Communication Issues
I had low voltage lighting at my last house and had to filter every transformer to get them to work right. I used the old x10 xpf filters, but they are big.. The insteon ones look more workable in a j box

Communication Issues
Is it more likely the low voltage lights turn on ok, but not off? It's likely that the low voltage transformer is creating noise when it's turned on, interfering with the switch's operation. Is there a way to remove the transformer temporarily? if that's possible and test again to see if the program works. Insteon offers some filters on their sites that you can wire in to the outlet that services the lights

Removing the eISY & PLM from an Insteon scene
Depending how many, you delete all of the scenes, and then the switches from the ISY. Use the set button method to manually link them... that's the complete/sure way. FWIW I sold my house last summer with the same concern. I left the ISY... removing the more complex integrations. Left a google doc with the basics... brands, logins etc. I created a "house" gmail account that the portal, rainmachine, Venstar thermostats used for their online account; that was turned over with the doc as well.

Error when trying "Backup IOX"
I had a related kind of problem a few years back. Its a problem with the Insteon device with the address 27EC8F First, see if the device is working, configured properly, look at the options. Is it an iolinc? My similar issue was with an iolinc. Here is the thread

TinyMCE window appearing when accessing the Portal.
Tinymce is an editor tool kit that can be served up remotely. UDI is using this toolkit to deliver the portal. The message appears to have no effect on how the portal operates. I went in and edited my ISY contact info... was able to and it saved. I would say ignore it, unless a functional issue has been found

Voice commands (Alexa) and mobile GUI not working
I didn't read the entire thread, so if you haven't tried, in this order: Unplug / replug PLM. Restart eisy, check again Factory reset PLM, check again, if connected, restore modem

Web Server on Polisy
I hosted automation based pages on my 994i where I ran the Home Automation Dashboard, HAD. Here is a link to look at You can use terms from this link to search for more. It does mean opening a port on your router for external access... I decided a while ago to stop that across the board FWIW

Release Info
Hi... it's not clear on the order of next steps. Should I go head and upgrade the yolink plugin now, prior to the next PG3x release, even though the current PG3x release doesn't support python 3.11?

Getting Alexa to dim lights to 10%
10% may not be a good value for the fanlinc light switch. You need to validate that this setup can work and at what level before writing programs, Alexa integration, etc. Did you try using the UDM app or iox to manually apply different percentages (90%, then 80%, 70%, etc) and visually see what happens to the bulb?

remote sensor battery level?
Doesn't have to be voltage, just an indication that it's low. Thanks for looking, it's a nice-to-have but not critical

Getting Alexa to dim lights to 10%
The insteon switch might dim differently. What happens if you use udm or iox to dim the light at different levels? Then run the same kind of test on the scene. Can you post a pic of the scene.

remote sensor battery level?
A low priority, but is it possible to present the ecobee's remote sensor battery level with other sensor data?

Switch Status Not Reflected
Does it show right in AC/iox? If it's a switchlinc, it's older. Have you tried pulling the air gap switch, if it has one, wait 10 seconds and push in? If that doesn't work, factory reset it and right-click in it, pick restore device

isy to eisy migration issues
When I set up my eisy (new setup) I had the not connected problem. It took an unplug/replug (or 2) and then showed connected and that was the end of it I'd try that and see what happens with the green update icons. If still there try right clicking on one and pick "write updates to device"

Polisy Insteon devices extremely slow to respond suddenly
How old is the plm, from approximately what year? I'd start with unplugging/replugging. There are more detailed diagnostics to try later, but in my experience if that simple tests restores things to normal, then your plm is on it's way to dying

Eisy upgrade from ISY - Problems communicating and restoring On/Off Plugin Modules
FWIW I use a couple original lamplincs from my last house on my eisy that got moved with the Christmas decorations that they control. They look a little clunky and discolored by the sun, but keep working.

Eisy upgrade from ISY - Problems communicating and restoring On/Off Plugin Modules
For Insteon, the ISY/eisy is the "system of record" for all Insteon network data. That makes restores possible and is good, unless something happened to that data during the migration, and that could explain your difficulties. A quick way to test this theory is to pick a non-working module with very little programming / integration associated with it; delete it from the eisy and re-add it at the same location. Retest.

Having trouble adding Insteon hidden door sensor
The range extender cannot be added to the isy. A few other things to try. Move the range extender to other outlets there if any and retest Temporarily replace the range extender with a lamp or appliance module and retest. They also function as i2 range extenders

REST API on eisy
(2) Haven't tried it on the eisy, but give this thread a try. Looks like variable substitution might break it. I used HAD pages served from my ISY's web server and accessed them through the portal, but many years ago.
