Scene on a schedule?
See the Programs, right next to Main.. click that one and it will let you create the program iox is the new name for the software you are seeing, the admin console.

Scene on a schedule?
Have you logged into the iox java console, or did you do everything in the UD Mobile app? The programs tab in the iox java console is right next to the network tab, which is where all of your devices are. That's where you'll create that program

Scene on a schedule?
Hi and welcome to the forums! Yes you can. The scene you created is considered a 'virtual circuit'... meaning use it, and it only to control the lights together and not the devices themselves 1- For dusk - dawn automation, you create an iox program that looks like this New Program - [ID 005E][Parent 0001] If From Sunrise To Sunset (same day) Then Set 'Lighting Indoor / Virtual Circuits - No Program / Living Room / Lamps' Off Else Set 'Lighting Indoor / Virtual Circuits - No Program / Living Room / Lamps' On This is how it looks in iox when you do it, substituting your scene for my sample above The Set ... lamps on is my scene for 2 lamps, turn the Scene on and off, not the individual devices. The scene icon looks like this in iox 2- Use the same scene in UD mobile... Turn the Scene on and off, not the individul devices. Hope this answers it

Unable to run start.jnlp after upgrading java
Yeh I forgot to mention that the old iox desktop icon(s) need to be deleted before downloading start.jnlp so it doesn't get confusing. Sounds like you got it working so its all good!

Unable to run start.jnlp after upgrading java
You'll want to down load a new start.jnlp https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp That should get you in business

Switches - No Response
The approach by members here has been to isolate problems. If the Insteon switch itself isn't functioning as a switch at the switch, I don't see how changing the ISY SW version will help. Again, I didn't reread everything but the final isolation test would be to unplug the suspected plm, pull the tabs and retry.

Switches - No Response
Have you had a major power event like a lightening strike or brown outs? I did a quick read... did you follow @Brian H's suggestion to pull the tab on the bottom of the switches, wait 10 seconds, push back in?

Switches - No Response
Slightly different circumstances, but I've had Insteon switches get set to a zero on level and it behaves exactly like this
-
Switches - No Response
A possibility is that the "On" level of the switches somehow got set to zero. This could be symptomatic of a dying PLM. Do you have an older backup from before the problem popped up? Restoring a recent backup may put the problem back. It's possible that the switches' on level is zero but Alexa and other methods are sending a different on-level, if that makes sense

New PC, admin.jnlp not working
If you installed Java, then visit this link https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp You should not need to edit any of the files to make it work. You can also try clearing the Java cache, not that should not be necessary for a new Java install

How/Where do I pay for the extended version?
Go to pg3x and go to the production store, scroll down to the notification plug-in, click that and follow the directions If you've not been to pg3x before, you can go into iox, click the plug-in menu and pick the bottom option to open pg3x. (You'll need to be on you local network in your house, not remote through the portal)

AT&T texting alternative for wife
To keep it simple, would you consider email > email? My guess is that most mobile providers are headed down the path of no more email > text One way would be to set up a separate email account just for this purpose and make sure it can send priority notifications on the phone. That way, the eisy notifications won't get lost in her regular emails, and as a new account just for this purpose shouldn't see spam. The ios email client allows for an manages multiple mailboxes within the app.

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?
-
EISY Randomly turns stuff on and more...
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?
