Yeah, i posted there also, but there isn't much activity there anymore. The manual doesn't say much about the different modes and what they do. I did find this: that helps explain a little. Some decent ISY programming tips here: https://homeautomationguru.com/programming-your-insteon-thermostat-with-the-isy-994i/ also. I have been searching, there just ins't much out there.

It's at home and I am at work AtM, but pretty sure the mode is Auto and the fan is Auto. The Mobilinc app has mode options for Auto, Program Auto, Program Heat, Program Cool, Heat and Cool and Off. I don't think the ISY has this many options. I'll have to check and confirm tonight.

I haven't tried at this point to program from the ISY yet. Just using the internal Wake->Leave->Return->Sleep events. It seems to be ignoring them. Almost like the Hold is active, but it isn't indicating that on the display. If I set the heat above ambient, it is heating to that setting (and showing Heating on the display) like it should and then holds that temp.

Just picked up a 2441TH thermostat to play around with. Yeah, i know, it has issues but I have one in my garage controlling and it has been rock solid for years. Trying to understand the various modes. Looks like there is Heat, Cool, Auto, Program Auto, Program Heat, Program Cool, Off. Mostly, what is the difference between Auto, Program Auto, Program Heat and Program Cool? Also, the Hold doesn't seem to work. I push it, but the Hold indicator never comes on. Maybe it just works in certain modes? It seems to so far be ignoring my local programed heat-cool events, but maybe I'm not even in the correct mode. I put it in auto and the set time passes with no changes to the temperature events.

Be aware that the upgrade is not seamless based on the hundreds of posts on here. Just plan the time accordingly. Looks like it depends on the complexity of your install

Yeah, me too. Pretty much the exact same issue. I replaced the PLM and things seemed to be ok, but over the last month or so programs have been steadily getting worse. Programs that used to run great, started getting more and more latency. Motion sensors that used to fire the lights instantly now take a minute or two and then never turn the light off. Checking the event log shows most all devices having 3 of 3 or worst 2 of 3 hops left. Bought a couple of noise filters and installed them in various spots and no better. Next I guess I will try swapping the SD card. The one in there is the original that’s about 10 years old so maybe.

Michel worked on the Java server certs and all is better now.

Ticket opened. Thanks for the replies. I'll post back with the solution.

Yet another one of these. Just doing a search seems to be many of these problems. I can open the iox launcher and it finds my ISY994, but I used to right click and the option to open the admin console will appear. Now nothing. Running 4.9.0 firmware. what I have done: Update Java to latest version. No success cleared java cache: no success deleted all the .state files from the local user account. no success restarted (several times) the ISY994: no success Verified that I could connect to the 994 via a web browser pointed at the IP. Could open the admin console but I hate this interface. Loaded Java on a spare laptop and ran the start.jnlp to open the IOX Finder. It again found the 994 on a search, but same behavior. Manually added an ip to the IOX finder (on both machines) and same results. Running out of ideas here. It worked fine as of about 3 or 4 days ago. No new updates to the computer, although with Windows who can tell for sure. Based on the issue is happening from two computers, it would seem the problem is with the 994. The last time I was in the 994, I did a system backup and it completed successfully. Could it have corrupted something somehow? Everything else, all the programs and scenes etc are operating normally. No error light on the 994. Seems to reboot quickly without issue.

Mobilinc works ok for me via VPN, but device states are not always correct. A device will show off when in fact it is on. A forced refresh fixes it. Need to look at UD mobile but that takes minimum 5.0? I’m on 4.9. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone use a light sensing device to trigger Insteon signal?
BCreekDave replied to raymondjiii's topic in ISY994
The 5010v has 4 independent relay outputs only, no inputs. The 5010d has two digital inputs and two analog inputs and 4 outputs. -

This: https://smartenit.com/shop/ezeye/ And an EZIO 2x4 to get the signal into the Insteon network. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
NUT can also run on a firewall-router running pfsense, possibly others. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

MobiLinc is I think the most popular. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nothing in home automation seems very stable. No wonder most folks who are interested won't take the plunge. http://www.cepro.com/article/sigma_designs_owner_of_z_wave_home_automation_tech_ponders_sale_or_divestme Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've got analog sensors wired into an EZIO 2x4 module that auto on-off the fan. Works rock solid for two years running. The relay wall switch for the fan can override for 15 (normal) or 30 (fast on) minute intervals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know this is controversial, but I think an unattended garage door can be made to close safely. I use a combination of motion sensors, signage, flashing the garage lights and and an Elk 124 voice module to issue warnings of the impending door close along with the standard door threshold optic sensors and careful adjustment of the opener close force. It also sends me a text message to my phone and I can then use Mobilinc to view the camera to verify the everything is clear. Once a month I verify that everything is working properly. Just like technology will eventually allow us to have driverless cars, a faceted approach to home automation can allow safe operation of entrance systems. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think what Brian was saying is that the EZIO device uses the power supply board that is the same as the one that often fails after two years in the 2413 PLM. When it does this in the 2413, the link table in the 2413 is corrupted. When it happens in the EZIO device, it may stop sending status updates to the ISY. Unfortunately Smarthome used this failure prone power supply board in many devices Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Better hurry. If smarthome catches wind of this I can see the blank buttons going to 50$. Sent from using Tapatalk

Does anyone happen to know what the minimum setpoint is on the 2441TH? I am investigating the possibility of installing one in a garage where the normal winter setpoint will be 35 to 40F. I am thinking of when the garage door is open via the IOlinc, I can with the ISY disable the furnace. Thanks, dave

It sounds like you have found a good solution so the following is probably moot at this point, but if others are interested In addition to the other solutions presented here, there is also this: http://smartenit.com/product/ezeye/ which is used in conjunction with one of these: http://smartenit.com/product/ezio4o/. The possible advantage could be its calibration to "Human Eye Accuracy" which I think means it is tuned to the range of wavelengths that the human eye sees, or it could be "sales-speak". Again, as others have mentioned, the ISY can only read discrete values. In this case the analog to digital conversion is done in the ezio4o module.

I have the same situation but in my case the root cause was that the switch I was air gapping was the slave (non-load controller) in a 3 way setup. When I air gapped the load switch everything functioned as expected. Sent from using Tapatalk

Has the video ever been made available or is this thread basically a non-issue? For a single family type of home, it seems like with the limited RF range of insteon as an attack point it would take someone sitting right outside your home trying to gain entry. For an apartment dweller, maybe that's more of a concern. Or did I miss the point?
