Thanks for the feedback. I will check out the suggestion.

I have an ISY located approximately 325 miles from my primary residence. This past winter I lost the ability to remotely access that ISY using the Admin Console. Michel helped me with this, ultimately gaining access and control using the portal. I recently arrived at that location feeling confident that the underlying problem was the PLM. However, before replacing it, I did some basic maintenance. I rebooted the modem. Then I rebooted the router. I updated the router firmware, then I tried accessing the Admin Console using the local IP. Worked perfectly! There were two devices that needed to be restored. All the others were fine. I am sharing this to encourage others to perform this basic system maintenance before proceeding to trash their PLM. Having said all this, I will prophylactally replace this more than two year old PLM before leaving for the winter.

use two simple programs. Fan Motion - [ID 0024][Parent 0023][Not Enabled] If Status 'Sensors (Motion) / Motion Sensor' is On Then Set 'Fans / Fan Bathroom' On Else Set 'Fans / Fan Bathroom' Off Bathroom Exhaust Fan - [ID 0007][Parent 0023] If Status 'Fans / Fan Bathroom' is 100% Then Wait 15 minutes Set 'Fans / Fan Bathroom' Off Else Set 'Fans / Fan Bathroom' Off This program turns the bathroom fan off automatically after it has run for 15 minutes. I

I use the MS to deal with other "stinkers". I have used them for a long time in a small bathroom (the only one in a small vacation home). It is programmed to activate the exhaust fan for 15 minutes when it detects motion. No problem, 100% reliable. Just position the sensor so that it "sees" the cat.

I am currently using Stu's BuzzLinc and it has done well. I want to do comparison.

Thanks.

I will be making the leap to v. 5 in a few weeks. I have tried unsuccessfully to determine if the Insteon Siren 2868-222 is now fully supported. I would appreciate a status.

You are probably not going to believe this but I tried that several times earlier and selecting purchase modules never worked. I tried it again and it worked! You must have mysterious influence at UDI!!!! Thanks, the Pro module has been installed.

In a short while I will be visiting the remote location of a 994i which needs the PLM replaced. I have lots of battery powered devices at that location and understand I can disable them if I have the Pro. How do I obtain and install the update and what is the cost?

Nice catch but still, most fill their pools with municipal water and the overflow goes to storm drains. Not a good scenario and one which could be very expensive.

I gave this some thought, and I would be reluctant to use any automated system unless I had elaborate redundancy and/or the process would only occur when someone was present. Consider a pump stuck in the on position for whatever reason. Just my thoughts.

I have abandoned this effort for the time being. I will resume when I have more time.

Frankly, I am not certain I am using the correct user account and password. Michel set these accounts up for me. Are these the same as those for the Amazon account for that portal? I will check as to whether or not the preferred ISY is selected but since the site can be accessed from the portal and the Mac without problem would seem to rule out that as an issue.

Asbril: I tried deleting the local port with all else done also. It keeps taking me to my first portal account. I probably should have shared that detail. Somehow I must get MobiLinc to connect to the second portal account

I am trying to change MobiLinc Setup to access by the ISY Portal. I found the following instructions on this forum and installed them as follows: Open Mobilinc Select Settings Select Lighting Controller Change settings as instructed: Host Type = ISY User Name = Portal Username (email address) Password = Portal Login Password Local http://= blank Local Port = 80 Secure https:// = my.isy.io Secure Port = 443 Connection Method = Secure Connection Although the ISY portal works on my Mac it does not work on my iPhone using the foregoing steps. Am I missing something?

I have only been using Alexa for a couple of months but there is no option to turn on or off a "Brief Mode" in Alexa on my iPhone.

I finally found the sign out. Thanks.

Pay no attention to the above I think I am making progress. Amazon sure doesn't make this simple!

Stu: I am using the Safari browser and the iPhone app. When I go to Amazon.com and click on Accounts & List then on Your Account I get a page to track orders, login & security, prime, your addresses (mailing addresses), payment options and gift cards. Neither on the prior page nor the one I am referring to is a Switch Accounts option. If I go into the app, the bottom left panel is Help & Feedback there is no option to select a login such as the one you refer to.

I am preparing to set up a second ISY with Echo's. My ISY Portal has two accounts. Account A is is using an Amazon Prime account. I set up a second Amazon account for the second ISY (non prime). Now, when I log into Amazon it defaults to the second account. I have searched and searched, but I cannot find how I can switch between the two accounts with my browser. Any help will be appreciated.

I am certain I will create addition opportunities to have fun in the future!

Stu, I apologize for the inconvenience. I had simply forgotten the proper procedure. Your reply gave me the clue I needed and I was successful. I have now written a procedural note to avoid this in the future. Thanks.

I remain a newbee in terms of suing the ISY Portal and Echo. I have numerous devices, scenes, etc. being controlled successfully using Alexa. However, I recently added an ApplianceLinc 2456S3 to control a lamp. I have it successfully included in the ISY, but I cannot get it into the Portal. I have told Alexa to discover new devices and get the reply there are no new devices. I have disabled the device in the ISY and enabled it. Still can't discover it. Am I having a senior moment and overlooking something?

After numerous trouble-shooting efforts, I unplugged and my Echo's and then repowered them. Problem resolved. It wasn't a portal issue. Thanks for your quick reply, Benoit.

I have lost use of all spokens. An attempt to have Alexa discover devices has failed.
