Bathroom On rates at different times of the day
calberrt add the switchlinc to the scene as a controller. Everything else looks OK as stuviews suggested you should probably shorten the ramp rate. With a long ramp rate by the time the light comes on you'll forget why your in there.

Bathroom On rates at different times of the day
calbert Attached is a program that I use to set the on level of my bath light based on the time of day. You can also add a ramp rate to the same program. You need to have the switch that controls the light in a scene and have the program adjust the scene. If you turn on the light manually, or turn it on via a program which turns on the scene, it will come on at a level set by the program

Restoring ISY-994i From A Backup
You may want to check your electrical connections for the KPL, other than that it sounds like the only option left is to replace it. Keep us posted

Restoring ISY-994i From A Backup
How many scenes are involved and exactly what devices are in each scene? On the scene you created with the ToggleLinc and the MBR KPL what device is wired to the light you're trying to control? Both the ToggleLinc and the KPL should be in the scene as controllers. If you're having trouble communicating with the KPL you could have a bad KPL or some other communication issue. You may also want to check your wire connections on the KPL Are the buttons for the MBR KPL configured as "toggle mode"?

Restoring ISY-994i From A Backup
smokegrub, Are all the buttons in the "toggle mode"? What devices are in your scene?

Restoring ISY-994i From A Backup
Do all 8 LEDS on the family room KPL turn off when you run the scene from the family room KPL or just the A button? What are your settings for the family room KPL "led brightness"? What type of load or device is the family room A button controlling?

Restoring ISY-994i From A Backup
The problem is most likely with the KPL not the ISY. I've had this problem in the past and found that a factory reset of the KPL resolved the issue.

LED Lights on a KeyPad Linc
416to305 If you turn on (or off) the scene in the ISY rather than the LED bulb then your KPL will show the correct status

Random communication issues
Did the scenes ever work correctly? Do you have any CFL or Florescent bulbs in the house, the ballasts associated with these bulbs can slowly fail causing powerline interference. Have you added any new electronics lately that could be causing powerline interference.

Daylight saving time
Hi Michel I'm running 4.2.17. All is working fine on this end, did you mean to respond to JoeA?
-
Daylight saving time
Also the default setting on the ISY is to synchronize with the time server every 24 hours.

Email notification problem "TLS notification failed"
It's possible something may have changed on the mail.me.com server. Try sending an email using the default server. If that works then I would give your email provider a call to see if they made any changes on their end. The ISY is currently not supporting SSL 3.0 which also might be factor.

Java error
There have been issues with Java 8 release 25 with some software vendors, mostly concerning security certificates. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/11915-ssl-certificates/?hl=%2Bjava+%2B1.8&do=findComment&comment=119851

Unable to link new Hidden Door Sensor
Which version of the ISY firmware are you running? If it's an older version it may not support the device you're trying to add.

How to Determine Insteon ID of Motion Sensor
Another option is to run the ISY topology report each time you add a new device. Not only does the report include the device type and its address, but it also includes any notes that you may have attached to the device such as its location etc.

Certificate Issue
Glenn You should upgrade your ISY firmware, 3.3.10 is outdated. This assumes that you have a 994i and not the 99i which was discontinued. The current weather provider, HamWeather, will not work unless you have the latest firmware

UNIVERSAL DEVICES ISY994IZW
The ISY supports either Z-wave or Zigbee, but not both at the same time.

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?

Can't activate Z-Wave module
Can you disable the firewall for a couple of minutes?

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.
