There has to be a way to solve this!
I'm not sure the programming effort involved to achieve this solution, but the previous incarnation of the Venstar plugin under nodelink put the runtimes in a separate "main node" (not sure of the right term), so when you clicked it in the device tree, runtimes were there, and controls & sensors were in another "main node" which navigated around this issue.

Just received ZMatter dongle 09/25/2024 Version is Beta??????
The big manufacturers (Google, Apple, Samsung, Amazon) that are working on creating the matter spec have it working to some degree, but smaller integrators (Homeseer, Insteon, UDI and Home Assistant) are working on their non-beta matter offering of their respective products and across the big manufacturers' product. At this time you are an early adopter of matter. There are numerous posts here on that topic

Sunset Before/After doesn't seem to work
This post rang a bell to when I set my eisy up about a year ago. The problem seemed to go away after leaving the program sit for a day or 2 and the problem has never returned.

Bad SD card - ISY 994
An option, if your programming is really simple, is to replace the isy with an insteon hub. While the isy is flexible and has more possibilities, the insteon hub is relatively easy use and less expensive. You insteon devices should work with it

Link Confusion
Right click on Deck Lights and pick "Restore Device". Compare and test again An additional method is to factory reset Deck Lights, that will clear all links, and then "Restore Device".

Leak sensor fails to report Heartbeat Batt good, wet and dry work
It's possible a link got lost in the shuffle. Put the the sensor in linking mode, right click on it in iox and pick restore device, restest

Bad SD card - ISY 994
It's a long shot, but sometimes the contacts of the card are corroded. Rub over them with an eraser and the wipe with alcohol. It might work and is easy to try, and it can't make things worse.

Lost communication
Search google with "XPF X10", and also try "XPNR X10" The XPF and XPNR are wire in filters for x10 but can work in some cases with Insteon. I used the XPNR for line noise from noisy electronic low voltage lighting transformers that affected insteon. The XPF is rated for 20amps but is kinda big. Take a look at these. I can't guarantee results in your case, but there are limited things to try.

Email to text no longer working on ATT
It does... plugin = polyglot pg3. You posted under eisy so I assume you have that, if so you already have polyglot installed. There is a learning curve for sure Another option: if you have the UD portal, use the UDM mobile app and notifications can be sent to it relatively easily, probably not a big leap from your att texting, making some mods to programs. You won't need polyglot. This may be the place to start.

Email to text no longer working on ATT
The PG3 notification plugin has a free version, and also a pay for which I use and recommend. I use the notification plugin to send notifications to the pushover app, it's $5 one time, and it organizes my notifications in to different folders I definr. It keeps my text app open for family / friends communication and I can look at pushover notifications when I need to.

PLM Died, need to restore
Wireless devices do use the plm, it has both powerline and rf radios
-
Starting over with a failed system
I'd use the powerstrip as a control for your rebuild. Plug everything in there to test, even if you have to remove something you got working to make room. We can get to the phase bridging once you confirm the devices do talk to the plm

No way to detect/trigger on scene events in IoX?
Thanks Mike So it sounds like this can be replicated in iox programs in a scene of Insteon devices: scene1 contains 3 switches in this example If Status switch 1 is (on or >0) Or Status switch 2 is (on or >0) Or Status switch 3 is (on or >0) Then $scene1 = "1" ... then programs function off of $scene1, or other actions. And a converse version of the program to turn it off using "and"s and setting $scene1=0 I see why it is that way, and don't know how else it could be approximated

No trial for this plug-in?
To support @Ross's answer, its a great plugin that works reliably and provides usable date data that is otherwise hard to get. Very helpful for particular programs

Starting over with a failed system
Yes, but you want to be sure it shows your PLM connected on the diagnostics screen

Starting over with a failed system
You don't have a ton of devices so starting over is do-able. Give this a read first and use it as a guide I'd print out yourf programs you have for a reference. One at a time, delete each device from the ISY, making a list of them as you go so none are forgotten. WRITE DOWN THE INSTEON ADDRESS FOR EACH BEFORE YOU DELETE - 11.22.33 format Reset the PLM Pick delete Modem (PLM) from the File menu and complete prompts Reset the PLM - Un plug, wait 5 seconds, replug while holding the set button until it beeps Unplug the PLM wait 5 seconds and plug in Unplug and replug the eisy, log back in to iox Go to Tools/Diagnostics/PLM info status, look for it to say connected Repeat 3 and 4 above again, even a few times, until it says connected Do not try to add the PLM as a device to your eisy, iox does that on its own One at a time add non-battery devices Go to each non-battery device, unplug, replug while holding the set button For switches, pull out the air gap, wait 5 seconds, then press in and hold In both of the above cases, Wait for the beep Pick New Insteon Device from the linking menu be sure to pick "remove all existing links" One at a time add battery devices Go to each battery device, press and hold the set button until it beeps In both of the above cases, Wait for the beep Pick Link a sensor from the linking menu be sure to pick "remove all existing links" If you get stuck on one, move on to the next. Test everything out. You will have to update programs

Starting over with a failed system
Did you try my suggestion of linking a few devices with the linking menu?

PLM Died, need to restore
Does the iox screen show progress in restoring devices, or is it still/stuck? Do you have any battery wireless devices like sensors: Leak sensors, motion sensors, door sensors or Insteon remotes? Wireless devices each, individually have to be put into linking mode to complete the restore

i3 Keypad load button reassignment?
I believe factory resetting it will make the top button control the load, if it's one of the others out of the box. I've not seen iox release notes mentioning it's been addressed.
-
Starting over with a failed system
Another avenue is to use the linking menu to put iox into linking mode. Then press the set button on the appliancelinc until it beeps. Go to iox and finish the linking process. If this affects multiple devices, you can put iox into linking mode and press set on multiple devices before completing linking in iox

Has Your Alexa Gone Mute?
The yolink hub 2 offers speaking phrases if you have yolink devices. I've thought about it as mine is located in the main living area. Not sure if there is an audio out though for larger scale projects Michel has an audio plug-in for this purpose. You'd need some hardware but worth a look.

A Number of Insteon Devices State Changes no Longer Being "Seen" Correctly by EISY
Per @Techmancomments, and mine above... replugging has bought you the time to order a new one and install... NOW is a really good time to make a backup
