  1. The soft release of 6 may have done it unintentionally. I'd open a ticket.
  2. I'd recommend submitting a ticket before taking more direct actions. This problem is not on the "usual suspect" problem list https://universal-devices.com/my-tickets
  3. Here is the link for the specs. Scroll down or search for Variables https://wiki.universal-devices.com/ISY_Developers:API:REST_Interface
  4. That's also a reasonable assertion, except I ran it in the distant past and moved to v3, "un-configured" the old skill... and did not get that email I think if we have v3 running, ignore the message
  5. Is is possible you haven't gotten rid of older version(s)? If you have the older version of Amazon Alexa skill loaded for your Alexa, that would explain it
  6. See this thread There is a newer skill that we all should be using
  7. This is an Insteon dusk/dawn sensor I built. It senses dusk and a iox program responds. You need to buy an Insteon on/off micromodule and a dusk sensor for a lamp post. The parts list is in the post. It's not really that hard or technical You can keep it as simple as one program. Over time my program(s) got more involved to account for edge conditions like a dark storm cloud blowing in during the day, car headlights or other lights shining on it. I ended up buying a project box for it and placing it in a bedroom window facing south outside. It does work well. If it you decide to do it I can post the programs
  8. To @Techman's point: flaky, inconsistent behavior is one of the symptoms of a dying plm
  9. I just looked at Insteon.com and could add both varieties of PLM to my cart.
  10. Did the problems appear right after the time of the above quote? Did the router change the eisy/policy's IP address also?
  11. There is a manual for it, with a 2019 date on it. Guessing this is what they're planning to releasa. It is the same physical package as the newer lamp module. Comments in the manual about the improvements: Expanded operation to 100-240VAC and 50/60Hz. Increased Insteon links storage from ~1000 to ~4,000 links with faster read/writes Uses the same communication protocol and structure to match earlier models Updated all processors with increased memory space and speed Beefed up electronics to reduce failures due to AC-mains electrical spikes, noise and heat from poorly ventilated install locations New and smaller enclosure that matches other Insteon plug-in products Increased powerline transmitting signaling levels and robustness New RF circuit with higher sensitivity components and calibrated antenna circuit Changed USB translator circuit from FDTI to Microchip with built-in Windows support and hassle-free use with Mac OSs 2234222.pdf
  12. It's really wierd, the forum blocks me if I paste all or part of the log entries from the elk plugin... Look at the top 20 or so lines, warnings about pyisy Since you posted this under the plugin, the author will see it, but sometimes they're traveling and it takes a few days.
  13. The ISY report looks clean to me. The only thing that looked out of place in the elk log is the most recent 17 entries (I tried to paste them in here and the forum threw a block at me) Which looks like it happened as the last thing before you pulled the log. The plugin author will need to take a look.
  14. What would be more helpful would be a view of the ISY's log when it does/doesn't happen, or the event viewer. However, since it's a dry contact output it should never change from what you set it to. Inputs will do that
  15. Arrows mean the isy identifies it as a dry contact device. This arrow means it's a contact device that controls something... turning it on from iox will trigger the contact. You'll see that on/off status by clicking one of them and looking at the iox panel for it.
