Initially it would good to eliminate potential common network issues: Do the sites have the same ISP? What network router/firewall/security solutions are in place and common, if any? Are other clients or applications experiencing problems

Ms offers an android subsystem for w11.. you install it and it will run Android apps, which UDI does offer. This describes how to get it to run on w10 I've not used it, but in the same situation, I'd try it, can't hurt.

There is one in the production store, I've used it for several years though I use it on an older doorbell. Ring zwave devices are compatible with their app/api, which the current plugin uses, when you use their alarm system base station as the zwave host, not the zooz stick. You can find its support section on the forum and ask there about support for this device, what's possible etc. Chances are it will require you using their alarm system base station

Would some kind of push notification to a phone be acceptable? It could be done with the pushover app and using the priority level of the message. You can also change the sound that's used, or be silent or vibrate only... I use it for other reasons but have priority messages make sound notifications, messages of interest that vibrate only, and others (house reports) only show up in the queue but not vibrate or make noise and i review at my leisure The messages are delivered quickly, just like the ring doorbell app, and I've not experienced the delays that email and texts can introduce The app would be quiet, non-noticeable if not in use.

You can use it to factory reset the PLM. Pull the PLM out of the wall plug, hold the button as you plug it back in and keep holding until it beeps. Then do a restore modem This is symptomatic of an older PLM that's dying. How old is the PLM? There's a sticker on the back with 4 digits, while you have it unplugged. What are those digits?

How old is the PLM? Any electrical events like nearby lightening strike, brown / black outs? In iox, go to tools/diagnostics/PLM info. What does it say?

Yes.. factory reset then restore device. It also must be in linking mode first. The "running then" is normal for the typical battery monitoring programs

My experience with Insteon sensor, battery only devices, especially after long periods of use, is to factory reset them, right-click in iox and pick "restore device". Doesn't always work but easy to try and frequently fixes it

I guess I thought it was required, I always have had it. We need more info; was it working at some point and stopped? What happened?

If your android app is UDM (Universal Devices Mobile)... then yes, you need to renew your portal subscription

Also factory reset the one that won't add, sometimes that wakes them up

How old is your plm? If you're not sure, there's a sticker on the back with four digits, post those digits

Lake Michigan near Petoskey!

I get it... we spend a lot of our time camping around the Great Lakes, in fact we're out now 😉

Hot and cold temps are a factor... but my experience with those is the frequency of activation... the more they're used, the faster the batter dies. My experience with these and Insteon motion sensors is that when the batteries run low or dead they get flaky, it helps to factory reset them and right click on them in iox and pick restore device.

I would also pick a device that's in a scene with several other devices, right click and pick "restore device"

The new plm may have gotten 'confused' by the initial bad restore. I would try: Factory reset the PM: Unplug the plm from the wall, press and hold the set button while plugging it back in the wall, keep holding it until it beeps Unplug the ISY, wait about 10 seconds, plug back in, give it a couple minutes to fire up Try to restore the backup and then restore plm

A possibility is that the PLM was so far gone that when you backed up, you backed an empty and/or corrupted PLM data table.... and that's what was restored. Do you have a good backup from before the problems started? Restore that and then restore the PLM, retest

Is there an outlet that is between the buildings, or any electrical lines to something like a lamppost where an outlet could be added and a dualband device like a lamp module could be plugged in and put in a weatherproof box? Dual band lamp type modules will repeat the insteon traffic in both directions. If the power drop is close enough to both buildings it's plausible that it will work.

If you go to the programs tab, and then to the Summary sub-tab, take a look at Next Run Dates/Times for these programs and see if they make sense. When I first switched from my ISY to eisy, I had similar problems. I believe it was resolved by letting the eisy run for a couple of days and then it cleared up for good. Take a look here

I found your other post. The center button is used for linking. Take a look here https://support.insteon.com/support-knowledgebase/tag/2473SWH

Hi What are the devices / model numbers?

You'll need to configure Gmail to allow your home automation controller to send notifications. Enable App Passwords – you need to generate an App Password in your Google Account settings. This is a special password that allows third-party apps to send emails without requiring your main Gmail password

Most of the plugins have a trial period. You can try it, if it doesn't work the way you like, uninstall it

We're kinda getting to the fringes here problem solving wise... Did UDI have you replace the data cable from the eisy to the PLM when you upgraded? If a specific lead was broken, that possibly explains it.
