At 8:28pm every evening, a 'ghost' mysteriously turns on four of my kitchen Insteon devices. They are not programmed to turn on, but they do so anyway, forcing me to turn each one off manually. Part of my Log is attached below, with the offenders underlined. Any suggestions?

@Geddy In an attempt to shut down my eisy, I have clicked the <POWER> button 6 times; however, the blue power light stays on. Any suggestions?

@DennisC I must be doing something with UD Mobile incorrectly, because this is what my Home screen looks like (sorry the shot is a bit blurry).

Now that I have most of my switches up and running in my Admin Console, I would like to be able to use UD Mobile (to change a switch's individual status using the UD Mobile Node Dashboard, but I have been unable to find my Node Dashboard screen. Is there a section in my (iOS) UD Mobile manual that clarifies how I can access this Dashboard?

@Geddy @MrBill @Techman et al: Success: I now have all of the devices up and running (As you can see the check marks below on my status sheet). So far, so good, and my sincere thanks for all your recommendations! As per your suggestions, I plan to go with Ethernet configuration; however I believe my Mobile program initially set my eisy up as wireless. Any recommendations on how to convert from wired to wireless?

@Geddy @MrBill @Techman et al: As I am making progress with connecting my eisy system, I have one basic question; I have a setup that could easily be connected as either an Ethernet system ( I am currently connected to a 2413 USB PLM, but I also have a powerful Mesh wireless covering my entire house). Five of my thirty-one devices are unable to connect to my eisy, and give me one of two different error messages in the Admin Console, either (1) Cannot Determine Insteon Engine," or (2) "Cannot Determine Device Link Table Address." QUESTION #1: Should I configure my eisy as Ethernet or as Wireless? Question #2: Any recommendations on how to address the two error messages?

@Techman I'm finally sending you photos to answer two questions of yours. (1) you asked "...you mentioned putting a paperclip into a hole to reset your eisy. That's the reset method for the Polisy, the EISY uses a button on the front panel for resets. Are you sure you have an EISY?" The photo shows the location of the hole with a push button of the rear of the eisy. Any idea what it's for? (2) You also asked "...What type of bridge do you have across your power line legs?" I have attached a copy of the Leviton Bridge installed on by circuit breaker panel; the red lights are modulated and indicate they are both functioning (the photo seems to show only one illuminated, but trust me, they are both lit all the time).

@Techman FYI - All my 2457's are actually 2457 D2

@Techman Forgot to mention I have had a Bridge across L1 and L2 mounted in my Circuit Breaker panel for many years. I also have a curious addition to my IoX Network in the Admin Console. In addition to all my modules, something suddenly appeared called the "NOTIFICATION CONTROLLER." I di not install it, instead it just 'showed up.' Any idea what this is, & why it just appeared out of nowhere?

@Techman Sure am. Bought it 30 days ago from UDI. There were no instructions about the rear port, but I will stay clear of it from now on. I subsequently did reset and reboot pressing the front Power Button. I am working furiously to get present system working before connecting the Z-wave. Our new doors should be delivered in about two weeks. So far I can communicate with most Insteon devices, but a few Outletlinks (2472D) and Lamplinks (2457) are giving me trouble, even though I can communicate with other same model devices. Also, although I can control most devices using the Admin Console, turning them ON & OFF: however, most of them are not responding to their individual programming routines. In addition, Amazon Echo fails to recognize commands as well, stating I should "check network connection & Power Supply." So I'm really having lots of fun here (especially since when my old 994i was still functioning, All these same modules worked perfectly together, so I'm trying to understand what new variable the eisy introduced that 'screwed up' communication). Other than that, my day is just fine, thank you!!

@Techman Many thanks for the info. I have purchased an Aeotec Range Extender 7 for my setup (I hope that will function as my repeater). What do you think? Also, I am still trying to determine the proper module to add to my eisy to enable the Z-wave function. Recommendations?

@Techman Appreciate the clarification. I have one more question. I will shortly be installing two doors with Z-wave locks. What is the proper Z-Wave add-on for my eisy?

@stevehoyt Thanks for the above video (I assume if I am dealing with a ToggleLink Wall Switch, the set button will be visible if I remove the wall plate). Also, any suggestions on how to overcome my second error message when trying to add a new switch/outlet ("Cannot Determine Device Link Table Address")

I am starting to program my new eisy manually, but some of my switches/Outlets will not program. Does anyone know how to overcome the following two error messages when trying to add a new switch/outlet? "Cannot Determine Insteon Engine" "Cannot Determine Device Link Table Address" Finally, what is the format if you only want to switch on a single outlet in a duplex socket?

@Geddy Well, I'm on a good roll (PARTLY). Somehow I got rid of all my old programming. I thought I did a Factory Reset, but now I see I did something else. I used a paper clip to push the button inside a hole on the back 10 times instead of pushing the button on the front (so I really did not do a factory reset). Having said that I have entered 6 programs without any problem, and I have verified they work just fine. However, an additional 6 programs gave me the "Cannot Determine Insteon Engine" error message, so I am inclined to do a real Factory Reset using the front button, and then re-boot and start over. Your thoughts? Also when I have a duplex wall socket, and I only want to activate one of the sockets, do I identify the top socket using the format: xx.xx.xx.1?
