You'll know if it's the siren... loud, continuous, penetrating high pitch... hard to take for very long. Mine is set as siren for leak sensors and I have to go unplug it soon after it starts.

and lIRC, the set button can be used to toggle between chime and siren

I do it by putting the devices in a scene including the siren module. In the scene, set the siren module to chime. It will respond faster in a scene as well, and no programs needed

You haven't mentioned how you did the replace... did you follow the Replace PLM procedure? Losing that much functionality suggests no. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:File_Menu#Restore_Modem_.28PLM.29

Side note.. It's sad about rainmachine not being around. I got one at my last house in 2017 and enhanced it with @io_guy's nodelink on my isy. The rainmachine was relatively easy to use and lots of detailed tweaking per zone to get it just right. Out of all the ha things I installed in that house, the rainmachine paid for the lot over time.. All of it. Our south east Michigan water is really expensive and it really curtailed the use of it.

There are a few potential trip wires If you can "hold your breath" till you get the new plm, I would do that and not reconnect the old isy... You have to reprogram all insteon devices (restore plm) to your old isy, and then turn around and do it again for the eisy when the new plm arrives When you get the new plm, my suggestion is to restore your eisy to the last eisy back before you had plm problems, so you didn't restore bad insteon data to the new plm

Not sure the difficulty in doing it, but Java and the AC would be easier for me if IoX/AC was resident in eisy and a secure remote term used to access it so its all one package. It could be part of the portal, I would even pay an additional fee on the portal for that ability

Sometimes for plugins what the ac panel shows, vs what's available in program statements under status or control are different. Did you try to write a program and see what's available there? I bring it up as the ring plug-in behaves this way.

So... reread... You'll want to do it this way New Program - [ID 0045][Parent 0001] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Repeat Every 1 hour Set 'ERV' On Wait 20 minutes Set 'ERV' off And set it so it runs at startup

See post below

Here's a screen shot of all of the values it provides https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/43016-if-day-of-month-x/?do=findComment&comment=379456

If you get the timedata plugin, you can do this by writing a program that has 2 Ifs If month = April And day = 26 Then ..... Look for it in the plug-in store. I use it and it works well. (I'm not at home to access my eisy.. My sample program isn't exact but close)

He means use the thread he referenced above for this discussion, instead of posting here.

I would submit a ticket with very specific info: From policy uuid & registered plugin To policy uuid

Glad it worked

I would try reinstalling it

Since it programs can be accessed in UDM and working... to me it points to the java installation on the computer. Do you have a lot of programs and variables. This is an older recommendation for t something that has the appearances of a memory problem Java runtime memory (when Admin Console is very slow to respond) - If the admin console is slow to respond, it is likely you need to increase the amount of memory allocated to the Java runtime (JRE). - Open the Java Control Panel, select Java tab, press View button, then add or modify the Runtime Parameter -Xmx to the following: o -Xmx512m - Press Ok to close the window, then Press Apply to save the changes

More information is needed on "not working". Do you still see it in the device view on admin console? Is there a red x or green icon next to it? What happens when you try to control it manually, any errors?

There's a procedure to replace a plm... And it takes some time. On the admin console screen under fine is "replace plm"

I'm assuming yes, but not a policy user. Maybe a policy user can respond here.

If your immediate goal is notifications and everything is working currently, I would focus on that and not complicate it with a hardware upgrade. You can get a notification when a sensor opens and closes... it's easy to do with the UDM app natively. My suggestion is to focus on function... ask questions about the notifications and other things you want to accomplish. Nothing wrong with an eisy upgrade, but its extra work on top of what you want to accomplish

The pg3x plugins rely on short and long polling via message queues to communicate with devices/external services. The pg3x elk log looks like normal "respiration" of that activity to me.

A couple of things: When following @Brian H's advice... did you cut power to the outletlinc, either turning the breaker off or carefully uninstalling and uncapping the hot and reconnecting? I've seen this behavior before, where an Insteon device is malfunctioning; it continues to respond to old programmed links, but can no longer be reconfigured... red Xs, beeping when attempting to make changes. In my experience the device can continued to be used "as is" but no new changes can be accepted to the device itself. Since outletlincs are typically responders, potentially you continue using it even though scene changes appear to fail in iox. In particular this happened where I used a large, but in spec, load ... landscape light transformer. The landscape lighting transformer's 6' cord was plugged directly into the outletlinc and line noise from it was too much. I had other outletlincs powering larger, in spec, transformers that worked but there was +20' of extension cord in between. I was able to add an extension cord and that helped. Can you describe the christmas tree load you are controlling, what type of lights, and are you sure it's within the specs of the outletlinc (check the manual)?

What is the device, how old is it? Did you get errors when deleting, factory resetting and re adding to the isy?

By scenes working, do you mean The device activates other insteon devices?... Or.. The device is activated by scenes from the isy? Or both? Posting the event viewer output will help. There are others here better at interpreting that better than me... But without seeing it, this can't progress Turn in the event viewer, set to level three and capture: Single click Double click (fast on) What you do when you say "scenes work" Post that here This thread has revealed that you've tried the normal diagnostics. If the device is older, it's possible that it's failed. I've had older insteon devices that would function as programmed, but then "lose it" when needing to reprogram them, like a new plm or adding a scene member.
