Shure, One of my post stated : Factory version v2.7.15 ISY PRO IR Where can I find the additionnal information you need?

SUCCESS!!! I guess this is a fixed bug in a newer version, but if anyone get into this problem.. I found another folder that had the same id lenght (5 digit) in my case it was 24463 witch is the same lenght as on of the two bugging folder (53724) I extracted the main zip, and the child zip (the backup is two zip one in the other) I modified my 127.und to put 24463 instead of 53724 after the @ saved the file, push it back to the child zip, then push back the child zip in the parent zip.. then restored to ISY.. Oufff! a big thanks to ISY conceptor for creating a backup system that can be edited!! Lesson learned: I'll backup my ISY each time I modify it Now I can go enjoy the sun outside

I think I found the bug..! The two folder who disapeared are "0e" and "SousSol" Here is what I found in the UND files: File 157.und: ID: 53724 Text: SousSol ParentID: @499 File 127.und: ID: 499 Text: 0e ParentID: @53725 My device 106.und called "SousSol Piece" (the one i was dragging before I mist click and dragged the folder 0e to sometwhere) point to parrent 53724 I think actually that I dragged a parent folder to it child folder, witch gave me this cycle of referance.. I also found two device nod pointing to the folder 53725 Look like both node are referring each other as parent.. I will try to change the parent value of one of them to point to another directory and restore it to my ISY..

When i'm in an insteon action of a program, I can browse the list of device, it look like all my devices and folder are there, except the two folder I was working with, but the device I was moving/renaming are there outside the folders.. I just did a ISY Backup (okay I should have tried that option BEFORE screwing up :S) And I opened a few UND files.. look like they represent every nodes ( FOLDER and DEVICE) of my setup.. is there a way to know WITCH one is FAILING? so I could try to correct it manually? Or is there documentation on how device are stored? I could code a lilittle C++ app to check the integrity of the device tree. What are the Rec files for ? D2D folder look like all my program so at least if I need to factory reset my ISY I could import my PGM files from this backup to another one and restore it.. What Happen if I Remove bunch of UND files and Restore it ? is there an Index somewhere? or Could I try restoring them 1 by 1 until I find the one that screw up? Ohh and in case this matter I'm running the factory version v2.7.15 ISY PRO IR

I just added a new Switch.. added the device to the ISY.. and I was draging the device to a 'folder'.. I accidently clicked and dragged something to something in the device list.. and the folder I was working on just disapeared.. I tought it was just a display problem so I closed the windows, and when i tryed to re-open it ISY just hang there.. I tryed to PING the ISY IP and it was dead so I power off/on the ISY.. I can now connect to it, I can browse the Scene,Program page but when I go th device page it just crash there or stay empty.. when I go in program and craete a new program I can still see the device list in the dropdown but I can't see my device treeview.. when I try to go on the device tab in the java admin app it keep empty, and when I try to go on the device webpage device it just crash there and keep unresponding.. I had a issue-free setup for the past few month.. I don't really know the way to 'diagnostic' isy problem.. Now what can I do?.. How do I don't loose those tondz of hours I passed configuring my ISY ?? Thanks..

Thanks for your fast suggestions I wouldn't had tought about that one by my self I just bought one over Ebay and will Try that out asap hope it will do the job

I just installed some UnderCounter light in my Kitchen that I wanted to control with a Plug-In module via a KeyPad I have a non-dimming plug-in module (2856S3B) that is driving my Undercounter LED Lights (a Transformer).. I have weird issue with it. the first time I switch it On/Off, it light ON correctly, and go off correctly.. But after a few times, when I try to turn it on, it go ON for half a second and then turn off and don't reply anymore. Whatever command I send it it dosn't reply, it even get a "!" in the ISY Web UI.. the only way I can 'unfreeze it' is to UNPLUG the Plug-In module from the power source and plug it back.. It will start working for a few times and freeze again after a few attempt... I tried to control it via a KeyPad and Directly in the Web Gui of the ISY99, same issue.. I got no experience with debugging Insteon Devices, all the other part of my Insteon Setup was working flawlessly.. Any suggestion how I can Understand the cause of this instability and fix it ? Thanks

Maibe it's already in the Version 3, but would it be possible to have a Program List Organised displaying their parent Folder just like when Listing the Scenes or Devices? thanks

How much Time before V3 become a Release Version? a few week or many month? Thanks

This is an easy one.. I have an existing KeyPad configured in 6 key mode, I want to change it for 8 Key Mode. How will ISY handle this change? do I need to Unlink the Keypad before and relink it after? Do I Need to remove it from every scene before? Or can I simply change it and ISY will find the additional Button ? I never removed or changed a device, so I want to be sure I don't break anything.. Thanks

I think this is possible by having a bunch of program to Remember the State of the previous Dim Intensity.. example: Program State00-10 Program State10-20 Program State20-30 [etc] Program State90-100 these program are empty, they just remember the True/False value to keep in memory the last value.. they keep TRUE when they are called directly to the 'then' and they keep FALSE when they are called directly to the 'else'.. you have a bunch of program that set the state when the value changes: Program SetState10-20 if device dimlevel > 10 and <20> 20 and < 30 then //Set all the State to False run State00-10 (else) run State10-20 (else) [etc] //call the good one to true run State20-30 (then) and then when you turn the device back on: Program OnState10-20 if device=turn on and State10-20=true then device.dimlevel = 15% Program OnState20-30 if device=turn on and State 20-30=true then device.dimleve = 25% it's a BUNCH of program but yes it should be possible.. Note that this is Pseudo Code to reflect the General Idea.. it`s not working code..

Oh.. that's nice to know.. But I don't know If I could set a scene that would set the same dim level to the receiver.. But I'll go with the single module solution

Yeah the big thing was to be able to use the 'slide dimmer' in EK-ISY.. I think I'll go with the common module with an extention..

KeyPad, ISY, and EK-ISY

LOL!.. Huh.. Yeah I guess that could be a wockaround.. but they are each their side of the room and it would be nicer to not have a power wire all around the bed.. I'll keep that one in head do!

Hi, probably this question was asked before but with all the thread I read (many hours of interesting reading trust me) I didn't find something that explained this.. I have two light each side of my bed, that I would like to always match, always be "on" together, always be "off" together, and always be at the same dim level (this is the tricky part).. I created a Scene with the both in it, when I want to open them I send the scene on, when I want to shut them off I send the scene off.. but the is no convenient way to set the dimming level, yes I can use the 'DIM' and 'BRIGHT' button, but I would like to have direct access to the level just like if I control them individually.. also theses 'bright' and 'dim' button are very unprecise, going on by shot of 22%.. I tried to do a Scene to match A to B using one as a controller and the other one as a responder, so I would just control one and the other one would auto match, but it look like 2856D2B cannot be a controller.. Sure I could do a program, when the first one change, adapt the second one, but First it will introduce a Delay, and Second , I'll need to think of a way to take the dim value of A and send it to B without variable and without doing 100 program for each %.. but anyway, I want them to be syncronized so they dim together in a nice way, so a Program is not a good option here I think.. I would like in my ISY Interface and in my Iphone EK-ISY to have a Dim Slide that control them both at the same time, not press 'bright' and 'dim' about 3-4 time' and those bright and dim button are not very precise.. Also when I use them in a Program I need to program them both for the % of brighness, I can't just call the scene and send it that value.. If I understand well, a Controler for a scene can set a specific value for each lamp, but the scene itself can't receive a specific value from a caller without creating many scene for each brightness level.. So Anyway, I already realised that Insteon Programming and ISY often require to think outside the box to get something to work like you want it to, I'm sure someone had this issue before and I'm looking for ideas of how you manage (or would manage) a such situation. Thanks
