Schedule just stopped working and now seems haunted
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

Yolink Local API
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

network settings greyed out
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.

network settings greyed out
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.

EISY Randomly turns stuff on and more...
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

EISY Randomly turns stuff on and more...
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"

Yolink Local API
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.

Insteon Trade Up Promotion 3/2025
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.

Insteon Trade Up Promotion 3/2025
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.

Insteon Trade Up Promotion 3/2025
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.

I3 Switch Setting - Relay at Full On?
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?

Can’t edit schedule
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
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
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.
-
Can’t edit schedule
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?

Repeating a certain program every 30 minutes
Ok, you'll need 2 programs <Program 1> Computer Cabinet once an hour If <no statement> Then Repeat every 1 hour Run If Program Computer cabinet <Program 2> Computer Cabinet <your current program> Notes: Set the first program to run on start up Disable program 2 so it does not run automatically What this will do is the the ISY will run program 1 when its started Program 1 will run once an hour Program one will call program 2 Program 2 is disabled so it will only run when program 1 calls it
-
Repeating a certain program every 30 minutes
Add a Repeat statement as the first statement under then. One of the options is "Repeat Every" set that to 30 minutes. The statements under Repeat will indent Note that when the conditions of the If are no longer true, it will stop. In this program, it should bounce back and forth between then and else... which I think is your intent

PLM Status remains / Not Connected
I had to reboot my new eisy several times to get it recognized. Then it was fine
-
Why did I have to recreate my scene?
Another possibility is that the PLM is going bad. How old is it? There's a sticker on it with 4 numbers that documents the mfg dates, you can post those.

Web based AC
Not sure about it being eisy only since there was one recent big software update that included all of it for both eisy and policy It will be web pages that provide the functionality that the admin console currently does. We have to use our imaginations as to what it will look like. I'm fairly confident it will not be a remote terminal session to a Java version of the admin console. While the core ISY functionality as an home automation server will likely remain java, the web service that provides the functionality won't be built on java... likely built on what pg3x uses.

Eisy offline, will not connect after firmware update

Firmware Update OVER AND OVER
Some eisys are having problems upgrading but UDI is quick to help fix. Submit a ticket and UDI will get you running https://www.universal-devices.com/my-tickets/

Why did I have to recreate my scene?
Would this be the first time you tried that particular combo, it may have been "broken" in migration? In my experience with insteon & plms on several different HA systems, links can break: From migrations from one controller/plm to another Sometimes powerline fluctuations and/or age of device can cause a controller to forget some of its scene programming. For me it was mostly keypads, but it happened with other devices too

Eagle-200 not seeing variables in "Program" tab
To reference the right variable, here's how to interpret the 2 parameters after /rest/vars/set/ above: the first is whether the variable is an integer or state variable: 1=integer, 2=state the second is the number identification of the variable. You find this by looking in iox at variables and on the left side of the list for the number in front of the row of the variable you want to affect. In the example provided above, /rest/vars/set/1/60/.... the 1 means it's an integer variable and 60 means is the variable identification 60 in the iox integer variable list. The ${sys.node....... is the z wave node identifier.
