  1. A couple of other things related to the iolinc: If the io linc is old, it could be failing. Unhook the light sensor and try completing the circuit several times to see if you get consistent operation directly The io linc is single band, powerline signals only. Something could have been added to you electrical system that is intermittently blocking the signal to the plm. Try temporarily plugging a dual band plug in device like a lamplimc behind the iolinc and see if things improve
  2. You could, but I would simply look at the original and rebuild it from scratch on eisy... It will take less time
  3. What does the plm links look like? I would pick a few wired in and plug in modules and individually right-click on them and pick "restore device" and retest devices. Did that help?
  4. PLM Links and iox links. Can you post those 2?. They should compare identically, or close to it. I can see only 2 links in the picture and one of the 000s. That's not good. Also, what does PLM Info/status say when you look at it? Where this could be going is that the last back-up you had, backed up a corrupted link table from a failing PLM. Do you have other, older backups?
  5. Under Tools/Diagnostics there are options to see PLM links and ISY links. Can you capture and post both of those?
  6. Start iox and turn on the event viewer level 3... And try to be in view of it. Repeat you tests while watching the event viewer.. how many entries show up per switch action... First time vs against presses
  7. All great questions that don't have answers yet. The link you provided is all that can be known at this time. When they're certain its good to roll out, we'll get a post with all the answers.
  8. Need some clarity, your ultimate goal is to upgrade the 994 to eisy and sunset the 994? If yes: Don't upgrade or make changes to the 994i Set up the eisy There are 2 PLM variants: USB version can go ~10' Serial can go ~50'... + UDI offers a serial > usb adapter I would get a new USB PLM for the eisy Set up eisy with the new PLM How many programs do you have and how big are they? If not a lot of programs and not that big, re-enter them into the eisy as you migrate devices, one room or one function at a time Come up with a plan to move one room or function of Insteon devices at a time to eisy Delete a room or group/function of IInsteon devices from the 994 Add them to the eisy and verify Add related scenes and programs Give it time to verify everything works Go to the next room or function Not clear on the wiring need of the ezio, but you should be able to get a 50' CAT 5 or greater cable to work
  9. You can try Start Linking under Link Management and put it into linking mode (Press and hold Dim and Bright at the same time for 10 seconds)
  10. The journey that got you to this point is not clear. What steps did you take to get to that point?
  11. First, do you have Lutron's serial command spec, is publicly available, not proprietary? If yes, it will require some digging, but it's plausible. There are products that can accept REST calls and communicate serially. eISY Network Resources can generate REST calls: iox program statement > Network Resource > Your network > Network/Serial controller > Homeworks. Here are some Network/Serial controllers to look at: Lantronix XPort or UDS: These are industrial serial-to-Ethernet device servers that allow serial devices to connect to a network and be controlled via IP. Lantronix also offers some models with built-in web interfaces. USR-TCP232: A series of low-cost serial-to-Ethernet converters, with REST API support. Moxa NPort: A widely-used serial-to-Ethernet gateway with various models that support different protocols, including HTTP/REST API for controlling serial devices over the network. Raspberry Pi. Petty sure it has a serial UART on it. There'll be tons of examples to search for but you're likely looking a python coding to receive the eisy's Network Resource call and turn it into RS232 commands Also, figuring out the RS-232 pin out will be required for any solution. It's going to be a bit of technical exercise
  12. Has any one tried with this with insteon i3 paddles? I only have those as switches which have not flickered, but 2 micro dimmer modules in scenes with the i3s that occasionally do. It's not all the time but I can recreate it sometimes getting the modules to flicker when generating insteon traffic. It usually takes actions that are not normal, eg turning the same switch on/off several times back to back. It's all the same brand/model of recessed led lights. They're all older, ~5 years old. If the comment level gets high enough, I'll try swapping the problem locations with newer recessed leds. I believe the i3s are triacs too which probably makes this a long shot, but alternatives to the are being discussed here.
  13. The hub question should be posted here To @Guy Lavoie's point, Amazon echo is supported through the UDI portal, not the 994 specifically. Even though the 994 is at end of life, Amazon echo through the portal should work
  14. I use http://<ISY local ip address>:3000 ( not https: ) as the pg3x server is located there. It will give security warnings but I move through them as it's a local only connection. Try that in a browser window. I don't know why iox sent you where it did.
  15. paulbates replied to BamBamF16's topic in IoX Support
    Not sure exactly what you're looking to do. You can right click on the scene name and see the options. You can also "click and drag" devices in to scenes as well as scene members.
  16. Can you post the scene in question?
  17. The portal can support multiple devices. Add the eisy and maintain both as long as you need to.
  18. I've had Samsung and LG tvs.. I think you have to enable something on the tv to allow it to use local network discovery, something in the tv's menu
  19. Take this as something to try. I've been giving ChatGPT more of a chance on technical solutions. It took a couple of iterations, but I asked it specifically about LG TVs and ISY network resources. Here's what it said. Based on my use of network resources, it looks close to try easily: Name: Turn Off LG TV Protocol: HTTP URL: http://192.168.x.x:3000/ir/remote_control Method: POST Body: {"type":"KEY_POWER"} I'll be curious how close it got. I think LG TVs are toggle, meaning the "off" command will also be the "on" command. This was the whole answer where it was close:
  20. Yes, that's discussed in the posts.
  21. Take a look at these threads where the plugin author explains what's going on and is working on fixes that are available in the beta as things get resolved. Have you tried the beta version described there?
  22. Try picking a device that's not working and perform a restore device, retest
  23. It's hard to know as @Techman points out. When you launch iox from the launcher, do you pick the "Cloud" option from the finder? This would refresh iox itself if something happened to it due to adding dev packages. If that doesn't work, do the "generic" clear cache, reinstall java and iox.
  24. Do you think the iox console was popping up on that second monitor all along. Not 100% sure from the posts if freezing means you could see it, but it wouldn't respond... or you never saw it.
  25. How old is the plm? Insteon devices, especially the plm can be affected, damaged by power blips and age doesn't help. There's a sticker on the back with 4 digits, what are those digits?
