I've had good luck with the remote sensor that came with my ecobee. Keeps the temps better balanced without resorting to baffles or individual vent control. The 'occupied' feature had the halo effect of it turning off the suite lights off after 30 mins if left on

This is a bit of a long shot, but easy to try; unplug the PLM for 10 seconds and plug back in. If that doesn't do it, post a screen shot of the link table showing the device and indicating which device it is

That's not the log he's asking for. You need to get the log from pg3x and the plugin. Go to the same web page you showed above ... and click log. Set the log level to debug. Recreate the steps for this and other device. Download the log package from the same web page and PM to panda88

Did you factory reset it? Try that and a restore device

With ~50 devices, I've never approached the link limit. One way performance by switching insteon on from iox is already very good. I do notice performance lag with 2 way ..when having a switch turn on an iox program that sends an insteon command back out to turn other things on.... That can be several seconds and noticeable. It's no clear to me how much that performance could be improved via plm based on current device"architecture". To me the weak link is the 19.2kb serial connection from eisy to the plm. I think the insteon white paper mentions that wireless band devices can do 38.4kb so increasing kb beyond that I don't think would be material. In other places the white paper mentions devices communicate at around 2kb - bursting at 14kb (but not what conditions qualify for bursting). So maybe a second of that *could* be shaved off on a wireless device, one hop away uping plm serial to 38.4kb.(?) 2-3 hop insteon wireless bridging will negatively impact that performance. A long way of saying it's not clear what could be done to 2 way iox performance via a new plm talking to devices that "are what they are".

Using Alexa requires an active portal subscription. If the subscription expires, this would happen. I don't think a warning is given, I keep track with a calendar entry It could be something else, but I'd start there

Yes. I have a lamp post photo cell connected to one to turn my premise lights on at dusk.. Based on light level. Same could be done with a motion sensor.

Keeping on the program track, you could try putting a notification at the end to see if the program is finishing regardless of what the device does.

Have you tried moving the statements to another program and calling that program from the one you posted? It would not take much to test the hypothesis

You're certain that the program conditions are not changing to false during the 5 minutes? Without seeing the program it sounds very much like that

Pretty sure the 3000 port was either eisy, pg3 or both. I think earlier PG was 8080 Having said that, its not clear to me that eisy will talk to both at the same time (?)

Not only yours ;). My wife (and I) very much approves of Insteon dimmers. In addition to automation duties, I added some i3 paddles this year to replace some 24 year old Lutron dimmers that were at end-of-life.... plus the halo of Alexa voice control. They all match, look good and work great for dimmer control across circuits.

Another thing is that devices can be dragged into scenes, but scenes cannot be dragged into other scenes. However, you can have almost unlimited scenes (in most installations) and can create many similar ones to create the lighting effects you want for different switches, programs, etc

You can add the center switch to the existing scene...but be sure to click the box to make it a controller. If you didn't do that, remove it from the scene and re-add it as a controller

You need to know how to log when you have an plugin issue and developer asks you to send them a log. What's important to know about that is: you go to the dashboard in pg3x go into the individual plugin itself click details Click log Click "debug" from the list Do the steps that recreate the error you are seeing Click download log package Send that zip file in a message to the developer There's a new wrinkle in the Session and Session Verbose options. I'm going to not select those unless instructed to by the developer.

I used iox during the update window, and just started it again now... it's working as expected

Pick one or two key scene participants, right click on them in iox and pick "restore device"

The alarm does work as expected and quickly! Thanks @Panda88!

Having done several controller software jumps on top of insteon, I suggest breaking the migration into functions or rooms. Start simple and migrate a handful of devices in one room that are fairly simple. Get those back to their original functionality on eisy with programs, scenes, etc. Then pick another room/function. Move at a pace that lets you learn while not frustrating the other occupants. As you learn, you can convert more and go faster. Do not try a "big bang" conversion

I had one where this was an every 1 - 2 year liturgy 🤪

Did you try factory resetting the one plugged by the plm?

Can you post one of the programs? Ideally, you'd add an if clause to see if the light is on . Here's a sample idea If Time is xx:xx AND Status my light is 0% Then Turn on the light Unfortunately it would have to be one light at a time using this method

Sure. Include the UUID of your new unit in the ticket text

Do not buy another license. Submit a ticket and it will get fixed.

I'll get the log file to you in a pm. I did think about changing the range to force it to report more frequently like I did with the 8003 Temp/Humid sensors. The "out of the box" alarm range for the plug is as wide as it goes. It's also a little confusing as it reports kWh, but the control for the alarm says it's in watts. I admittedly took a gamble seeing if this would work for this application and it's looking like no. FWIW it does function similarly to Insteon an on off module if wanting to use it that way
