Is the thermostat indicating correctly? The little water drop icon on the top icon bar will turn from blue to orange when the stat is calling for humidity. Same for the water valve on the humidifier, is going on and off in sync with the light and values from the stat? There's also a setting for humidity on demand, do you get that behavior on both heat calls and humidity calls?

Variable substitution, I believe it works in NRs too: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/ISY-994i_Series:EMail_and_Networking_Substitution_Variables

Once you create a scene in the ISY, you turn the scene on and off, not the device. This includes iox programs.But if you turn any one of the devices on at the switch, they'll all go on and off

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Do you use DHCP to assign IP addresses to devices?

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.

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?

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... 🤪😂

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

Did you specifically state you'd like a return/replacement?

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

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

Weird. I made sure to look right before I posted, they must of just run back out

Sometimes forum members are looking for 2441TH Insteon Thermostats. They have them in stock for the moment.

I would submit a ticket asking how you can change the logfile size on eisy
