@ShawnW. While not as knowledgeable as Techman, after one of the many upgrades /updates, I was having problem conducting a back up as well. Turned out that one of the files got corrupted during the update. Opening a ticket, Michele was able to resolve it. I am not sure if this corrupt file also caused other problems, but this may be your case --> corrupt file is causing the insteon engine to quit somehow. I would open a ticket at this point.

@Javi, I have no idea if this is even feasible, but I am "managing" five mobile devices in my house with UD mobile on them: wife's phone / iPad, my phone / iPad, an in wall iPad. Each time I either change programing in ISY, or make changes to UD mobile, it becomes a time consuming event to get each device up to date: -complete a sync on my phone -complete a backup on my phone and save it to files -send the file via airdrop to each device (cloud doesnt work on the older iPads) -restore each device and check the sync to ensure its also up to date. It would be nice to be able to push these from a central location, but probably pretty hard to accomplish, or, similar to the way MobilLinc does the backup and restore, it does it directly so it eliminates the need to save the file and transfer the file and then load the file. Was much easier and intuitive as it was all done within the app on both devices in one step. Cheers.. and thanks.

@Javi Now that the UD notifications section is working well, is there any vision to add PGX module notifications of updates available to the notifications area? Right now, the only way to see if there is an update is to log into PGX and either look for a notice from the developer or go to the store and look for one. Not ideal. Thanks

To further explain this, read this wiki. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Scope,_Precedence_and_Execution_Order#Statement_Execution_Order Whenever a WAIT is encountered, the IF is re-evaluated. In your program case, the if then becomes false so the program runs the else and never gets to the last command. @Goose66 is indeed the cleanest and most strait-forward approach and one I use all the time.

interesting. I wonder what makes it appear. If I go to threads that I started, it usually there.. maybe you have to first Like the post?

Do you see this green box in my post? be sure to be signed in.

What is the verbal command for your night scene doing? Is it simply turning off /on a scene? If so, the easiest thing is like you suggested, create an Alexa routine that first turns off/on the same scene you were using and then turns off the amazon bulb. Pretty simple.

Havent had any problems with formatting with the latest versions. Thanks Javi.

LOL.. I needed to do that to be able to explain to friends (and remember it myself) as things keep getting more and more complex.

@kentinada hope that continues to work for you. If it does, can you mark your post as the Solution? thanks.

@kentinada I have two sets of beams that go across my driveway, one at top, one part way down. They trigger an insteon module so that I can tell if someone is coming or leaving. If arriving, after dark, then the lights brighten at hte porch / door, spots go on, etc. and an optional Alert across the sound system of Driveway Alert. Other lights depending on current status, like the shower if on, will blink to notify someone in there who wont hear the alert that there is someone entering. etc. They absolutely have worked great. I have the receivers at a pole barn, one on each end, and the transmitters spread at angles on the other side of a circle drive where I had power. https://www.amazon.com/Yohii-Security-Infrared-Detector-Alignment/dp/B07CSHT8RB/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=laser+beam+alarm+system&qid=1703100195&sr=8-6

@kentinada To overcome this delay, I have set my radius fairly wide. This gives the phone a chance to "catch up". However note that I also have driveway sensors so nothing gets triggered directly unless the driveway sensors trigger within 5 minutes of the geofence registering a trigger. Other non time important items such as turning on the fireplace in the morning, dont need the driveway trigger, just the geofence to say one of us is home and to come on. I just switched from Alexa geofence to UDMobile and so far have had zero issues. Hopefully your issue is something in the phone.. have you also tried to reset network services on the phone?

Just wanted to comment on this NS. I have been using it since its release and have had ZERO problems with it. It works perfectly. If anyone has any doubts about this, dont.. Its been one of the best NS I have in terms of ease of use and dependability. Great job @Goose66

In your first post you said: In an attempt to diagnose the issues this morning, I adjusted the thermostat values both in the Admin console and locally at each thermostat. However, I noticed that each thermostat reverted to a heating set point of 72°F shortly afterward. This behavior persisted even after I disabled all three programs. In your next post you said: As a side note to cover all of the bases, while the RCS thermostats have the ability to run an autonomous internal schedule, the feature remains disabled. So if the ISY programs are disabled and the temps still change back, that would lead me again to the thermostat. Have you double checked that the feature really is disabled? Conversely, another test would be to unplug your ISY and see if the thermostats still make the adjustment locally, to absolutely rule out a local issue and bring it back to an ISY issue. From there one thing I noticed through some of hte updates / migrations, some of my programs got corrupted. Simply modify ing them or hitting Update on any line will allow you to resave them and possibly eliminate any corruption behind the scenes.. Good luck.

@William Olsen I would concur with Dennis that my first point of investigation , since your programming doens look overly complicated, is to double check the thermostats themselves for thier own programming / settings. If you manually adjust the thermostats, does it also revert back, or only if the ISY adjusts it?

nope.. thanks. All set..

@Jimbo.Automates I dont see it in the store.. thanks.

Thanks @goose.. So for now ratdgo, w/o HA, can't be added to the AC is my take away. So I will wait on the NS and see how it works for others. Would hte NS connect directly to the ratdgo w/o the user needing to deal with MQTT? thanks!

@Goose66 is this all that is needed to get it running and nodes showing in the AC? I guess it would be good to get someone to do a quick simple bullet point of hte steps for those of us that dont know / understand or have ever worked with the MQTT side of things. thanks

Was running 5.7.1.1. Just upgrade by pressing Upgrade packages. Usual message of four beeps (got six), eventually asked to reboot by pressing the reboot button in AC. Reboot just completed. All is perfect 5.7.1.7....Thanks @Michel Kohanim and UDI!

From goose above, it looks like you would set the ratgdo MQTT IP as follows: If your are using the public MQTT broker on Polisy/eISY, it is the local IP address or hostname of your Polisy/eISY and port 1334

I have the same need but havent tried to address it yet. The simple question @Javi is, if I have a geofence set up in UDM on my phone and also set one up on my wife's phone which starts from the same backup, will these be considered two different geofences? My guess is yes if I name them differently, then I can accomplish the above, but to your point if I replace her version with an updated backup on mine, it will replace her geofence with mine and wipe hers out since it wont exist on my phone. Currently I have been using Alexa's geofence to trigger a vairable in ISY and was going to do that for my wife's phone as I know those would be separate.

forgot to mention, that under the Configure tab of that icon, I have set the following. This makes it green. I have all my favorites display green if they are in the state I like them in, and red if not. Also for the colors, they have to be inputed currently in ASCI format. here a web site with the codes: https://www.ascii-code.com/html-color-names

very easy.. set up your Favorites screen in UD Mobile. Here is my main page with my ELK security system highlighted on top. If I click on it I can adjust it anyway I want.. The second shot is the setup of that icon.

Thanks @Goose66. Am not familiar with the MQTT broker on Polisy, or what it even means. How does that connection take place? Do I need special knowledge to set that up within the Polisy? Thanks.
