If it's connected via wifi, there's a chance that they picked Public vs Private network under the wifi settings. That could explain the symptoms

I've found that sometimes I have to rebuild a scene; remove the responder(s) and rebuild.. even with new Insteon products. i had a lamp module for Christmas lights in a bedroom at the far end of the house and spent time trying to resolve traffic issues, when doing the above solved it right away. If that doesn't do it, factory reset it and restore device

Chances are your ISY 99 has a local ip address subnet that is different than your new router. Example some use 192.168.0.x and some use 10.10.1.x etc. Do you have the old router still and able to turn it on and attach to it to see what IP subnet it uses? Many router/modems allow you to pick what subnet you use. An alternative is to: Power off the ISY-99. Press and hold the "Reset" button (usually near the power input) for 10 seconds while powering it on. This should reset the network settings and allow you to reconfigure the connection. But it might also rest the ISY, do you have a backup handy?

I had problems connecting to my PLM when I first set my eisy up. I had to unplug/replug the PLM, wait 10 seconds, and then unplug/replug the eisy a couple of times. Then it connected and it has been fine since

Ok... the the AC Cloud option tells the isy finder to download the iox client from an ISY server based on the local iox version in the ISY/eisy/policy; it nicely avoids the old problem of the version mismatch. It does nothing beyond that. I imagine a couple of things network related The internet where either the ISY or the remote session is not good and a connection between the two is spotty. This seems unlikely with this many locations that they'd all be bad unless there is one in common to all of the problems Do you have virus tracking software? Virus software can take a dim view of anything running on java. After experiencing the problem, try temporarily disabling virus checking software if you have it and see if that fixes it. FWIW, I used Realvnc Connect Remote Desktop software when I was building my ISY system. I used iox fully on my local lan from remote locations and it worked great. It was about $3/month for my single ISY setup. I did not have to open ports on my router like the old realvnc; this is a requirement for me. There are other freeware Remote Desktop software that use a reverse proxy through their secure servers so that no ports need to be opened on your router. I found this approach to be less problematic, and I could also access other local software when away, and even use my ipad to do it so I'm not dragging a laptop around.

Need a little more info. When you say cloud, do you mean via the ISY portal, or are you opening ports in your router to access the polisy on your lan? I'm not clear about what cloud access to local machines means. Are you talking about picking the Cloud option in the ISY finder?

I reviewed the Insteon webinar, and providing cliffs notes. All-in-all, good news New products in the works 0 - 10 volt fixture embedded module for LED lighting New PLM - no details, summer-ish release date. Marketing They're re-making their marketing presence; re-coloring(yelllow) & re-branding They're upgrading their distribution channles, but no specifics. Apparently a number of users want to buy insteon at costco, but it didn't appear that Insteon is going that way There's a single band trade-in offer coming, $10 exchange for single band devices (powerline only) and select competitor products. No details but it sounds like this will be announced relatively soon There's an Insteon Embassador program coming where you can get perks for providing certificates to freinds and family, who will also get discounts. No details UDI Support UDI & eISY referred to multiple times in a positive way It was stated that UDI is a key partner and the first one to get docs for new products Insteon understands the integration demark, where there capabilities end and UDI picks up They recommended users that need more than Director should look at eisy Matter update Their matter integration is not there yet My interpretation is that they're having the same uphill climb with Matter integration as UDI and others They pointed to smart assistants that they integrate with, like alexa, as proxies to Matter Other things: Phillps Warm Glow mentioned as a dimmable LED that works well with Insteon Users are wanting sunset products like syncrolincs and togglincs, but they're not resuscitating them unless there is a lot of specific demand for them

I use the TimeData Nodeserver which has strikingly the same syntax. FWIW, in TimeData, that program would execute on Feb 7th every year right at midnight. Another question, are you sure about the "Resource 'Send a flower' statement working? To validate that, right-click on the program in iox and select run then to force run the program and see if that works as expected.
-
The links probably hung around in the devices and the ISY doesn't know. If you re-read my post above, you should pick the device that exhibits the most problems and factory reset it. Then right click on it in the admin console and pick Restore device.

Modbus JSON is a standard, you need to define the file based on your modbus network so that eisy plugin can consume the data and read/write modbus devices. UDI, I believe, wants to integrate with it but not create modbus tools. You can web search tools either GitHub python or excel macros for a solution, or maybe the file already exists for you installation? My guess is once you've created the correctly named file and stored it in the correct location, the plugin will load that data and have related nodes for you to work with it

Those values come from pushover to integrate with it. The user key points pushover to your account. The application key is what pushover uses for each group, which you define. Here's how I use mine. Operation Log, Battery Alerts, House notices and House Alerts on the left are what pushover calls Applications. Each organizes the notifications you place into them and each has a unique key when you create it on pushover. To use each in a program, it looks like this. This one is a House alert. (I know it doesn't show up in my graphic above, but there would be one if there was a house alert message. The center, where it says 'Set' is the node you create for each pushover 'application' It's not super straightforward but once you go through and complete one you'll see.
-
You'll need to say where you are on the journey to set up pushover on the notification plugin You have the paid for version of the notification plugin? That's required There's setup steps for the notification plugin on the pg3 page for the plugin, have you done that? Here's what mine looks Iike when I setup a pushover node under custom typed config

Another thought is that keypads are the most complicated of insteon devices. I've had to factory reset the 6/8 buttons from time to time to get rid of quirky behavior similar to what you're describing. Out of the i3 devices discussed in the forums, the keypad has had the most quirks, even out of the box. In some cases insteon support is contacted and the device replaced. I'd try factory resetting the keypads + restore device, one at a time, starting with the non-i3s first.

What i saw in the announcement was that the latest update provided the ground work for it, get the software foundation in place on eisy

No. Version of PM won't matter. I see 2 possibilities: New plm is bad .. less likely There's a significant noise problem on your powerline. More likely. Look up the "4 tap" test and run it on your insteon devices and note the results. The 4 tap test will eliminate the plm as the problem as well as highlight problems

I don't know about the Alexa part, but the program is generally like this: If Status 'Garage door open' = On (however you detect it) then Repeat every 10 minutes (Statement that send the alert) When the garage door closes, the program will cancel

Preserve state variable value after power failure
paulbates replied to SHM's topic in IoX Program Support
Here's an example I use to keep data for my sump pump. You' ll always need two variable statements, one to assign the value, and one to tell the isy to remember it even if it reboots. If 'TimeData' Day of Month is 1 days And Time is 11:59:55PM Then $Sump_Pump_Maximum_daily_Gallons = $Sump_Pump_Gallons_Daily $Sump_Pump_Maximum_daily_Gallons Init To $Sump_Pump_Maximum_daily_Gallons -
Preserve state variable value after power failure
paulbates replied to SHM's topic in IoX Program Support
There is a way. Right after you set the variable, put an 'init to' as the next program statement with the same value. It will survive the reboot. -
Do the links in iox / admin console look right? Post a pic if you're not sure. I'd factory reset the on/off switch, and right click on it in iox and pick "Restore Device". If that works repeat with the keypad
-
I had it to and I think it updated from 1.2.2 on its own. Once I clicked the X on the side of the message, its not come back, even after closing and logging back in

The eisy currently comes with 2 environments.. iox = the ISY that we know and love pg3x = plugins = node servers = the way for additional integrations to use The pg3x environment is on iox under the plugins menu. It will launch a browser to the pg3x instance on your eisy. It also has the plugins store and allows you to install the individual plugins to pg3x and connect them to iox There's a 3rd environment on the way... eisy will host the web version of iox java client that is used currently. Parts of that were installed in the recent upgrade but it hasn't been launched yet

It's the switch that's responding inappropriately, so an unwanted link to repsond to the remote is likely there. Factory reset the switch and perform a restore device

Admin Console is not compatible with installed Iox.
paulbates replied to diesel94's topic in IoX Support
A possible shortcut is to pick "Admin Console (Cloud)" when you click on your ISY in the launcher. That will download the AC for your 5.9.1 firmware
