Funny Insteon foible
I've had a LampLinc plug-in module do that. I probably could have got a big buck on eBay for the signal analyser but factory reset resolved it. Amazing what CPU based devices can come up with. I had a new Insteon module indicate the opposite status once until I factory reset it. 30% of the responses to newcomer problems with Insteon used to contain the words 'Factory Reset" (after the "but it is brand new!")

Disabled Folders - Please explain
I have no disable option or enable option for any of my FOLDERS, only programs. However folders can be disabled via conditions added to their "IF" section. Eg: If X is not X always evaluates as true. Folders can also be disabled by program lines. This can be a convenient way of turning off a complete function all inside a folder. However one big caveat is if a program is currently running inside the folder when you disable it, the running program will stop immediately and not conclude, possibly necessary steps to terminate the process. Programmes inside a disabled folder can still be called as subroutines AFAIK. This needs to be confirmed because I avoid actively disabling folders due to being a very obscure practice and bad programming practice. I do use them for defunct programmes not in current usage.

Nested If's?
As a usage example of the Repeat While construct, here is one to generate the absolute value of a variable. I have used this technique to get the difference between two temperature sensors in different rooms (indicates air circulation is needed) Variable = tempSensor1 Variable -= tempSensor2 Repeat While Variable < 0 . . .Variable *= -1 Repeat for 1 times Here is a more complex example of averaging only valid values while disregarding unwanted values. https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/18921-v5-averaging-using-only-the-best-values/#comment-176418

Nested If's?
Likely 240vAC and 50 Hz. and instructions will be in sandscript.

Nested If's?
There is a nasty way of doing most of these using "repeat while" construct. If whatever Then do something Repeat While 'lamp' < 1% do somethingElse set 'lamp' = 100% Repeat for 1 times do anotherthing Else -- Of course you can set a variable before the repeat while loop and then modify it in the loop. Dirty but it can work in most cases. Multiple Case type constructs can be built by terminating each Case with a line: Stop 'ThisProgram' . Note: Repeat For X times is a program logical syntax error. 'Repeat 1 times' means no repeat at all. Should have been named: 'Execute for 1 times'.

Ecobee not communicating
From the ecobee status webpage. "Scheduled - On May 6, 2026 from 9:00am-10:00 EDT, we’ll be performing some scheduled improvements. The important thing to know is that ecobee thermostats will continue to operate as usual on the set schedule and by manual adjustment, including all in-progress energy-savings events. There’s a chance that the ecobee app, web portal and third-party apps might be temporarily unavailable. Thanks for your patience and sorry for any inconvenience! May 5, 09:13 EDT"

IoX If section loses logical "AND" and "OR"
UPDATE: Rebooting IoX resolves this. IoX appeared to function normally for about 30 minutes before this started. Weird.

Ecobee not communicating
After all the algorithms I have use to control temperature ramping down during heating, and temperature ramping up during A/C (no brand does this), I ended up only using my third ecobee for Home/Vacation status. It was a much more reliable status than any other method I had fund in years of experimenting. Hopefully this status will survive as it demands only one status point, unlike weather with it's dozens of analogue points. ecobee has been the best stat I have used for HVAC from almost a dozen brands, so far. No the brand has had the accuracy of control, yet. Best of luck with this. Your PG2/3 bridge plug-in has been the best.

Neighbor got solar, I got problems
As ELA (above) suggested, this is a utility problem to enforce the power quality being shipped into your home. The neighbour may be causing it but the utility has a responsibility to quench it before it spreads to their lines. Their are very strict rules on these kinds of things for most utilities specified by government regulations and/or boards that enforce these things. The neighbour then has a ticket to push the installer into correcting the cheap inverter system and clean it up.

- The Right Way to do "All Off"?
For non-automation controls ie: manually (human) operated, trigger a program to operate the scene in ISY. With manual operations a few milliseconds of delay is not perceptible.- EISY 6.0.5
polISY -------- Updated to v6.0.5 from v6.0.4. Went smoothly. Asked for and needed a reboot to operate properly. IoX needed no updating and java cache was not cleared. - The Right Way to do "All Off"?
