Program does not run
A suggestion is to put all 3 switches in a scene as controllers. The switches will handle the required action for you and there will be not delay, and no program will be needed.

New YoLink Smart Mousetrap(ISY Alarms?)
The node/plug-in environment, pg3x is the platform on which the yolink plug-in runs on. I believe that's policy/eisy only As stated above, some yolink devices say Ifttt compatible, which says it's plausible to run it on the isy. I would message yolink tech support and ask specifically about this device, Ifttt and how does Ifttt work with it. I have found them timely and meaningful in their help

New YoLink Smart Mousetrap(ISY Alarms?)
I use yolink on eISY with the plugin. The integration is really good. I know, all things considered, it's a bad time to suggest upgrading to an eisy, but the integration is there. I haven't seen the mousetrap yet, but other Yolink products integrate with Alexa google home. Some of their products claim IFTTT integration, and I assume that the Yolink hub is the integration point for that. Yolink's support is very good, you could contact them.

Multiple EISY
Another option in yosmart / yolink. One of their features is reliable, long range (1/4 mile) communications. There's a great, well supported plugin for eisy. I use yolink temp/humid sensors in my fridges/freezers and also control venting for our master bath. I use a plug in module to monitor our dryer and turn on the fan when its on. I also use their smoke/co sensors tied to virtualarm.com monitoring. The also have switches and outlets, depending on what you're controlling as @Guy Lavoie asked Yolink is neither expensive or difficult to set up, maintain. It complements an ISY/Insteon where it does things like this better, yet still run by iox programs on the same eisy

Multiple EISY
There's some things to think about with multiple PLMs and eISYs: Insteon devices need to be on one or the other, but not both eISYs The 2 PLMs won't be aware of each other, the chance of traffic collisions will go up If you have Home Automation functions that will cross the 2 eISYs, it's a bit technical to get them to talk. The way I know how to do it is Network Resources that set a variable in the other eISY. Possible, but debugging can get tricky. It might be possible to solve the Insteon communications problems directly. Can you describe the buildings at a high level, how big, what they're made of and how far apart? I had a detached garage at my last house and I had a 2 band device like an appliance module plugged in on the house side of the garage that was in signal range of switchlincs in the house... I need that because I had iolincs in the garage that were single band. Maybe the same would work here.

Has a Date Been Set?
A long time friend and mentor have me this phrase: Price, Quality, Time.... Pick 2. My ~ 10 years with UDI days it the first 2, and not many (non self inducted) problems as a result.

Revert to polisy from EISY: how to do?
Do you use DHCP to assign IP addresses to devices?
-
Revert to polisy from EISY: how to do?
You can manually enter a url that incudes the IP address of the policy into the ISY finder. Can you give that a try? Is there a chance that the IP address of the policy and eisy are identical? Depending how you use DHCP, eg router assigned IP to a MAC address, that could be one explanation.

Insteon Trigger no longer triggers
There are a few moving parts and I think it's down to one of these: The switch is old and losing functionality.. how old is the switch? turn on the event viewer level 3 and double tap the switch, does iox have a record of that? The mechanical part of the switch could have failed due to frequent, vigorous double tapping. If yes to the above, something happened in iox. Does the program turn green when the double tap occurs? It would help to post the program If none of the above, probably something happened between eisy and homeseer and its plugin. Has it ever worked with eisy?

Battery Percentage Update Rate
I forget and leave it open. The main thing I've seen, with both ISY and eisy, on different computers at 2 houses is: clicking the mouse causes the old windows to "blong" sound, with no visual change in the interface. Other times some things will work and some won't... then I remember... 🤪😂
-
Battery Percentage Update Rate
The Admin Console/iox is not designed to be left running 24x7. It's the java app on the computer that freezes, not the ISY/eisy. Different users have different experiences with how long the AC/iox runs before freezing.

i3 Keypads
I haven't used the i3 keypad, but having used the PS-01, some surprising behavioral tweaks are under the flags 'node' associated with each device. The out-of-the-box flags can vary and odd sometimes. Out of my ~20 PS-01s, a number of them were set to 'Disable RF'(???). I also had to factory reset a couple initially because of behavioral problems, but have been fine since. Note that my experience is that ,'Restore Device' does not put flags back on the device.

Insteon Trigger no longer triggers
Let's start with the basics: Where is your PLM plugged in, to the EISY? Sometimes Insteon devices get "confused" after long periods (years) of use. If your PLM is connected to the EISY, Factory reset the 2477D Pull out the tab, wait a few seconds Press in all the way and hold until it beeps Restore old settings from EISY: Right click on the device Pick "Restore device" Retest If that doesn't help, then the PLM might be in question

Issues after installing Tesla powerwall 3
It was a number of years ago, but I had a keypad that had random key behaviors: individual keys, the middle 4 of an 8 key keypad flashing on and off.. sometimes a random beep. It didn't happen very often and I seemed to be the only one that noticed.

Restore PLM
Did you try 'restore device' to a few of the problem devices? If you look at tools/diagnostics/plm links, how many links are there in the list?
-
Restore PLM
A first step would be to pick a problematic device, right click and then restore device. Repeat on several more problematic devices. How did that go? It sounds like your PLM is old... How old? There's a white sticker on the back with 4 numbers, what are they? Old PLMs can slowly die and need replacing. Restores can seem like they're helping, but if the PLM is old, it's just a matter of time and you should plan on replacing it before things get worse.

ISY994 to eISY migration with ~100 zwave devices
Did you specifically state you'd like a return/replacement?
-
Insteon Education
Assuming you're migrating from a previous ISY99xx controller, you'll back up what you have and restore on eisy... switches, scenes and programs. I moved houses and started with a new eisy, but it's fundamentally what you're used to

Insteon i3 switch support?
I've only used the i3 paddle and outlets; they are both smaller switch packages than previous insteon switches and I've had an easier time installing

can't telnet into eISY
I would submit a ticket asking how you can change the logfile size on eisy

can't telnet into eISY
SSH client in. It should be in the wiki

Insteon Switch
What is the specific application? Does the switch simply turn the fan on and off? An Insteon on/off switch will work. I have an eisy and control 2 bathroom fans with a PS1 Insteon switches

Cleanly removing nodelink from ISY
That's how I did it when I removed nodelink

can't telnet into eISY
The post you're quoting is from the ISY29/99 = a very long time ago. It travels completely unencrypted. The eisy doesn't support telnet

EISY and Ring
I'd suggest going into the plug-in and logging back into ring.
