Great comments that have helped me immensely! I am the DIYer that installed and maintained the system so without a doubt it's all coming out. This house is in the $550K range, 2400 Sqft so Home Automation isn't expected or even found that often. Also, I can remember from other home selling that the relator never likes it when the seller talks to the buyer. It's best to remain out of the loop in most cases. So if it isn't something that can be maintained by local businesses it's best to get rid of it before hand.

Should I leave my ISY 994i Pro behind when I move or take it and the controllers with me? I'll just want to replace it all when I relocate. I'm just thinking that there aren't many homebuyers that are computer literate or interested enough to harness an ISY system. The Insteon lamp modules are simple to relocate but the 15 installed wall mount SwitchLincs and the Irrigation controller are a bit more involved. One thought I had was to replace the ISY with a Insteon Hub (Insteon Central Controller Hub, Compatible with Alexa, 2245-222) hoping that it works with the SwitchLincs and Irrigation. Does anybody have experience with moving and what did you do? Thanks, -phil

I started getting this error message lately after logging in to the Admin Console. Everything appears to be working okay. Any ideas as to what has happened?

Thanks, that would explain it.

Got an email the other day (20201129) from UDI Sales, Introducing UD Mobile for Android. UD Mobile - Apps on Google Play I thought i might give it a try on an old Verizon Android based tablet, model QMV7B, Android version: 4.4.2. The tablet is also known as an: Ellipsis 7. When I try to install from the play.google.com Install link it won't activate the Continue button and indicates: "No eligible devices for app install". I'm not an Android user so the Google Play Store is alien to me. I'm either doing something wrong or this tablet is too old. Any ideas? thanks, -phil

Yes, it is unchecked.

On 2nd look I see something that I've never used before. Those security instructions are referring to running the ISY Dashboard which I've never seen before. I've always used the Universal Devices Administrative Console. So I can run the dashboard and see the same Network configurations as in the instructions. The Client settings are Protocol: TLS 1.2 and Strength: All.

Changing the timeout didn't help. The security instructions you linked to appear to be outdated. They refer to firmware 4.5.4+ and I'm running 4.6.2 so the Network settings are in a different place. I find them on the Configuration/System page and there aren't any settings for Client and Server. You know better than I, but, I wouldn't expect those to come into play for just sending SMTP mail. Anyway, I don't see anything for HTTPS Client.

timeout is 1,000 ms. Not sure about the security settings for HTTPS client. I don't see anything for that in the ISY settings. Where do I find that?

Yes, there are many alternatives to Outlook.com. I'm currently using my own domain's email provider and it works fine, but, since retiring from my IT day job I'm trying to downsize and eliminate much of that work from my home perspective. I'm fazing out my domain so I needed a new email provider and looking at Outlook.com. I try to avoid anything Google. I thought that since all my other programs are working with the Outlook.com SMTP why shouldn't ISY.

I can't get email to send from the ISY994i using the same SMTP settings that I use from my email client. I'm getting a Mail server failure message [TLS negotiation failed]. If I uncheck to use TLS I get another Mail server failure message [unsupported authentication method]. I'm wondering if anyone else has been able to use Outlook.com with the ISY994i? The SMTP settings I'm using are; SMTP Server: smtp-mail.outlook.com Port: 587 thanks, -phil

I've just upgraded my 994i to the 4.3.26 version and I think Java also was recently updated to v8 update 65. I notice now when I run the Admin Console that a window opens up with the caption ISY Finder and then a 2nd window opens with the Admin console. What is the ISY Finder window? Should it stay open or can I close it? -thanks, -phil

So after some back work with Support the issue for me was resolved. The issue is that your BiPHY lamplinc has "sense" and thus a controller whereas the 2Pin is only a responder. We cannot replace these two with each other.... To recap. The newer Smarthome B2457D2 Lamplincs are responders and controllers whereas the older 2456D2 Lamplincs are just responders therefore the ISY can not perform a replace device with them. thanks to support for all the help.

Using that link didn't yield any different results. The 2456D2 still did not show the B2457D2 as a replacement device. I sent my backup file to support. thanks, -phil

The 2456D2 does not show up when right mouse clicking the B2457D2. See attached photo.

Well.... asking me for a screenshot of my 2457D2 revealed to me that it's actually labeled as a B2457D2. I have 4 of these devices in my system and they are all B's. From the Topology report they show up like this. (B2457D2) LampLinc BiPhy v.3B (B2457D2) LampLinc BiPhy v.41 Screen shot for one of them is attached. I took a screenshot for what I see when I do a replace device on the 2456D2 and you can see that the B2457D2 does not show up. You can see from the screen shots that the 2456D2 named; LR Table Lamp and the B2457D2 named OFP_Desk are both listed under My Lighting and are not in any folders. However, the B2457D2 is currently assigned to scenes. Could that be preventing it from showing as a valid replacement?

Yes that is the correct device. In fact, I have many old Insteon devices from SmartHome that have been in my system for years. I started incorporating them when Insteon came out and I replaced my X10 system. Hopefully the ISY software will do the replace device function with them. I'm fairly sure that when I added them ISY was able to detect the device type and configured it in the system appropriately. My ISY About screen is attached to this post, it is version 4.2.18. The ISY device type label as viewed for the device is also attached to this post. Here's the link that tshows the data sheet for this device on the SamrtHome web site. It's discontinued now. http://www.smarthome.com/insteon-2456d2-lamplinc-dimmer-2-pin.html

I'm having the same issue as Steve where I want to replace an older Lamplinc 2456D2 with the newer 2457D2 types. When using the Replace Device menu option the 2457 is not listed. I'm running version 4.2.18 ISY software. I'm not sure what is meant in the above post by "added with brute force"? I'm pretty sure I always add new devices thru the ISY "New Insteon Device" menu choice. Is there more information on this topic that can be posted or does this always require a support ticket? I was also curious on what would be the process of replacing a device manually, are there any shortcuts to use? thanks -phil

So I was able to add the 2843-222 to my existing network in the usual way by inputting the Insteon address value. As a test I wrote a short program to turn a light on and off depending on the state of the switch. My plan now is to mount it on the garage door so I can detect whether the door is opened or closed. -phil

Thanks. Call me stupid, I was looking right at it.

I have the ISY994i but this question probably applies to the 99i as well. Can I link this open/close sensor to my 994i network? It isn't labeled with an Insteon address and only describes how to link it to a responder. My goal is to have the 994i process the open and close signals from a program. thanks, -phil

That's perfect. I completely over looked the Repeat command in Actions. I kept mulling over something in the Schedule group and got stuck. thanks for the quick help. -phil

I have a couple ground fault circuits that have Insteon devices on them and other important equipment. These circuits are notorious for tripping durring times of high moisture. I'd like to receive a text message on my mobile phone when one of the circuits trips. I created a simple program that checks the response of an insteon device and then sends me a Verizon text if the response is false. How do I schedule that program to run on the hour or so? One of the circuits has the garage refrigerator on it and the other circuit is supplying power for the irrigation heat tape in the winter so I need to know when these circuits are tripped. Thanks, -phil
