  1. It's widely known that certain pieces of equipment can interfere with insteon signals. Your original locations may have allowed things to work (you just didn't notice the system wasnt running optimally). A filter Linc can help if that is the cause
  2. The ups can kill the insteon signal which probably didn't help. Try unplugging that and see what happens
  3. Try plugging it into a different outlet. Is there any9else plugged in near the plm
  4. Most likely it's getting confused with the name which throws things off. Try naming it something outside of anything you're using to see if that works. As long as devices are setup properly in the ISY and portal, most issues will come down to the name. If something isn't working properly, I would ensure its the actual device (and not a scene) and try calling it something outside of what you're currently using
  5. The RF range hasn't been an issue for me. But then again, I tend to shy away from putting things too far from systems I install (I only do new construction full remodels). I only use xantach emitters and have never had an issue with those....even with long runs. They are slightly more expensive than others but worth the cost. The hardwired ethernet connection is definitely worth it to me. It's also why I use the ring elite doorbell. While wifi is getting better, too many devices are being added to homes now to trust it from an integration standpoint. I wish harmony would add ethernet to the regular hub.
  6. The pro is actually pretty good for an Integrator who needs something lower cost than other solutions such as RTI ,C4, and URC (their top remotes). C4 and RTI are great for media or theater rooms but they are highly restrictive at their price point for secondary rooms such as bedrooms. For an Integrator, you don't have to worry about the coustomer messing around and trying to add something and completely screwing up the remote. You can also remotely make changes which saves on time since it cuts down on travel. Also, you can use your own emitters for it directly which means less parts to go bad. For an end user, I agree with you that it's overkill as the elite does the exact same thing for half the price. You can even do what the pro does (in regards to IR) simply by adding a 10.00 adapter and your own ir emitter kit. The problem with buying a pro as a consumer is that harmony still requires an account if you want to program it. A person can sell it but without an account, it's worthless to the end user. Even if you find a dealer willing to cut you a deal, most likely, they wouldnt give away their account information for you to program it.
  7. Did you do restore plm and restore devices?
  8. That's up to udi whether they want to cross that push. It's not something I would do and bring that they haven't (nor commented)I would think there's a chance they feel the same way. What can be found while you're on your own network vs sending via an unsecured method are 2 different things
  9. It is up to the user. As a business, udi may not want to open themselves up to that by easily providing a method.
  10. Green light on the side. Normally if something is wrong the ISY would boot up in safe mode (depending on firmware used).
  11. My thought was if you received an email with the ISY address in it and someone got the email, you just given them the information to your system. While it may not mean anything to the avg person, someone with knowledge could get enough information to potentially get inside. Same reason most people on her will cross out their up addresses when they post on here
  12. Ensure both firmware and UI match. Go to file>restore devices>file>restore plm
  13. Zwave creates a secure key between the board and device which is why you need to back the board up separately. It's akin to having a sd card in your phone. You would need to back both up separately. Every zwave mfg. has their own way to add/remove devices. You'll need to find the manuals to see what your devices require. Make sure you exclude them before trying to add them.
  14. There's alot you can do. The only limitation is your imagination
  15. They're usb powered
  16. I haven't. Try factory resetting the devices and restoring them in the ISY
  17. I'm surprised your x10 worked if the plm went bad seeing that x10 needs the Plm too
  18. It's enabled. Pertinent information such as your make/model of phone, android version, Isy setup, firmware and UI will help with troubleshooting and bug fixes
  19. On and fast on are just part of the drop down menu. Has nothing to do with the sensor. What's your firmware and UI? Post your programs
  20. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Resetting_Your_Userid/Password#ISY-26
  21. Most likely you have a programming running that is causing it
  22. No there is not. What you are asking for probably would not happen either due to security concerns
  23. There lies the issue. Companies make things for the way THEY intend for it to be used knowing they need to protect themselves from end users using it in other ways. Some are more open than others about this. However, the best way to handle those situations is to go with whomever best fills what you are looking for.
  24. I can't help with exact version it was changed in. If I had to take a chance, I'd go with the 1.05
