Insteon Battery Powered Devices and Programs
You could create two scenes, one with and one without the device, then have a program call up the scene based on the time. The battery operated devices will need to be put into the linking mode to update their link tables

Can see my eisy (Firm:5.7/UI:5.7) and all insteon devices, but can't control them
@TMcCarthy Is the green led on the PLM lit, if not then its power supply failed. 10 years is quite old for a PLM. The older PLMs has issues with capacitors failing. In the long run you're better off with a USB PLM as there's less to fail.

Insteon open/close sensors
@ShawnW Check to see if there were any additional nodes that were installed during the migration that are showing ON/OFF. I just took a look at my Zwave devices, and some are showing the ON/OFF status. Try a Zwave Synchronize by right clicking on one of the devices then click on synchronize.

What are you using for a motion sensor. Is it battery or A/C powered. What do you mean by it "won't handle all situations", can you elaborate.

Help Needed Getting Basic Program to Work
@KHouse Take a look at this document, the ISY Cookbook, It has a lot of insights into programming. It may take a while for the site to load, you can then save the pdf file for future reference. universal-devices.com/docs/production/The+ISY994+Home+Automation+Cookbook.pdf

Help Needed Getting Basic Program to Work
Your program will only run if the time is exactly 9:00 pm and the light is switched on at exactly that time. Change the first line to Basement Lights STATUS IS ON

Zwave - have both ZW and ZY devices, and finding a Zwave device
Some Z-wave devices tend to install nodes that aren't applicable to UD Controllers. I created a folder and moved those unused nodes into the folder to get them out of the way. When you migrated to the Zmatter dongle the Zwave prefix changes from ZW to ZY.
-
Can multiple Zwave commands be sent at the same time?
I think the controller is able to buffer the commands, however i usually put a second or two wait time in between commands to allow a little breathing room.

Error Log is filling up
Probably best to submit a support ticket. I've never come across the "check log" entry and it's not in the list of error codes.

Programs report "next run" are off by an hour+
I think the problem is that you have several conditions in your "Dusk Sensed" program so the next run time is not a hard number. Try deleting the first two conditions leaving only the Sunset condition and see if the next run time is then correct.

Support Thread for IoX 5.7.0
My programs ran at the correct time. It appears that the UI sunrise / sunset display is incorrect.

Insteon open/close sensors
There's no option to make that change. Maybe in a future firmware update.

Sunset and sunrise times off
@Chris Jahn After the switch to PST my eisy sunrise and sunset display times are also off by an hour. My firmware is 5.7.0_5

How can you avoid new ZWave node numbers when re-adding failed devices?
@mmb The Multisensor is fully compatible with the Zmatter dongle. Something you can try, Right click on the device, then click on "Z-wave", "Rewrite all device links" You can also try putting the sensor into linking mode then query the device, which should then display the battery level.

2342-2 Linking
Make sure your remotelinc is fully charged. Put the remotelinc into the linking mode (hold down the set button until the led begins a slow flash) In the admin console, under "link management", click on "Link a Remotelinc 2" If you're still having trouble linking, then bring the remotelinc closer to your PLM.

Really strange error trying to link a factory reset switch...
Your PLM isn't able to communicate with the device in Patti's room. If you have a long extension cord try plugging the PLM into a different outlet. Either you have some noise on your powerline or some other issue that's interfering with the Insteon signal. Here are a few links to troubleshooting your issues: INSTEON: Troubleshooting Communications Errors - Universal Devices, Inc. Wiki (universal-devices.com) Can't Determine INSTEON engine - YouTube INSTEON Signal / Noise Troubleshooting - Universal Devices, Inc. Wiki (universal-devices.com)

Really strange error trying to link a factory reset switch...
For the bedroom switch, put the event viewer into level 3, then do a restore device. Post the event log results. The green icon means that there are links that need to be written to the device. The red ! means that the PLM can't communicate with the device.
