Where are the Network Module Rules defined. I am getting a Net Module Rule 2:715 when I execute a Network Resource Post command. Where can I find these messages defined? Thanks Charles Seiler

Thanks for the Help. At least knowing it should work is a great first step. I currently use X10 Commands from my Network Cameras to Trigger Lighting Events when Camera Motion is detected. This is working great however I deliver the X10 Command to the ISY using the HTTP REST interface so it is actually a Network Delivered X10 Command and not a Home Wiring Delivered command. That makes it much more reliable. I am not sure if I can come up with a Network X10 Solution for going from a Program on one ISY to a Program on another or not, but I will work on that. I agree with you on X10 for the most part, and I do not currently use X10 to communicate with most of my devices, however I do use the Camera Network X10 Interface I mentioned, and I have an EZX10RF which works very well for getting Wireless X10 Commands from a Palm Pad, and sending it to the ISY. This is still a much better interface than a RemoteLinc. I never have any signal loss issues. I just do not assign X10 directly to any devices other than the EZX10RF and from there its all Insteon, and I do not use it for Device Communication other than via the EZX10RF. This seems to work just fine. I do use the X10 Module Functions in the one ISY though. I don't think I will need it on the second one, but if I go with a Networked Solution, then I probably will need the Network Module on the second ISY. Thanks Again for your response! Charles Seiler

Correction to my previous email. I still only get 1000 Programs per ISY not more than, its just that I now have 2000 Program capability between the two ISY's although it is for different devices. Just wanted to clarify that. Thanks Charles Seiler

Hello , I Recently purchased a second ISY-994I PRO due to #Program Limitations, so I now run two ISY's each with their own 2314S PLM but on the same Home wiring. I take care to not define the same devices to both ISY's. This appears to be working well, and accomplished what I needed by allowing me more than 1000 Programs per ISY. Now I would like to communicate between the two ISY's and would like to do this either by using Networking/REST commands or by sending and receiving X10 Commands. I Prefer to use the X10 command method since that is built into the ISY Programming more easily. I wrote a simple program on each ISY to detect when an X10 N1 Command is received and set a variable accordingly. A second Program also on each has only a then to Send the X10N1 On Command. ISY#2 has the X10 Module Installed. ISY#1 does not. If I send from ISY#1 then ISY#1 Detects that the X10 Command is received but ISY#2 does not. Likewise if I send from ISY#2 ISY#2 Detects that the X10 Command is received but ISY#1 does not. Is this because each PLM only listens for its own Device and command traffic, or is this because ISY#1 does not have the X10 Module on it? I don't want to purchase the X10 module for the other ISY just to test this since if this will not work, then I will not need the X10 Module on the other ISY. Same holds true with the Networking Module. If Both have the Networking Module Installed will I be able to then communicate via Network Protocols or is that also a limitation? Is there a better way to communicate between the two ISY's. Any Help is appreciated. Thanks Charles Seiler P.S. I know you are thinking I have to many programs, but I really only have minimal for what I am doing with them which includes Multiple PhotoBeam, Multiple Insteon Motion, Multi Camera Motion, and EZSNSRF Motion Triggers, Ponds, Driveway Sensors, Multiple Thermostats, etc for several of my devices. The 1000 Program Limitation really does limit the potential of ISY! If all you want is to turn lights off or on you can well live within that. If you want to use your device for its potential, Fade and Dim, and Blink lights, Use IO-Lincs to sound Chimes, X10 Palm Pads, Remote Lincs, Open Close Sensors etc, then you need much more than 1000 Programs for a Large Home. We need a Product that will allow us to use all of the available features of the ISY has potential to offer without having to run two of them.

Nothing I tried worked including restoring the devices. Finally I decided to Re-Install V4.05 and that fixed this issue. I can now see Device Status once again. Not sure what caused this, but I am back in business once again. Thanks Charles Seiler

Hello , I have had several changes to my ISY environment so I am not sure which one is causing the issue, but the problem is I am not getting Device Status Updates. None of my Devices are reporting their current Status, and Programs are not responding according to Device Status. Recent Changes Made include: #1 Installing the Latest Java 1.7.0_40_b43 #2 Restoring my ISY #3 Restoring my PLM Everything appears Normal in that all devices are shown, and all Programs are shown properly, but nothing from the Devices themselves. Scenes also do not show Device Status. I am not sure where to begin Debugging this? Querying the Device does not help. although I get a "System Busy" pop up when I issue the Query Command. The Log shows that Query is being performed. The Error Log is Empty. (I Clear it before I issue the Query). I ran Scene Test and it Succeeds and does turn the Scene On and Off properly, but the devices in the scene still report no Current State. I tried turning Windows Firewall Off and that also does not work. Any Ideas? Could this be a Certificate Issue? or something with the new JAVA release? I am not sure how to proceed. Thanks Charles Seiler

I guess I will have to keep another variable and another program If Status of Dev is ON and VAR1 is not 1 Set VAR1 = 1 Else Set VAR1 = 0 Then I can check that VAR to know when control was actually switched on. Its a solution, just complicate like most things with ISY. I still think setting Control from the ADMIN console should set Control just like doing it from a switch. Oh Well! Thanks Charles

Thanks but that's not the same. I want to know when control of the device was switched on, not that it is already on. Status could possibly still be reporting ON for hours after the Control was switched. I only want to know when the event actually occurred so that I can trigger Camera's and other events to occur. I don't want to still be triggering cameras hours after the switched On event actually occurred. That just complicates matters a great deal to not be able to tell when the event actually occurred. Thanks Anyway! Charles

So is there any way the Program can determine that Control was turned on to the device from ADMIN Consoles Control? Basically I want the program to detect that Control was turned on regardless of what turned it on? Thanks Charles Seiler

Hello, Just when I thought I understood how ISY programming works, I find another issue that I am not sure if it is working as designed or not but it seems like a Bug to me and is causing me a lot of grief? I have a program with an "IF" that checks Control of a Switch for "ON/FASTON". If I physically go to the switch and turn it On the programs "If" Triggers just fine. If I go to the "MAIN" panel and set the "ON" or "FASTON", the "IF" logic in the program never triggers. Shouldn't the Main Panel ON/FASTON function the same as a physical control ON/FASTON at the switch? Thanks Charles Seiler

Again, it doesnt happen every time I restore the PLM (Which hopefully is not very often!), but that did seem to trigger it. Interestingly the programs Involved do not use scheduling functions or After Lastrun, or any Date/Time related functions. The Dates that showed 2029 were the Dates updated automatically by the ISY such as Last Run Date, and Last Finish Date. I could attach Program code, but again I dont see the point since these were not doing any Date/Time scheduling. They were simple Check Variable or Status, and Set Device On/Off. etc. Hope this helps! Thanks Charles

Just an Update on the 2029 Date Issue. This normally never happens, and My ISY normally runs without many Glitches at all, but I did a PLM Restore today, and Lo and Behold about 30 Entries cam up with 2029 as the Year for the Last Run and Last Finished Times. These dates are somehow happening when the PLM gets restored, but they do not happen every time it gets restored. Just FYI! Thanks Charles

Hello , The V4.0.2 Beta Installed and has been basically running successfully however I just noticed something that I did not notice happening on previous releases so without going back I cannot verify this. When I go to the Main Tab under the ADMIN Console, and select a Folder, I see all of the devices in the Folder, and Options for QUERY, ALL ON, ALL OFF, however when I select one of those options (Query) nothing happens. If I select a single Device in the Folder list and go to the device itself I can then right click it and query it but I cannot use the QUERY, ALLON ALLOFF options from the Folder Level. Basically I can query the Device OK from the Device level but it will not query from the Folder Level. Is this a known Bug or did this ever work? Also I have a 2484SWH8 Keypadlinc Timer in my Pantry. I have a program to check Control and Status of the KPL so that even if you hit a 10 min or greater button, it will still turn off the lights after only 5 min effectively overiding the Hardware's timer. I noticed that the Pantry Light was staying on indefinately so I went to ADMIN to find out why. That's why I was trying to query the device at its folder level. Indeed the Folder Level reported all Buttons as being in an OFF state even though the KPL was definately in an On State since the light was still on in the Pantry. That's when I noticed the QUERY not working at the Folder level. Once I queried the Device then it detected as being ON and the Program works to turn it off after 5 min but It did not detect ON until I queried it. I have been running this program and device for quite some time now with no issues, so again I do not know if this is something related to the V4.0.2 release or if this is some other issue, but I though I would report it just in case. I also have the same 2484SWH8 Keypadlinc Timer in my Master Bedroom Closet, and the exact same things is happening with it too. At the Folder Level, no QUERY, ALLON, ALLOFF commands work, and at both the Folder and Device levels all Buttons showed as OFF even though I pressed the 10 min button and the light was on. I had to go to the Device Level and run a QUery in order for the ISY to recognize that the button was indeed on. Thanks Charles Seiler

This happened for about 20-30 out of about 3-4 Hundred Programs executed in the ISY screens. I cant remember them all and should have captured a list but I will next time. I have had this happen more than once but not regularly so its intermittent, but this is at least one set of programs I remember as being involved in the 2029 year issue. I will try to describe these programs. Sorry for the lengthy discussion, but I kind of like these programs and use them a lot without fail. These Programs are designed to allow me to use an X10 Palmpad and let me push a single Palmpad Button Multiple times in succession within 6 seconds with each push performing a different task. In other words instead of using three or four buttons to control multiple bedroom lights I can use just one (A1) button multiple times (1 second apart) in a row with each push performing a different task. This really works great, and I use it every morning and night with great success. There are actually 8 programs to make this happen and all 8 had the 2029 date as the last run, however I will only show the four "ON" Button Programs here since the "OFF" Button programs just do the same thing in reverse. You will see variables in the program for My Alarm System which basically only allow this Multi Button sequence to work when the Alarm in not processing an ALERT or an ALARM status since doing so could interfere with the alarm process. The only issue I can see is that each time the button is pushed the X10RF is repeating its Button 1 command but it doesn't seem to hurt other than generating traffic and since its light is already on it stays on or off. Program 1 On - Detects that one of three different Palmpad On Buttons were pushed and sets a Variable to initiate Program 2 on. It also initiates a WAIT condition for 6 seconds. While it does not turn any lights on from withing the program, the X10RF is actually set to turn some Night Lights on in the bedroom so that happens at the same time program 1 on is executing and beginning the process.

When the third Push is detected it then turns a switch that turns on the Bedrom Ceiling Lights so basically each push is progressively turning on more lights in the Bedroom and Bath areas. Only executes once Program 1 has set its variable and it detects a second push of the Palmpad Button. within the 6 second wait of Program 1 On. When the second Push is detected it then turns a scene on that has Bedroom and Bathroom Lamps and Vanity lights on. Program 4 On - Only executes once Program 3 has set its variable and it detects a fourth push of the Palmpad Button. within the 6 second wait of Program 1 On. When the fourth Push is detected it then turns a scene on that turns on most of the lights in the whole house. The Fourth On program is rarely used, however in the OFF button Programs I used it every night to turn all lights in the whole house that need to be off when retiring to bed. It also runs a couple of programs that contain schedules to turn Scentsy Candles off or on at scheduled times.

Again I use the OFF set of programs which do the reverse of this ON process every night to turn the bedroom lights off and ultimately on the fourth button press to basically turn all lights that need to be off off. I see nothing that should cause the 2029 Date issue in the Last Run Date, but I have seen this several times not only for these programs but others as well. I really haven't been able to pin down a cause at this time but it just seemed coincidental that someone else had posted about a 2029 date.

I am running V3.3.10. The Current Date and Time was all correct and at one point when I sorted by Last Run Date it had a 2013 Year sorted ahed of the 2029 year so it made no sense at all to me. The Reboot did clear it up. Its just curious as to why it picks the 2029 year?

I have a similar issue but instead of the Next scheduled Runtime in 2029 its the Last Run Time and Last Finished Time in 2029 I will try a reboot but I was curious whats up with the 2029 Year? Thanks

I deeply apologize. This was a False Alarm, it just so happens that the problem with the EZFLORA happened at the exact same instant that I upgraded the new release. In this case, the EZFLORA had been running zones, and the sprinklers happened to get some outdoor Christmas Lights Wet which ultimately tripped the GFCI the EZFLORA is plugged in to. The EZFLORA is protected and indoors, but the outside lights tripped the circut. Sorry for the scare! The new version is working well! Thanks

I just installed 3.3.6, Cleared JAVA Cache, and everything works except my EZFLORA. The EZFLORA is marked with the Red Exclamation Mark. I have tried unpluging and replugging the device, and Querying it with no success. I will switch back to 3.3.5 and see if it works again. Please let me know if you have any ideas.

THis may seem obvious to some, but I have a ISY-994IR Non Pro Version with 141 Devices, 53 scenes, 88 Programs, 22 Variables and 37 Folders. The Devices range from Insteon Motion Sensors, EZX10RF, EZSNSRF, EZFLORA, IO-Linc Garage Door to various switches Keypadlincs, Remotelincs, and Fanlincs. My question is how can I tell when I am going to need to upgrade to the PRO version if the ISY 994? I currently show 987MB Total with 98MB Reserved Used 17MB Bad 0MB, and Free 871MB. I have a 3300 Sqft Home and currently the bottom floors outside Deck, and Walkway and Garage have all the Insteon they will need. I do plan to add Insteon in the future to 3 upstairs Bedrooms and a Gameroom. This will mostly by 1 KPL each room with 1 FANLINC and 1 LAMPLINC in each. It seems to me that I have plenty of capacity but I don't want to be surprised one day when I cannot add another device or Program to the ISY when I need to. I have heard the 300 number mentioned but is that just devices or a combination of everything? I have also heard something about BATCH mode in the Pro version. What does that buy me? Are there other reasons to upgrade to Pro other than capacity? Thanks
