When you downloaded the new version of the ISY finder did you first clear your java cache including checking the box "all installed applications" I have Java 8 ver 341 on windows 10 and the launcher works without issues.

I have no problem reaching the store. UD Store - Universal Devices (universal-devices.com)

Is the smoke bridge currently linked to the HUB or the ISY? If it was once linked to the HUB and then linked to the ISY did you factory reset it before you linked it to the ISY?
-
If you use the Insteon ON/OFF switch, there isn't a required minimum load, but it's not dimmable.

@Sachelis Internet Explorer was discontinued on June 15, 2022 and is no longer supported by Microsoft. Microsoft's current browser is Microsoft Edge

I think we all need to be patient and let this play out over the next few months. Ken Fairbanks is currently dealing with a dump truck full of manure that he inherited. His visions look promising, let's hope he succeeds. Interesting article below: Insteon's new boss is ready for business - Stacey on IoT | Internet of Things news and analysis

@Geddy The OP in his original post stated he was using the Polisy, there was no mention of the ISY994. So I guess there was a bit of confusion.
-
@Snibley You're attempting to update the Polisy from PG2 which has been depreciated. Instead, you should use the admin console, Under System | Upgrade packages. Also, if your "upgrade bios" is not greyed out then you need to upgrade that as well. ,
-
@Snibley The only update option in the admin console I have under system is "Upgrade Packages". Is that what you're referring to? Exactly where does the green bar appear?
-
Out of curiosity, where did you see the green bar? I've never had one, even when I've had pending updates. When I click on updates the admin console shuts down and then the Polisy updates.
-
"news" could mean a deal has been reached. Not necessarily that the product availability is imminent.

@GlowingHair Is this what you're looking for? ISY-994i Series:EMail and Networking Substitution Variables - Universal Devices, Inc. Wiki (universal-devices.com)
-
Assign them to a variable, then create a program to send the variables to an email or text message via the ISY notifications
-
When the leak sensor is in the WET state, the ISY should show the wet status as on and the DRY status as off. Once the sensor is no longer detecting water the SET button on the sensor needs to be pushed once in order to clear the wet state as the sensor will not automatically switch its status to DRY

Here's the complete news update from Insteon Hi everyone, I know it has been a few weeks since I provided an update to the entire Insteon community. We have had our heads down on a variety of efforts and it is time to let you know where we are at again. We hope you are as excited as we are about the direction we are headed! Hub Subscriptions Again, thank you to those who have already placed orders! And if you have not placed one, it is not too late to place an order and prevent an interruption of your Hub services. Please order before August 1 at: https://www.insteon.com/store On-Hand Inventory We have great news to share! We expect to be able to take orders for on-hand inventory by mid-August. We are converting to a new e-commerce shopping platform that will give us improved functionality and we are currently working on that integration. As a reminder, our on-hand inventory will be limited by product types - and limited availability on top of that. And as previously mentioned, we do have orders in process at our factories for additional units and a greater scope of product, but those are much longer lead times before they hit our warehouse. Customer Support We are slowly (but surely) working through our backlog of customer email and form submission inquiries. While we have made progress, we realize it’s far from ideal so we are making dedicated efforts to add resources and improve our processes. We recently moved to a more robust customer contact platform that will allow us to respond in a much more streamlined and efficient manner. If you have unanswered inquiries, please expect to get more details from us in the coming days. Insteon Forum We are excited to share that the Insteon Support Community forum is back online! We are still working on a few integration bugs since we moved to a new server, but we are ready for people to get back to posting and supporting each other. We encourage you to login/sign up to utilize this peer-to-peer resource: https://forum.insteon.com Also, be sure to join the Insteon Facebook group for additional community support: https://www.facebook.com/groups/757676351098971 Surveys We will be conducting surveys on topics ranging from app feature requests to inventory priority requests. Things like what third-party software and hardware you use so we can help prioritize our further integration with them. Or, to let us know what devices you’d like us to add support for in the Insteon for Lighting app. We want your voice to help guide us in our roadmap.

The device sends either an ON or OFF heartbeat signal, the ISY or the Polisy just displays what it receives from the device.
-
My heartbeat program is set to run at startup. If the program doesn't receive an ON or OFF the THEN clause timer starts and will ultimately send the failure notification. The program needs to have the THEN clause manually executed when you first create it. I have a lot of battery-operated devices and have never had the program let me down or not received a heartbeat signal as long as the battery voltage was sufficient.
-
The on/off signal is sent by the sensor and usually alternates between ON and OFF, the ISY/Polisy only displays the status sent by the device. The heartbeat signal cannot be queried. It's sent out about every 24 hours but can vary by an hour, which is why I gave the program 26 hours to listen for the heartbeat signal. That way you won't get a false alert if the signal is delayed. Not sure why you're not seeing a change on the second device, maybe try deleting and reinstalling the sensor will fix it, or you can try doing a factory reset on the device then a restore device from the Polisy
-
The heartbeat signal status alternates between ON and OFF, this is normal. The following program can be used to send a notification if there's no heartbeat signal IF Control Heartbeat is not switched ON or Control Heartbeat is not switched OFF THEN wait 26 hours Send Heartbeat fail notification ELSE

@Michel Kohanim The "dark ages" doesn't sound appealing, any chance you could reach out to Ken Fairbanks for an update. I would assume it would be to his financial benefit to keep you in the loop being that you represent a fairly large Insteon user base. Do you have, or need, his contact info?
-
@cdave1252 Did you follow these instructions? If you're still have issues then try installing the 32 bit version of Java 1. Clear your Java Cache, including installed applications2. Go to https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp3. Click on the desired ISY row and, from the menu, choose the Admin Console
-
Make sure you have the "Insteon support" box checked on the Polisy configuration page. Did you move the PLM over from the ISY? Is the green power LED on the PLM lit and a solid green? Do you have another PLM to DB9 cable you can try? Are you using the one that shipped with the PLM? It's possible that if you've been "experimenting" with power outages you may have corrupted the PLM link table in which case you should do a factory reset on the PLM, then a restore PLM.
