Slightly different circumstances, but I've had Insteon switches get set to a zero on level and it behaves exactly like this
-
A possibility is that the "On" level of the switches somehow got set to zero. This could be symptomatic of a dying PLM. Do you have an older backup from before the problem popped up? Restoring a recent backup may put the problem back. It's possible that the switches' on level is zero but Alexa and other methods are sending a different on-level, if that makes sense

If you installed Java, then visit this link https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp You should not need to edit any of the files to make it work. You can also try clearing the Java cache, not that should not be necessary for a new Java install

Go to pg3x and go to the production store, scroll down to the notification plug-in, click that and follow the directions If you've not been to pg3x before, you can go into iox, click the plug-in menu and pick the bottom option to open pg3x. (You'll need to be on you local network in your house, not remote through the portal)

To keep it simple, would you consider email > email? My guess is that most mobile providers are headed down the path of no more email > text One way would be to set up a separate email account just for this purpose and make sure it can send priority notifications on the phone. That way, the eisy notifications won't get lost in her regular emails, and as a new account just for this purpose shouldn't see spam. The ios email client allows for an manages multiple mailboxes within the app.

Schedule just stopped working and now seems haunted
paulbates replied to g.billings's topic in IoX Program Support
I see a potential issue. There need to be braces {} the statements -- If From Sunset to Sunrise next day And { 'Masterbath ceiling' switched on or 'Master suite' switched on } Then ..... I think that's what you mean. I didn't type everything all the way out, but you get the idea. The bottom two need to be logically put in a group or you will get unexpected results -
I inquired about it, here's what they said: Kevin (YoLink) Apr 10, 2025, 10:35 PDT Paul, Thanks for reaching out. The local hub is currently out of stock, and we don’t have an estimated arrival date for the next shipment at this time. Please check again next month or so. Kevin | YoLink Customer Support

Fixed ips sometimes are unavoidable.. I started with an ISY994 and used node servers on raspberrypi. There was no other (easy) way to reference the ISY. Ideally services will point at server IP (when necessary), apps connect to service advertised names.
-
Yes, this is now how it works. Static IP addressing is a support headache for UDI when routers are switched out and the local NAT subnet changes. The right way to do it is log into you router and use DHCP address assignment. It will give you a consistent IP address, owned by the router's DHCP.

Pick a device part of the group of affected devices and right-click and pick "restore device" This kind of thing happens with insteon. Not all the time, but it happens
-
No.. it will touch every link in every device that's part of the scene. Other than deleting and re-adding devices, which is very drastic, restore is the way to go Are any of the devices in question wireless sensors... motion, leak, door?
-
A quick test and maybe fix is pick one of the problem devices in iox, right-click and pick "Restore Device"
-
I'm the same boat, interested but not able to participate. I took the suggestion a couple years ago to join the advanced user threads and was turned down in both cases told to use normal yolink support instead.

If your plans / distance allow it, go up the west coast of lower michigan along Lake Michigan on the way to Mackinaw Island. Great coastal towns like Ludington, Frankfort, Glen Arbor, Petoskey and Harbor Springs. Sleeping Bear National Seashore is particularly beautiful. Last year I ran into @dbwarner5 in Elk Rapids at Short's craft brewery while at a kayaking event up there.
-
That's a great suggestion! Like you, there will be records of how much I've spent there over the ~17 years, and on what specific items, by number, which would identify single band. I only have 2 left, early lamplincs. I only think about them at Christmas as they get put away with the decorations at the end of the season and forgotten. They keep working with no weird behavior, and it looks like the $20 I'd get for them would not leave me much after shipping.

We love Northern Michigan, the bulk of our camping is up there. A friend of ours is CFO at Cheboygan brewery. In SC, we stayed in Santee State Park. Temps were high 60s to low 70s... Sunny.. *NO BUGS*. We liked sc so much in March we already booked our campsites for next year.

My wife and I take our dogs and camper to state and national parks to hike, kayak and bike. Mostly in Michigan, but we recently got back from a week+ winter relief in South Carolina near Charleston. I made plans a while back for this fall to go to the East Coast and Quebec.

To add to @Techman's answer, there is one model of i3 paddle switch - PS01. It can be configured to be a dimmer or a relay. It has both dimmer and relay electronics in it that can be configured at the switch, or in iox. It saves on spares as one switch can replace dimmer or relay function. I've always found them flexible. If it's not possible on the online form, they give a contact email support@insteon.com , tell them what you have, what you want and my guess is that they will accommodate you.
-
A couple of things, They're probably tired of supporting single band device problems Per the web page for this promotion, if you ship back 10+ devices, you get an additional $15 rebate. I imagine if you were sending back an even larger number, they would work with you on that if you contacted them first.
-
I have a number of i3 paddles. I can't find that setting. I looked at the main device, the flags and also under options for programs What specific i3 switch is this, maybe the i3 keypad? Can you provide a screen shot of where you're seeing this?
-
So some "ifs" here If you know powershell ...and... If there's a windows function that detects the docker and returns a value.... .... Then a powershell script could look for the docker to crash and write to the ISY web api and change a variable or run a program. I've done this part on raspbian on an RPi when I had one. I used a python program but similar approach.

When you use your Admin Console remotely, you enter your UDI Portal account (email) and that password when logging in.

Motion Sensor Only Works in Scenes, not Programs
paulbates replied to gregkinney's topic in IoX Support
Bigger link table and upgraded components is all I found out. I am hoping for i3 comms but didn't get a response on that either way. -
Motion Sensor Only Works in Scenes, not Programs
paulbates replied to gregkinney's topic in IoX Support
While it won't help at the moment, Insteon announced that a new PLM is coming, hopefully this summer/year. One of the features is a bigger links table. -
Are you using the app? Have you tried editing with iox/admin console? Are you using insteon? Lights that turn on but not off can be the symptom of a line noisy load like a transformer or motor. When the insteon switch turns the noisy device on, it starts up and creates line noise that overwhelms the switch's electronics. Could you answer those questions, and then post one program that shows one problem?
