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

I think the last 2 posters are trolls.

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

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.

The pool deck floods switch is a response not a controller so that is part of it. Make sure the devices are configured in all controllers too, not just the scene. Simply remove the responder and add it back to the scene as a controller

I acknowledged that you updated to 5.3 in your original post which is why I asked if your UI matched. If it doesn't you will have issues such as what you're experiencing. Downloading something doesn't mean your UI matches. The instructions says to clear your Java cache which you did not say whether you did or not. A quick look at the help>about tab would show the information I'm asking for. Your pictures so not show the scene itself from the device column on the left hand side of the admin console.

The isy is not aware of an unplugged device so it will still attempt to do its job by wiring to that device. This week slow down both protocols since the isy is still controlling the whole system. The best way around this would be to either leave the device plugged in or disable removed devices do it will skip it. Upgrading to the pro version allowed you to disable writing to wireless devices

You never said if your UI matched your firmware. If they do not, this could be why your isy is behaving this way Check your scene itself. Controllers should be in red while responders are blue. If you want these lights to behave as if they were a multi-way switch then all should be controllers

In addition to what was already posted, I would verify your 6 button is not in non toggle on mode. If it is, the button will always stay on. If all devices are associated together and controlling each other the same exact way, I would add each one to a single scene (if it's not already) as a controller and making sure all are triggering each other the same. Since you've recently updated, make sure that your firmware and UI matches.

Its neither but if you wanted to be technical about it, then it would be a status condition. Status about the state of the device. This can be changed via multiple avenues such as voice, app, another device. Control is the physical control of a device. ie: you manually press the button on a switch. Zwave does add a wrinkle to this because...its zwave. Who knows why zwave does the way zwave does. Some devices will use status even though you are manually controlling the device. IF time is from sunset to sunrise THEN Set Light on OR ELSE Set Light off

I wasnt trying to be specific in writing a program which is why i wrote it that way (doesnt even have anything to do with what op wanted). I was simply showing how AND & OR functioned. However you are correct. If this were a proper example, one would need to use status

And & Or does work differently depending on what you are trying to accomplish. For example, If you wanted to turn on a kpl button whenever a light in your kitchen is on (let's say you have 3 sets of lights), you would use "Or" for your program. Ie: if light 1, or light 2, or light 3 is turned on THEN do whatever If you wanted that kpl light to turn off when all lights in the kitchen are off then you would use "And" Ie: if light 1, and light 2, and light 3 are off THEN do whatever. Just remember when it comes to Or Else statements, it works great for basic stuff such as simple on/off timers (turn your outside lights on at sunset off at sunrise). Anything beyond that, you're better off splitting your programs....especially if you'll have multiple programs controlling the same devices.

Must be the invisible text Udi uses. Makes it hard to read. You can find it in the first page of this post. Very first post

I don't know. I don't use it. You could check the isy wiki or Google isy smart meter

As long as it's a 994 then it's compatible

That was at the beginning of your post. After you found a work around, i was responding to post in regards to how variables could have helped for what you wanted. Since you found a better work around, the whole variable is moot

Im assuming you must not have read any of my precious responses on this post because I've already acknowledged and explained that explained that in previous posts right above this. I will repeat, at the time, the variable was only to set the light to where you wanted it to be. Since you found a workaround all of this is a moot point

Wasn't quite sure of your point so I was clarifying my statement to lessen the chance of misunderstanding

It's not a bug in the firmware. It's insteon's behavior. Insteon was designed to work first and foremost without a controller so there are things devices can do that the isy cannot prevent. The isy is seeing the press otherwise variables wouldn't update. The command that it sends (turning lights to 100%) is interpreted by the device outside of the isy. To the Isy, the device is only turning on to where it is supposed to go while the device itself is interpreting the command the way it's supposed to. It's similar to using the mutually exclusive option that the isy has (why Udi recommends scenes instead). Those are within the device and the Isy doesn't see it.

The variable has nothing to do with stopping the light from ramping up. It was to track the press which would then run a program to adjust the light to the desired level accordingly. 1 press- light (scene) turns on at 70% variable updates #1 2 press- light (scene) goes to 100%. Variable updates to #2. Program runs and Isy turns light (scene) to 70% Off press- light (scene) turns off and variable goes to 0

Its his issue in regards to the status but not in regards to his variable not updating. The variable was only to track the button press so that if it was hit a second time, it would update and run the corresponding program. The program itself would then run based on that variable to set his scene to the proper level.
