no clue

I think I have everything set up correctly to control my devices and scenes with my voice but I have a couple of problems. Alexa will turn on or off scenes and devices. I have enabled both mobilinc custom skills and mobilinc smarthome skills. I received an email notification that refreshing devices was complete. 1. I followed the instructions for creating custom responses by creating a folder in the program tree called Voice. I moved a program into that folder called bathroom hallway lights (bathroom hallway lights are on). I refreshed devices but when I say "alexa, tell mobilinc to run program bathroom hallway lights, it responds with "I am unable to run the scene bathroom hallway lights, can I help you with anything else?". 2. This is probably related to the first question but when I look in the alexa app, I see a lot of devices but no scenes appear under its heading. Also, I don't see programs listed anywhere unless they are piled into the devices. Thanks

I tried gmail and that worked first time. Thanks!

I had a recent heat pump thermostat issue that caused the emergency heating to come on and heated my room >125 degrees F. I want to set up an alert that will notify me if the heat exceeds 90 degrees. I am unable to get this to work using the email notification on my ISY 994. I checked the smtp settings (I have Cox email) and have tried the recommended port settings for TLS checked and also for the unchecked option. I have tried my username only as well as the full email address. With TLS checked, I get a mail server failure (EHLO timed out). With it unchecked, I don't get an error message but don't receive any notification when I test it. Any ideas?

I read the wiki upgrade process and restore modem process but I am unsure of the sequencing. I think I may have been having issues with the old plm and decided it was a good time to upgrade everything. I could communicate with the isy but I couldn't use the admin console to turn lights on and off, etc. I have unplugged both the old isy and plm. If I understand it correctly, it would be best to 1. plug in the new 994 and plm and restore my backup to the new 994. 2. restore plm once the new 994 is up and running Is this correct?

They are actually on two different panels. They are the same age and approximate use so I thought failing bulbs was the most likely cause. It just seems way too premature for them to fail after a year. They are rated for at least 10 times as long as they have been in use.

I purchased 4 of the Insteon LED bulbs about a year or so ago. Out of all of the insteon devices I have, they have been the quirkiest as far as following their respective program instructions, etc. They probably turn on or off correctly about 90% of the time via the program on my ISY99i. A couple of weeks ago, 3 out of the 4 started flickering when turned on and stay that way until the program turns them off at surnrise. The light output is very small and only visible when dark. Is this a sign of the bulb failing or is something elsw going on?

No apologies needed. All of it is actually helpful with regard to programming. Starting from scratch, I have learned quite a bit about the actual wiring of the various switches. The programming is a whole different ball of wax and while it seemed logical at first glance, I have run into problems along the way and all of the discussion is very helpful in putting the pieces together. Now, I'm just waiting for Monday to come along to get the first real test of the program.

I think I have it and it makes sense to me. Thanks for your help as always.

I changed the rate and then added a "then" action to turn on the scene. I removed the "else" statement. At this point, should I create a second program to turn off the scene at 9am?

I have tried a couple of different ways to set this up without success. I would like to gradually ramp up the light in her room to full brightness over 9 mintutes starting at 6:21 am every morning M-F. I attached a screenshot of the current program. It seems simple to me but I am missing something.

Thanks Lee I didn't know the 2474D switch existed. I'll give it a try.

Thanks all I don't know for sure that the hot wire comes directly from the panel and probably misspoke. There are definitely other lights/receptacles on the circuit. I may try to take out the box for the sconce and replace it with a deeper one so I can fit an inline linc. The LED bulb wouldn't be an option for the new sconces I have on order. They take a decorative small profile bulb. Xanthros - I feel your pain. I have learned a lot replacing all of the switches and receptacles in the house with Insteon stuff but each switch seems to throw me a new issue. I haven't run across any 2 way, 3 way, 4 way, and yes, even a 5 way switch that was wired correctly. They all require their own secret combination to operate .

I figured it out. My IP address from my internet provider apparently changed. Plugged in the new one and everything looks good.

I was going to add an insteon dimmer switch to a light sconce and ran into this situation. It appears the hot wire coming from the panel comes into the sconce box (shown in pic) instead of the switch box. In the attached photo, the bare black wire is hot. The bare neutral wire was attached to the hot wire and brought the power to the switch. I believe the black capped wire is the load wire coming from the switch. There are only 3 wires coming into the switch box; the white (hot) wire, the black (load), and the ground. The round box for the sconce is very shallow and I'm not sure I could fit an inline linc switch without some modification.

I lost the ability for Mobilinc Pro on my iphone to communicate with my ISY-99i a couple of months ago.I finally have time to try to address it. When I go in devices on mobilinc pro, I get a blank screen. I attempt to sync and the app eventually times out. today I upgraded my ISY-99i from 3.2.5 to 3.3.3 to see if that would help but it didn't. I haven't changed any of the settings either on the ISY-99i or Mobilinc pro. Mobilinc is unable to sync even when home connected to my network. Any ideas of what I can try?
