It seems coincidental that the light goes off exactly 5 seconds after the change to 100%. I take it one or more programs is causing this. The group is Alexa Lights, are there Alexa routines involved? I'd start with starting the event viewer (highest level) sometime earlier and hope it runs during this time. Other ideas are to simplify by temporarily and systematically by one at a time disabling programs or its participation in alexa and see if it stops

I set up Alexa through ecobee. All went as expected/remembered in getting amazon/ecobee/isy connected When I looked for Samsung, it needs a smarthings account as a proxy. I stopped there. @sjenkins .. I'm willing to test what you have: 👆 those are all I'm looking for, if HDMI source is part of it (assuming its part of remote). I've carried remotes from older Samsungs forward, and the generic remotes from Walmart always doing the basics.. if that translates to the API, I'd be good with a "that's all this plugin does, nothing else" Appreciate you giving it try to see what's possible.

Ahh... Oh, that got both my questions. Thank you so much!

Updating the profile did change the iox content on recommended self check. That and your notes are good.. I'd like to know if a detector should be checked even if I do it manually. To follow up on the first post, when I go to create and iox program to check that info, its not available in the drop down in the "If" under control.. these are the current options:

Ok, I found it, "reinstall here". I'll take a look in iox

Thanks. I stumbled around in the plugin store.. I can see how to reinstall all plugins, but not just yolink. I don't want to do that. I'll be ok waiting for your update with everything else. Thanks for the quick response. I can help with testing if needed

Ok.. and glad to help check. Let me know. Thanks

You'll need to restart the plugin if you've installed the devices after setting up the hub and connecting it to your eisy. The devices will discover and load then (if that's the case)

Question / comment 1: There aren't a lot of options for the If for smoke / smoke co like battery, is it possible to get those? A comment is that the temp/humidity sensor if statements are under Status, and the Smoke/Smoke CO under control. Question 2. When looking at iox, there is a field for "self check" that appears as "1'. I would l Iike to create notifications on failed selfcheck through the notification plugin as well. Provided that self check appears as part of making an "if", I'd like to know how to interpret. Guessing "1" is a pass as I self checked them all with the app, and "0" would be a fail?

If you haven't, pick a few devices, right click on them one at a time and pick "restore device".

That's what I would do. The plm losing it's pep could mean it's dying. Trying to fix insteon on the old plm will turn into charging your tail. if you can, do this Set up eisy with USB plm Pick an isy back up from before you started having problems if possible. Otherwise the plm problems may move to the eisy Restore the backup and restore plm. Plan on this part thougha while as the insteon problems get addressed here Deal with wireless devices and problems Back it up Review fix programs back up again

If you're going to upgrade to eisy directly, right now, and not continue using your isy, then I would get the USB version If you'll keep using your isy for some period prior to upgrading to eisy, you'll have to have the serial model. Because of the effort to migrate to a new plm, I would do it in a way that you only do it one time

The isy has a serial port, and the eisy has USB. If you get the serial now, they make a cable as a converter... I would really suggest that and not starting over again when you get an eisy

If you have an isy 994, then yes

Yep. I've been using the ecobee plugin for several months and don't have any problems with it

Unfortunately you are the victim of bad timing. On of the underlying pg3x support libraries changed (MQTT) and caused new installs of of plugins to break. I see MQTT error messages in your error log above. UDI will work to restore it tomorrow, read this thread

You can also simply right click and "copy" the entire program and then rename it and "remove" the if and replace it with what you want

Right, understood Mark. I'm wondering if installing the drive makes it a different volume, etc, so that that HA vm script wouldn't work (?) Paul

Related question: I haven't added home assistant, and have no immediate plans to, but .. If I do this ssd upgrade process to my stock eisy, and at some point want to execute the script to add an HA VM to my eisy, would that script be exactly the same on the HW modified eisy?

I would submit a ticket as this is something other users haven't run in to. I have to believe UDI will help you navigate this.

It was a close competition. We wanted to go up one screen size from the prior TV. Costco had 2 competitive TVs in that screen dimension, one Samsung and one LG. The TV I sold with my house was an LG and I told my wife that LG was a better UI, including that pointing cursor remote. But side by side, the picture of the Samsung was better and I would have regretted that.. the picture is really good. While LG also had pages of boiler plate to accept, they didn't have an HA solution being pressed on me.. setup was on the TV and much more simple

Thanks Javi, I will think about that. I went through the progression of Harmony IR remotes and ended up with the hub at my last house, but never integrated it, it allowed me to have "1 remote to rule them all". Today it's one Samsung TV in the living room... with a MI Box (androidTV).. which needs to be manually switched on with its google IR remote. (I did something to the TV's settings to cause the MI box to switch off when switching away from it as input). I also have a palm sized keyboard remote to enter searches into one of the apps that won't accept voice input (Cinema 2) Your solution would resolve having an Alexa spoken Turn on MI Box Turn on TV Select HDMI2 select the desired app and launch it Irtach is a good alternative to consider, thanks

I would certainly pay for that capability and test on my tv if needed. In my last house, before I had an ISY I had homeseer and there was a Samsung plugin for it that worked well. I'm guessing Alexa spokens -> iox program -> plugin -> TV .... would work as well as Alexa splokens -> (smartthings?) -> TV. .. except the first would avoid smart things, if it proves to be problematic, tbd I did go through the plugin store and the AV capabilities are there, but not for Samsung.

@Michel Kohanim... yep, similar, On/Off, choose HDMI source. We have an MI Box which is also android tv I use google as my cloud/photo storage.. hadn't thought of that access to pictures on the tv, will see if that's possible... thanks!

I bought a Samsung tv later last year. Just to set it up, I had to roll through a lot of terms boiler plate and accept. Then it was insistent that I use smart things to complete the setup; I didn't want to but went there anyway... to find the app had multiple pages of boilerplate to even install it. After getting frustrated with the amount of time it was taking and the amount of PII they wanted to collect.. I stopped and googled and found there was a way on the TV to setup without smartthings, which i then deleted from my device. In prior years it would be the TV listening advertising on SSDP and a compatible digital assistant or home automation controller discovering that. I'm going to try when I'm back in town end of next week... I don't really want to do this but there's a sizable pile of WAF lurking here 😉
