ISY no longer communicates with insteon?
Try removing power from the PLM and the ISY, then first power up the PLM then the ISY. Are you getting any error lights on the front of the ISY?

Problems With Hidden Door Sensor
smokegrub it's always a good idea to have a dual band device located within close proximity of a RF only device in order to improve reliability of the RF device. Techman

Problems With Hidden Door Sensor
The Togglelincs are not dual band. You should probably replace at least one of them in the garage with a dual band Switchlinc, or if you have an extra dual band on/off module or dual band Lamplinc you could plug either into an outlet and it will act as an access point.

Why do dual band devices "flutter" than lock?
Kevin Connolly The Fluorescent and CFL's can be problematic as their ballasts can generate powerline noise that can interfere with Insteon signals. Try the CREE led bulbs sold at Home Depot. They are well priced and compatible with the Insteon dimmers. Some of the other LED brands have a tendency to buzz and flicker when dimmed. Techman

Problems With Hidden Door Sensor
Try turning off the lights then testing your device. It's possible that the ballasts in the lights are creating RF interference.

Email Notification Problem
Waketech, There's no disadvantage in using your ISP unless it's unreliable or difficult to configure.

Email Notification Problem
The default email server is UDI's server, you can always configure your ISY to use your ISP's mail server which may be more reliable.

Trouble Linking A Hidden Door Sensor
Battery operated devices "sleep" until they are locally activated, this prolongs their battery life.. The ISY cannot wake up, or query, a battery operated device that is sleeping. This is why they have to be put into the linking mode in order to either link them or program them from the ISY.

No longer receiving texts and emails...
Check your error log to see if there are any communications errors, also check your ISY configuration to make sure that all the email parameters are correct. Whose server are you using for emails?

2441TH Two Wire w/o Power
You should see log entries every time the temperature or humidity changes. if you're not seeing those in the log and a factory reset doesn't correct the problem then I would try a replacement unit.

Climate Module No Longer Working
You'll probably need to upgrade the 99i to a 994 as the 99i is no longer supported with firmware updates. The newer firmware for the 994 supports HamWeather which is where the climate module gets its data.

Problems accessing control center
Clearwater1957 The following is from an earlier post regarding the ISY not showing up in your network window. Hope this helps Techman Hello don4628, I am so very sorry to hear. Due to security concerns, we disabled UPnP by default. If you would like ISY to show up in your Network window, then you need to go to Admin Console | Configuration | System | Network and check UPnP. Or, you can simply use: http://isy.universal-devices.com/994i/admin.jnlp With kind regards, Michel

2441TH Two Wire w/o Power
If you put 24 volts on a system that is a millivolt system you'll most likely burn out the coil in the gas valve. (a millivolt system uses a thermocouple which is heated by the pilot light and produces a low voltage that opens the gas valve). If the heater has only two wires running to the thermostat then it's most likely a millivolt system.

2441TH Two Wire w/o Power
Waketech, It doesn't appear that the thermostat is compatible with your system. See attached installation notes. You might be able to use the relay in an IOLinc to turn on your heater and a wireless thermostat to control the IOLinc.
