I just ran into this same problem two weeks ago (early Feb) Had a 4-way switch for the main entry I was trying to convert to Insteon. Wired everything as I thought is was suppose to be, powered up, no lights. Multiple test, no lights. Spent seven hours over two days during the weekend and finally gave up. Called a friend that was a Journeyman electrician to help. He laughed, "no problem" and then spent 2-1/2 hours mumbling about why and how and a few explicates. Still no go. Tried an experiment and ran a replacement cord (power cord, male end only, no female) and used it to jump the neutral wire from another circuit to the 4-way. Plugged the cord into another outlet, capped the hot, connected the white neutral to the 4-way and tested. Worked as it should! Late '80s house and all the power runs originated in the ceiling boxes, dropped a loop to the switches, no neutrals. For those that have this set-up, it is possible to jump a neutral from another circuit. All neutrals go to the same bar in the load center so it doesn't matter where the circuit gets its neutral. I had to cut a hole in the wall and add a line in multiple locations, sucks but it does work.

I did some searching of other posts and found that this is a common problem. More details in some of the other posts lead to being able to add ISY to the Java exception list through the Control Panel. So far, seems to work.

I'm migrating from HouseLinc to ISY and still have some bugs. I had HouseLinc active while setting up ISY but have now disconnected it. Still have some ghosts to clear up. I have an OutletLinc that is only suppose to be a responder to a garage door I/O device. Door goes up, nightlight plugged into the outlet goes on, door goes down, light goes out. Been that way for 1-1/2 years. Now in ISY when I click on the OutletLinc is show as a responder to another light switch in the garage. It is not suppose to be and I can figure out how to remove the OutletLink as a responder to the light switch.

When I try and access the ISY control panel the Java window shows an error. When I click on details I get Security Exception and reference to ###/web/insteon.jar Any answers why and how to fix?

Did a search but didn't find anything on this. I have a static IP for my gateway and use IIS (Internet Information Services) for several applications such as ACT! web. Upgraded my main server and router and tried to duplicate my access settings. Use to work for several controllers that I could remote access using IP and port info and port forwarding, now I can't get any of them to work including ISY 994i. Anyone have to configure IIS to get their ISY to work for remote access?
