Windows 7 and windows 10 both come with Windows Defender anti-virus software that they update very frequently, free. Windows 7 could run Microsoft Security Essentials, a free download from MS, and it was even better. One of the reasons i dumped Win 10 and went back to Win 7 on two out of three former Win 10 machines, so far. All are the best anti-virus softwares I have ever run, not slowing down your computer much, very transparent, and never attracting viruses to my machines. Easy to remove without starting over, also.

The KPL LEDs can only be activated by Insteon Scenes. They will not respond to programs in ISY. KPL LED levels will but not On and Off.

Welcome to the forum! I don't use Alexa scenes. I use combinations of various brands, all from my ISY. My Hues are controlled via Network resources in my ISY, as are my Milights, and LEDenet bulbs and RGBWW strips.

I prefer the logic capability of the ISY and central control of all my data and logic. eg. If ....Tag1.humidity >= 50% AND ....Tag1.Temperature < 20.0C AND ....from 9:00 AM ....to 4:30 PM (same day) Then ....run ventilation I don't think this and many other logics can be done without ISY being in control. I could just have bought a SH Hub for that

The only firewall I ever had to allow access for was my Windows 10, 7, and java firewalls.

Very weird. From the two screen shots I assume your Tag Manager must be at 10.0.0.19 trying to circumvent the total block set by the Maximum Security setting locking out all outbound traffic. Why block all outbound traffic and then attempt to punch a special hole in it? Do you need to block items in your LAN from talking to the outside world? OTOH: The settings you are playing with would normally only affect traffic going out through the WAN. Is your router attached to the ISP via the ActionTec WAN port? I could never make that work on my Cisco talking to my Netgear (primary to ISP). Only LAN to LAN connections ever worked and bridge mode never functioned properly either. I am no expert at this stuff but hear your frustration and just trying to point out "maybe" obvious things to me.

Are you attempting to connect the Tag manager to a secondary router (Actiontec) talking to your primary router (Netgear) via WiFi? Routers don't typically block any traffic from inside your LAN unless you enable those special features. Native router firewalls are for outside initiated traffic and this is not the case for a Tag Manager on your LAN. It doesn't require any port forwarding from outside to inside your LAN.. I doubt you had to punch holes in your router firewall to browse the Internet. You shouldn't have to, to allow your Tag Manager communicate to the outside world either, a basic router function. Once you enable those router features in your router then only specific IP addresses and ports may be allowed to pass, depending which method you blocked things with, usually one of two methods.... Block everything except the list I specify or Allow everything except the list I specify. I don't use any blocking features in my router for LAN traffic.

I thought of that and marked Home as a house over a block but the screen has so many lines worn into it I can almost feel a groove to my house

It's never a problem until it is....

A few have found with dual band routers that the antenna system just can't handle the power output into two frequencies. Turning the power output levels down in your router, or access point, increases the success of most device comms. Sent from a tiny keyboard. Response may be brief.

Your firewall will accept an IP address of the Tag manager that will allow it free reign to send whatever it wants. This has nothing to do with your router and/or port forwarding. The firewall is part of your OS. Port forwarding is not required for the Tag system. Port forwarding allows things from outside to get through your router into your LAN.

Too bad the module was not supported. It appears to be an easy to use Insteon to serial port bridge that ISY would only need to know standard on, off style commands. Sent from a tiny keyboard. Response may be brief.

The Tag manager requires no port forwarding or any special router treatment. I does it's own connecting just like your browser does. Look into your Firewall settings and make sure they allow the IP address of the TAG manager, to pass. For a test, turn it off.

Only the Program Summary program run times can tell you if the program ran each time. I don't see any other way to determine your program isn't starting to run, and then cancelling itself, due to some other hidden logic elsewhere modifying the variable. Running logic with "is Not 1" is the same truth table logic as "is 0" for a variable only used for boolean function (two values only as 1 or 0) The "is NOT" technique is only necessary with elements creating program triggers that are only True in their dynamic state, while being evaluated from their own event causes. eg. If ...switchlinc is switched On AND ...time is 7:30 PM can never be logically true, as both triggers are only ever true when called by their own logic. Neither have any true static state. Else will be run at 7:30 PM, always Else will be run when On is received, always. If ....switchlinc is NOT switched On will run Else when On is received, always None of this is necessary with logic elements having static logic states of On and Off.

Program logic gets re-evaluated every time a state variable in the logic changes. If the logic section is true the Then section runs. If the logic is false the Else section gets run, and the Then stops. In one of the v5.x versions the program got re-evaluated every time a value was installed in the state variable (think Rest also), instead of only upon a change. I believe this was corrected now to behave like other variable controlling methods. Program logic is not evaluated if the value doesn't change upon a variable value write. It would be a waste of ISY engine time.

From your first statement the success of the program running is intermittent. If this is the case, and I think oberkc gave some good troubleshooting techniques, is the running of the program recorded in the program summary tab when the program appears to fail from manually changing the variable? If the summary shows it ran by time synchro, and the program did not run then something is turning it off again, suggesting variable negative feedback or defective ISY engine processing. At that point, with absolute proof, I would do an ISY factory reset and test again, then UDI contact. Bad SD or contacts? Did you state which ISY revision you are using?

Have you manually changed the value of the variable to divide the problem into output or input from the variable value? Does the variable state have any dependency on the state of the humidifier? Creating a negative feedback loop. Is your program triggers enabled? Have you checked and compared the links in the output module? factory reset it and restored?

Really cool device but it seems very new and therefore no support for it would be installed in ISY994, yet. May be worth requesting support in the feature request thread to UDI.

I was going to become one but maybe later.

It was some debugging/testing process the code writer went through, that left some French residue in most of our voicebases by accident. Glad your working again!

The main problem is... ISY cannot parse inputs. Sent from a tiny keyboard. Response may be brief.

Once somebody brightens one light in a scene involving 20 devices, is the scene now on or off? Varying scenes is an oxymoron. Sent from a tiny keyboard. Response may be brief.

SH cares a lot about quality. Some indicators are there. They just have extremely poor management that don't understand how to effect it. Quality Assurance will never make good customer relations. Somebody is reading the failed 1970's management playbook,still, proven unworkable for so many years.

The temperature range given in the spec. is a conservative range for the electronics. The range I posted is from actual testing, as mentioned in my post. Look at the data stream in the Admin Console events and it soon will become apparent the data values, 0-255 counts, are 0 - 127.5 degrees C. Each binary increment is 0.5C. For 22.5C reading you will see a 55 value in the data stream. For 15.0C, the data stream will read 30. Humidity reads one for one percent. BTW:When external is selected on the stat, the value sent is one degree C for each count so the resolution is only 1.0c instead of 0.5c for the internal selection. The negative values are interpretations using standard signed 8 bits values. A value of 254 eauates to -1.0 degree C. This was never intended to happen and ISY does not interpret it as such as the value would also represent 128.0C, which would be the correct interpretation. Also, accuracies are probably out to lunch at these points, outside the stated range allowance.
