  1. Techman's post in Issues connecting with Insteon devices was marked as the answer   
    @smorgasbord
    Attached is an updated set of instructions for replacing the PLM on an EISY/POLISY
    Personally, I prefer the USB PLM as there's one less thing to fail.  It's also easier to locate the PLM away from the controller using a USB cable.

    Try using Multimedia Messaging Service, which AT&T still supports.

  4. Techman's post in Z Matter not working was marked as the answer   
    Try removing power from the controller for a few minutes. If that doesn't resolve your issue then post a copy of your error log
  5. Techman's post in Question about "restore" was marked as the answer   
    The ISY backup is located on the harddrive of your computer.  It's named IoX-Backup.v(your firmware version #)_(date of backup)
    Your existing ISY firmware is OK for the migration.
    If you're using the same PLM you had on the ISY, then power down both systems, Remove the PLM from the ISY and connect it to the eisy, then power up the eisy.
    On the eisy, under FILE, select restore IoX. Select the ISY Backup file you just created
     
     
     
  6. Techman's post in Scene issues after PLM replacement was marked as the answer   
    @gempro
    The link tables for a scene are contained in the devices themselves, so if you disconnect the PLM the scenes should still work, i.e. if you have 3 devices in a scene and turn on one of the devices the other devices should respond.
    Not knowing how you first installed the PLM it's probably best to do a factory reset on your PLM and then follow the written instructions for replacing a PLM. See attached file.

  7. Techman's post in Lots of "-170001 <s:Envelope><s:Body>....." was marked as the answer   
    170001 are informational, not errors, you can ignore them. you most likely have a device, program or node server that's very active.

  9. Techman's post in Tempest Forcast node deletion... was marked as the answer   
    In the PG3x configuration for Weatherflow you should set the forcast option to 0. You may have to delete and reinstall the node server for that to take effect

  10. Techman's post in Gremlins happening with my Insteon devices and EISY was marked as the answer   
    It appears that you have a communications problem between the PLM and your devices.  It's possible that the you could have interference on the powerline. Have you recently added any new appliances or other electricial devices?
    Take a look at this wiki article:
    INSTEON: Troubleshooting Communications Errors - Universal Devices, Inc. Wiki (universal-devices.com)
  11. Techman's post in Beginner Question adding Z-wave device to EISY was marked as the answer   
    When you add a Zwave device to the eisy you'll most likely end up with extra nodes that you don't need. The reason being is that, unlike Insteon,  zwave devices are designed to work with various Zwave hubs, and each hub may require and/or support these extra nodes.
    What most of us do is create a folder and move the nodes we don't use into that folder which will give you a cleaner device tree.
    I've attached 2 files that may help explain associations. Being that the eisy already supports scenes you most likely won't need the associations or scenes nodes that the device installs

  12. Techman's post in After power cycling of Polisy, Weatherflow NS requires “restart” was marked as the answer   
    Are you running tha latest version of PG3x (3.2.7)?
    What is your Polisy firmware and UI version?
    Are you obtaining your Weatherflow data locally from the Hub or remotely?
    The Weatherflow data should automatically populate your Polisy after a reboot.
  13. Techman's post in Iox Backup speed increase? was marked as the answer   
    What you're experiencing is correct. The backup process was modified in the 5.8.4 firmware. It now takes about a second for the backup to write to your harddrive.

  16. Techman's post in Upgrading to v5.8.4 seems to have bricked my eisy was marked as the answer   
    Try removing power from the eisy for a few minutes then boot it up.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue then it's best to submit a support ticket
  17. Techman's post in No-Show: TriSensor 8 Battery Level was marked as the answer   
    @GHenry
    It appears that the battery level may not be reported until the level changes. You can also try waking up the sensor by holding the set button down for 3 seconds then query the sensor.  If that doesn't work then contact Aeotec support, they're very responsive.
    The folllowing is from Aeotec
    Battery level will be checked every time the device wakes up. These includes the wake-up timer, motion trigger, button click. When the battery state changed, a battery report command will be sent to the controller

  19. Techman's post in Persistent green “binary” arrows was marked as the answer   
    Try bringing the devices closer to the the controller. 
    On the tri sensor 8, click on write updates on your controller,  then hold the set button on the sensor down for 3 seconds, the led should then blink blue once, and the writes should take place.
  20. Techman's post in Aeotec recessed door sensor, strange message. was marked as the answer   
    If you're adding it with S2 authentication then it's is looking for an access code.
    Try adding it using S0 (no security) which also draws less battery current over the life of the battery.
