Thanks for the fast replies. Looks like I got a lot of manual work ahead me WRT interference. That was my suspicion. I put on filters, tried to turn off household stuff. no matter what I would still have random device communication issues. And if I had interference problems I don’t see how switching to a I Insteon hub would fix it. There would have still been issues. But as soon as I cut out the PLM and ISY prob went away

So I am one of the victims of the Insteon shutdown. My hub stopped working. So I went out and purchased a Polisy and a PLM from EBAY.. The PLM is a USB, I have gotten to the admin console. When I try to restore PLM, I am on a never ending loop of system busy dialog that keep repeating itself. What do I do? I have yet been able to figure out how to get the Polisy to see my insteon devices.. I am unable to find the step by step instruction of setting up Polisy and PLM from scratch. I am a former ISY owner BTW... I used to use one. I switched to Insteon hub because I found PLMs to be unreliable. I went through at least 3 of them. and I constantly had issues with it communicating to various devices. they would work for a few weeks, then ISY would have issues communicating to random devices. The hub resolved this... So I dont really remember how to do the setup. Am I supposed to so something with the PLM? How to I know the PLM is working? how do I know the Polisy is communicating to PLM? Any help will be appreciate

Thanks Michel, could I also just add a for statement to the if condition? That is say if 11PM, for 2hrs That would extend the grace period with plenty time to spare (2 hrs)?

I am trying to understand what is going on with the weather bug variables. I have read the various threads and I think I understand the basics. So if I understand things, "Irrigation requirement" variable is the amount of water you want to add back into your yard. The "Cycle Complete" will subtract the amount of water specified in the "water applied per irrigation cycle" from the current "Irrigation requirement". However I do not seem to be getting this behavior. I am calling the "cycle complete" each at the end of my irrigation program. But the value just keeps going up every day. It does not seem the "Cycle complete" is doing anything In the weather bug program, I have set the "water applied per irrigation cycle" to .5 this is my basic program: If Time is 11:00:00PM And Module 'Climate' Irrigation Requirement >= 0.5 inches Then Send Notification to 'Default' content 'irrigation stats' Set 'irrigation / Lawn Back center' On Wait 5 minutes Set 'irrigation / Lawn Back edges' On Wait 5 minutes Set 'irrigation / Lawn Front' On Wait 5 minutes Set 'irrigation / Lawn Entry Way' On Wait 5 minutes Set 'irrigation / Bamboo Entry Way' On Wait 5 minutes and 5 seconds Set 'irrigation / Bamboo back' On Wait 5 minutes and 5 seconds Set 'irrigation / Garden' On Wait 6 minutes and 5 seconds Set 'irrigation / slope' On Wait 5 minutes and 5 seconds Set 'irrigation / horsetail planter' On Wait 6 minutes and 5 seconds Set 'irrigation / Side Window Planter' On Wait 2 minutes and 5 seconds Set 'irrigation / Side Window Planter' Off Irrigation - Cycle Complete Send Notification to 'Default' content 'irrigation stats' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') However after one week of running this program the value of "Irrigation requirement" just keeps going up. It does not look to me that the "cycle complete" is doing anything. I am kind of stumped.
