Correct but.... 240 volt loads are not connected, and cannot affect, the Neutral. Yes, with a bad neutral, the two 120 voltages can vary up and down, float between 0 and 240 volts (load dependent) but loads can only affect voltages and lines they are connected to. The bright flashes are caused by 120 volt loads on the opposite phase / leg causing the neutral to be "off-centre". I always think of it as two ridgid but bendy posts, each with spring to the centre (neutral). Too much pull on the common centre point moves the centre point over towards one post. Now one is shorter (low voltage) and one is longer (higher voltage). With a good neutral connection the springs are more reinforced and ridgid. Of course the ground wiring helps the rigidity and complicates finding it when the neutral is intermittent or missing. Has it rained lately? Then along came plastic plumbing and water meter techs disconnecting the jumper around the plastic meters.

Nonsense. A 120 volt bulb is connected to the neutral and could cause brightening. A 240 volt load is not connected to the neutral and does not involve the neutral connection or capability. Brightening only happens when a load connected to neutral and the opposite phase is applied.

Actually it is the opposite of that. When a 240 load is applied, it will not affect a loose neutral. If a loose phase is happening the 240 load will reduce the voltage across one or both phases and lights will dim but never brighten. With a bad neutral 240 volt loads are not affected, only the 120 volt loads. 120 volt loads can cause the other phase conductor to increase voltage as the bad neutral cannot maintain it's voltage position in the centre (split) of the 240 volt. The result and fix is the same, regardless. Your electrical supply company needs to be alerted to investigate this. It may end up being your problem, depending where the onus is divided. Ours was always at the meter base and the wiring from the meter base to the main switch and panel was the customer's problem. Some nice utility worker may follow up and do you a favour, in that case. Otherwise it will be an electrician call and $$$.

I hope that isn't real! That would indicate the same old stupid Insteon mentality again for the third time. Please tell me it isn't real. UPDATE. I just attempted to order the same TriggerLinc and came up with two shipping options. $171 USD and $180 USD for Fedex shipping. Well, so far, I don't see any bright future there and hope this is some initial error that will be corrected in their maturity as a new company.

That would be too bad for aartech.ca since they were a major supporter of Insteon in Canada, offering guarantees that (old) Insteon wouldn't honour. The progress intent is awesome but the outcome may be a disaster for their Canadian market considering the huge shipping costs charged to cross the border with product. Usually, crossing the border in bulk at much reduced prices is very beneficial to this process. They may price themselves out of the Canadian market without some vice to get them here, without ridiculous price hikes and poor warranty support.

I'm going hard too! Damn! where did the stroke off font go here?

Sounds like the same old "loose neutral" on the electrical feed from the street transformer. LEDs indicate these problems better than incandescents ever did.

I have about 10 Insteon Leak Sensors that U have no need for any more. If interested PM me.

$iMotionCount =+ 1 Probably would be listed as $iMotionCount += 1

Yeah, It seems rather odd that the webpage alexa app will not allow so many things for setup, and yet under the devices you can individually disable/delete items and also discover new items...and without the silly verbal reminders and warning, so annoying. No I don't have a Hue Hub,..... and why only a reminder bout a Hue Hub over the other few hundred brands? Oh yeah a warning! If you delete all your ISY devices for longer than a few seconds you will need to re-define and re-enable all your Routines inside the mobile Alexa app again.

Alexa doesn't like when you cancel things in ISY Portal, and sometimes disables things it thinks do not exist anymore. AI (guessing) at it's finest.

It is intentional then and I didn't find a bug to report. Thanks. Mentally fixed here. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

This must be new to me also. Did you mean IoP? I have never heard of logging in to polisy via ISY finder. My URL is http://192.168.0.165:3000/dashboard I never use https.

While on this subject, what is with the login via ISY Portal that takes you back to Polisy to login again, every time? I thought only one login was necessary last update. It seems the login process has gone haywire again.

@Michel Kohanim IoP error after TriggerLinc option close. IoP 5.4.4 Polyglot 3.1.10

Gotta' wonder if a bleach bath could make these work again for a few more years. It may make the plastic somewhat more brittle but it would be worth a shot. Hopefully the new Insteon could offer replacement parts for those. They don't contain any ICs so there should be no excuse there and it could be quick money for Insteon.

"Trigger" was Roy Roger's horse so.....

I would wait until Michel gets on this from your open ticket. I assume you meant to use the acronym IoP, as IoT has a different meaning typically, and may confuse some. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

I don't think aartech.ca had one Insteon item in stock a few weeks ago when I last checked, so I would say Insteon is feeding our Canuck counterpart nicely.

I have always had to restart my whole polisy any update I have done. Some small quirk always seems to show up. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Yeah, It seems like it would be so easy to add another pulldown option in the menu, and add the same code without the "program Stop"

Just some observations Why not use vacation mode if a permanent hold is wanted? I am not sure Away climate will ever be Indefinite remotely, and may not be a possible combination . I have never used Away on my ecobees. This is my third, now. What is your internal schedule hold set to? This may be overriding any remote Hold. I gave up trying to have my ISY control my ecobee stats (they already contain very advanced logic) and went the other way around, finding that the ecobee stat firmwares were so much more stable and didn't rely on cloud and multi-processor mediums to operate. In the end, a much more reliable and easily settable way was for the ecobee Vacation schedule status to control my ISY vacation logic for the whole house. If the connection failed it was only some fancy HA stuff like humidifier, HRV, fan cycling, security lighting etc.. not my home heating. Of course my house (slab heat in Canadian winter) would only reheat about 1 degree per hour, at best, so when it failed, we slept with a lot of blankets the first night home and used the stove a lot, the next morning

Here is what I would like to see... Program 1 If condition = True Then deTrigger Program 1 <------ disable If section without stopping it do something wait 5 seconds do something else enable Program 1 <----- enable If section Else ----

I heard you were coming and moved. Here is a map of southern Ontario. See the braying elephant? I lived in a**hole.
