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.

Paul, I think you are correct. My memory vaguely tells me that controlling the heartbeat interval was not an option with that device. Yes, both devices are in areas where communications are stressed. The outbuilding is about 100 feet from the ISY and the front door sensor is in a location where linking was an issue when I set it up. I will probably replace the outbuilding unit with a tag if battery life on those can manage 5 months or so. I will either add a dual band device near the front door or use a tag. I am reluctant to add a dual band device and perhaps then learn that wasn't the problem. I can't use a hidden door sensor at the front door because of its design. Thanks for the help everyone.

I have put the device into linking mode. My problem is the next step. How do I get to the level where I have the option to make changes in settings? It appears I am going to have to delete, factory reset it and re-add. I don't want to do that if there is another way. Thanks.

I haven't done anything like this in a long time. Do I need to place the device in linking mode, delete it, then re-add it in order to get to the setup features?

To monitor door openings I use Hidden Door Sensors and TriigerLincs. The former use batteries sparingly even in highly trafficked areas. I change batteries in these on or about every 12 months. The TriggerLincs, however, in comparison are battery hogs. One of these devices is located on an outbuilding and the door was never opened for 5 months. Nevertheless, the battery did not last 4 months! The other is located on an entry door that sees a relatively low number of openings and the battery in it lasts just a few months. These are high quality lithium batteries, the same as those used in the hidden door sensors. The only thing I see that might contribute to this is the TriggerLincs constantly show a heartbeat in the ISY. Any help with this would be appreciated.

My thanks to both of you. When I arose this morning the program had run! So, it appears that dumb temperature span issue has once again bitten me. I sure hope Smarthome offers a more robust thermostat in the near future. One which reports degree by degree and a much better overall appearance. I will continue my testing of the programs. If this works effectively, it will be very helpful.

Run Then works as it should. Yes, I tried different temperature set points; none worked. Something appears to be incorrect with the Condition.

That same instean device is also controlled by a by a kpl button. Could that be the problem?

I created this program with the stat reading 76 degrees and the fan did not turn on. I checked the fan independent of the program and it works. I have done something wrong with the program. Stat Fan Control On - [iD 000F][Parent 0001] If Status 'Thermostat / Thermostat (Main)' >= 70° (Temperature) Then Set 'Fans / Stove Fan' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Larry: I must be using a version of the software that does not have these features. I am using 4.3.26 and my thermostat displays in the Control step as Themostat (Main), Themostat (Cool Ctl) and Themostat (Heat Ctl). Selecting any of these three does not display the options you indicated. What version are you using?

Larry: Please pardon my lack of familiarity with this type of programming but I don't know how to incorporate >= or <= followed by a number into a program. I looked at the Wiki and it made no sense to me.

I use this stat in a vacation home solely to monitor temperature. Heating is provided with a propane-fired stove ignited with a pilot light. I would like to use the stat in the summer to turn on Insteon controlled window fans using a program which turns the fans on when the stat temperature is 80 degrees or greater and off when the stat temperature is 75 degrees or less. Is that possible?

Update. Received the repair kit and completed the repair. My only problem was the extremely tiny screws. My thanks to everyone.

Thanks, J_Barrett. I thought I was using the correct procedure but eyesight is not very good. I have done this before and I have always considered the procedure risky. I have already ordered a couple replacements each in 6-button and 8-button formats.

Done. Thanks, all.

Thanks, Brian. Will do.

Thanks for the feedback. Here are the photos. I think. When adding the Fan High button I heard a snapping sound and found the small piece of clear plastic on the floor. Note, the button does not seat correctly. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to help me sort this out.

The procedure for posting images has changed since I last used it. I have the photos just don't know how to add them tp a post.

I think I may not have been clear as to what happened. The button is not broken, The frame into which the button steps had one side break. The piece that broke off is clear. It looks to me like there is a frame into which the buttons snap.
