UPDATE: I ordered the capacitors from digikey,com and spent about $11.00 (including shipping) for two sets of the 4 caps. Figured I'd get two sets in case I broke one as I installed it. (BTW, digikey is a great company and their distribution center is in northwest MN, only a few hours away. They will sell you one cap if you want, though shipping is about $5 minimum.) Unfortunately, replacing the caps didn't fix the issue, it has the same symptoms as above, relay doesn't toggle on side-button press, LED not lit, etc. Looks like I'll have to replace the whole unit, sadly, If anyone wants this second set of 4 caps for $7.00 delivered, via USPS, let me know. They are 1 each: C3 6.8uf/250V C7 220uf/50V C8 10uf/16V C11 100uf/25V

Thank you for the assistance, but I'm not certain how (if?) the caps relate directly to the power supply you suspect is failing? Would replacing the caps with ones found in that other topic under the section titled "Hardware V2.3 1430", likely fix the problem? (And note my label says "1342" under the revision, not "1430", if that matters?) Or would I be better off replacing the entire unit? I'm loathe to spend $45 for something I can fix with $5 or so worth of capacitors. I am very handy with a soldering iron so if I can fix it, great.

Have an IOLink 2450 that died on me. Revision is "v2.3" with "1342" printed below that on the label. Symptoms are: When you plug it in, the LED on the side may or may not light dimly. But it does not respond to commands or queries at all. If I try a factory reset by pressing the side button as I plug it in, one of two things happens. Either the piezo-buzzer sounds continuously until I release the button (regardless how long I press the button), or nothing happens. In either case the LED does not light. In searching this forum I've seen mention that it uses the same 3 capacitors that the PLM uses, and that they can be replaced the same way as you would for a PLM. Is that correct? And do the symptoms above suggest that the problem is with the capacitors, or that it's a bigger issue than that? If replacing the capacitors is likely to fix the unit, I saw a couple forum members named that have the parts for sale. Do they still, and can someone link me to them? Or are these caps common items I can find at a "Radio Shack" type store? Thanks in advance. Mark

When using 2FA with Gmail (as I do) I had to generate "App Passwords" which you use instead of your main password. I never got the regular Gmail pasword to work once 2FA was enabled. Go to . https://myaccount.google.com/ . and about halfway down the page is the section you want, App Passwords. Click that and define a device. Be sure to copy the password down somewhere safe, since you are shown the password only once. It's easy to delete and make a new one, though.

Mark, when you said: "Current state shows blank in heartbeat, wet, and dry. Query returns nothing." In my experience with these sensors (I have 2 of them) this is normal after a reboot of the iSY, or when first adding the device, and a query will never return anything from them. But test the sensor, after it's registered in the ISY and not in linking mode, by pressing the button on it once, quickly. That should show ON for Wet in the ISY. Press it again quickly once, and that should report ON for Dry, and Wet should show OFF. The heartbeat should update when the sensor sends that signal, once every 24 hours when it's working correctly, but in my testing at least, it also reports it a very short while after you do the test above. With respect to the linking mode you mentioned, clicking once more and it then blinks "twice-pause-twice-pause", there's a little (somewhat obscure) info in the Insteon full manual for the device. The quick start guide doesn't have it. *If* I've interpreted the sentence correctly, that mode is to remove (unlink) the sensor as a controller. Hope that helped.

I'm on 4.2.10, yes. (Updated that the day I installed the Z-wave board.) And after I posted about this, above, it has been correct since then, so about 6 hours now. If I had to guess, given the symptoms, I'd suspect ham weather was doing something, perhaps rolling out out an update? In any case, everything is spot on now. And...... it may be my imagination, but it seems the "delay" in data reporting is shorter than it had been, now less than a half-hour rather than 45 minutes.

It appears that hamweather(?) is having issues. My weather station, and my two local airports (KMSP, KSTP) have correct data when checked with other sources (APRS, CWOP, findu.com), but ISY is showing either blank values for certain variables, or values that are way off. And as of about 30 minutes ago, all but three reporting stations near me are gone. Mine isn't showing, nor are the two airports, when I do a Find or a Locate Me. Anyone else having this happen today? EDIT: and naturally, as soon as I posted and checked yet again, the data is correct and all stations are listed again. This was not the case for several hours, but it's correct now. I'll keep an eye on this throughout the day.

Ah, great, you're welcome!

I believe the issue is that you you need to allow this in the Java console. On Windows: Start -> Control Panel -> Java (32 bit). Java Control Panel -> Security sub-tab -> Exception Site List -> add your ISY's IP Address as a URL (i.e. http://192.168.1.100) Does that do the trick?

I've not had good luck trying to use the Double Press, not sure why, but I use "Hold" instead. Try changing your second program to: If IR 'IR_002' is Held And Status 'Family Room / Table Lamps' is not Off (etc) then trigger the program by Holding (Long Press) the button for about 2 seconds. Does that work reliably for you?

That's what I programmed to display on my Elk keypads, lol.

You have to be registered (as, at least, an "owner") to get there, but a page with a lot of examples is at elkproducts (dot) com/m1_application_notes.html and the page which Dennis refers to might be this one: disable_voice.html

If reliability and functionality is paramount, and cost is secondary, I'd personally go with the Elk motion sensors. I have three Insteon motion detectors, and while they're fine for my ISY program needs, they don't qualify as "security devices" in my opinion, and will be replaced with Elk PIR's in the near future. You'll need the M1XRFTW wireless module, yes. You may wish to look at their 2-way wireless starter kit, M1XRFTWKIT, that has the wireless module, one keyfob, two door sensors, and one PIR motion detector. The bundle price saves you a few dollars over the individual item costs.

Unless I've badly misunderstood what you asked, yes, that's how it works by default; the Harmony remote or its Hub issues IR commands via its two "IR Blasters" I have attached. As Michel noted, you do have to write (at least two, see below) programs for each IR command. In my case, I use a Harmony button PRESS as the "On" command, and button HOLD as "Off". I've not been able to reliably get DOUBLE-PRESS to work, however I only need on and off, so press and hold work fine. At this time I have only 17 scenes I want to control this way, so it took 34 simple programs to make this work. Here's one pair as an example: . If IR_001 is Pressed Then Set Scene "Overhead" On **************************************** If IR_001 is Held Then Set Scene "Overhead" Off . But the OP asked about ISY sending to Harmony (via IR, I assume), the reverse of the above, and I don't believe that's possible. The IR interface on the ISY is "receive only", and can't transmit. I don't know if the Network Resources module can "talk" to the Harmony Hub, though.

Topics here on the forum sometimes get missed. I'd file a ticket to support, I'm sure they can help you.

I'm not able to use Port 465 either, but CAN use Port 587. You might ask your ISP if you can use that Port number. If you can, try it. You may have to select "Use TLS".

Sheepwalk makes a humidity sensor for the 1-Wire bus: http://www.sheepwalkelectronics.co.uk/p ... ucts_id=55 which uses a Honeywell HIH-4031. I'll be ordering one of those at some point in the near future. (EDIT: Correction, I *have* ordered one just now.) I'm tracking this topic to see if anyone else has a bright idea, but I don't see any way to avoid a "vented box" of some type, unless you just hang the thing on the wall. That would be ugly, though.

That's a good question, lol. The upload to my web page is simply an index.htm and index2.htm (fancy page versus basic page) all in HTML format that the WeatherLink software creates on the fly, then uploads a refreshed set of pages and images every 10 minutes. The index pages are 15k and 4k in size. It's the small gif's that take up the most room and time to upload. If you need more info than that I'd have to go dig out the manuals for the station (but I'm perfectly willing to do so!) just let me know.

I think that either I'm misunderstanding how that works, or I didn't explain clearly what I needed to do and what my weather station is capable of. As I noted, my weather station is an older model that does not publish its data to any internet service/cloud/whatever like their newer models do. Instead it has software that gathers the data from the station, then pushes that data to a website that *I* own. The software (WeatherLink) writes the web page with the data, then uploads it via FTP along with gif images of graphs for that data. I do have the option of sending a summary to "APRS", but there's no controls for that, it's just a check box to send or not. And Davis does have a "WeatherLink Network" to which I could push the data, but that's a paid service which I'm not interested in. So, that said.... why and how is Weather Underground involved in this? I must be missing something. Thanks!

Don't want to hijack, but I'm interested in knowing the answer to your question as well. (I have an (old-ish) Davis weather station which has software that gathers all data via Davis' "Wireless Weather Envoy". I'd love a way to get that data straight into the ISY, even manually.)

If the "response to motion" is itself a Program, something similar to this should work: If Control 'light-switch' is switched Off Then Disable Program 'motion-alarm' Wait 5 minutes Enable Program 'motion-alarm' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Following up here... I checked the sunset/sunrise based programs, and all of them ran. So I don't have the same problem as the OP, it seems

My apologies, I should have been more clear. My run times were blank until I manually ran the "If" statement, but the programs still work as they should, I just tested one. Now, that was an sensor-based program (I opened a monitored door), not a time-based one. The next time-based event will be sundown, and I'll check this evening to be sure that ran. The OP indicated his programs weren't at all, apparently (I.... may have the same problem, come to re-read his post, but I won't know until roughly sundown.)

Same thing here and, yes, it was the DST change that seems to have done it. Run times will show again as soon a given program runs, either by event trigger or manually (I just tested).

Oh, I wasn't suggesting that it couldn't be, only that downloading and opening it with WinZIP or WinRAR produced the error I noted. Once opened, and that error ignored, the files seemed fine.
