Thanks. already been done many times now. Best was service stop service start of each udx, isy polyglot Mongol that got me up with an actual UUID but after few minutes the UUID collapses again to 00.00.00.00.00.01 again and Insteon, and all i/o stops functioning again. This thing is just continuously crashing. Power cycled several times and clicked update several times now. May have to try my spare polisy or return to my ISY for the third time.

After mine rebooting and showing v5.5.0 it has now crashed and shows v5.4.5 with UUID:00.00.00.00.01 ISY Portal cannot find it. Currently running sudo reboot again. UPDATE: IoX Finder found proper UUID but would not launch Admin Console after IoX refresh now shows UUID 00.00.00.00.00.01 and now launches IoX but System Busy will not go away.

Modulus arithmetic is still defective and hasn't supported decimal fractions since v5.0.1. Notification customisations still hasn't been fixed as reported the last three or four versions. Selection menus also fail occasionally.

Interesting how these tags can remember eons of data updates internally but when the server goes down there is just permanent holes. Do the Tags only get one shot at updating their data and then the memory is cleaned out or does the Tag server just not bother recouping missing data? Am I missing some refresh cycle process to get missing data?

Mine are missing all data from 3:04 AM to 12:55 PM today.

Tag server down from Dom. Rep. also. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

I thought the migration software was complete. I moved mine when there was more mess than savings over to polisy. However, all is good living on the polisy exclusively. Much faster but a few outstanding quirks yet. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

I think mobilinc totally captured the datastream and therefore didn't play well with polyglot and ISY portal. It became one or the other. I believe that is why it has settled where things current are. ISY software paraphernalia doesn't have a large user base and it just became too much work for a small software writer to keep up the work required for no money. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

I would think an overall, high level comm success would be the best to start. The most important factor is to gather attention from the user that something isn't functioning. Then where and why is up to the user to find by troubleshooting, if they have the tech skills, or gain assistance from more techie people. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

@bmercier My Alexa is complaining about no contact with ISY Portal again also. ooops...didn't see you were on it already.

Have you done a Restore on the device from the Admin Console yet? Sometimes specific links get deleted or confused.

Look in the Admin Console|Configuration tab for later polisy versions. The SSH method doesn't function any more.

Another problem with this is [[SMTP ERROR--1]] is undocumented and offers no explanation of how to resolve it for the user. Other error numbers 2.... are documented.

@bmercier already responded several times. These occurrences have been very rare over the last 3 or 4 years. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Unplug the Zwave dongle and power cycle your ISY. That should prove if the dongle is dragging your system down with it.

I had mine bug-out on my Dell laptop. It was a PITA for a few months and I always had to use workarounds. Support documents always told me to go into the BIOS and enable it but the BIOS had no recollection of it. In the end, I think the only thing that could be done was to open up the laptop, disconnect the battery, and short out the BIOS backup battery terminals. Suddenly the BIOS woke and knew about the chip/function again and all was right in the world again. I used that opportunity to replace the laptop battery as well.

The size exceeds the capabiliy of zip program's size capabilities. The backup file is double zipped so you have to do it twice. Don't know why somebody would do that, because the second compression doesn't lose one byte. Use zip7 for larger files. However ISY was always capable. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Read more threads here. Insteon is partially back, under new ownership, that listens to users. They also report progress of their rebuilding the company and product lines.

Thanks everybody for the help. It seems my problem is likely the 2FA settings. I have avoided that as much as possible and never turned them. That was likely the time when they forced it on users and my notifications stopped functioning. It never made sense to me to have a password sent to the same device that my account is being hacked from, and it is a PITA. I have a few services that request a 2FA password every time I login. I then have to run to get another device (my cell phone) just to access websites from my laptop. I have dumped most of the services requiring that nonsense, and gone elsewhere. I will think some more about this. I assume once google 2FA is enabled there is no going back again with google.com? Google always reports I am accessing the account from my cell phone, while really on my laptop so I distrust the method, afraid I will lose everything.

Betamax was terrible if you put it in a VHS machine though. No wonder people don't buy it anymore. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

I have not been able to get my gmail account working for years now, and switched to the default (UDI) However, text messages now are getting assigned different numeric suffixes to every SMS and appears as multiple account sources making it a PITA to cleanup. Is it possible for you to send me a screenshot of your gmail setup, possibly blocking any credential password information? gMail formerly worked for me here but stopped a few years ago. I would like to return to gMail. IIRC I also used my ISPs freebie email address and server but they never used any security as I was on a dedicated line and they could tell my source anyway. Is this possibly a same account to same account problem that is being filtered? UPDATE Despite trying every combination of TLS on/off with matching ports 587/465, user name/filled with format observed, various gmail accounts with proven passwords, pop enables and not blocking on any account, account name including/not-including '@gmail.com', always leaving edited line and clicking "Save" the test email has never worked for me in the last few years. Port 587 with TLS returns an immediate [[Error--1]] = not documented in wiki. Port 465 without TLS returns same erro after 8000 sec timeout. After years of attempting this I concluded this was always just a bug in ISY software and gave up, going back to the default but the new various account names are a PITA and would like to make another email server work.

The time boxes are not greyed out. The ellipses are shown when the characters are perceived to take up more space than the text box sizes will allow. As @MrBill posted above, change your font size, change your Windows screen magnification factor, or just ignore it and just use the pulldown menus anyway. They still work the same.

It depends which machine you put it in.
