Smoke Bridge Duplicated Alerts
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?

New PLM. Now ISY-994 won't control scenes
Don't forget to make a backup of your ISY.

Another PLM Restore Fail
any progress after the factory reset on the PLM?

Another PLM Restore Fail
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.

Another PLM Restore Fail
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

Keypad linc dimmer won't program
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?

Bad PLM?
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.

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

New to ISY and a bit overwhelmed
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

Is Insteon still interested in UDI?
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.

New to ISY and a bit overwhelmed
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.

Whats Up with New Insteon Motion Sensor II
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

Whats Up with New Insteon Motion Sensor II
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.
-
Whats Up with New Insteon Motion Sensor II
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.

Not all switches which are part of a scene respond
It appears that your signal quality has improved based on the number of hops left versus the first scene test.

Whats Up with New Insteon Motion Sensor II
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.

Not all switches which are part of a scene respond
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.

Not all switches which are part of a scene respond
Renaldo, I believe the 2476S is a single band device, so you lose the advantage of RF Almost all LED bulbs have a driver circuit. If the circuit in one of the bulbs failed it could interfere with the Insteon OFF signal You can run a Scene Test by right clicking on the scene. This will give you a detailed readout of any issues. Post the results after you run the test. As BrianH mentioned above it can also be a problem with another device. The latest Dual Band devices have updated firmware and hardware which helps improve the network reliability.

Moved 994i & PLM
Here's a tutorial on Insteon communication http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=INSTEON:_Troubleshooting_Communications_Errors

What type of load is connected to the problem switch. it's possible that once the load is on it's causing interference on the powerline.

Moved 994i & PLM
Do you have any newer dual band Insteon modules such a an on/off module, or a dual band lamplinc module that you could move around in an attempt to improve the Insteon signal?

Moved 994i & PLM
If the Thermostat is showing firmware v.00 in the ISY then it's possible that the ISY and the thermostat aren't properly coupled. Try doing a diagnostics / compare link table on the thermostat. You can also try a restore device on the thermostat
