That may have been a type on my behalf but surprisingly, I get the exact same result/errors using http://isy.universal.devices.com/99i. I don't even know how different URLs can still resolve to the ISY admin console. Thanks, Rick

The URL the instructions say to use is: http://isv.universal.devices.com/99i Nothing IP address related in that URL. Rick

I don't have it handy as I'm at work but its the one in the instructions that come with the 994i Pro. its a longish URL ending with /99i Rick

I was trying to do those steps but being blocked by that java IO Exception error which I apparently blocking the login and restore actions. Rick

That sounds easy enough but when I swapped out the controllers, when I launch the admin URL and Java loads the java admin apps starts up but I don't get a login prompt. What I do see eventually are these two errors pop up: Socket open Failed java.io.IOException: A existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host and XML Parse Error I can't login or do a Restore operation. What does that error indicate? I can reproduce it every time. Thanks, Rick

I got the notice recently that the ISY99i Pro was being end-of-lifed. its been flawless for me but I upgraded to the new ISY994i Pro. It just arrived. How do I smoothly migrate all of my programming and INSTEON devices from the 99i Pro to the 994i Pro? Thanks! Rick

Over time I have seen a lot of degradation of the behavior of my INSTEON devices. SwichLinc LED lights are not properly reflecting lights being on or off when in 2-way and 3-way pairings and macros aren't being properly executed when pressing KeypadLinc buttons. The hardware still works and nothing has changed and all of my ISY programming looks intact. What is the best way in the admin console to have all of the programing and pairing refreshed to hopefully restore the proper functionality? Thanks, Rick

I have a security program that works quite well based on a button being On on an INSTEON keypadlinc keypad. It goes into effect when it detects that that button is pressed/On. Problem is when I return and toggle that button off the program keeps running. Here is the program: If From Sunset + 16 minutes To 11:11:00PM (same day) And Status '0F.15.D6.G - Secure Lights' is On Then Repeat Every 55 minutes Set 'Family Floods (0F.15.D6.1)' On Wait 11 minutes Set 'Family Floods (0F.15.D6.1)' Off Else Set 'Family Floods (0F.15.D6.1)' Off Any idea why when the status of Status '0F.15.D6.G - Secure Lights' changes to Off that the program would still run? Thanks! Rick

OK thanks for the help. I did the Write Updates to both the SwitchLinc and the KeypadLinc (by the way there is no relation between these 2 INSTEON devices) and I saw the System Busy/Progress bar as the ISY was being updated. After doing both writes the green flag still remains. Seems odd that both INSTEON devices are failing recently. Rick

I got my terms wrong, I pressed the set button (rececced button at bottom) to try and put it into linking mode. I never deleted the device from the ISY. I tried to do a restore but nothing seemed to happen in the admin console. I notice that SwitchLinc and a KeypadLinc have a green arrow to the left pointing at them. What does that mean? Thanks, Rick

I'll try the Restore but that sounds confusing since the Link Management/Start Linking task tells you to press the Set button for 3-5 seconds which is how I added all of my INSTEON devices in the first place. Thanks, Rick

Recently a pair of SwitchLinc dimmers that were linked stopped properly being controlled by my ISY-99. Once one of the SwitchLincs responds to On and Off commands. I tried resetting the misbehaving light and then tried to put it into Set mode to relink it but after holding the paddle down for 5-8 seconds it never goes into linking mode. Any idea what's gone wrong and any way to force it to go into linking mode? Thanks, Rick

Well its 9:34PM my time (EST) and definitely after sunset. The To/From time is: Main Hallway Program: If From Sunset + 10 minutes To 10:50:00PM (same day) Then Repeat Every 1 hour Wait 45 minutes (Random) Set Scene 'Main Hallway' On Wait 10 minutes Set Scene 'Main Hallway' Off Else Set Scene 'Main Hallway' Off Shouldn't with this From/To setting that its in that time range and be active? Thanks! Rick

I changed the code for the parent folder from If Control XX = ON to If Status XX = On after doing a save and refresh now I do see the folder showing up with a status = True. All of the child program folders also show a status of ON. I don't see anything actually running yet though. I attached a screenshot to show the current status if that helps. Thanks, Rick

I'll check the firmware version when I get home. Regarding your comment about the status for the folder being ON, what does it mean if under the Status page you don't even see that folder shown? (Vacation Away Security Programs) I see all of the programs under that folder show up in status, just not the parent folder. Thanks, Rick

I checked status and the folder did appear to be on. Status didn't show a status for the folder itself (Vacation Away Security Programs) but rather for the items within that folder. I have a Keylinc button which I use to activate the program. The top level folder has this code behind it: Folder Conditions for 'Vacation Away Security Programs' Add conditions to limit when programs in this folder are allowed to run. If Control '0F.15.D6.G - Secure Lights' is switched On Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. Here are what some of the programs within that folder look like. These programs show a status of ON: Family Room Program: If From 4:05:00PM To 11:11:00PM (same day) Then Repeat Every 1 hour Wait 5 minutes (Random) Set 'Family Floods (0F.15.D6.1)' On Wait 10 minutes Set 'Family Floods (0F.15.D6.1)' Off Else Set 'Family Floods (0F.15.D6.1)' Off ----- Main Hallway Program: If From Sunset + 10 minutes To 10:50:00PM (same day) Then Repeat Every 1 hour Wait 45 minutes (Random) Set Scene 'Main Hallway' On Wait 10 minutes Set Scene 'Main Hallway' Off Else Set Scene 'Main Hallway' Off ------------------------------------------------ I found that code as suggested vacation logic on the Forum. Any way to make certain the code runs properly? Thanks! Rick

I created a folder under Programs for lights that I wanted to go on at set times when on vacation. I saved the programs and tried both having the folder active when a keylinc button was turned on as well as during certain times of the day but I don't ever see those programs run. Anyway to force the items in a Programs folder to be turned on? And how can I troubleshoot why they might not be turning on? Thanks! Rick

I have a RemoteLinc 2 (8 button) that has buttons that control several scenes. Some of the scenes are designed to toggle and others aren't. When I changed the value of one button (E) to be 8-Scene non-Toggle, that wiped out the custom renames I did for every button for that RemoteLinc 2 as well as changed ALL buttons to 8-Scene non-Toggle. What happened? The odd thing was that when I changed the selected button a dialog came up confirming that button would be changed, it didn't say all of them would be affected. Thanks, Rick

I ran the Restore Modem/PLM connand to try and rebuild the links to help restore state information but the command seems to complete instantaneously with no evidence that it did anything. Is it supposed to show any kind of progress when that command is run? Thanks, Rick

Hmm that woudl mean that a whole bunch of links are missing. I used the network view in teh admin console to see all status and any of the lights that say On if I turn them off using the light switches nothing happens. I power cycled the ISY99 box and restarted the consoel but I still dont see that state info being reflected. It definitely used to work. Very odd. Rick

Surprisingly even though all of the lighting buttons are working the Log at Level 3 only seems to be showing Setting the Time via NTP. I tried a number of INSTEON buttons and they were not being registered by ISY. What I noticed playing around with things is that if I control a light through the ISY admin console, the state change is noticed in the detail pane to the right of a switch and in the log, but if I use the physical SwitchLinc to turn on/off the light, the ISY console doesn't seem to register that state change even though the light does turn on or off. Why wouldn't using the hardware light switch be seen by the ISY admin console? Thanks, Rick

I created a simple test Program to watch when a SwitchLinc is turned on and then take a few actions. I have this program enabled and when I test this by turning on the SwicthLinc the program does not run. The ISY console status does show that the SwitchLinc is in fact ON. If I test the Then section of the program it definitely works. Here is the code: If Control 'Main Hallway Lights (garage)' is switched On Then Set 'Family Floods (0F.15.D6.1)' 20% Wait 10 seconds Set 'Family Floods (0F.15.D6.1)' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') What could be blocking the program from detecting when the light control is going on so that it can activate the actions? Thanks! Rick

Could you point me to more info on how to implement an ISY Program that can trigger on the Secondary button press and issue a device Off for the KeypadLinc primary button? Thanks, Rick

Ah I looked in the ISY My Lighting page and it shows the formware in HEX. I have an older KeypadLinc 8 that is v.2D but the one I am working with is v.40. So thats definitely new enough. Knowing that any idea how I can bring the lighting level for the primary load light down to 0% without getting the error? Thanks, Rick

The toogle feature, cleaned that up nicely thanks! I took off the faceplate and double checked and all I see on the front of the KeyLinc8 is this: 2486DWH8 5.9 1150 and also the voltage info engraved into the metal. I don't see anything else on the front that look like a firmware version. Would it be somewhere else? Thanks, Rick
