That makes about 2 or 3 of you that peruse the FCC database. I don't see that as any indication Insteon will exist by the end of 2021. Don't get me wrong but, their complete marketing failure, using word of mouth, may have gotten them some business when their big competition was X10, but it will not get them far with the current market competition. Google and ZWave are in every grocery store, right beside the chocolate bars in the checkout isles (exagg.). Every store in Canada has dropped the Insteon line due to lack of product awareness and no sales. (no exagg.) Their disappearance will not be my choice but their choice lacking funds to pay their Engineer and janitor.

IMHO Insteon still has the best protocol of any system. Despite Insteon showing all the signs of folding up and going bankrupt for the last seven years, they haven't gone anywhere in that time and I believe they will still be around in 4-5 years, at least. Insteon just doesn't know how to play the marketing BS or even make a decent showing. They never had to, up until this point in time! Their quality always sold their products without speaking. Times are a changin' though. Starting over, I would still go with Insteon, and add on with Zwave, following ISY994's lead. It isn't one or the other.

IIRC you have to know the IP address of your ISY to make it work. Without the Internet there is no automatic finding.

Yup. It's easy with ISY. Takes about 60 seconds to factory reset each device and click restore in the A/C to replace what ISY already knows. Then add your extra links in ISY. easy-peazy!

IIRC v4 backups are not compatible with v5. Different format. You may need to reinstall V4, restore the backup, upgrade, fix the quirks, and then back up to a fresh V5 backup.

Baking soda or just put the sensor on a concrete or other porous surface. Test it on a paper towel.

Those zip files are too large for PKzip. You must use 7zip to unpack them.

Check the summary, eyeball the bottom program in the list, scroll it to the top and count the number of scrolls time the length of each page full. or Copy a backup file, double unzip it, and check the directory file count of the programs in that directory.

Do you happen to have a lot of 1101 codes, of any shade or colour, beside a lot of your devices in the admin console device tree? I think UDI would like to see this problem. IMHO the firmware has become less stable in later versions.

I would typically use enable/disable to control a one function/one program style permission but use a variable for multiple purpose/multi-program functions. I do find programs being enabled or disabled from time to time also but always assume it is is due to ISY rebooting or complex interactions creating some condition not foreseen by the programmer that left programs in the wrong state. I do find enable/disable more obscure than variable permissions but it takes less elements for some usages and that usually makes it more clear how it functions two years from now, when the insanity clears away more.

Makes sense to do one step at a time. The first two vaccines never saw a virus and do not involve the virus for production. They are synthetically fabricated proteins designed from a SARS-COV-2 DNA blueprint supplied to us by China. But they are very delicate, need to be deeply frozen, and our bodies kill them off shortly after discovering them. This will allow them to be manufactured in hours. Trust is the delay....so far.

These are some of the values I use for a few different state variables that control banks of lights.

Is the jump to HTML being done at the same time?

I conjunction with that thought, did the fixture come with it's own switch or dimmer included with the fixture?

On my older GDO I found with certain CFL bulbs I could open the garage door by remote but not close it further than a few feet outside the door. Yup...the CFL bulb blinded the rf so badly I couldn't get any range when the bulb was on, after opening the door. Despite the warning not to install LED bulbs they solved the problem anyway. I always buy dimmable bulbs for their better power supply filtering.

I assume that is where you got the screenshot....an MS II. The v.00 is some version number only. You will have to create a simple program to detect the analogue value of the battery and notify you.

Yeah, using the MS 1 devices (I have about 16 units now) sent you a low battery signal when the battery was low. This is the one that never worked in most of the MS 1 devices. MS II is an improvement but then you will sacrifice the ability of ISY to control time durations and have to rely on the MS II solely, for it's internal timeOut timer and then wait for the same timeOut timer until it can be triggered again. **Sigh** but it's just Insteon and their lack of Engineering that we expect. Here's hoping Insteon will announce a breakthrough device like a beeper, iR repeater, IOLink with advanced single band protocol transmitting signals multiple times, or something else really exciting, in the next decade.

You could try just unplugging one and test the other also. If this has just started there may be ne that the power supply is breaking down. Mine older GDO always made some noise that I blamed on my inverters. When I installed my second GDO with the battery backup, my Insteon system stopped functioning throughout the house to about 25%, so it was easy to find. There have been many complaints here over the years about these Chamberlain GDOs.

A couple of Insteon FiterLincs would be the simplest and fastest way to eliminate noise from Chamberlain garage door openers for me. If it doesn't work then you have two FilterLincs for other and future trouble shooting. They are easy. You just plug them in and plug the GDO into the filtered outlet on the end of the FilterLinc, and then the IOLinc on top of the FilterLinc in the unfiltered receptacle.

Since the SynchroLinc was discontinued (as Insteon/SmartHome further dies) I haven't seen any easy Insteon devices capable of doing this. Most of the more complex solutions were wired in. Possibly ZWave has some devices? Would be nice to hear from Zwave people about any devices they have.

One caveat with that. If you disable a program in the middle of timing, it will stop running and may never turn the light off, leaving it on. Measures need to be taken to clean all possible combinations up when re-enabling the program. In addition to the status/control methods, and the exemplify this, I have the original MS devices and despite their status showing on permanently, they also send a control On each time motion is detected. The differences between MS1 and MS II units is becoming quite large.

There may be some setting or clues in this setting realm under gmail webpage settings.

I can't remember the details anymore but there is a flag in the setting for the gmail account available via the same gmail webpage settings that allows "foreign accounts" to use or access your email servers. I don't know why this would suddenly give you problems, as google added this new security concept a few years ago, but it would be worth looking for inside the setup options of your gmail account. I know I had to enable the switch a year or two ago.

Access your google mail account via the webserver and see if there is a flag or email stuck in there, asking for permision, you need to approve. Google keeps changing it's permision and security ideas and dumping crap on their users. Then if you don't constantly monitor their latest idea you are left behind with some broken service. Google is a marketing company first, and doesn't really give two hoots about anybody's feelings or satisfaction, that doesn't forward their quest, at that moment in time.

curl: try 'curl --help' for more information which shows -s as a valid option. UPDATE: '| sudo curl' was English instruction, not bash script = all good now
