I logged into the Orbi with safari and found the IP. When I type it in (sometimes I leave out /desc and other times I keep it in at the end) It says Not Found I have a Mac. I can’t get anything running to do a reformat or anything you are correct
-
Responses have been spotty. I think they are probably piled on with work. Usually they are on it fast. And its a holiday weekend (here at least) As it stands now I have no functionality with the ISY. No programs or timers work. Voice commands through Alexa don't work. I can shut off lights with the device itself. I cant find the ISY in the Launcher so I cant reformat an SD card. I don't know if its the SD card or maybe the PLM. If its the PLM I'm stuck as Insteon is no longer. I know I was told to wait for Michel to get back to me and if thats the answer I get here that's fine. I'm just hoping to get something back online. Drew

I have the ticket open with Michel. We were going back and forth but we’ve stalled. Not a jab at all. I know he’s busy. I have no control over timers or anything or voice control. Hahaha how helpless I’ve become in my own home. Thank you for the help

When i put in the new SD I try to Telnet and I get this -bash: telnet: command not found and the Launcher doesn't see any ISY. (regardless if I Add its IP) When I put in the old SD the Launcher finds the ISY but then crashes so I seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place... Drew If its my PLM am I screwed because Insteon is kaput? (not sure how to check if its my PLM)
-
After some messing around I got the ISY IP address. I had the GUI open and everything seemed okay then the GUI stopped altogether. This is what I have on my ISY now. I'm going to try another SD and see if I can restore my back up (previous back up was done before all these issues) Drew
-
Power light is on. No warning lights
-
Actually neither have come up with an address for the ISY so now I'm twiddling thumbs. Any advice on what to do next would help greatly.
-
I'm in my router where the IPs are but theres nothing that says ISY. All are identifiable (Echo, Apple TV, etc) except two. One has the name --- and the other is Tuya Would it be ---? By the way Telnet (using Terminal) finds nothing and tells me Command Not Correct or something like that.
-
I've followed all the steps but now with the new SD card installed it the Launcher cant find my ISY. I've typed in the URL and it still says not found. Clearly I've missed something? Drew
-
Michel says the SD card is corrupt so I'm going to change it. I'm reading the manual at https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1665223/Universal-Devices-Isy-994i.html?page=656#manual I'm a little nervous as it says... IMPORTANT - Formatting your SD card should only be done after consulting with support!! I have an SD card and a back up and the latest version 4.9 on my desktop. The picture shows an old 99 and I'm assuming the SD card goes in the front of my 994i where it says MicroSD (I'm also assuming I unplug everything beforeI pull the old SD card out and insert the new one...) I then log on to my ISY GUI and manually upgrade. Then I restore from my backup and all should be good? If I've missed something please let me know. Drew
-
Thank you. I'll do that right now Drew
-
The firmware is 4.9.0 and it matches the UI While trying to do a backup I got an error message "Could Not Receive File/CONF/DISCLAIM.UDI" Not sure if that's relevant. This morning I set the time to Toronto again and when I re-opened the GUI it was LA time again. Drew
-
This happened a few months back. I thought my timers weren't working but it turned out they were, but only on LA time three hours late. I knew what the issue was this time so no big deal but I'm wondering why it happened again. We might have had a power outage I didn't know about (thats what I attributed the last one to) Is there a lithium battery I should be changing? Drew
-
I have a program now that is essentially the ISY turning on a night scene. I'm looking for a light that will integrate into that scene as opposed to having to tell Alexa to turn on the scene and then turn off the stove light. I believe I can combine the two into an Alexa routine but I'm not sure I want to do that as the Night Scene works perfectly.
-
Sorry for the delay in response. I have the ISY 994i and the ISY portal. I'm not familiar with the Node server. I'm assuming thats something extra I don't have. The bulb is a regular bulb that has a dedicated switch on and off. If I take the light out and put it back in its still on. So I'm assuming most lights would work? I'm just looking for one that I can integrate with my insteon/ Alexa voice commands
-
I want to be able to control the light bulb above my stove (in the fan) Its 830 lumens right now so I'm assuming 800 lumens is bright enough to see what's happening on the stove. I have Alexa in the house for voice commands. Ideally I'd like voice control, dimmable, and have it change colours. I see a lot of them out there but I have no idea what's good. I read communication issues etc. I'd also like to be able to integrate it into scenes/programs in the ISY. Am I asking too much? Drew
-
Back up and running. Thanks guys. Drew
-
I have the shortcut but it does nothing. I'm assuming it was because I updated Java (something I never do for reasons such as this) Is it as easy as redownloading and starting again? Or am I screwed? Drew

Certain devices sometimes ask a different question
andrew77 replied to andrew77's topic in Amazon Echo
Thank you thank you This has fixed the problem 100% I can say "Turn on Uppers 20%" and Alexa asks about Smart life I say Set Uppers 20% (or any percentage) right after and she does it perfectly. -

andrew77 replied to andrew77's topic in Amazon Echo
Thanks for the tips. I did find the page you mentioned. IT said "Alexa didn't understand the question" or statement. Should I contact Amazon? Or do I fix it somehow on my end? -
First off, I apologize for the vague title, I didn't know exactly how to describe my issue in the title. When I tell Alexa to "Turn on Uppers 20%" she sometimes says "You have Smart Life enabled. Do you want to Open it?" If I ask to "Turn on Uppers" usually that works fine. This only happens with the uppers and the Sink devices in the Kitchen. Other times she just does what she's asked and I cant pin down any differences in situations for the differing outcome. I have a SmartLife device that turns on a water tap for the outbuildings but I believe that's it. Everything else is Insteon Any thoughts would be great. This has happened for a while and I've tried to trouble shoot it but with no luck Drew

Hi guys, just giving this topic a bump in hopes to get some help. -

Just tried it. Same result. The KPL in question doesn't light even though its in all the scenes and seemingly correctly set up. What should my next step be?
