Okay, did a Restore of my 18 yr old 2412S PLM. The address of the deleted device no longer appears in the links table, as expected. What I didn't expect is the number of links increased from 331 to 347. I don't need an explanation, it's just interesting. I still intend to replace it with my new 2413S PLM. Probably tomorrow. I'll use the procedure provided by Techman. Thank you for that!

IndyMike, What you're doing is interesting, but way past my understanding. I do have a couple questions. 1. Your screenshot of your links table is quite different than mine. Looks like a spreadsheet view where you have the filter buttons at the top. Mine looks like: 2. When I save the table I get a pdf file that doesn't make any sense to me. 3. Link 325 (71.22.A6) is the device that I deleted. 4. About a week ago my PLM Links Table had 418 Links. Today it shows 331 links. I didn't add or remove any devices. Why would the table change so much? Still haven't attempted replacing the PLM or Restoring it. May try the Restore first, maybe today.

Thanks IndyMike. I will look for the "22". I have replaced quite a few broken devices over the last years, but never have I done a PLM Restore. That might clear up a few other communications issues I'm having (hence deciding on a new PLM). I will try that before I replace the PLM and see what happens. But I'll have to do that tomorrow as I've run out of time today. Thanks everyone for your help!

The device was not removed from the old PLM. Haven't tried switching to the new one yet. Thanks for moving my query, I'm not fluent on what the IoX is.

I was having trouble adding/programming a new "Dimmer Keypad, 6-Button,2334-232" to my eisy. From other contributors I hear this is really a 5 button device, which is why a 6-button isn't listed in the Add Device Table. I find that really confusing, but that's not my question. I am going to replace my 18 year old PLM 2412S with a new PLM 2413S and decided to Delete the 2334-232 and try adding it again with the new PLM. I ran a PLM Links Table and was surprised that the Insteon address of the device still appeared in the PLM even though I Deleted it from eisy. Is that correct, addresses don't get removed from the PLM when a device is deleted from eisy? Thanks for your Thoughts.

@Techman Hadn't tried rebooting, don't know why I didn't think of that. Since I have the Serial PLM that powers the ISY I figured I could reboot by unplugging the PLM, wait a little while, then plug it back in. OMG!! That fixed it! Now I'm getting tons of stuff in my Event Viewer. My IOLincs are working right! My Motion Detectors are working! THANKYOU! THANKYOU! THANKYOU!!! Seriously, Thank you for the help. All of you! -Tmc

*hear the relay

@Techman I have the IOLinc Option set for the Relay to track the contact state. I can here the relay toggle with opening and closing the door. In the ISY console neither the IOLinc Sensor or Relay show any change of state. Having said that, my Event Viewer doesn't seem to show any communications from any device in my house. Standard SwitchLinc Dimmers don't show up when activated. Is there some setting In the ISY firmware that got changed when I upgraded?

@Brian H Thanks for the suggestion, but I can see the LED turn on and off with closure and Opening of the contacts. The Mag Contact sensor wired to the IOLinc is on the door so easy to open/close door to test. The IOLinc was reporting status just fine for years until I upgraded from firmware 4.9 to 5.3.4 yesterday.

IOLincs are plug-in Modules. Did the Restore and it seemed to work as shown in the Event Viewer. But activation of the contacts afterward did not produce any captured events. Matter of fact, no events show up unless they're ISY sourced.

MrBill: Open the event viewer to level 3, and then cause motion. What's in the event viewer? On a quick test nothing appeared in the event viewer. Unfortunately I have to set this aside for a while. Will try that some more later today hopefully. Thanks!

This morning I followed the instructions in: 5.3.4 (Update) for ISY994 (July 30, 2021) By Chris Jahn, July 30, 2021 in Current Release Announcements to perform the manual upgrade again. Cleared Java cache and Apps and all that stuff. Didn't seem to change anything. Only difference was my userid and password were not reset and my programs were intact. Performed a factory reset on the Motion Detector, removed from ISY, reinstalled, did Write to device. I'm exhausted. Issues are: 1. IOLinc Status not reported (ie no change on ISY console Status even though device LED follows contact physical open/close). IOLinc #2450. 2. Motion Detector Status not reported (ie blank Status on ISY console even though LED on sensor blinks with motion). Motion Sensor 2842-222. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Tmc

Thank you both. Yes, I deleted Java cache and Apps and downloaded the latest Start JNLP file. So my Console and firmware match, 5.3.4. For the motion sensors, they didn't have the green 1011 icons, but I put them in set mode and did Write Updates. Didn't help. Even put them in set mode, deleted them from ISY, reinstalled them, wrote updates, etc. etc. All with no effect. What's odd is the status page is blank, doesn't show any status at all. I wonder if I don't have the correct firmware? From the forum ISY 994i Current Release Thread I downloaded "ISY 994i Series including Z-Wave support". I don't have Z-wave, but the only other choice says for non PLM. I have a PLM. I didn't unzip the file to install, just selected the .zip file. Maybe I'll try downloading again and install again. Thanks for your help!

Sorry I didn't help. There's a "My ISY" button on the UDI Home page. Maybe that would get you a matching version of the Admin Console. Otherwise hopefully someone more experienced can help you. Good luck!

Did you delete Java Apps too? Doing that dumps the ISY Finder App so you have to download a new one that matches your updated firmware.
