  1. What you're describing is normal: Swtich 1: controls light and it's red lead connects to the actual load line to the physical light Switch 2: Joined to Switch 1 with a scene. Both switches control the light properly at the switch Remotely controlling Switch 1 from iox works Remotely controlling Switch 2 changes it's status, but the light doesn't come on Remotely controlling the scene should work as you expect. This is Insteon working as designed. Once you crate an N-way relationship with multiple switches in a scene, you've created a virtual circuit. You control the scene from iox and not the individual switch. In your iox programs' set commands, Set scene on/off, not the switch.
  2. Wait would probably be easier. I'd use a variable $chime_active in this example If motion sensed and $chime_active = 0 then $chime_active = 1 (allow the 10 minute wait to complete) Set chime on (or however you make one chime) wait 2 seconds Set chime on wait 2 seconds Set chime on wait 10 minutes $chime_active = 0
  3. That is a strange one. I have 2 on/off that don't exhibit that problem, I would notice. But they are v.49 Probably a bit of a long shot, but I'd suggest firing up iox and starting the event viewer and set it to level 3, as close to the problem time as practical, e.g. when going to bed. Look at that in the morning
  4. If you have the portal, you can log in, click tools > information > ISY Information. There's a a specific url to your ISY listed there.
  5. Ok. Try taking to the appropriate echo and say "Alexa, discover devices"
  6. You don't have to link each one if you added it through portal and your account is linked. Are you up to date with your portal subscription?
  7. I did the same after Nodelink stopped being developed. Nodelink actually had that humidex feature/capability built in for Venstar years ago and it worked great.
  8. 1- This is typically done with smart thermostat, I've done that with the venstar colortouch and ecobee. 2- The alternative is to get a zwave on/off outlet or on/of plug-in module and plug 12 volt ac plug-in transformer (hardware store) to it, and wire that to the humidifier's water control actuator. Based on humidity levels from openweathermap, turn the zwave outlet/module on or off. I'd be careful with that as the sole source of data, I'd want a zwave humidity sensor (assuming that it exists) to confirm the actual building humidity.. have some iox watchdog programs to not let it humidity levels get "outside the box'
  9. You want to be in linking mode first, so that the PLM/ISY catches the Insteon traffic from the device(s) being put into linking mode.
  10. Try right clicking it and pick "restore device". Per @Guy Lavoie's comment, if it's a wireless device, put it in linking mode first
  11. On Windows 10, it remembers for me. I don't have this issue I backup up based on material changes that I make to programs, configuration or notification settings. I would not backup unless a change has been made
  12. It's discussed here: https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/44142-nest-plugin-marked-inactive/
  13. Since I've had eisy, this has behaved differently at different times and versions. Now, it sometimes can take 20 - 30 seconds to come up.... others right away.
  14. It seems within the last couple of updates, one of the 2 advertisements was dropped, probably to eliminate the confusion of having 2
  15. It's port 3000 for eisy / pg3 http://"eisy IP address":3000 You'll want to continue to access the pg2 on whatever you were running that on, on its ip address, not the eisy's.. rpi?
  16. To add to @DennisC's great answer, UDI offers consulting help. It would be a good idea to buy that and let them remote in and evaluate and propose an higher level migration plan for you. Scroll to the bottom of this page. https://www.universal-devices.com/store/#top-row
  17. Glad to hear you're working The capacitors can be repaired if you're good with a soldering iron and working on electronics. If not (I'm not), I would dispose of it
  18. Can you post 10 - 20 log entries, especially ones that repeat?
  19. Hard to say for sure, but relatively easy to eliminate as the culprit.
  20. It's possible. I believe the admin console steps through the list of devices and won't avoid sensors unless that battery option is set. It's easy to try and see if it will complete.
  21. I have had great experience with couplers. I had a signallinc from Insteon at my last house. Now that they don't make them any longer, I built my own from parts I found on mouser from a recommendation from Insteon for my new house . The parts were like $15 delivered. They have to go into your electric panel, so you have to be comfortable with that or find an electrician to do it for you.' If you're interested I can dig up the order from mouser
  22. Do you have battery devices like motion or door sensors? Those have to be individually put in set mode for their turn. There's a little battery icon with a +/-on the top of the admin console you can click. It will avoid all battery devices so powerline devices finish. Then you unclick it and do each battery device one at a time
  23. To add to @Techman's comments... outdated firmware means that it's i1, not i2 Insteon protocol and it wont support more modern Insteon devices, or not as well as they should be.
  24. It's probably worth a factory reset it. Press the set button in and hold it till it beeps. Then go back and put the eisy in linking mode, and the go tap the set button quickly till it beeps.
  25. For X10, enter the house code and unit code, eg C14. For Insteon, use the "Start Linking" option under the linking menu, and then press the set button. Do it order, or even one at a time if all over the house to keep it straight... or have a helper with a smartphone or walkie talkie to help keep it straight
