  1. With udm, the occupancy setup on the portal is no longer needed. You create geo fences with the app and they'll appear a nodes on the isy. You do need an active portal subscription.
  2. Sending that many insteon commands back-to-back will create collisions on the insteon network, doing it 5 times will be worse. If they are all insteon devices, you can create an insteon scene for this and no program will be necessary
  3. (#1) 2. USB plm... Plug it into the USB port on the eisy. Conversion cable only needed of you buy a serial plm (#2) 2. Yes. But it would be best to plug in the plm to the USB port on the "out of the box" eisy, start it up and see the plm connected status prior to attempting the replace plm procedure. I had to restart the eisy a couple of times initially to get there (#2) 3. It won't hurt to have text copies of NRs, but I'd be more hopeful about the ISY restore
  4. My experience with several on/off outlets is that line noise from the load can damage them if the length of cable is to short. Possibly putting a filterlinc or a filter cap in the device will help
  5. Yep. Years ago when my kids were still at home, they were recruited, or volun-told, with a walkie talkie 🤪😂
  6. Insteon offers 2 wired-in filters for sale on their site to combat noise making devices. Hopefully one fits in the fan's j-box. I don't know which one to recommend. Maybe ask on the insteon forums Also, X-10 sold the xpf filter which I think still can be found. I've used it effectively on noisy transformers... But it can be a little bit of work to get it in a j-box
  7. I had low voltage lighting at my last house and had to filter every transformer to get them to work right. I used the old x10 xpf filters, but they are big.. The insteon ones look more workable in a j box
  8. Review this post and give the suggestions a try https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/24381-iox-launcher/
  9. Is it more likely the low voltage lights turn on ok, but not off? It's likely that the low voltage transformer is creating noise when it's turned on, interfering with the switch's operation. Is there a way to remove the transformer temporarily? if that's possible and test again to see if the program works. Insteon offers some filters on their sites that you can wire in to the outlet that services the lights
  10. Any chance that 1A.6E.12.1 is your plm? It won't show up in the device list. If it's older, it could be going bad.
  11. Depending how many, you delete all of the scenes, and then the switches from the ISY. Use the set button method to manually link them... that's the complete/sure way. FWIW I sold my house last summer with the same concern. I left the ISY... removing the more complex integrations. Left a google doc with the basics... brands, logins etc. I created a "house" gmail account that the portal, rainmachine, Venstar thermostats used for their online account; that was turned over with the doc as well.
  12. I had a related kind of problem a few years back. Its a problem with the Insteon device with the address 27EC8F First, see if the device is working, configured properly, look at the options. Is it an iolinc? My similar issue was with an iolinc. Here is the thread
  13. Tinymce is an editor tool kit that can be served up remotely. UDI is using this toolkit to deliver the portal. The message appears to have no effect on how the portal operates. I went in and edited my ISY contact info... was able to and it saved. I would say ignore it, unless a functional issue has been found
  14. As would the rest of us...🤪😂
  15. I didn't read the entire thread, so if you haven't tried, in this order: Unplug / replug PLM. Restart eisy, check again Factory reset PLM, check again, if connected, restore modem
