@SSamuels Sometimes the easiest solution to try first is to go to the program, make any adjustment that will require re-saving the program. Try that before you get to involved in other solutions since you said that the MD is triggering and the program runs if yo manually run it. Similar to what @Techman suggested above but w/o the need to recreate the whole thing.

@GreyFox My launcher consistently does not have the correct paths showing up. I have two work arounds that save me a bundle of effort: 1) When local, I connect directly to the EISY w/o using the launcher. To set this up, go to http://<your eisy IP>:8080/admin.jnlp . This will automatically download a shortcut called admin.jnlp. Move this to your desktop. Single click on it will take you immediately to the sign in screen for your local admin / password. This is the ONLY way I sign in when local. Skips the whole clunky Finder step 2) When I am remote, I have to use the Finder, but it doesnt populate consistently or fully. So I manually added every URL that I have to connect to the Eisy, then hit SAVE. I saved this file in an easy location so that each time I open the Start.jnlp finder file, I then hit LOAD and navigate to the file I previously saved. It then "thinks" for about 15-30 seconds and then all my connection options load. Hope this helps!

@Maniacal611 Thanks for the information! Very helpful descriptions.. Verified that Alex + thinks it's pretty smart and outsmarts itself when all we wanted was a simple link to ISY. Another option may be to change the verbal command to "Alex, go dark", but it may just literally turn itself off! cheers.

You marked the solution.. did you get it to work consistently? you need to make sure in the Portal that the Alexa link has the correct verbal command you want and the correct link to the Scene in ISY where you have the light and the button. Sometimes Alexa can be finicky with new links: May need to ask Alexa to discover new devices, and then even though it shows up, it doesn't always work consistently for about 24 hours.

Try to put the light and the button into a scene and then link that scene to Alexa. Or less elegant is to have Alexa linked to the light and then have a program that checks the state of the light and turns on / off the button, which would be in a scene by itself.

I have not gone to Alexa+ yet. But it sounds like in this instance that the program is no longer being invoked, but instead Alexa is manually turning each light off. Is this a voice command that runs the program or a routine? If it's a voice command / program link in portal, have you tried to delete the link in the Portal and recreate the link to the voice command?

and then there is this element:

definitely sounds like a great plugin, combined with maybe a mandatory reboot every 2 weeks thru a z-wave or Insteon plug for the modem. Awesome solutions. thanks!

wow.. daily reboot..... I was thinking monthly at most.

I imagine a z-wave plug (which I have) would work as well for the modem as no internet is needed for that either? I have kasa plugs that I could use for the EISY... thanks!

What do you use to turn your router off for 1 minute?

Like @Guy Lavoie Its much easier to have the geofence toggle a variable between 1 and 0. example variable: Mark is home Geofence when entered, changes variable "mark is home" to 1, when leaving changes it to 0 The program is then always enabled and the trigger is when " mark is home' =1 (plus your time constraints) Works very cleanly and is easy to manage and troubleshoot.

@Diesel So I guess its S0... but working.. battery life isnt great.. about 9 months. But it's working and I a ton of programs that relay on the current "node" as well as resources etc. SO LEAVE IT BE is the answer! thanks!

Do I have to do anything special to get it to do S2? And how would I know if my 10yr old Yale lock is even capable of it? Thanks.

Trying to determine if my locks are using the proper security, I ran Xray DH Command Class on one of hte locks and then on a wall wart plug and a zooz relay switch. Not really knowing what I am looking at, I do see a difference between the lock and hte others. Specifically in the fourth line which has the word SECURITY. in it. For the lock it says True, for the others it says False. So @Diesel I wonder if the security is correct and with the EISY zooz stick, it no longer needs the 75' cable / proximity to associate correctly?

I have a 6 button keypad in my bedroom. Main button controls a light. KP1: fan low --> in a scene with fanlinc motor KP2: fan med--> in a scene with fanlinc motor KP3: fan high--> in a scene with fanlinc motor KP4: security If my security system is engaged at night and I am home, kp4 lights up and is set up as a quick and easy way for me turn off the security and if pressed again w/in x minutes, will reengage the security. I have this so that in the rare occasions, if in the middle of the night my dog needs to go out my bedroom door, it's a quick and easy way for me to deal with the alarm system. So last night, the dog needed to go out. I pressed kp4. The kp button turned off, the security system turned off.... all as expected. When the dog came back in, I re-pressed kp4, just like I have done many many times over the last 8+ years where there have been no changes to this program or the Fanlinc scenes etc. However, instead of the security coming on, suddenly the fan started to turn on and off and all the keypads buttons that control the fan started to blink on and off corresponding with the power level that the fan was turning on! Thinking the switch had somehow shorted out, I pulled the gap out. Switch went dead but the fan kept cycling. I opened up UDM to the fan scenes and the cycling was continuing there. Trying to stop or start turn on turn off etc was not affecting the cycling of the fan. I finally went to the fanlinc motor node and hit stop and all was good again. Pushed the stop gap back in, pressed the security button and the security came on as expected. In 15 years with this technology.. this was a new type of "event" for me.. lol.. and not a fun one at 3:15am... enclosed is movie of UDM cycling. Why kp4 triggered this event is beyond me. And no, for those of you wondering, there is no program associated with this fanlinc at all and never has been. The wonders of gremlins. ScreenRecording_01-11-2026 03-08-31_1.mov

Agree I did that many years ago..... this time I did not. Is there a way to tell how they are connected now? Seems like the zwave signals are stronger than they used to be as well, as if I remember correctly, I needed the 75' cable and close proximity to the i994 to even get it to join. This time, w/o the proximity it joined immediately.

Not high priority. Was just wondering if this was expected behavior and whether or not you knew about it. Thanks!

@Javi Not fixed. I have a ticket that's been open for two months.. Benoit was the latest to respond a week ago. I am on 6.04... Remote connections thru UDI DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY. Whether its UDM, the AC or the new Eisy UI.

Agree. I see in another posts someone looking to move away from Insteon to Zwave.. I would never.

TheZooz was in a far part of the garage and when the Garage door lock acted up , I suspect it disconnected it per @oberkc . When I moved the zooz indoors near other zwave devices it works fine. Replaced the batteries in the lock, excluded it and then re-included it. Did the same with the rear garage door lock. Cost me 2 hours of updating tons of programs that use my locks, but all is back to working again. Thanks for the inputs!

I think it was in the very early stages of UDM. so I just went with the program approach and havent changed.

I rebooted the EISY, Now the plugs are working as expected. The zoo is unresponsive and I have messed up my two locks.. I really never got to understand zwave well, but I guess the next step would be to "unenroll" these devices and then re-enroll them and see what happens? I assume that the programs they are in will be affected? Any advice? thanks!

Currently two locks, zoos controller and 3 plugs are all unresponsive in the AC however if I manually change the plugs, they update. the locks do not.

I added a zooz zwave relay, about a week ago. not sure when the locks stopped working. Nothing else. Locks have worked for 10 years now w/o problem.
