  1. The ISY only supports the 2413S
  2. Take a look at the ISY cookbook, not sure but there may be some helpful info in it. https://www.universal-devices.com/docs/production/The+ISY994+Home+Automation+Cookbook.pdf
  3. You can try removing power from the ISY, then remove the SD card and clean its contacts with a soft eraser. then reset the SD card. If you're still then having the problem, it's possible that the SD card failed its rare but it does happen. Upgrading Your SD Card In some instances, you may want to replace your SD card. For example: • You are experiencing a blinking ERR light which could indicated a bad SD card. The ISY supports up to a 16GB SD card. Once your SD card is replaced, you will need to re-load the firmware onto your ISY as well as restore your configuration from a backup. Please be sure to have a good backup before attempting an SD card upgrade. With you ISY you have an externally accessible SD card. Simply unplug all cables from your ISY, pull out the old SD card, and insert the new SD card. You will also need to reload the firmware onto your ISY. Proceed to the paragraph labeled “Reloading The ISY Firmware and Restoring From Backup.
  4. Make sure the ethernet cable is plugged into "Network" on the back of the ISY.The most likely error is due to ISY having a static IP address and the router blocking DNS from IPs not generated by DHCP server. If you have configured ISY with a static IP address, please consider Reverting to DHCP, Or Use 8.8.4.4 for the DNS server In case of using DHCP, you may consider using DHCP Reservation in the router such that ISY is always given the same IP address. If you have port forwarding rules in your router to ISY, please make sure that only TCP is forwarded (NOT UDP or both). If you are using DDWRT, PFSense, or any other home grown routers, then please note that DNSMasq will not work. --------------------------------------------------------- Clear your Java cache, including installed applications, then download the ISY Launcher https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp
  5. @alambertus Try removing power from the ISY, wait about 15 seconds then power it up.
  6. @tedolsen Error light and Memory light blinking simultaneously: ISY is not able to get on the network.Please ensure: The Network jack on the back of ISY is connected to your router The lights on the Network jack have one steady on and the other one blinking. If not, check cable and connectivity to the router Your router provides DHCP There are no other devices on the network with the same IP address (IP Conflict) If you have configured your ISY to use DHCP, then you will have to search your network for devices that might be in the same DHCP range as your router is providing If you have configured your ISY with a static IP address, and as long as you have a good backup, you can Factory Reset your ISY and then restore a good backup (File | Restore ISY). Once prompted to change the network settings, choose No
  7. No, however the Polisy may be able to do over the air device firmware updates in the near future once its upcoming internal Z-wave board is released later this year.
  8. When you clear your Java cache and its applications that will also remove the ISY Finder from your desktop., which you'll then need to re-install If you still have the issue after reinstalling the ISY finder, then you should open a support ticket with UDI
  9. When you open the ISY Launcher do you see the Polisy. Post a screen shot.
  10. Which Z-wave dongle do you have installed the 300 or 500 series? After you did your firmware upgrade did you clear your Java cache including all installed applications and then download the ISY Launcher? Are you only using Z-wave or do you also have Insteon devices installed?
  11. @DirtRoad Try removing power from the PLM and the ISY, then power up the PLM, wait about 15 seconds then power up the ISY If your able to access the ISY via the admin console on your LAN then the router is not the issue.
  12. Clear your Java cache, including all installed applications, then download the ISY Launcher - https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp
  13. @tritip.films What PC operating system are you using? What's the firmware and UI version showing on your Polisy? What version of Java are you running? Did you clear your Java cache, including all applications, before downloading the ISY Launcher?
  14. Factory reset procedure After the reset do a restore device 1) Pull out SwitchLinc Set button to remove power 2) Wait 5 seconds 3) Push in Set button and hold it. Do not let go SwitchLinc will emit a long beep 4) When long beep stops, release Set button A few seconds will pass SwitchLinc will double-beep The connected load will turn on
  15. @Michel Kohanim Any updates from Insteon on the PLM? Will they license the technology to you?
  16. It appears that there's a password/authentication error when you use the LAN Make sure that AUTOMATIC DHCP is enabled in the ISY configuration Are you using the latest version of Java 8? Try cleaning your Java cache including all installed applications, then download the ISY launcher.
  17. What is your firmware and UI versions? Are you using the ISY Launcher to access your ISY?
  18. Some Z-wave devices include extra nodes, it's possible that some controllers use those nodes. In order for UD to eliminate the phantom nodes they would have to look at every available Z-wave device which is time and cost prohibitive. Best to follow the advice in the posts above.
  19. Why not create your own custom .wav sounds using an open source program like Audacity. It's quick and easy.
  20. @GQuack It's recommended that you update the ISY to 5.3.4 prior to the migration. You should also update the Polisy to the latest firmware prior to the move, Here's the migration notes: Polisy:User Guide - Universal Devices, Inc. Wiki (universal-devices.com)
  21. Are you bringing back the Insteon forum? Yes. It's high on our list of to-do's and it will be coming back soon. What happened to smarthome.com? Another entity has purchased the smarthome.com domain – Insteon is no longer connected to Smarthome. You’ll be able to buy Insteon products directly through Insteon.com and other partners in the future. If you still have unanswered questions, please reach out to support@insteon.com - response times are long while we rebuild the team. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
  22. Clear your Java cache including checking the box all "installed applications" then run click on this link: https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp This will install the ISY launcher on your desktop. Are you running Windows or a Mac? What's your ISY firmware version?
  23. For those that made the leap forward there's no reason to turn back. I expect, based on what the new Insteon owners have said thus far, we will see the Insteon devices become available again. The timeline is uncertain due to numerous constraints, have patience. Riddle solved.
  24. Several years ago I was told by the head of product development at Smartlabs that they were working on developing a programable touch keypad. I don't know if it ever made it off the drawing board or if they ever developed a prototype.
  25. Agreed, change the name of the forum. The new company is called INSTEON TECHNOLOGIES, LLC.
