Do you know what the firmware version is on your ISY Click on this link which will install the Admin console launcher icon on your desktop. Once installed, click on the icon to open your admin console. https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp

You're better off waiting. The newer PLMs have updated firmware, updated RS232 interface,, updated capacitors, and increased memory.

The ISY requires the serial version. Currently the PLM is on back order from Smarthome, you may have to wait until the end of December or January before they become available. It's also possible that an updated version of the PLM may be what's back ordered. This is what you'll need: Serial Modem Interface | HouseLinc Compatible |Smarthome

The test message you refer to is that an email or a text ? If the test text message is working then the problem is most likely in your program(s)

What operating system are you running When you cleared your java cache did you check all 3 boxes? Did you download the ISY launcher from here: Release 4.8.0 Is Now Official - Current Release, Betas, and Bug Reports - Universal Devices Forum (universal-devices.com)

Take a look at the Ring cameras. I believe that there's a Ring node server for ring.

Here's what you're looking for: INSTEON Random All On Events Random All On events are related to INSTEON commands being sent to the PLM from ISY and, on the other hand, one (or more) INSTEON devices sending events to the PLM at the same time and thus causing packet collision. RF/dual band devices increase the likelihood of this event since they send two packets for each signal. The combination of the following technique will dramatically reduce the likelihood of All On events: You don't have any programs that use Control for a device and then send a Scene command to a scene which includes the same physical device. So different buttons from the same KPL are considered one device Don't Use a Control for a device which is already a Controller for some Scene and then have the program send other INSTEON commands to other devices/scenes. This basically causes two or more events arrive at the PLM at the same time In addition, motion sensors with low battery, sometimes go crazy and start sending sequences of on/off every second or so. As such: Check Tools | Log for sequences of motion sensor on/off every few seconds and in succession If you do have those, change the motion sensor battery

I stand corrected, the newer Feit bulbs have concealed a a small driver circuit in the base of the bulb. These bulbs will dim almost all the way down and I have not experienced any flicker even at the lowest dim setting.

also, make sure the battery in the mini remote is fully charged and that's it's within range of either your PLM or a dual band device.

Here's the line of bulbs I was referring to. I believe that the Insteon dimmers use a TRIAC to reduce their output voltage. https://www.feit.com/product/810-lumen-2700k-dimmable-led/

Some of the earlier generation LED bulbs incorporated a driver circuit which, in some instances, responded to fluctuations in the line voltage, thus the flicker. The newer generation led bulbs, especially some of the FEIT bulbs, no longer use driver circuits, just an LED element. Not only do they run cooler but they also weigh less as they don't require a heat sink.

Did you go through all the troubleshooting tips in the attached video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMx5yHTU2g4 Have you added any new electronics lately?

5.3.0 is incompatible with the 300 series Zwave board. If you're not sure which board you have take a look at the Zwave firmware version. If it's not 6.8.1 then you have the 300 series board and will need to update to the 500 series board.

5.3.0 does not support the 300 series board. For now you're OK to stay with 5.0.16C If you decide to add some Zwave devices later on then it's best to upgrade to the 500 series board and the 5.3.0 ISY firmware. For more information read the release notes for the various versions.

It's not unusual to end up with unexplained nodes. To clean up the device tree I created a folder and put all the unused nodes in it. I noticed that you have a pending write for ZW038, Right click on that node and then write updates.

The Zwave dongle does not support an external antenna, and has an effective range of about 25 feet depending on walls etc. To get the best coverage you should install a zwave repeater / extender such as this one within about 25 feet of your ISY. https://www.amazon.com/Aeotec-Range-Extender-Z-Wave-repeater/dp/B01M6CKJXC/ref=asc_df_B01M6CKJXC/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167135357001&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4740950404248099910&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9030974&hvtargid=pla-343932047164&psc=1

Yes, 5.3.0 is the final official release. Read the release notes before you update.

The 300 series zwave dongle is not compatible with ISY 5.3.0 firmware. . You'll need to purchase and install the 500 series dongle You can buy it here: https://www.universal-devices.com/product/z-wave-module/

What's your ISY firmware and UI version? Do you have the 300 or the 500 series Zwave board in your ISY?

Unlikely you were compromised. Try rebooting the ISY. It appears that the ISY reverted to the default email configuration rather than your own email server. If the reboot doesn't help then remove power from the ISY and then remove and reseat the SD card.

thank you

I don't yet have a portal account. When I try to log into the temporary portal option using my admin console credentials It's rejected.

Never received the notice. Is there a replacement other than the node server?

When I log into the admin console I get the following message. Has the climate module been discontinued or is a bug that's related to the earlier firmware version 4.8.0 I've been running 5.0.16C for quite a while.

It's probably best to use two programs Program 1 If light is off and door is opened and time is xxx then turn light on -------------------------------- Program 2 If light if on and door is opened then turn light off
