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

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

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

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

Polisy is still supported AFAIK. I've seen posts in the recent upgrade threads that it took some people multiple boots. Here's one that is thorough and prescriptive on things to try

DHCP or RA (router advertisement), the address has to be provided from somewhere.

Matter is based on the IPV6 network stack. My understanding is that your internet router needs to provide local IPV6 addressing for Matter devices to work. Many ISPs and many home routers provide IPV6 addressing, IMO the lack of IPV6 is likely not the cause of problems we're seeing here. My router shows that my eisy is assigned a public IPV6 address which means it should have a local one as well. I've seen posts and comments that boarder routers can be IPV4 but not found concrete documentation on how that actually works.

Yes since you have an eisy you can replace the serial with USB version, just use the cable that comes with the new one and follow the replace PLM procedure. The procedure listed is for the ISY994 but you can follow it for eisy except for the Port A step, plug it in to where the current PLM is plugged into eisy The only caveat is if your current serial PLM is located remotely from the eisy, more than 15' and you have a custom serial cable... if "yes" to that special case, you'll need to get the serial version of the PLM. If not, it doesn't matter.

You're welcome. The information is all helpful. It's an older PLM from 2016 that's an older rev. It's somewhere between dying and dead. You'll need to get a new PLM ordered and follow the swap out procedure. The new rev PLMs have had component upgrades so ideally it will last longer

Looks like you have links. A few more questions Do you have Insteon device to device setups like a 3 way where the switches work on their own without the ISY? Do those things work? Can you turn on the event viewer, set it to level 3, pick a few devices and switch them from the device and then also control them from iox, and post the event viewer? A screen shot will be better

Sounds like a dying / dead PLM. Some questions How old is the PLM. There's a sticker with 4 numbers on the back of the PLM, what are they? Unplugging, waiting for 10 seconds and replugging the plm, any change? Restore plm now, any change In iox go to tools/diagnostics/PLM info, what does it say What does the PLM links table show?

YW. A follow up FWIW; like the i3 security and signal improvements, nowhere have I found or seen referenced exactly how an i3 device FW is upgraded in place. Unlike matter, Insteon devices are not internet devices, no IP stack... so how is it accomplished?

We left town on vacation on last Monday when this was announced. Did it this morning. I was on 13.2 of OS and 5.8.4 of iox and they both upgraded as expected. It did not take long, like 10 - 15 minutes. I'm wired, insteon for powerline. My plugins are Ecobee, Notification, Yolink, Ring and Timedata. All came up as expected. My "audit' of programs and manual device settings show that things are working.

I've not seen Insteon update the infamous "white paper", but online discussions have suggested that, while backwards compatible, i3 devices are supposed to have improved communications and security. However insteon is unfortunately mysterious on their own site about i3; you can read about each product and the director app references them as being incompatible with their old hub. IMO the 2413 PLM is still i2, so these improvements would be realized through i3 to i3 devices only, not eisy> 2413 > i3 devices. However, that assumes they didn't make changes to it and I don't have a way to know that. It seems there would be a versioning with marketing hooha and sell it as a feature. There isn't. To look at it qualitatively, I'm into my second year at a new house, new eisy and i3 devices, my observation is that the handful of any individual insteon false "ons" (no "all ons") have been on microdimmer modules and lamp modules, which I believe to be i2. Speaking of all ons, we proved here on the forums that the "all on" reponse has been removed from i3 devices,, they are immune. A suggestion is to go to the insteon forums and ask directly for insteon to answer, or use Insteon's sales site and use the pre-sales button to ask them directly.

When switching to eisy it's common to have to open some programs and press save to get them working. Sometimes these programs have a yellow icon next to them

Having used most insteon switches for many years, and i3 for over a year, I really like i3. Coms are great and they blend in visually versus stick out and drawing attention. A couple of gotchas that can be navigated around via awareness is that to implement them, each switch has 2 'nodes'. One is the traditional settings and one is advanced i3 paddles settings. This gotcha is that there are some of ones like 'disable wireless'. A few of mine came from the factory with that set The advanced node, also called flags, do not get updated when using restore device

I would download and reinstall Java, then reinstall the launcher

Can the installer tell you what brand/model the panel is? Can also go to the panel, see if you can find brand/model info on the cover, stickers or the main board behind the door. You could search the internet for its pdf manual and look through it. I had a panel at my last house and did that. It did have dry contacts capability. If your panel does have that ability, you might be able to talk your installer into enabling it, or maybe there's YouTubes out there describing how to do what you want. You could research and decide it you want to get your screwdriver out.... I ended up installing SimpliSafe, and it sent emails based on alarm status. I used gmail to make filters for those emails and update my ISY via IFTTT. A little clunky, but it worked

ADT's approach is to be the central controller to Home Automation and integrate a with google home and Amazon Alexa and zwave. ADT uses 4 different brands of panels, including their own brand. Knowing which one you have is part of the answer. If your panel has dry contacts capability, there's the possibility of connect it to an Insteon, zwave or zigbee io interface. Integrating with an alarm panel can be technical and specific to the panel you have. It would be best to talk to the alarm installer and ask them what's possible with a dry contacts controller.

If the client is present when "the scrape" is going on, tell them to expect random beeps from everywhere there is an Insteon device
