  1. I3 devices do not respond to an Insteon generated ALL ON... the ALL ON issue with Insteon products, beat to death here on the forums and yet still relevant even today. There's a test button on iox, you can press it, and everything else turns ON but not i3 devices... they removed the code that responds to it.
  2. The new version is called PS01. It's both a relay and a dimmer, you configure which at installation, or afterwards. To me it's s all pros: It appears different than prior models, more subtle, less "clicky / techy", doesn't draw attention. The light on the switch is dimmer and more subtle I and others have proven via testing that it is immune to ALL ONs Slightly smaller package, a little easier to get in the jbox It uses the i3 protocol and that is claimed to better... very little docs on what exactly that is and how it works I started over a new-to-me house and only have PS01 switches and they work really well. I have some legacy micromodule dimmers and they work as expected with the PS01s
  3. When java is refreshed, you need to re-download the launcher: https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp Delete existing links/icons first
  4. Ok. Policy has both, my bad recollection. I wouldn't upgrade if you're not experiencing problems
  5. If you don't have a need to upgrade, not experiencing problems or limitation, I'd stay as you are. Not sure the time and $ involved would serve you vs investing in additional automations. Maybe proactively change your SD card in your ISY. The product history is - ISY 994 - Node server capability added years ago and a separate server was needed - Policy became UDIs official method of hosting node servers - eisy does both functions in one box
  6. Yes, that block of code would be needed including the Repeat 1 time, which simply marks the end of steps in the repeat loop. If your count down scenario is the same for all zones, you could put this repeat -countdown code in a separate program (with no if) and call it from each zone's program. Might take some experiment and testing, but it's plausible.
  7. Yes, you'll need a PLM. You can move your existing PLM over, but if it's a serial PLM you'll need UDI's special serial > usb cable. Sometimes these migrations require you to spend a lot of time re-establishing Insteon. Since your PLM is that old, it comes from a time before they made production changes... maybe get a new PLM now and switch over and get it over with during your upgrade. We can talk about the steps later if you choose to go this way One more thought... Insteon is releasing a new version of the PLM, they say this summer. If it was me, and my system was working ok... I'd wait till later this year and upgrade to a new eisy, new re-engineered PLM... go through the upgrade headaches all at once... and let it sit another 10 year.
  8. Insert @IndyMike's suggested repeat loop steps at this point in your program Then $I.MinuteCount = 2 Repeat While $I.MinuteCount > 0 $I.MinuteCount -= 1 Wait 1 minute Repeat 1 times Set 'Basement / SC BSMT Entry' Off Obviously tweak the variables of the loop to count down your desired wait time
  9. I have to believe it's via Node-Red. Since no one else answered this, I'd open a ticket with UDI and point to this thread and ask them specifics. Posting back how you successfully got it work here afterwards will help others in the future.
  10. Ok. Where/how are you telling it to turn on? With UD Mobile App? Or using geofencing in the UD mobile app so it tries whenever you get close to home (driving, etc)?
  11. See the Programs, right next to Main.. click that one and it will let you create the program iox is the new name for the software you are seeing, the admin console.
  12. Have you logged into the iox java console, or did you do everything in the UD Mobile app? The programs tab in the iox java console is right next to the network tab, which is where all of your devices are. That's where you'll create that program
  13. This works on 994, Polisy and Eisy
  14. Hi and welcome to the forums! Yes you can. The scene you created is considered a 'virtual circuit'... meaning use it, and it only to control the lights together and not the devices themselves 1- For dusk - dawn automation, you create an iox program that looks like this New Program - [ID 005E][Parent 0001] If From Sunrise To Sunset (same day) Then Set 'Lighting Indoor / Virtual Circuits - No Program / Living Room / Lamps' Off Else Set 'Lighting Indoor / Virtual Circuits - No Program / Living Room / Lamps' On This is how it looks in iox when you do it, substituting your scene for my sample above The Set ... lamps on is my scene for 2 lamps, turn the Scene on and off, not the individual devices. The scene icon looks like this in iox 2- Use the same scene in UD mobile... Turn the Scene on and off, not the individul devices. Hope this answers it
  15. Yeh I forgot to mention that the old iox desktop icon(s) need to be deleted before downloading start.jnlp so it doesn't get confusing. Sounds like you got it working so its all good!
