    What's your ISY firmware and UI version? You most likely have the older 300 series dongle which is not compatible with the newer ISY firmware.
  2. @stillwater Here's a site worth checking out: - The Internet of Things is powered by Z-Wave. (z-wavealliance.org)
  3. @webminster Increasing the PLM retries increases traffic on the Insteon mesh network and could interfere with some of your Insteon traffic. It's possible that either both sides of your powerline are not bridged or that you have noise on the powerline. I would first focus on these two rather than increasing the retries.
  4. Right now your best source would be The Smartest house which is selling it for $28.95, not sure what the shipping would be. UD has them for $32.00. Just make sure you get the ZST10 700 and not the 500 You should also buy this adapter otherwise the dongle will block the other USB slot.

  6. That site is for Richmand Capital Partners, Ltd, based in London Rob Lilleness, and his company, is/was based in Seattle, Washington
  7. Did you clear your java cache, including all applications, and then download a new version of the ISY LAUNCHER?
  8. @Teken, A company can submit a bankruptcy filing to the court and the court has the option to refuse the bankruptcy request, which is apparently what happened two years ago. My best guess is that they will try again depending on if there are creditors pursuing them. Even though they are essentially shut down, the Smarthome.com web site is still up, and they just renewed the domain name for an additional 10 years, so I would assume they are hoping that a buyer will pick it up,
  9. Here's some reliable but unverified information on the Smartlabs/Smarthome shutdown. They tried to file bankruptcy about two years ago, but the case was dismissed by the Judge. They defaulted on their lease at 1621 Alton Parkway and were in arrears on their rent.
  10. Your errors appear to be related to your SD card. Power down the ISY, remove the SD card and clean the contacts with a soft eraser. If that doesn't resolve your issue, then you may have to replace the card 110012 SD DRIVE CONFIG FILE OPEN READ FAILED 110022 OPEN FILE FAILED
  11. I recently had an Insteon on/off module turn on without any user or program intervention. A few days later I experienced an all on event, where several of my older modules turned on. I traced the problem back to the (failing) on/off module. I tried a factory reset / restore but the ISY had difficulty communicating with the module. I replaced the module, and all my problems went away. The defective module was a hardware version 1.0 dated 2013
  12. I just noticed that Smarthome renewed their domain name last month for an additional 10 years. So, either they plan on selling the domain or are hopeful that someone will come along and salvage the mess they left behind.
  13. Sometime after the 16542 Millikan property was sold to developers they moved to a lease in the Eureka Building at 1621 Alton Parkway. Apparently their Alton Parkway lease expired at the end of January, 2022 as their space was put on the market for lease available as of February 1, 2022.
  14. @Michel Kohanim That sounds somewhat encouraging, Can you also find out if they're sitting with any other Insteon inventory that maybe they haven't been paid for and would like to sell?
  15. I use their Multisensor 6 and Smart Switches. I've had only positive results with their devices and support. Their devices are end user firmware upgradeable which I think is a big plus. They're slowly upgrading their inventory to the series 7 chipset.
  16. Take a look at the Aeotec switch: Z-Wave light dimmer switch, illumino Dimmer Switch ‐ Aeotec If you have any questions their support team is very responsive.
  17. Are you referring to the server for the Insteon Hub? Can you be more specific
  18. Nokia just licensed their name I doubt they would want to get involved in manufacturing the product. It's going to be interesting to see where the remnants of Insteon end up. Smarthome/Smartlabs basically has nothing left. There's no real estate, there's no goodwill and there's no inventory. The only item left is the patent which apparently expires in 2026. I doubt anyone would invest in something that's going to expire in a few years. We need someone with access to the legal databases to keep an eye on Smarthome's asset(s). Maybe there's a creditor who will end up with the patent and who has no use for it.
  19. When you cleared your java cache did you also check the box to clear applications, this would have deleted the ISY finder from your desktop.
  20. I've been using the Venstar T7900 for years with no issues. It has built in wi-fi and API. Here's the link: https://developer.venstar.com/documentation/
  21. Just did some research. The one-story Industrial property Smarthome / Smartlabs was located in at 16541 Millikan Ave, was sold to developers for $21,000,000 in December 2018. At that same time the developer got approval to demolish the property and replace it with a large multi story residential complex. Not sure if Smarthome was a just tenant or had an equity interest in the property. But it seems the writing on the wall several years ago. Maybe it's time to reach out to them and try to make a deal on the PLM chip. Any idea how much time remains on their patent?
  22. Looks like their whole operation may be shut down. All the 3rd party products they sold on the Smarthome website are either "out of stock" or they refer you to Amazon. I wonder what will become of the Insteon patent. Being that they pretty much ran the company into the ground I would assume its value is minimal. It's certainly a sad state of affairs.
  23. Sure seems that way. I think Michel mentioned a while back that they were trying to sell the Company. Does anyone with installer or developer access to Smartlabs have any updates?
  24. I just tried calling the local phone number listed for the app developer, seems to be disconnected. Their 800 number has a recording saying to email them. I guess everything hit the fan this month.
