Lights switch on at random times
@someguy Do you have any Insteon motion sensors installed? Do the lights all come on at the same time? If you look at your EISY log do you see any activity just before the light(s) come on Do you have any older, non dual band insteon devices, in your system? Do you have any power supplies plugged into your a/c outlets Did you look at your program summany page to see if any programs ran at the time your light(s) came on?

EISY Randomly turns stuff on and more...
if you still need a range extender any plug-in dual band device will work. If you have numerous dual band devices in your Insteon network then there's probably no need for a range extender as all dual band devices also act as insteon repeaters.

Insteon 8W LED bulb 2672-222 odd behavior on "Query"
The Insteon LED Bulb automatically enters linking mode every time it is powered on, it's possible to accidentally link a device to the LED Bulb in the brief period of time that the Bulb is in linking mode. Because the LED Bulb lacks a set button, there is no manual way to factory reset the LED Bulb. You can try removing the bulb from the socket, replacing it and then doing a restore device It's also possible that the electronics in the bulb have failed

X10 Status requests
This is what you need for the UPS, originally it was called a FilterLinc Powerline Noise Filter – Insteon It's also possible that the SwitchLinc is defective and creating the noise, do you have another one you could replace it with? FilterLinc.pdf
-
X10 Status requests
It could be a combination of the off signal from the switch and noise from another device. Some things to check/try Put your UPS on a Filterlinc as they are notorious for creating powerline noise issues Check the batteries in your motion sensors, a low battery can cause insteon issues If you have any battery/phone chargers plugged in, unplug them.

X10 Status requests
Take a look at this link. Being that you don't have any X10 devices and the fact that you have comm issues I would think that you have some type of noise on your powerline. Do you have a UPS or other electronics installed near your PLM? Do you have any battery powered motion sensors installed? ISY flooded with X10 status requests - ISY994 - Universal Devices Forum

X10 Status requests
It's possible the link tables in the switch got corrupted. Try doing a factory reset on the switch, then a restore device Being that you have comm issues, they could be caused by noise on the powerline, a poor insteon mesh network, or a defective device. Do you have X10 devices currently installed How many Insteon devices do you have installed In HELP | ABOUT, what is your firmware and UI versions

eisy clock off by 8 hours after end of DST
None of my programs that are triggered by time of day ran after the DST reverted to standard time. My eisy clock showed the correct time and sunrise and sunset were also correct. I rebooted the eisy which I think corrected the problem as all my lights were off this morning as they should be.

Newbe Insteon + X10 + Zwave
The eisy uses an USB port to interface with the PLM, you'll need an USB to serial convertor cable such as this one: Serial PLM Kit - Universal Devices or you can use a 2413U USB PLM

Polisy Restore ioX error
Being that your Polisy firmware is 6.0.0 the 5.x.x data file wouldn't be compatible. A socket timeout error occurs when a network operation, such as connecting to a server or receiving data, does not complete within a specified time limit. This means the client or server waited for a response or a connection to be established, but the expected event did not happen within the allotted time. It's possible that the 6.0.0 data file you were trying to restore is corrupted, After you rebooted are your programs and devices all working normally, if so It's best not to try restoring a backup. If all is good then do another backup. You should also clear your java cache, be sure to check all 3 boxes, then download the IoX Launcher from here: https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp
