, doing an IF statement in ISY, only allows for % on that field, namely 0%, 1% & 2%. Ignoring that it is %, and just testing against 1% (or 0%), doesn't test as TRUE/FALSE. Now, that might be an ISY thing, but this isn't working yet. * Orest

All devices, not just 2477D units? Some years ago I went through and compared all the DEVICE and ISY links tables, for every device. I found quite a few (~20%) had disparities. I restored all those devices. Guess they go farkled gradually over the years. It would be nice to have an ISY function that can skip through all of your devices, make that comparison in batch, and then issue a report. * Orest
