Most of the time you have to at least reload the admin console. Most of the setup is a load with boot-up thing. Admin console is not dynamic in many cases.

Mine did a similar thing but I can't remember what I had to do. I did have to reinstall the PIN key into the ecobee website setup. The first one took OK and then failed right after for some reason. With mine I deleted PG2 ecobee NS as I moved. New stat and new PG3 install. Not sure if that made any difference. Check the ecobee NS logs. IIRC I had several PIN rejected lines inside the log.

If you have good backups (IoP and PG3) , you could factory reset your polisy and re-install. Open a ticket with UDI. They may have some techniques to sniff your password. Your port address may have changed or be forgotten.

You don't upgrade PG2. It is not supported any more. Stay as you are or upgrade to PG3.

Yup cloud dependence is awesome and easy... ...until it isn't. Roger's seems to be back up again. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Most advice is to never use automatic lighting in staircases. It is dangerous, as the sudden darkness makes people freeze and they can fall down the stairs from the sensory/brain confusion it causes.

IoP admin console doesn't display/load Notification Menu @Michel Kohanim The custom notifications menu is always blank until a notification is edited and then updates. This happens each time the admin console is loaded.

The forum needs a sticky (permanently at the top) thread with announcements for new features only from our fearless leader(s), so that user stay informed of recent upgrades and avoid some of the new feature confusion in the forum as well as lower the WTF? traffic here. Sort of like a digital Vatican balcony? Thanks!

Is that the button I didn't know I needed to push because I didn't know there was one?

"Don't use SSH anymore to update"? ..but it is so much simpler and I gave up on clicking that hard to find reset button. I don't think it every worked properly on my Polisy, yet. I cannot tell if it is pushed or not. Blindly pushing a metal object into a hole is not a good thing. I have never been sure there is even a PB back there.

Although I have a few Zwave devices and a SiLabs 700 dongle, I have been trying avoid a Zwave system after hearing so many negatives in forums. I may have to push myself some day but after downsizing my home (severely) I have boxes of Insteon devices right now and not much need for new gadgets. WiFi has been taking over for lighting here. I just threw out almost a dozen Zwave receptacles I inherited. I think they may have been series 300 units, and more terrible UI , so far. I was previously looking forward to moving to Zwave but they really don't seem forward now. My experiences so far has been like going back to the 1980s with X10.

Never heard that before. However I have about 10 LDs with no usage for them anymore and need a door detector to detect entry and exit direction, along with an MS.

I just purchased a Door/ Window sensor from Amazon.ca. Surprised they would still have some stock yet. Was thinking somebody might trade me one for leak detectors. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Thanks! 2.1G still avail here.

Sounds like another device may have got onto the IP address and clobbered your comms with polisy. Have you assigned an IP address for it in the DHCP reservation table or manually assigned an IP address inside your polisy? If this is the problem you may need to assign an IP address in your router for a fixed address and then power cycle your router to force the other device to assume another IP address.

What doesn't work about it? Give more details (what does it do and doesn't do) as the logic looks good here.

@Michel Kohanim @bpwwer Battery device MS 1 device Option button, hangs IoP while Battery Write option is disabled. Trying to set an option on a newly -reinstalled Insteon MS I. Trying to use the deferred writes feature to write to the MS using the triggered write program technique. However every time I click the MS device "Options" it hangs IoP and it has to be rebooted. Restarting it on the admin console configuration page doesn't seem to do it. After I get a TCP error message box or the one below, the ISY admin console goes into a perpetual busy indication and most functions lock up. I can see some programs updating variables from the ISY internal clocks but not much else works. After 10-15 minutes the busy boxes still keep coming up. I have only installed about 20 program so far on this new environment. The only way I can get any control of my IoP v5.4.4 is to reboot the whole polisy or SSH use sudo service ISY restart Note that "sudo sevice udx restart" did not reset the problem, although when reloading ISY Launcher, the UUID address only ever shows 00:00:00:00:00:00 until ISY is restarted or power cycled. This has been repeated with the same result at least 10 times now.

I am not sure what you have to set up to enable WiFi and make a connection on a polisy but usually WiFi uses a different MAC address than a hardwired connection. You may need to set up another IP assignment on your router for the WiFi and then inject that same IP address into your finder. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Yeah, I guess i purchased my NR module outright and had it transferred to my polisy. Mine is not included with my ISY Portal subscription. No module information shows up in my polisy as it did in my ISY994s. I only get a response of "Modules are all up to date" now.

You may have to contact UDI. Most of my polisy lighting depends on this module. It must be an oversight when they ported ISY over to polisy and facilities to install it were forgotten. @kzborayISY portal has a different function than the NR module and cannot replace it. IIRC, the Network module is now being included with a subscription to ISY Portal though, and the lone NR Module may not be available separately anymore.

Would be good test of the intent of the new owners. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Polisy runs about 1200% times the CPU power of ISY994 and that would require a fan to make noise and wear out. This way the large metal case avoid all that, acting as a heat sink. Don't try to wash your hands of polisy now. "heat sink" is not a warm water wash station.

I have never heard of any beacons going back and forth on WiFi. I cannot detect any traffic on any of my devices unless higher level protocol layers do a keepalive packet on a periodic basis. If my devices are not used for a period of time the router forgets them and drops them from it's connected table. This happens to almost all my devices. My WiFi bulbs get sent a keepalive packet via a status request every 90 seconds that I set in my software. If they are not talking or being talked to they do not consume any bandwidth from the time pool. No time slots are reserved AFAIK. 100 inactive devices on WiFi5 do not consume all the bandwidth for other devices. Perhaps that was some newer technique used in routers. I always thought WiFi was just another collisions detection system for arbitration as wired Ethernet is.

I believe that us why multitasking and Insteon scenes cannot use a response. Do many devices trying to report back at the same time could really bog down comms for a few hiccoughs fighting over no arbitration technique except to keep blasting away at it. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk
