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

They can be used to control dimmers but are not dimmers themselves and therefore have no usage for more LEDs to indicate levels. IOW: They can send the dimmer signals but cannot receive them.

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.

...and UD has made some arrangements there also. I see none of it on the aartech.ca website yet but I am sure it will come. Likely a little too late for me as I am downsizing a lot and have boxes of things I will likely never get to use again. I have run out of receptacles. Maybe Insteon will put out a wireless receptacle?

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.

FYI:Mine installed and initialised without any problems. I haven't found any changes from v5.4.4 yet though. However is did cause me to spell some words funny.

shhhhhh.... it's a secret upgrade that reports back without your knowledge. oooops! Did I say that outloud? I installed it also. I didn't see any of my bugs I have been watching so I was also looking for a "review" thread. I wasn't sure whether I could start one.

Not for Canada unfortunately. It would likely be cheaper for Insteon to just produce and ship a new one than to pay shipping both ways plus $50 to repair. Sounds like about the $120 CAD mark by the time it's done. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Here is a one program trick I like to use to create an 'inline If-Then' construct inside programs that should work. You will get a notification every time the threshold bobbles from <=5.0000 to >5.0000 kW, if there is no time hysteresis used. I inserted 2 hours as a random amount of time. YMMV. MBR Aux Heat On If 'Emporia / Vue 2 L / L11 MBR Furnace' Killowatts > 5.0000 kW Then Repeat while $iUsageAlertSent = 0 Set 'Notification Controller / Service Pushover polyglot' Send Sys Short With Params To all Priority=Normal Format=Monospace Sound=Pushover (default) Retry=30 Expire=60 $iUsageAlertSent = 1 Repeat 1 times Else Wait 2 hours $iUsageAlertSent = 0

There is a problem with the single program in that it will send notifications every second value change. First time the threshold passes 5.0000 kW the variable $iUsageAlertSent will be set to 1. Second time the threshold variable changes over 5.0000 kW the $iUsageAlertSent variable will be equal to 1 and the If section will be evaluated as false, running Else. Now $iUsageAlert will be set back to 0. Third time the threshold changes over 5.0000 kW the notification will be sent again.

Use two programs. The first one senses the event and runs the second program. The second program disables the first program and sends the notification. After the desired time or event the second program re-enables the first program. Techniques like this sometime require a third program to enable the first program to avoid it being 'stuck' in disable mode due to user error or power failure while disabled. I find I prefer using a variable as they are more bulletproof. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Where did the installation put the file? Not where you put it.
