  1. The Notification icon at the top pf the page has a red five adjacent to it. When I click on the icon it will not open.
  2. Where is the check valve? The pump should not lose prime.
  3. Let me echo your sentiments about UDI. I have never known a company with comparable quality service.
  4. Although I am a novice in their use, I have found the CAO tags excellent at reporting temperature. As to whether they can be set up to report through the ISY, I don't know. They are readily accessible using an app. They are cloud based so some will criticize that as a limitation but, thus far, I have had no problems whatsoever. A final plus for me is their amazing range, hundreds of feet under the best conditions. I am just starting to test them to detect door openings. So far, that has been very promising. They are tiny devices that use CR2032 batteries. There is a thread on this forum that addresses the tags. You may want to check it out.
  5. Thanks. I am heading home tomorrow and as soon as I see what this hurricane is going to do I will give this a shot. I hope I can count on you guys when I get into the midst of this.
  6. I very much appreciate the feedback, as always. But, as I had feared, this is a complex process involving skills I simply do not have. I had a terrible time just learning how to forward a port! This, to me, is the area needing the greatest attention by OS and App developers.
  7. I have two ISYs located over 300 miles apart. Currently, I use notifications to advise me of leaks, open doors, etc. That works fine except when I am asleep. Is there a way to have a device in one home activate device(s) in the other home. For example, a leak or open door in one home cause the lights in the other bedroom to flash on and off and/or activate a BuzzLinc. That would alert me at night. Thanks.
  8. I have two ISYs at separate locations separated by more than 300 miles. Currently, I receive email notifications for certain events but that is of little value when I am asleep! I would like to be able, for example, to have a light (Inseon Controlled) blink in my bedroom a few times and/or a BuzzLinc alarm if a door is opened at the other location. How do I have an event at one location trigger an event at the other location?
  9. Mine is the zth and is powered by the dongle. Hs worked successfully many, many times, including yesterday.
  10. I have similar problems with that stat and mine is located remotely (325 miles), as well. My stat is critical since I use it to alert me if a propane stove heating system has failed. I addressed this problem by placing an ApplianceLinc in the outlet and plugged the stat into the ApplianceLinc. That allows me to reboot the stat as needed. Rube Goldberg but it works.
  11. I suggest removing the power, waiting a couple of minutes and restoring power. If successful, it will take a few minutes for the temp to display correctly.
  12. Glad you solved your problem.
  13. I had that happen some time ago. I had to delete my MobiLinc account and reenter it. It would await insteonnut before taking that step.
  14. Have you resented MobiLinc with the ISY?
  15. The above experience is yet another example of the generosity and expertise of those at this forum.
  16. Success is always sweet!
  17. Thanks guys. The house seems solid from an electrical perspective. Rarely, I may have an RF device need a soft reset but this is the first time anything of this magnitude has happened. Loss of communications with these few RF devices is not my primary concern. What I am concerned with is that the ISY opened with the Admin Console, displayed several small windows saying it could not communicate with several devices and "froze"—I could do nothing. On the other hand, ModiLinc showed those devices as unaccessible but continued to work as designed. My best guess is that an electrical anomaly, such as a power interruption, caused these events. But note, the first thing I did was a power reset of the ISY and that did not resolve the problem. I had to do a soft reset of every RF device that had failed to communicate before the ISY could be successfully accessed from the Admin Console. That, to me, is both weird and a bit alarming. Why did the ISY freeze because of these RF devices? If anything further of this sort happens I will report back.
  18. Brian: Thanks but your feedback is a bit "above this old man's pay grade"! In layman's terms, could a violent thunderstorm/power outage have contributed/caused what I experienced?
  19. Yes, that was part of my initial restoration process. I found 3 other devices that needed a soft reset. All the devices that failed were not dual band! Nothing left to do but wait and see. All seems to be working now.
  20. Yes. That was part of my overall restoration process. Interestingly, it appears that all the devices that failed were not dual band. I found three more devices yesterday that needed a soft reset. These devices were scattered about the home. Thus far, today, everything seems to be working fine. Nothing apparent left to do but wait and see. Thanks to all.
  21. Michel: I looked at the URLs and found nothing that would point to the problem
  22. Thanks for the feedback, Michel. I appreciate your reminder that I need to look carefully at the URLs you supplied. I shall. No, I had no green/gray icons. I had some devices that simply did not display their status and three or four produced messages in the opening screen of the ISY that those devices could not be found. Typically, I can click on these and close them. In this case, the ISY froze at this point and I could do nothing but quit. All is well at this moment but I have concerns about the future. Off to look at the URLs.
  23. Worked on my home system today. As stated previously, everything is reporting its status correctly in MobiLinc but ISY hangs with several devices being unable to access. Rebooted ISY - no success Four ToggleLinc Relays (2466s) had to be soft reset, put into linking mode, updated and restored. Three Hidden Door Sensors (2485-222) had to receive the same treatment. One Leak Sensor required a new battery. The Admin Console is now loading correctly and all devices working correctly. My conclusion, either an electrical storm caused the problems or the PLM is failing. Will order a replacement PLM today just to err on the safe side. My biggest concern is that the Admin Console hung. Not that I could have resolved my problems remotely but had I not had MobiLinc I would have lost any control of the remaining operable devices. Kudos to MobiLinc.
  24. Thanks, Michel. I will be working on this next Monday when I return home.
  25. My thanks. We have 10 people and a dog in a small vacation home with one bathroom! I can barely think! I will get to this when things slow down.
