You won't be notified of a firmware update. Here's the 5.3.0 uodate info.

@asbrilI'm not sure to whom you are directing this. I have everything you mentioned. My comment was directed to seattlestexan. My confusion is if everything is working fine, why is he here with a problem?

Now I'm confused!

Your Firmware and UI have to match you are attempting to us 5.0.16 firmware with 4.6.2 UI. This information can be found on the first page of the firmware. Here's the link: Follow the instructions to a "T"!!!

Yes.

My experience has been that in most cases when you have an organization like Z-Wave Alliance create a protocol designed for many manufacturers, they allow manufacturers to add a certain amount custom features to their products. Android is example of this. Android allows phone manufacturers carriers to add their own features to the Android system. Companies like Insteon and Apple have proprietary protocols. All products are manufactured by them so there's no opportunity for other manufacturers to add features. Thus their products are all going work basically the same.

The age old question in sales, would you rather sell razors or razor blades? I think the same thing holds true for Insteon, they really want to sell devices. Hubs are how they sell their devices. Insteon hubs are a much easier way to get into home automation due to price and ease of use. Some people like that. My guess is, Insteon loves the sales of their devices that are generated through other manufacturer's hubs as well. It would be interesting to know the percentage of their device sales that are used in other than Insteon hubs. My guess is, it's significant enough they wouldn't want to lose that business. From what I am hearing the home automation business had a pretty good year. I tend to believe that. In my area, hiring a contractor for almost anything last year was very difficult. They were all swamped with business. I would bet the increased demand along with the supply issues due to Covid have created the supply problems for Insteon.

The ISY Launcher requires an internet connection.

I installed the app and it's working very well. Being able to monitor node server data on my phone is what sets this app apart from others for me. Thank you!

@bpwwer, @MrBill, @maxnorth Using the information you all provided, I have grouped the AQI readings in 25 point ranges from 0 to 175. Whenever it changes from one range to another I am notified. It's working as intended. Thanks again for your insight. Here is an example of my programs. Program 1 EPA AQUI 100-125 - [ID 008E][Parent 0001] If 'Polyglot / Purple Air AQI / Outside' EPA AQI > 100 And 'Polyglot / Purple Air AQI / Outside' EPA AQI < 126 Then $Aqui_100_125 = 1 Else $Aqui_100_125 = 0 Program 2 AQI 100-125 Notification - [ID 0094][Parent 0001] If $Aqui_100_125 is 1 Then Send Notification to 'Email' content 'EPA_Aqui_100_125' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

That's very interesting, @maxnorth. Thank you!

Thank you @bpwwer and @MrBill. Much appreciated.

I have the program below to alert me when the EPA AQUI is over 100. It works fine. Right now I get continuous updates as long as the AQUI is over 100. I would like to change the program so I get notified once when AQUI goes over 100 and then again when the AQUI goes under 100. . Here's my current program. EPA AQUI Greater Than 100 - [ID 0088][Parent 0001] If 'Polyglot / Purple Air AQI / Outside' EPA AQI > 100 Then Send Notification to 'Email' content 'EPA AQUI Greater Than 100' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Thank you!

Nathan, I can help you with a PLM and 5 switchlincs.

Create a program in your ISY to ,open your garage like this: Open Garage Door - [ID 0089][Parent 0001] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'ZW 018 Garage Door' Open Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Create another program in your ISY to close your garage door like this: Close Garage Door - [ID 008A][Parent 0001] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'ZW 018 Garage Door' Close Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Then add programs to Alexa as scenes. Then create routines for opening and closing your garage door using the scenes.

Have you tried pressing the "Write Changes" button?

What are the steps you are using to set the parameter?

Do you not have an "Options" button to the left of the "Users" button on the admin console?

Have you tried restarting your admin console?

From your admin console click on "Help" then click on "About" and make sure the "UI" and "Firmware" versions are the same.

i added the new homeowner as an admin and then removed myself from the account.

I sold the house and included the ISY, Insteon devices, Z-Wave devices and Elk alarm system .

Try this. https://smile.amazon.com/Honeywell-TH6320ZW2003-Thermostat-Comfort-Control/dp/B07HFL7R44?pf_rd_r=E95RV54897XWX4GR0GW2&pf_rd_p=be25f964-4afb-442f-819e-9e628b270a7c&pd_rd_r=5bc4fd8a-9c5b-4187-973a-e549ba548c4c&pd_rd_w=EuYOj&pd_rd_wg=oYyG6&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_d

You could plug in an Insteon plug-in device in the other buildings then check to see if you can control it from the admin console.

GoControl has worked well for our needs as well.
