Being such an old system, it may not support newer devices since the firmware has not been updated for it. If it does work with the 99i, factory reset the device and make sure that the ID number was typed in correctly. I prefer to use start linking and pressing the set button so that I don't have to worry about typing something in incorrectly.

1 way to save link space would be to link basic multi-way switches together outside of the Isy. Obviously if your changing brightness levels throughout the day or other programs, you would want to avoid this.

While this nodeserver is great for seeing what your isy has, basic device and scene count is a poor way to figure out link count. For example, an eight button keypad is 9 links but still only 1 device. A 2477d however is 2 links but 1 device. If your house had 50 eight button kpls, you'd have 450 links while a house with 50 dimmer switches would have 100. That's even before you get to scenes. Using the 2 houses described above, 1 scene with 20 kpls will show as 1 scene but the links would then be maxed out while 1 scene with 20 dimmers would still have space

Not necessarily. Link count is more complicated than a simple 1 to 1 comparison. Outside of kpls, most insteon devices do not use many links (1 to 2 depending on device) Since you're close to the PLM limit, it does help to use zwave devices since it's on a different board.

Zwave is not insteon so you are not adding to the PLM link count. That's why it has its own separate board. To eliminate the extra nodes, simply right click on them and delete. You'll also want to go to the zwave tabs and choose freeze additional nodes (something along those lines) once done.

That thing is pretty much worthless beyond being a paperweight. Its been discontinued for years and hasn't seen a firmware update in over 5 years. Definitely wouldn't work with the launcher. If you do not have a PLM hooked up to it, it will be in safe mode.

You shouldn't use a dimmer on non dimmable bulbs.

You could with a program. You would write it like you stated. I would add a delay to account for the device turning off however. If switch is turned off Then wait 2 seconds And turn switch on 10% You'll probably have to play around with the percentage to get it to fit your needs

What happens when you control the scene from the isy directly

Thats a sign of a poor network. I would still take Asbril's advice as it doesn't take much to knock a poor network down and it could potentially affect future automations you may attempt to do. What you are experiencing is akin to your wife yelling at you from the other side of the house. You may hear her and respond most times, but there may be some moments where you don't such as other things creating noise

Currently is not supported. While there's no guarantee a developer will take this on as a project, it'll help your chances if you could find out if they have an open API to use to develop against. If there is an open API, i would post that. The more you assist with providing the necessary documentation, the heater the chance someone will be in helping you

You could always try those solutions. If you haven't already done so, i would recommend a whole house surge protector. The same way you protect your tvs and other electronics, you should do the same with electronic switches and such. This good for whatever mfg. you may choose.

Sounds like it's dead

I think the last 2 posters are trolls.

Firmware and UI? Go to Help>about

Does it matter? Unless you can supply them it's a moot point.

Actually I do know for certain this is related. It's affecting more than just them. Do you know that it's not? With many companies struggling right now and all saying the same thing, what position are you in to say what a single company is doing? If they were simply trying to raise prices they would have already (not to say it won't ever happen). Even their new line is delayed due to the shortages. Going off your reasoning, if there wasn't a chip shortage wouldn't they have already released the new line to make money off it vs. holding back?

The same reason why you don't see many sales on a lot of electronic items....short supply. Unless something changes in regards to this silicon shortage, I doubt you'll see much bigger sales come black Friday either. Since you're ok with the TPlink, you could always buy the TPlink switches you want and then use keypads where you need them.

The steps for port forwarding varies when it comes to different mfg. and setups (ie:double Nat), the mfg. of your router should have that information on their support page or a Google search for port forwarding with you router model number should give you the necessary links (possible videos) to properly set up port forwarding. In regards to the isy, I would recommend using their portal service as it negates the need for port forwarding

There's a polyglot subforum that has a tremendous amount of information including videos on how to get it running on a Rpi. Rain machine also has its own forum here which runs locally. Personally, I'd order Polisy from UDI since Rpi's will not be able to access the new store once released. I only use the nodeserver to stop the sprinkler system should it be running and we have to go outside where we could get wet. The system works great without outside assistance

Surprised with multiple break-ins in the neighborhood they didn't do more... especially with it on video. The Elk alarm has native integration with the isy and its the one i would recommend. DSC can be added via nodeservers but I don't know much about that one.

Did you clear your Java cache? Does your firmware and UI match?

Install the zwave only version of your firmware

A simple question/statement would've been more on the lines of: it's been quiet on here lately, where's everyone at? A passive agressive statement/question to stir the pot, would be similar to: "Has everyone given up waiting for upgrades and moved on to something else?" The intentions behind your original post may not have been to come across in a passive agressive nature trying to start something, however, multiple people did take it that way so yes, that's on you.
