We all say that. ???

I was responding from my phone. His signature doesn't show up on the mobile site unless I use desktop mode which I just switched too. You're right, it is long. Got tired of reading through it. ?

Since you've provided zero information about your setup, what you're using and trying to accomplish it's hard to say. My first guess is that you haven't set up ir properly in regards to your programs.

You can rename your devices by right clicking on the device and renaming. Zwave automatically numbers devices as they are added in numerical order. This cannot be changed.

An act of God does not mean any and everytime something happens in nature, a terrible result will occur. It's implying an uncontrollable natural event which has the potential for destruction despite everything done. You do realize when you back up your Isy to the computer, you're backing up the isy sd card?

That's a ridiculous statement. So you believe because your system did not fail, it can never fail? Our condo in California survived a 6.4 earthquake a few years ago (and many others before it), does that mean no earthquake will bring it down? How many neighborhoods have you seen leveled by tornadoes yet some of the houses survive intact? Yes you can build things to with stand a great deal but don't fool yourself into thinking something cannot happen. As it stands you have billion dollar companies spending tens of millions designing systems to never fail yet they do. Once again all this is moot since Michel said it's not happening

Anything you restore after days of no power would be completely wrong anyway so what would be the point? After no power or water for days, I would think the last thing a person would be worried about is their Isy and the last count of some equipment. An act of God will always throw anything for a loop. No amount of planning and programming will overcome that. It's the daily happenings that cause the most problems which an automatic backup would probably hurt more than it helps. All of this is moot since Michel has stated it's not going to happen

Why would your Isy need to be rebooted? Outside of firmware updates, your Isy should always stay running. If you're constantly rebooting it then you need to solve the underlying issues. The key to ensuring what you are trying to do is to have a strong and stable system. As long as communication is good and the Isy is running, it'll keep track of everything properly.

No there is not.

Where did you purchase your product from? It should not have been sold if you're here in the US. If you're in the US, any zwave product sold on Amazon would work. Just search for the products you're looking for

In addition to what Larryllix said, all you need to do is make a single backup once you make changes. Doing so every day is pointless unless you're making changes daily.

Are you using the launcher

It's not but since you have specific requirements, then it was worth the chance.

I would contact schlage and ask them. They should know their product line

You can try the smart switch 6 from aeotech

Yes you have already stated that. As such, there is no good fix for your problem.

I would not worry about the insteon PL signal. It can travel up to a mile uninterrupted. In the real world however, you won't get nearly as far. The good thing is every device repeats the signal so that helps. Ditto with RF. Ive used insteon in many mcmansions without issue (including our own). While my next house will be C4, it's more about wanted what C4 offers vs insteon not being capable. Whether it's insteon or zwave, the less devices you want to invest in, the more precise you'll need to be in your execution. While you can potentially save money with zwave (in multi way setups) you could also spend significantly more (on repeaters) simply trying to get it to work properly.

The best remedy for this situation is to replace the locks. Hes already determined the locks do not send status so no amount of additional devices will change that (based on ops previous statements). There's nothing anyone can do to solve this issue unless they decide to replace the locks with something that does send status. Should this happen, then having a strong mesh network will come into play. Continuing to try and troubleshoot is a waste of time.

Did your lock give any indication of battery dying before hand?

The isy generally reports what it's being told. What kind of batteries are you using? Did your lock show signs of batteries wearing down such as built in alerts, slow motor, etc? The reason I ask, is that there are things built into the lock to let you know the battery is going bad. If the lock didn't show any of those low battery symptoms, then the battery drained suddenly before the Isy or the unit itself could warn you of impending failure.

Zwave instructions are in the manuals for the devices you have. Every mfg. utilizes different parameters so you'll want to find yours on the device mfg. website. Most of the nodes are probably extra that zwave protocol has but your device probably doesn't use. Those can be deleted. Depending on your firmware and devices, insteon can potentially be if used in a scene. Just add it and see. If it doesn't work, the. You would need to use programs.

Amazon and google go through different servers so 1 can be down while the other works. Since 1 does work, I'm assuming your setup is correct and google may be having a temporary issue. You could unlink your account and the. Relink it to see if that helps as well.

We gave you an idea but you didn't like it. There are hundreds of models of locks and different ish firmwares & UIs. Since you're not providing any information about what you are using we can't help

What are the details of your setup? Michel is correct in that the best approach is to solve the problem vs a bandaid approach that will cause more problems long term. If you're not getting status 2 feet from the isy then you have a bigger issue to solve and a query will not help that

While this is the cheapest and does have alot of flexibility, it is also limiting and depending on family, could potential cause more problems than it solves. While I'm big on full automation I do believe the home should have the basic functionality in the home should it fail.
