Since there are four 4-way switches being used for 3-way applications, and two switches are mounted in each box beside each other, you must have three switching circuits involved. The third switch is not being shown. This is based on having four switches at only two locations. This is not a useful wring layout and there must be more switches involved.

If Alexa hears the right words Then ....

I find just the opposite. I have about 30 items in my home called "XXX Light". If I ask Alexa to Turn on/Off any light there is no confusion. However if I ask Google Home to turn On XXX Light, it will turn on multiple lights up to the whole house because every light has the word "light in the name. I gave had to rename most of my device for GH and I just avoid using my three GH minis as much as possibe now. GH can also not support a different calendar fron the original account holder. If I give my wife access to my calendar she can access every google aspect of account, my location, email, and how long I spent anywhere I ever went. After months of trying to get some real support I just gave up. Google always just professed they didn't know.

I think there was some confusion there. Paul asked 'Can you share the program(s) that calls James_Front_Entry_Text? ' The question wasn't about other programs calling the same notification, it was about other programs calling this program. Use the admin console search program find to locate any occurrence of the program name text. This happens to all of us. We have some old forgotten program we forgot to hit save when we deleted it months ago. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

Alexa apps love to use the invisible menus that come and go depending on which way you hold your tongue. They drive me crazy. I just got off the phone with Alexa support trying to give a second person access. It was so simple but they don't like to tell you which account they are talking about. We signed in and out of Amazon about 6 times before it started to work. Still some hangovers from having a fake US account too.

Programs have a copy to clipboard option on a right click. Paste here

In the Alexa app and website, at the bottom of the list of devices you will find a "Forget All Devices" and a "Discover"

Are you using the contact indication reverse feature? Do you have a query program set to run at 10:00 PM each night? Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

I don't understand the last part of the sentence so I don't know what it was all aboot.

I think @Scott was referring to folders for programs. His American accent can be hard to read sometimes. Both (not Scott and me) can have folders. I organise my device folders by rooms and my program folders by function. Sorry. Too much HA in my life and I get crazy.....or so Scott would have you believe.

If you have a multiple bulb load, then change one to a best match incandescent. The load doesn't have to be very large.

I would get rid of the static IP adress outside of the router IP address allowance. Use the DCHP reservation table and let your router manage it properly. Static IP addresses not managed by the central DHCP server can do strange things sometimes. And they can be hard to find.

It started out in 1964 with two 12 foot long 2 x 4s and a logarithm chart trying to build a slide rule that would yeild four digit accuracy (felt pens are not fine enough). Then in 1971 when the 8 bit CPU, expandable to of 384 bytes, was released, and digital computers for the average person became possible, many addictions started

KPL backlights can be level adjusted from programs but to turn them on or Off you need to create a scene for each state. These scenes can then be operated by an included controlling status (device in the scene) or by a program.

I had a router that wouldn't allow that. Other devices could not talk to addresses outside it's assigned space unless I changed the router to allow ad hoc mode. IIRC my current router allows it.

Do you have a heat pump system? You photo would seem to indicate you do and it is a Venstar T1800 stat not an Insteon stat..

Sorry. An update was missed fixing the other part. Hallway Auto Light - [ID 0021][Parent 0001] If From Sunset + 1 minute To Sunrise - 1 minute (next day) And ( Control 'Front-Door / Front Door-Opened' is Switched On Or Control 'Basement Stairs Door-Opened' is Switched On ) Then Set Scene 'Hallway Auto Light' On Wait 2 minutes Set Scene 'Hallway' Off Else <---- still need this for the end of the time frame. ie: Sunrise - 1 min Wait 2 minutes Set Scene 'Hallway' Off

I would set the new owner up with an Amazon account, installing the 3 way systems that you intend to pass on so they have some basic HA and it works. You don't want action started against you because you sold them a dud system and the realestate agent will be the go between provoking the friction without any technical ability. If a few things work, they will work as a simple demonstration with a simple explanation that more complex things are possible but will require personalisation of the system. Leave small fragments of each technology working in a demonstrable manner so "you left a defective unit" can never be claimed.

Did you make any recent changes to your router? While you are in your router check the IP Address reservation in the DHCP setup page for your ISY to see if the IP address is still locked in place.

This sounds like you still have scenes connected to your trigger devices. I see nothing in your program to ramp the light back on. I cannot tell what is connected to what from your program labels, but usually the Status in the first line is a problem for causing oscillation of programs. I don't know why people keep checking to see if a device is in one state before changing it but, in your case being Anded with an edge trigger line the program should be OK.

Use two programs. The "control" triggers wanted are installed in the first program. It's "Then" calls the second program. The second program must be "disabled". Here is where you put your elements you do NOT want to cause any triggering that could cause restarting, stopping or running Else. Note: Program Disable only disables triggers in the program and doesn't stop it running. The program becomes similar to linear program coding.

When the time frame triggers Then or Else (it triggers both) the door logic is also true causing Then to run. Time frame logic is a combination of status and edge trigger, making it a dual purpose logic condition. It can act like a status condition for another trigger (passive) , as well as trigger on both nodes (active). Use Control/switched logic instead of status logic. Then the If sensing logic can be true only when the sensors are initially switched On . Sensor status would be true during the whole time the door is open. Hallway Auto Light - [ID 0021][Parent 0001] If From Sunset + 1 minute To Sunrise - 1 minute (next day) And ( Control 'Front-Door / Front Door-Opened' is Switched On Or Control 'Basement Stairs Door-Opened' is Switched On ) Then Set Scene 'Hallway Auto Light' On Else Wait 2 minutes Set Scene 'Hallway' Off

Does Nest support remote sensors also?

Sump pumps have pressure and tilt switches that come with them or can be purchased separately. Hysteresis can be done with time delays in ISY. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

I use ecobee3, ecobeee4, Venstar 7900, Insteon 2441ZTHs, and Tekmar stats. I like the ecobees the best for professional quality, and Venstar for the easiest to integrate with ISY. I was never impressed with the very low quality of the Insteon stats for a serious HVAC application. Hovever, the ecobees and Venstars take a third party box to interface to ISY.
