I have no Z-Wave board, and based on what I am reading, most of my modules seem to be dated.. That said upgrading from 5.0.9 to 5.3.2 should be fairly straight forward or will there be some surprises I better be prepared for ?? Have a couple of scenes programed, and outside of the above issue everything seems to be solid... Thanks Roman

Thank you so much, yes using the 2456S3 module Ver 4.9... To clarify, everything was working fine under ISY firmware 5.0.4, When I upgraded to firmware 5.0.9 due to adding the new chime, this is when the issue began and was not until just recently that I thought I should address this. Now I did try to reset the 2456S3... Holding the SET Button I plugged the Module back into a receptacle, and held the SET Button for another 3 seconds... Still no LED light. During the write process when I tried to make the RemoteLinc 2 Switch control the responder 2456S3, this is when the 2456S3 "corrupted" and cannot seem to be able to reset it ?? The dead units I did delete from the ISY so no issues, and just happened to have my last spare of the 2456S3.. which linked no problem and I can control with the ISY, but definitely not going to be syncing with the RemoteLinc 2 for I have now lost 2 of the 2456S3.. Going to try one more time to do a factory reset of the 2456S3 module as per above.. But seems I am now limited to steps 3-5 3. While holding down the black SET Button on ApplianceLinc, plug it back in.4. After plugging ApplianceLinc back in, continue to hold down the black SET Button for 3 seconds.5. Release the black SET Button. Appreciate Roman PS.. not liking it but realizing I need to start getting ready to be called old LOL... Also what replaced the 2456S3, for I really liked the ALWAYS ON receptacle this unit has.

Okay this is just weird... so now that I got it working with DNS entry 8.8.8.8 I thought why not just give it a try, so I switched back to my internal address of the so that the ISY now points back to my server.. and all is working... Very interesting... Appreciate the insight from the above post... Helped.. though not the same but treated it as the same... Roman

Very interesting, seems to be a DNS entry issue... My DNS was pointing to my server, like it always did.. for some reason after reading the below thread I inputted an external DNS entry 8.8.8.8 vs my internal server, and it seems to work now... Why all of a sudden does the ISY have issues with my Internal DNS ????

I am on firmware 5.0.9, for been working solid figured why mess.. I noticed that my scene with RemoteLinc 2 and Insteon Plug-In Appliance 2456S3 that there was an error with the Appliance module. So I added a new once, tried to run the replace command with no success.. So then manually added to the scene the new 2456S3 and same problem error and now cannot SET/Add either the old module or the new Module.. Seems something corrupted.. Is this a known issue with firmware 5.0.9 for it looks like now I have 2 dead Insteon Plug-In Appliance module 2456S3... Or is there a RESET button of some sort that I could try on both of these, now dead ? 2456S3 modules ?? Help been one of those days... Roman

Tried that, rebooted, router, server and ISY with no success ??? Nothing else changed, port forwarding is still in the router as before ??? Tried the obvious.. My other software I updated with then new Static IP and that works.. I did not see an area in the ISY Portal to be able to do so or within the ISY device itself.... Appreciate the response...

Just recently I have had my static IP address changed by my Internet provider, and now my ISY shows OFFLINE.. Is there a way for me to update the ISY Portal regarding the update to my new static IP address for this all happened after I changed the static IP. Thanks Roman

LeeG, My problem actually was a silly on... I had to put a condition under the chime asking to check if sensor was ON then chime.. I had left this condition out and only had state conditions which were from the logs being triggered as true.. Adding the sensor condition must be on resolved my issue. Reverse trigger did the opposite of what I wanted done.. Thanks for your assistance, led me in the right direction.. Roman

Thanks LeeG, Just noticed Trigger Reverse option is not ticked.. Will tick and hopefully solves my issue. Thought so much... Roman

Thank you for addressing Item #3. Been fighting with this command for some time now. I have a beeper hooked up such that if the Sensor reads an ON command then my beeper will beep. Unfortunately the beeper beeps at 100% as well also beeps at 0%. I hope that by adding the option from just sensor ON, OFF or respond, that the % amount can be added thereby I belive will fix my issue if I can then state vs if ON beep to if 100% then beep. Thanks

Okay, have some more thinking and testing to do. Thanks

I noticed that my Variable Alarm was not a STATE variable.. I have updated this. All other variables are state... Top program should run first if true, based on the IF statement of the 2 variables being Christmas time being 1 and Alarm = 0 this way based on my thinking should trigger the THEN part of the program. Should Christmas time = 1 and Alarm = 1 (on) then based on my thinking the ELSE statement should trigger. By triggering the ELSE statement the second code is then run. In the 2nd code the only time Christmas Outdoor lights would turn on is if both Variable STATE of Christmas Time is Equal to 1 and Alarm is equal to 1. Christmas Time variable so far is being calculated correctly. Am I overthinking this??? Too many conditions to trigger programs???

I have a Variable called Christmas time. It is currently working fine and showing me the Variable $Christmas_Time_State as a State Variable 0 Now at sunset I tell the ISY within the program folder called sunset to run several commands one of which is to run Christmas Lights Alarm Off currently the STATE $Christmas_Time_State is set at 0. Here is my problem all the Christmas lights are turning on, and they are not yet suppose to be for$Christmas_Time_State is 0... Here is the program folder (Christmas Lights Alarm Off) I created that within sunset it asks that it run... If $Christmas_Time_State is 1 And $Alarm is 0 Then Set 'Christmas Tree' On Set 'Christmas Lights Family Room' On Set 'Christmas Lights Outdoors' On Else Run Program 'Christmas Lights Alarm ON' (If) Problem I am having is $Christmas_Time_State = 0 yet all the THEN commands are running? Even if the ELSE statement ran that is fine for the program Christmas Lights Alarm ON looks as follows: (so I figure even if this one is called and $Christmas_Time_State = 0 then nothing will happen as far as turning on Christmas lights go) If $Christmas_Time_State is 1 And $Alarm is 1 Then Set 'Christmas Lights Outdoors' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') What have I missed that the ISY seems to get confused..

Thanks for the begining post shows it as Release 3.3.5 (RC1) and hence my confusion

How can I tell if I have RC1 version or the RC2 version.. Something changed and I now notice it is called 3.3.5 (RC2) yet I cannot tell which version I am running RC1 or RC2?? Help..

Is it me or is the CURRENT Status not reflecting correctly?? I do a query and all is fine on the individual devices?? Maybe it just needs to run through a 24 hr cycle to update??

Changed variable to "STATE" now even with the STATE of $Accent_Lighting_State = 0 now it runs the THEN program vs the ELSE program?? Confused??? If $Accent_Lighting_State is 1 Then Set 'Front Door Hall Light Frt' On Set 'Bedroom Hallway Upr' On Set 'Family Room Staircase Light L' On Wait 1 minute Set 'Bedroom Hallway Upr' Off Wait 2 minutes Set 'Front Door Hall Light Frt' Off Set 'Family Room Staircase Light L' Off Else Set 'Front Door Hall Light Frt' 55% Set 'Bedroom Hallway Upr' 40% Wait 2 minutes Set 'Front Door Hall Light Frt' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Bedroom Hallway Lwr' Off

Thanks found an old post of having the lights turn on and off based on 2 second wait time.. Hopefully never really have to run this command for only time it would run is if the Burglar Alarm went off. Thanks

Thanks got some reading to do.. From what I read if I change the variable from Integer to State looks like this will solve my problem. For all worked fine for the Then, just never triggered the else.. Thanks

Yes the program is in a Folder called Courtesy lights. $Accent_Lighting is a variable that is checked that I programmed into the Variable tab. Just noticed that my variable is an INTEGER. What is the difference between Integer and State?

Coming from the X10 switches I was able to send an ALL OFF LIGHTS command to a certain address such as Address A. Is it possible with the Insteon Lights to send an ALL OFF command say to all lights? Or do we have to program this in one light at a time?? Also is there a way to make the lights flash on and off for a while if a certain command is received. In my case when the burglar alarm goes off it sends a certain X10 code, what I would like the ISY to do is if this code is received to flash on and off certain lights until the X10 off code for the alarm is received. Thanks

Seems the below code works great with regards to the "THEN" condition however what I am hoping to do is run the "ELSE" program . $Accent_Lighting is only = to 1 between Sunset and 11pm, then at 11pm the value changes to 0 so my understanding is then the ELSE statement should run yet it does not?? What am I missing???? If $Accent_Lighting is 1 Then Set 'Front Door Hall Light Frt' On Set 'Bedroom Hallway Upr' On Set 'Family Room Staircase Light L' On Wait 1 minute Set 'Bedroom Hallway Upr' Off Wait 2 minutes Set 'Front Door Hall Light Frt' Off Set 'Family Room Staircase Light L' Off Else Set 'Front Door Hall Light Frt' 55% Set 'Bedroom Hallway Upr' 40% Wait 2 minutes Set 'Front Door Hall Light Frt' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Bedroom Hallway Lwr' Off

Funny I was thinking of doing the exact same thing, takes up a bit more room but I see when it detects power/just like plugging it in it will chime. Does it also chime when it turns off (Insteon device) ?

Thank you very much for the reply. I am currently taking inventory of my over 50 X10 modules, and decided after this post to keep the HR12A Palm Pads as well as the X10 Chime which is much cheaper option. Looks like I will upgrade to the X10 module so I can better record what is address actually is. Thanks Roman

Does INSTEON make a chime much like the X10 version?? Trying to upgrade all devices from X10 to INSTEON, cannot seem to locate a Chime ?? Thanks, so far the upgrade is going very well. Love the 2 way communication. Steill debating whter or not to purchase the X10 add in module, still trying to debate the $50 module price... Roman
