Make sure your ISY IP address is installed in your java firewall to let it passed it's filters. Same for Windows firewall tables.

When your programs were MIA did you ever click save? If so they may be gone from the ISY.

You will require java. ISY admin console doesn't use a browser once acquired. Java will not run under most browsers now, and only exists as a separate package.

Careful with the KPL toggle mode. I can't remember exactly the what or why, but if you check your ISY log file you will find Insteon KPLs do not send the correct status from the buttons. IIRC they send On and Off toggling regardless of setting???? After having a long interaction with @Michel Kohanim I discovered what he was trying to tell me about KPLs statuses. (statii? )

I think you guys are just trying to make a scene here, and that isn't on the OP's program. Sent using Tapatalk

Clarity to understand what you are doing a few years later has to weigh heavily for me. This is one of the main reasons I try to avoid scenes in my system. I use scenes where I need massive quantities of Insteon devices to activate simultaneously, (eg. intrusion annoyance), where I need the speed (eg. MS to lamp) and where I want several different lighting level balances in my Gathering room, combined with many WiFi bulbs, to get away from so much popcorn bulb lighting effect. Programs are easier to understand, and find when needed for troubleshooting. You can't inject a condition into a scene or record specific items about it easily. @David_31262 with KPLs, be careful not to receive a signal and fire a signal right back at the LED, especially in conjunction with an MS or other battery Insteon device. Always leave a few second Wait in between. You can cause RF clashes that can cause you random scene activations, most know as the "ALL ON" phenomenon.

When you use the plural "blinds" google thinks they are smarter than you, and will attempt to set everything with a similar definition to 20%. I don't use my GH devices for HA anymore. GH suck making guesses for everything and are hard to deal with. I got tired of having outdoor and all other lights turned on from other vocal commands. Alexa understands devices with more than one word. For GH "turn on red bedroom lights" means every device in the house that has Red in the name. I have many, even 13 outside bulbs. Try "set the blind to 20%" I hope you only have one.

I had hard to find problems with this in my previous home. It was the GFCI breaker. The neutral wires arc to the ground wire and they always show a short circuit anyway so it cannot be found with a meter. When a bathroom fan is switched off the high voltage spike finds the pinhole or crack in the wiring. Hard to find other than to move suspected wiring around and see if it stops. Look for wiring bent sharply right at the box clamp, and pinched wring behind large switchbox items like dimmers, inside switch boxes.

You may need to use an insulation testers. Pin holes in insulation will not show up on a 3 volt ohmmeter, but at a few hundred volts will arc through to something else.When you shut off an inductive load it can produce spikes of thousands of volts. Sent using Tapatalk

For me, the ISY Portal is really needed for Alexa and/or Google Home voice control. Without it I would be using manual switches and not have easy access to colour lighting schemes etc. Fancies like, turn on the TV, Turn on radioStationXXXX, etc... would take manual operation. Most times the switch is entering/leaving the room but all the Gathering Room scenes, like Reading Lights, TV lights, perimeter lights, Christmas Lights, etc... etc. are much easier with vocal control. That takes the ISY Portal. There re ways around it but it really smooths it out and makes it much easier. It also gives me remote access without punching holes in my router firewall and allows me to trigger voice snippet announcements out of Alexa boxes, from my ISY.

The Network Resource module is already resident inside your ISY and only takes a key pushed down from UDI.. This usually happens within hours after payment and is arranged from inside the admin console. This will allow you to send Ethernet packets in almost any protocol to any Ethernet device. It also provides an extension to the email notifications that can provide basic database writes to memory inside ISY. Mwareman wrote some script that will run on another computer to scrape these files and display them in graphical form. I did some work on this also, breaking files down into this week, last week, week before files, to analyse event on my HVAC system. This helped me a lot to see where things went wrong with co-ordinated thermostats. I can't remember the file protocol but IIRC it was .CSV. The beauty of that system is that it is all existent inside your ISY and only required an external computer to see the finished data. That was a giant milestone in independence for us ISY freaks, anyway. I couldn't live without ISY NRs anymore. I use them to control software in my RPi that runs 25 lightbulbs, it ran my Hue bridge, as well as MILight, and MagicHome RGBWW strip controllers. Now it also runs my Onkyo A/V receiver, selecting radio stations and switching to Netflix, Sat dish, BlueRay player etc..

According to the info link @palayman posted above, the Leviton unit has no protection from neutral to ground. If installed right at the main panel, the ground and system neutral are connected together within inches of the spike suppressor and become redundant. However, if the Leviton spike suppressor (no units can suppress surges) is connected away from the main panel, it may not be a good application. Spike suppressors may actually increase the risk of damage depending on how things are grounded and where the lightning or other noise gets into you system. If a voltage spike comes into your video receiver antenna coax, a spike suppressor could provide a better path to ground through the receiver. Of course that may prevent further damage to other equipment. It's definitely an artform. These units are beneficial in probably 99% of the cases though.

Lead length is important for good spike absorption. Did you wire this into a breaker or directly to the bus?

That was my point. I only need string substitution from variables on outputs now. I don't ever expect ISY to do string processing in programs.

Implementing variable to string array would work for me, being the complement of the other half. I already use string names for many ISY things.

Just do it!

YEAH STRINGS! I think they would mostly be useful on I/O. I don't see them that useful in programming...yet? A simple method would be to just implement a string substitution on outputs, like email, and NS. eg. I would like to order some stringSub( ${var.2.78}, 'apples', 'pears', tomatoes', peaches' ) Inputting strings would be a whole 'nuther big deal trying to work out string input and converting to a numeric value. Implementing constant variables could help this.

I m excited to see "v6.0.1 beta" mounted on it and the big switch on the front.....Disable Zwave Snooping!

It may be on the back or embossed into the case plastic but it would have to be on the device somewhere. Quite expensive but I hope it does what you need. The smoke detector thing is a good indicator but strange.

I don't see any approval anywhere on the product pictures. No symbol for CSA, USULC, or even an Asian ETL. For a device that connects directly into your main panel, an electrician may refuse to install it. This is not like SquareD but with things made over the pond these days???

I just had my whole house go nuts at 4 am one night. All the technology and they cant wit until daylight?? LOL

We can't see inside your shopping cart, only our own items.

How old are your smoke detectors? Smoke detectors classically detect ionised air which is what lightning does to the air. Maybe the sensors are on the verge of expiring. SDs have expiry dates on paper stickers inside the units, usually. You could also have some wring closer to the SDs that arcs,ionising some air gap, during voltage disturbance events and the SDs are detecting it.

Fans can alleviate stratification, bring cooler air, or warmer air, down, especially in very high ceiling spaces. Continuous circulation can even out temperatures found in furniture and other high thermal mass items, especially floors. Fans can also dry out beds from the sweaty bodies sleeping in the beds each night. Circulating fans would need to be turned on an hour or two before room entry. On really cold winter days I find parts of the floor can be cold, if they are restricted from heated air circulation by furniture. Something I discovered years after building my own home is the space between the floating ceiling in the basement, and the main floor surface gets no heated air circulation and the joist pockets can cause accumulation of colder air, making the main floor surface cold. Circulating air via fan helps this greatly. I suppose this is why commercial buildings use that air gap for return air. It can even eliminate raining above the ceiling tiles after months of condensation forming above the ceiling tiles. Insulation does not stop heat loss, it only slows it down. With no replacement heat, even insulated spaces will freeze eventually. Fans in proper places can alleviate some of this effect. Economy of energy must also be considered, though.

@Geddy Try something like this. I always use a time out with manual overrides because people get familiar with being lazy and expect it to reset itself.
