ISY 994i Communications
Thanks for your help. I was turning the on/off and off/on at the switch. However, I can also turn on/off and off/on via MobiLinc and the admin console. The status indication will not necessarily change on MobiLinc or the admin console despite the switch actually changing from on/off or off/on. I will power down all devices that have noise filters as a start to test noise. Any idea why I can't get the wireless on/off switches such as the garage door to activate on the admin console or MobiLinc?

ISY 994i Communications
I have a mixed situation. Some switches properly display the status on both the Admin console and MobiLinc. Other devices are MobiLinc only. Some devices are neither MobiLinc or admin console. I just ran a test on a wall switch. It was off, turned on and the status showed correctly on MobiLinc and admin console. Turned off and both MobiLinc and admin console show the switch still on. I have not added any electronic devices in the house. All of my typical "noise" devices are connected to Insteon filters.

ISY 994i Communications
The Query at Restart was checked. In the past my on/off switches would reconnect once I open/closed the door or pushed the button on the switch. Now neither situation will ping the ISY.

ISY 994i Communications
Update completed. The status on the switches still does not update to reflect current on/off status. I also have no connection to the wireless switches such as on/off switches and leak detectors. The leak detectors are dead on all indicators on/off/heartbeat. The leak sensors and switches do not register when I manually activate the button on the devices.

ISY 994i Communications
I also have lost all status indication on leak sensors (wet/dry/heartbeat) and all wireless devices such as open/close sensors. 24 hrs has past since I unplugged the ISY so I would expect heartbeats to renew. My open/close sensors are on garage doors that have been operated several times since I unplugged the ISY.

ISY 994i Communications
Using ISY 994i, MobiLinc Connect for years. All Insteon system. My devices no longer update their status on MobiLinc Connect. All devices are working properly and will respond when using MobiLinc or the wall switches. I have unplugged the ISY and did not resolve the problem. Next steps? Thanks for all suggestions.

Insteon 8 button keypad 2334-2
I replaced an 8 button keypad with another 8 button keypad. The original keypad was no longer functioning. I used the sub menu under the original keypad (button A) to replace the original with the new keypad. The new keypad recorded the 8 buttons as separate devices rather than showing the device as button A and then having the other 7 buttons as a sub menu hidden under the listing of button A. How can I rectify the problem? I don't want to delete the new device(s) because of the amount of linking, etc. that will be required. I have a backup of the ISY prior to the replacement of the keypad.

Alexa sees multiple device names
Following a power outage, Alexa no longer can control my lights because it detects multiple devices with the same name. I have used the Alexa for several years. I have made no changes to the device list and have operated without issues. I used MobiLinc Connect/ISY I have taken the following steps; Unplugged modem, unplugged ISY, unplugged Alexa, unplugged WiFi, removed and reloaded the app, disabled/enabled skill, removed all devices and rediscovered all devices (via desktop, via app, and rediscovered via Alexa). All of the devices are discovered and listed by Alexa on the app and alexa.amazon.com. There is no duplication of device names. Some examples of device names that contain common elements are Family room ceiling Family room table lamp Kitchen Kitchen table Again, these are not new device names. They have been in my list for several years and worked without any issues. Alexa responds to all other command functions such as time, weather, questions, etc. Any additional suggestions?

Delete Insteon Leak Detector
During a recent remodel, the contractor tossed one of my Insteon Leak Detectors. It was a recent version with the heartbeat/on/off nodes. I want to delete the detector from my list, however, the ISY requests that I activate the sensor in order to delete it from my list. I am operating from the ISY Admin Console with the current ISY software. How can I work around the need to activate the sensor since I no longer have it available?

Auto DR Scene
I have a scene titled Auto DR. It may be an artifact of some mistake that I made years ago, however, I have no idea of why it is on my ISY network list. The scene contains no devices. I have attempted to delete the scene and I get a simple error message which states "request failed". Is this scene mean anything and if not, how can I delete it?

Insteon 8 button keypad Noise
The lights are dimmable. I have them installed in other rooms with the same 8 button keypad without any issues. The buzz comes from the dimmer itself. I would guess that it is the electronics.

Insteon 8 button keypad Noise
I have an Insteon 8 button keypad connected to 4 Cree LED Retrofit downlights. My keypad has a audible buzz/noise. The sound level will somewhat diminish as I lower the light from 100% to 50%. Is there anything that I can do to eliminate or significantly reduce the sound at the higher light levels?

ISY Portal/Geo Fencing/Locative App
Has anyone used Geofency with the ISY Portal? Is it worth the $2.99?

ISY Portal/Geo Fencing/Locative App
I want to use the Locative app for geo fencing but have had problems making it operate. It appears that "help" in Locative is only available via Twitter or Facebook, neither of which I use. I am wondering if anyone can possibly help me get it operational. I have followed the instructions on the wiki to establish the keys. In the Locative app I copied the trigger keys into the proper arrival and departure "post" entry points. Both the triggers were turned on. I turned on HTTP Basic Authentication and added by username and password. For my global HTTP Setting I entered URL https;//www.my.isy.io Set it as a Post, turned on Http Basic Authentication and added my username and password. As I depart and reenter the geo fence I receive the following message; POST Failure: No readable response received. I also receive the same failure notice when I run a test request from the setting page. Any help is appreciated.

Under Cabinet LED Strip
Would a FilterLinc 1626-10 help with #1 as described by Brian H?

Under Cabinet LED Strip
I am trying to resolve a couple issues with an under cabinet led strip. First, I had the strip (a dimmable type) plugged into an OutletLinc Dimmer - INSTEON 2472D. In the off mode, the strip would pulse on/off. I could turn it on with no problems. I then changed to an INSTEON Outletlinc 2473S On/Off Outlet. The llights will flicker, almost like a lightning flash when in the off position. The led strip is 6' long. Finally, last night I plugged the led into the lower, non-controlled outlet on the 2473S. I don't know if it is a coincidence but I lost communications with a number of devices on both phases in my house. I had to manually reset one of the 2477 dimmers in order to get it to respond to the ISY. Questions: 1. Any idea what is the cause of the problems with the 2472D or 2473S? 2. Is it likely that the problems with the devices last night was caused by noise from the led?

A failure to communicate
I changed out the 2476 dimmer for a new 2477 and all is well Thanks to everyone for your help.

A failure to communicate
I am taping the Mobilinc paddle. I have also tried the scene icon and still do not obtain consistent actions. One of the dimmers is powering the lights. This dimmer has been installed for 7 yrs. I added a second dimmer last week to enable light control from across the room. It is the new dimmer that is problematic.

A failure to communicate
I have the 2 dimmers set up in a scene. I get the same results when I used the scene button on MobiLinc Pro to turn on/off the scene. The LED on both dimmers will move up/down each time I activate the scene button. The access point will "flash" for each signal. The room light will not always respond on/off. The response is erratic.

A failure to communicate
I have had a 2476D v.37 controlling room lighting. No issues for the past 3-4 years. - Call this Dimmer #1 Today, I added a 2477D v.44 dimmer to provide a secondary position in the room to control lighting. -- Call this Dimmer #2 When I remotely (via iPhone/MobLinc Pro) turn on Dimmer #1, the LED bar moves upward on both dimmers and the light will turn on/off. When I remotely (via iPhone/MobLinc Pro) turn on Dimmer #2, the LED bar move upward on both dimmers and the lilght will turn on. When I attempt to turn off via Dimmer #2, the LED on both dimmers will slide downward but the light remains on. When I operate either dimmer directly via the paddle switch, the operate without fail. I placed an extra access point near dimmer #2 to determine if I could improve communications. I see the LED on the access point flash for all of the combinations noted above, however, dimmer #2 will still fail to turn off the light. Again, the LED on the dimmer switch will respond properly to on/off commands, but the light will not turn off. Any suggestions?

Mobilinc Connect
I went to File|Enable Internet Access and got a Failure message. I do not see a File|Disable Internet Access choice. My router is a Cisco Linksys EA 4500. It is setup at UPnP enabled. Attached is a screen shot of my admin console so you can see the current settings. Unfortunately, I posted my original message twice, once here and again in another forum. In the other forum I was advised to set the ISY IP outside the router's range which I have now completed. My screen admin console attachment shows the old IP address which was inside the router range of xxx.xxx.x.1-.149. My new setting is xx.xxx.x.150

Mobilinc Connect
ISY 994I, 4.2.18 Mobilinc Pro 4.1.10 iPhone 5 Whenever my internet connection goes down and restarts, I regain my wifi connection but cannot communicate to the ISY via Mobilinc Connect. In order to regain connection I have to manually unplug the router and ISY. Any suggestions on how to resolve the issue so that I regain Moblinc communications after a resumption of internet service?

Power Outage
I have not represented the facts about the ISY power correctly. The ISY is getting power via the wall plug and the power adapter which comes with the 994i. I was under the impression that I could not use the UPS backup as a power source for the ISY. Is this correct?

Power Outage
I have reviewed my settings and find that I am on a static IP address (automatic box NOT checked). Any other ideas are certainly welcome.
