Clear your Jave cache and applications again. If you have any anti-virus / firewall software and/or windows defender, try disabling it before you run START.JNLP

All your devices and programs will not be affected by the firmware change and will remain intact. Be sure to do a ISY backup and a Zwave backup before any firmware update as an insurance policy. Being that you're on the latest firmware version, the firmware update to the one that supports the PLM is just an academic exercise.

Try connecting it, you have nothing to lose. But the downside is if you have a PLM failure the ISY won't know about it. What's your current ISY firmware version, if it's an older version you should update it.

The difference in the firmware is that the firmware that's the Zwave only version doesn't look for a PLM and thus won't give you an error message when it can't find one. Be sure to make a an ISY backup before and after you add a PLM back to your system

You can update packages by pressing the reset, on the front of the Polisy, button once. But first try removing power to see if that resolves the issue.

Assuming your SD card was inserted, then it sounds like an ISY failure. You should have had blinking leds with no network and PLM cables attached

Update your packages, then remove power from the ISY or Polisy. Power up, now is it there?

Remove power from the ISY, then disconnect the PLM and the network cables, then power up the ISY, what leds are lit and/or blinking?

Polisy firmware was recently updated to 5.4.5 Update your packages. If you're then still have issues, remove power from the Polisy for about 15 seconds.

I now have Cloud access working I had to remove power from the Polisy. After rebooting the Polisy is now showing version 5.4.5

I also can't launch the Polisy from the cloud. No error message.

Send them an email request. PLMs will be in stock about March, 2023

Thank you, the ISY password that was stored got erased during the update. All is good now.

After the update to 3.1.14 the ISY show as disconnected, not sure what the path is to reconnect.

Glad you're up and running. If you have power issues in your area you might want to pick up a UPS and put the ISY, Router and Modem on it. The PLM should be plugged directly into an outlet not the UPS. The UPS should also have an A/C line filter between it and the outlet in order to filter out the powerline noise they create which interferes with the insteon signals

Try unplugging the power from the ISY, wait about 15 seconds then plug it back in and then try the admin console again

In the recent Insteon zoom call they mentioned that they are planning on supporting Matter. They gave no other details. Being that current products, other than the Hub, cannot be field upgradeable, it might be relegated to the Hub or newly released products

There's really no need for the extra leds. There's only two options, on or off. I doubt they will go back.

What type of loan is the dimmer connected to? If you disconnect the load and watch the dimmer status in the admin console does it still show that the status changes from on to off? Do you have any programs controlling the dimmer that could be in a loop?

They didn't mention how they plan to implement it, just that it was forth coming.

For my lights, I use several scenes, each with different on levels, and call them up with a program. I've not tried your method, so not sure if it's viable. Under scene on levels, the only variable options I have are dates.

For those that didn't listen to the webinar: They mentioned that Insteon will eventually support Matter. You can go onto their store product page and have them email you when an out-of-stock product is available. PLMs, serial and USB will be in stock about March, 2023 and last but not least, they said that they will be coming out with new products next year.

Can you post a copy of your program Is your variable state or integer?

Yes, assuming that the bulb is connected to an Insteon module or a Zwave module. The Polisy cannot control a load directly.
