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?

Mine is the zth and is powered by the dongle. Hs worked successfully many, many times, including yesterday.

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.

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.

Glad you solved your problem.

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.

Have you resented MobiLinc with the ISY?

The above experience is yet another example of the generosity and expertise of those at this forum.

Success is always sweet!

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.

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?

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.

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.

Michel: I looked at the URLs and found nothing that would point to the problem

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.

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.

Thanks, Michel. I will be working on this next Monday when I return home.

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.

I don't see how I can do that. When I open the Admin Console it locks up and I can do nothing but quit.

The IP for the LAN is Cox high speed. I am connecting using Suddenlink, another hight speed provider. Never had a problem previously. Started today. I have a couple of devices that are not responding. Perhaps that is what is causing the ISY to hang.. MobiLinc "sees" those devices but still allows signals to be sent to control the remaining devices. So, the problem appears to be exclusively with the ISY. I guess I will have to return home, reset the problematic devices and see if that restores the functionality of the ISY. Thanks for the help.

The connection is high speed cable. See last post re: Mobilinc working and Admin Console feezing.

Yes, I am away from my LAN. I have no firewall. The interesting thing to me is that MobiLinc is successfully connecting. I can connect to the ISY using the Admin Console but 3 devices display as inaccessible. I cannot access anything at the console level--it is frozen.

I am trying to access my ISY using its away IP. The Admin Console first displayed one device that it could not access and the screen froze. The only thing I could do was move the window reporting the status of the device. Exited and reloaded the Admin Console and two devices were reported inaccessible. I could move their window and nothing else. Did the same once more and three devices were displayed as inaccessible. I quit at that point! MobiLinc is successfully accessing the ISY but cannot control the devices the ISY is reporting as inaccessible. Sounds like I am going to have to wait until I can get onsite and reset two hidden door sensors and a device controlling a bathroom fan plus reboot the ISY. Any suggestions that I might try in the meantime?

I don't know if this will help, but I use it to tell me if a pump runs more than 5 minutes. Pump Not Off - [iD 0017][Parent 0021][Not Enabled] If Status 'Pump / Pump SynchroLinc' is 100% Then Wait 5 minutes Send Notification to 'Donnie Wheeler' content 'Wolf Creek Pump Did Not Turn Off' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Sends a notification if the pump turns on and runs for 5 minutes or more. This allows me to assess if a major problem exists and make a decision to turn the pump off using the Pump Controller (Outdoor Module).

I ran into that with a sensor that I changed the battery in. I set it in some water and the correct status displayed. You may want to give that a try. Don't forget to dry the contacts and press the button on the device to reset it.
