Troubleshooting my ISY Issues
I'm not sure if 5.0.10 treats the ISY link tables differently or if it's a bug in 5.0.10 I'm running 4.6.2 and the only mismatch I've come across is EA, which shows up on the device link table and can be ignored..

Troubleshooting my ISY Issues
The mismatched link usually shows up in the device link table not the ISY link table. Doing a restore device rewrites the link table stored in the ISY to the device. The ISY link tables shouldn't change unless you reprogramed a device from within the ISY. What version of the ISY firmware and UI are you running?

That seems to make sense for the AA link to appear in the device link table but why would the AA show up in the ISY link table?

KeypadLinc button flash when non toggle
I'm not aware of an option to disable the "flash". I believe it's an indicator that the button action was processed.

Troubleshooting my ISY Issues
I've never come across a device with an AA link. It's possible the link was left over from a previous use or a factory test. You could always try a factory reset / restore device to see if that eliminates it. Not sure why it would show up on the ISY link table. Did you buy the device new from Smarthome or from a 3rd party?

Troubleshooting my ISY Issues
Try doing a factory reset then restore device on a device with an AA link table. Let me know if that clears up the mismatch. What type of device is it. What's the 4 digit date code on the device?

Troubleshooting my ISY Issues
Can you take a screen shot of the link with AA in it and post it on the forum

Troubleshooting my ISY Issues
Take a look at the attached Insteon White Paper, it has a detailed explanation of the link tables. AA appears to be used for RF packets (see page 31 of the white paper) If all you devices are working correctly after you installed the new modem then you can probably ignore the "approximate" link count from the calculator.

Is the UUID the same as the MAC address?
Yes, UUID is the ISY's MAC address

Cannot Write Updates to some Devices
How many devices do you have installed? That link count sounds very low and usually indicates a failing PLM.
-
Cannot Write Updates to some Devices
The manufacture date is the 31st week of 2009. Do a PLM link count during a period when the ISY is not busy. If the link count is low then it's time to replace the PLM. The new PLM's have updated hardware and firmware.

Insteon New Motion Sensor 2844-222 2nd Gen
I'm running 4.6.2 which works with the motion sensor node, but only the MS default options are available.
-
Insteon New Motion Sensor 2844-222 2nd Gen
The motion node is supported, the other nodes are not. Add it to the ISY using the previous motion sensor ID (2842-222) Yes it can be added to a scene or a program

anyway to speed up motion sensor reaction times?
Having dual band devices within close proximity to the motion sensor may help. There will always be a slight delay when turning on a scene.

Radio interference from ISY-994i?
K3RMB I have my ISY sitting within 10 inches from a 2 meter radio. I don't hear any signal in the 146 Mhz range coming from the ISY. You may have either a bad piece of coax, or a bad Ethernet cable connected to the ISY.

Intermittent program/signal failure - how to troubleshoot
CFL bulbs can be problematic. They have a built-in ballast which can sometimes create noise on the powerline which interferes with the Insteon signal.

Insteon Open/Close sensor status
All battery operated devices go into sleep mode when not activated to preserve battery life. The open/close sensor sends out a hearbeat signal which could be used to verify communication between the device and the ISY To test the smoke bridge press the TEST button on the smoke alarm, which they reco0mmend you do on a regular basis.

switches respond from console but not programs
If all the lights you want to turn off are included in a scene then the only line you need in the THEN statement would be "set Scene Sunset lights off" Delete the first 4 lines in your THEN statement.
