  1. How many devices do you have connected to your router? Not just WiFi but your whole LAN count of devices? My ASUS AC68u (about 5 years old) would not handle more than about 52 devices. No errors, no complaints from the router. When I was running WRT-?? OEM firmware on that router the count allowance was even less. It threw NVRAM shortage errors for a long time once I crossed about the 45 device mark, but I didn't understand why and their suggestions were not helpful. It turned out they upgraded that model's NVRAM from 64MB to 128MB and I got an old model on sale. Three years of anguish was not worth a few bucks. Don't be confused by the range of the IP address table. It is not related. My problematic router could distribute 510 IP addresses easily, but couldn't actually remember that many. When you reboot all the devices compete for an IP address via the DHCP server. When mine finally disallowed my ISY994 and polyisy fro getting IP addresses while in the Caribbean, I wasn't too happy with it, and bought another $600 in routers in order to sleuth the problem and look for a fix. ISY was attempting to send out commands using a 0.0.0.0 address in the logs.
  2. Did you know the admin console has a search engine to find anything by Variable name, program name etc?.... Right click on any program name and select "Search and Replace" option on the pulldown menu.
  3. The Stop at the end of a section is useless anyway. Without Stop at the end of each section the program was going to end anyway.
  4. A scene with 0% will not do it, as you are turning the switch Off which will turn any scene off also. A scene with Closet Light On as an output will not work as it would also turn on the closet light with the main room light turn on. You will have to use a program and no scene(s). What is the problem with a 1 second delay to turn the closet light off? An On delay can definitely be annoying but what is the problem with a slight Off delay due to Insteon comm delays?
  5. I wondered about that combo colour also. I agree it sounds like a hardware problem now. Likely software colours are mixed up with hardware colours as well as two traces shorted together where the cut was made, or a connector doesn't line up with the traces on the LED strip. RGBW strips have at least 5 traces to connect to while RGB only has four traces to connect to. They cannot be interchanged. Things are not always solderless, just plug and play, in this world.
  6. ISY is a self-triggering event driven language. When you manipulate an element's status within a program you usually suffer a repetitive oscillation in the program when the same program's "If" section detects the change. "Stop" only stops the current execution but the If section retriggers it and it starts again. You may have trouble getting control of your ISY if you run this program.
  7. Welcome to the UDI forums!! I have a few dozen of these strips and many of them have different wiring. First when cut the opposite end has the wiring reversed. The ends of the LED strip may be marked RGBWC for Red, Green,Blue,White, and Common. First you need to find the common conductor on the strip and wire it to the C on the controller. Then turn on one colour only and touch the wires from each LED contact to it until the colour matches the selected colour. Repeat until all proper colours are wired.
  8. Unless the door closes before
  9. To combine both taps styles you can OR them into the same program trigger. If SwitcLinc is switched On OR SwitchLinc is switched Fast On Then whatever
  10. If ELK Garage door sensor is violated Then Wait 2 minutes You're a pushover Else ------- If the status changes the timer ether starts over or runs else and cancels the timer process in Then.
  11. Did you know the admin console has a search and replace function? You can right click on any program title in the program tree and select "Find and Replace" (or something similar) and then find any occurrence of that program name by various parameters. You may be able to find a forgotten program calling your suspect program.
  12. Correct. The ISY Portal provides a tunnel type access that is initiated by ISY from inside your LAN. Then your external access uses a fixed address via UDI's server that can send controlled access packets into your ISY. When your ISP IP address changes you don't have to track it or know it. To me the security is less than port forwarding as you now have an account and password to access your ISY as well as UDI having access to it. It does work well, it's easy, and you can get international access that is static and considered safer by most.
  13. Yes. The java admin console was launched about a decade ago and improved every few months. The HTML5 conversion is not known when. It has been worked on but many other more important projects sidelined it over the past few years.
  14. ISY Admin Console runs on java. Java has been running under almost every operating system for decades. Once the admin console is ported over the HTML5/CSS/js it will run on any browser than runs under any O/S.
  15. Some observations. Netflux is the brandname used in the past. The app being shown does not appear to be the MagicHome app, despite their many claims of using the MagicHome app. It appears to be another protocol that nobody has cracked yet. OTOH they do show the actual MagicHome logo. I would try the MagicHome NS. It isn't fancy but may get you going and prove it one way or another. I am not sure if the NS will self-adapt to 3 channel controllers though. Most people want white also.
  16. I think the LED shows it connected to the PLM. It still looks like could be a PLM problem to me.
  17. Yes but some report most Insteon devices won;t function plugged into the same receptacle. It may over drive the receiver circuit. If the PLM powerline transmitter isn't working it wouldn't work either. Did you try plugging a bad i/oLinc into the same receptacle with a working dual band Insteon device? Have you tried the four tap test to determine if the Insteon signals are transversing your phases to the i/oLinc? Have you tried another Insteon transmitting device with the i/oLincs or just the PLM?
  18. What type of powerline bridging between the two phases do you have? It may be possible you blew out your phase bridging and now powerline only devices don't work on the far phase. This still sounds like a PLM problem where the dual band devices are carrying the rest of the powerline devices but only in certain locations electrically closer to the dual band devices. How old is your PLM? Is it time to have a spare one that you can test with?
  19. The All On phenomenon is theorised as a clash in Insteon signals that appears as the All On signal to any Insteon device that cleans it up, repeats it, and causes Insteon devices to respond to it. It is thought to be created by RF devices clashing with powerline signals and confusing the protocol somehow. This can suaully be prevented by not echoing commands immediately in programs. eg: When an MS sends an On signal to a device, and a program resends the same command immediately after. One of the big gottchas is the KPLs which contain many devices in one Insteon address and physical box. Receiving a button On signal and turning on any LED in the same KPL is a likely problem. Inserting a Wait 1-2 second(s) is thought to help with Insteon protocol congestion. Using scenes and not programs where possible may help because no second signal is issued. This also may be exasperated by powerline noise as it can confuse signals and cause bits to be falsely enabled in the packets. See the wiki for more clues how to resolve this problem.
  20. The all on bug is a Insteon Scene type signal and does not send a status update. That is the big problem with the all on bug. ISY has not been able to detect the unwanted actions. Polling may help. Sent using Tapatalk
  21. Possibly your PLM powerline output is dead. The co-incidence is too strange. The other powerline devices could be receiving signal via another Insteon dual-band device converting the RF, while the near units cannot see any powerline signal. Try moving a suspect i/oLinc to the same receptacle as a working powerline only device?
  22. Easiest and most likely powerline interference test, is to unplug all garage door openers, and reinstall the KPL i/oLinc again. It's a very common problem with Chamberlain GDOs.
  23. That sounds like some firewall problem that wakes up late to the party. ISY Launcher is a cloud based service app.
  24. I did that with a few X10 Appliance plug-ins to run a big old 50A 240Vac mercury wetted solenoid I had hanging around. Worked great until I tried to turn it off. I am not sure which X10 Appliance model exploded on the first and which exploded on the second trial. A 20Kj MOV lolipop across the coil and another X10 Appliance module has been working for years now. You may want to consider using a MOV across any inductive coil fed by a contact. I am not sure how serious Insteon's hp rating is for their OnOff module / Appliance module. It can;t hurt either way for about $2.
  25. Are you sure about the2413u PLM model number. I thought that model was the USB version and ISY994 doesn't have a USB port. Have you tried the ISY Launcher? It will automatically match your UI version with your firmware. Have you checked if your UI version matches ISY's firmware version? Sounds like a job for super UDI support!
