You can use always use a 9v battery eliminator with the old MS. https://www.amazon.com/UpBright%C2%AE-Eliminator-100-240VAC-Universal-DURACELL/dp/B00FGG3GKE I wonder if the new MS eliminates the all on problem that was partially blamed on the old MS?

Follow the instructions below. It sounds like the ISY is trying to query each device. I would stop the query and go to replace PLM Replace Modem (PLM) This operation is most useful when you need to replace a defective PLM and the ISY is rebooted with a new PLM. When the communication links were established via the Link Management Menu, the PLM and INSTEON devices adds each device addresses it is linked to, in its own link table. The ISY also reads and stores the PLM’s address at boot up. The ISY stores all the configurations settings of the lighting network. If you are replacing a PLM the ISY will have the old PLM address link stored in it. Warning: Never replace your PLM while the ISY is running because it will assume it is still connected with the old PLM. The ISY will appear to work, but it will be writing the address of the old PLM into the device links, thus you will not see devices updates etc. If this menu option is selected, the ISY goes through all INSTEON devices looking for old and new PLM address links. If an old PLM address link is found, it replaces them with the address of the new PLM and adds the corresponding device link to the new PLM. To replace a PLM: • Unplug ISY from the power outlet • Unplug the PLM from ISY and power outlet • Connect ISY’s port A to the new PLM • Plug the new PLM into a power outlet • Plug ISY into a power outlet • Go to Admin Console and wait for system initialization to complete o If you have PRO Series, click on the Battery icon at the top. This will prevent ISY from trying to update programming on your RF devices which are probably in sleep mode • Click on the Restore Modem (PLM) menu option o In case ISY cannot communicate (or decides not to if an RF device/PRO Series) during the process, you will have a series of nodes with green 1011 icons in the device tree. For each one of those nodes:  If an RF device, ensure that the device is in Programming mode  Right mouse click | Write pending updates ... 　

I've never tested with canned smoke. Try a test of the smoke bridge by just pressing the test button on the smoke detector. It possible that you don't have the email configuration properly set up on the ISY. Take a look at this info http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY994:Configure_Mail_Server_Settings#Configuring_gmail_Account

As Teken suggested update your UI to 4.6.2 When I push the test button on my smoke alarm I also get 2 emails, about 11 seconds apart. It's possible that one is for smoke and the other is for CO2, but they both say Test On

Welcome to the forum If From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) Then Set switch 'Front Porch' 100% Else Set switch 'Front Porch' Off

What version if the ISY firmware and UI are you running Post a copy of your program that you're using to send notifications. Do you have more that one program sending notifications from the Smoke Bridge?

Amazon rotates their sellers between Amazon and 3rd parties. Sometimes it can change on a daily basis.

Don't forget to make a backup of your ISY.

any progress after the factory reset on the PLM?

There's a problem resetting the PLM Try doing a factory reset on the PLM, then a restore PLM. Did you do a Delete PLM?, if you didn't DON'T.

What's your Firmware and UI versions? Unplug both the PLM and the4 ISY. Power up the PLM, wait about 10 seconds, then power up the ISY

Did you add the button as a Controller? If not, then delete it from the scene and add it back in.

What Is the version of your ISY firmware and UI?

Your PLM is about 2 years old, about the time they start to fail. Do a PLM link count when the ISY isn't busy. A unusually low count usually indicates an impending failure.

Let me/us know if you make any progress.

Here a link to the ISY Wiki. Scroll down to Instructional Videos http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Main_Page

Being that the leak sensors usually sit on the floor their RF signal range is adversely affected. Chances are that the PLM itself will not provide reliable RF coverage and you'll need additional dual band devices. The Insteon technology is a mesh network. All dual band devices act as signal repeaters. The more dual band devices you have in your system the more reliable the network becomes. Take a look at this link regarding Insteon communications http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=INSTEON:_Troubleshooting_Communications_Errors

UDI is a 3rd party developer. Smartlabs is the developer of Insteon products. Smarthome is the retail arm of Smartlabs which sells among other things, Insteon devices and the ISY.

Welcome to the forum. The leak sensors are RF only devices. You'll need some dual band devices to pass the RF signals to the powerline. You'll also need to bridge the two sides of the powerline using the dual band devices. Either range extenders, on/off modules, or lamplinc modules would work. What you want to do is fairly simple. Once you get your hardware in place let us know, there's always someone on the forum who'll help you with programming.

RE: ISY and Motion Sensor II. Just saw this post on the Smarthome website. Can anyone confirm this? Smarthome Reply: You are able to add this device by Insteon ID number and instead of using Auto Discover, you would want to select the device option: [10.01] (2842-222) INSTEON Motion Sensor. This will allow the same functionality as the previous model 2842-222 Insteon Motion Sensor. Posted on 6/28/2017

Smarthome was recently sold and they are in the process of transitioning. It will probably be several months before we know exactly what direction they will be taking. . Hopefully the new owners will take a more open approach in reaching out to its developers and end users.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm hopeful that the new ownership will be more accommodating. I just found out that Smarthome is moving to a new location in Irvine, once they get settled in maybe they'll be more open in working with developers.

It appears that your signal quality has improved based on the number of hops left versus the first scene test.

UDI has marginal support (motion only) for the sensor in firmware 4.6.2. It's supposed to be fully supported in the 5.x.x release. I would hold off buying them until they're fully supported.

You scene test appears to not have any errors. Take a physical look at all the lights in your scene to verify that they all turned off after the test turned them on. The scene does indicate marginal communications in several of the entries such as the one below: Tue 07/25/2017 03:38:51 PM : [std-Cleanup Ack] 13.4C.71-->ISY/PLM Group=0, Max Hops=2, Hops Left=0 As Paul suggested, upgrading your devices to dual band should greatly improve your communication problem.
