  1. Is there an outlet that is between the buildings, or any electrical lines to something like a lamppost where an outlet could be added and a dualband device like a lamp module could be plugged in and put in a weatherproof box? Dual band lamp type modules will repeat the insteon traffic in both directions. If the power drop is close enough to both buildings it's plausible that it will work.
  2. If you go to the programs tab, and then to the Summary sub-tab, take a look at Next Run Dates/Times for these programs and see if they make sense. When I first switched from my ISY to eisy, I had similar problems. I believe it was resolved by letting the eisy run for a couple of days and then it cleared up for good. Take a look here
  3. I found your other post. The center button is used for linking. Take a look here https://support.insteon.com/support-knowledgebase/tag/2473SWH
  4. Hi What are the devices / model numbers?
  5. My experience with keypads is that they can get flaky after a few years of use. A simple thing to eliminate a few possibilities is to Factory reset the keypad In iox, right click on the keypad ("on"button) and pick restore device Try that and report back. If that doesn't work there are more detailed things to do

    You'll need to configure Gmail to allow your home automation controller to send notifications. Enable App Passwords – you need to generate an App Password in your Google Account settings. This is a special password that allows third-party apps to send emails without requiring your main Gmail password
  7. Most of the plugins have a trial period. You can try it, if it doesn't work the way you like, uninstall it
  8. We're kinda getting to the fringes here problem solving wise... Did UDI have you replace the data cable from the eisy to the PLM when you upgraded? If a specific lead was broken, that possibly explains it.
  9. Ok. You mention above you replaced the PLM... did this problem start about that time?
  10. Ok, you're welcome.. did that solve it?
  11. Ok. Did you unplug the PLM from the wall, wait 10 seconds, and plug it back in and retest as listed in my first response? What happened? If that doesn't help, it looks like it might be some kind of new power-line noise; something new in your house that would have been added around the time the problem appeared. The way to start isolating that is to get a plugin x10 module, and temporarily plug it in to the same outlet as the PLM and repeat trying to turn it on with eisy / UDM. What happens?
  12. The PLM/eisy saw the device at House Code B, Unit Code 3 switch on. IThe question is, what programs, if any, do you have that act on B3? The same is true a few lines up for House Code N, Unit code 11. In a nutshell, your PLM/eisy is seeing x10 traffic so not the issue That takes it to what programming do you have for X10 devices, especially those 2 HC/UC combinations?
  13. I have yolink too and it is a great compliment to insteon on a UDI system. I don't have the contact sensor but the devices I have all function as advertised.
  14. While I don't get errors, I don't get any response getting past the button on the login screen. I can click Portal Login or Go to my ISY.... nothing happens at all EDIT: I eventually get a 429 error, too many retries.. meaning my spastic pressing of the login button is getting rejected 🤪
  15. If the conditions of the program changes to false, the program will stop executing in its tracks during the Wait. Since you turn off pool/waterfall, that kills the program in the first then statement What you need to do is have 2 programs: Reset Waterfall - If Time is 2:00:00AM And 'Outside / Pool Waterfall' Status is On Then Run Program Reset Waterfall 2 Then Reset Waterfall 2 If (No condition) Then Set 'Outside / Pool Waterfall 3way' Off Wait 10 seconds Set 'Outside / Pool Waterfall 3way' On
  16. In addition to @Guy Lavoie suggestion, go to tools/diagnostics event viewer. Trigger events with your remotes, the ISY should be seeing them
  17. Since X10 is working outside of eisy/plm, here are a couple of easy steps to eliminate the PLM: In iox, go to tools / diagnostics / PLM info. What does it say? Unplug, wait 10 seconds, and replug in the PLM. Retest If that second step works, we should talk more about it here as it might be symptomatic of a failing PLM
  18. Insteon wireless heartbeats are sent daily. Your results of weeks between heartbeats say that the contact sensors are in a box that is shielding their rf, and/or They are far away from the PLM or nearest dual band device Do you have an insteon lamp or on/off module you could temporarily plug between where the sensors are and the house powerline to test this theory?
  19. Didn't all the 994is have basic x10 capability? I think the module added the ability for extended x10 codes naming nodes versus HC/UC Depending on what features you're using, it could work with potentially some basic programming changes. Plug in the backup unit and see how it would work for you programming wise as well as test to see if perfection returns
  20. What you could do (psuedo code) program 1 If sump pump activated Then: Send notification Run program 2 Program 2 (No if) Then Disable program 1 Wait 1 hour Enable program 1
  21. There are options that include timers and/or state variables. What's needed is: How do you define how often you do (or don't) want to know? How is the program triggered? I use a yolink plug in a similar way to monitor my dryer so it turns on the room vent fan when the dryer is used, based on configuring a yolink alarm state when the current draw of the dryer is sensed... Is that what you're doing? Can you post your program if you have one?
  22. There's a similar post in the past specifically for the Kasa pluggin Asking @Geddy to move this to the Kasa pluggin area so that @Jimbo.Automates will see it
  23. Log in and take a look. I have no developer access, just looked and I can "Load Profile" on all of my plugins

    There's always a few simple things to try with Insteon that don't take that much time to try and see if they work. In iox try right clicking on the sensor for the garage door open close (assuming an iolinc) and click Restore Device
  25. Guessing "no". The forums indicate that they haven't logged in since August 14, 2022.
