ISY994i can't turn on keypad button
When you installed the keypads did you install them one at a time using the ISY link new devices? If so, then try pulling the air gap to remove power from the device, wait a few seconds then push it back in. That sometimes will clear up problems within the keypads.

ISY994i can't turn on keypad button
Welcome to the forum. If you want the Keypad button to control the scene then delete it from the scene and then add it back to the scene as a controller. Then the button will control the scene and will stay lit when the scene is on. The device that you're controlling should also be in the same scene as the Keypad button.

Schedule programs works others do not
Is it the scenes which are not working?, Which ISY firmware and UI do you have?

New PLM, and now garage door is opening by itself
It's rare for a failed module to cause powerline problems. I would suggest doing a factory reset on the module, then a restore device from the ISY. Another possibility is the load it's controlling has an issue, especially if it's a CFL.

Naptown Take a look at this troubleshooting link, hopefully this will point you in the right direction http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=INSTEON:_Troubleshooting_Communications_Errors

New PLM, and now garage door is opening by itself
You've got a communications issue. It's not RF as the IOLinc is power line only. You have two options, either eliminate the power line noise if in fact that's causing your problem or add some dual band devices on the circuit close to the garage IOLinc, assuming that you have other dual band devices installed. This will improve the reliability of your Insteon mesh network. Keep in mind that if your communication to the garage IOLinc is marginal your garage door could experience unwanted activity.

Why must admin console be reinstalled after every Java update?
I've never had to reinstall the admin console after a java update, but you do need to delete all the items and applications in the java storage area when you update the admin console.

Add thermostat humidity level to program notification
Thank you. I don't recall those options being there the last time I looked, which was quite a while ago. . The page indicates it was updated in March. Either I missed it or it was added.

You most likely have a communications issue or powerline noise. The IOLinc is not a dual band device. Try either moving the device to a different location or add a dual band device, such as a range extender, on/off module, or lamp linc close to the IOLinc then try to re-link it. Do you have any CFL or fluorescent bulbs close to the IOLinc?

Add thermostat humidity level to program notification
I just ran a email notification test and it works on the wireless thermostat ${sys.node.xx xx xx 1.CLIHUM} It's frustrating that the humidity option isn't documented.

Add thermostat humidity level to program notification
That's the code I've been using for the Insteon wireless thermostat but it only displays temperature.

What thermostats are you using? What's the line of code that works?

Make sure you're actually doing a factory reset. For the IOLinc, remove it, hold down the set button then plug it back in. After a few seconds it will start to buzz, continue to hold down the set button until the buzzing stops. I would also do a factory reset on the front door switch. It sounds like you may have cross linked your devices.

Add thermostat humidity level to program notification
Have you had any luck adding humidity to your notifications? The humidity node for an Insteon thermostat doesn't show up in the ISY so it may not be a workable option.

What apps are you using? The ISY dashboard is a pretty simple straight forward interface. See attached example.

Hi Jeff, Welcome to the Forum. You can rename your device nodes to your choosing. Just right click on the node in the device tree the click on rename. The current state value cannot be changed.

Do I have 2 problems?
You're correct on the date. v2.2 is the hardware version. What's the firmware version, you'll find that in the admin console under Tools | Diagnostics | PLM Info/Status

Glad to hear all your problems went away. What is the firmware, hardware and date code on the PLM? This is a new batch that Smarthome just received.

Folder Conditions
How about a fail safe program that enables the programs in the folder(s) regardless of their state. It could be set to run several times a day.

Do I have 2 problems?
If the ISY is coming up in the safe mode then it's unable to communicate with the PLM. You can try removing power from both the PLM and the ISY, then power up the PLM wait about 15 seconds then power up the ISY. If you're still in the safe mode then it's time to replace the PLM. Regarding the SD card I had a similar problem, reseating the card resolved it. Are you now able to see all your programs?

Dell is a Insteon retailer, my guess is that the items are shipped directly from Smarthome. http://pilot.search.dell.com/insteon
