  1. Is the same devices though, or a a number of them in multiple scenes and the ones that don't fire?
  2. I take back my last post, and stick by my first one. I see all of your posts and all of the details there on the Insteon forum now. Their forum software is difficult to navigate older posts that you've read sometimes: This first link is where you posted test details: https://forum.insteon.com/forum/main-category/insteon-products/wire-in-devices/micro-modules/micro-on-off/118507-please-disable-all-on-in-fw-for-2443-222-modules https://forum.insteon.com/forum/main-category/main-forum/118508-please-disable-the-all-on-in-fw-for-the-2443-222-micro-module-and-2450-iolinc https://forum.insteon.com/forum/main-category/main-forum/118513-insteon-please-fix-this-devices-id-ed-that-still-have-all-on-in-fw
  3. I had a V572 in my last house and had coax from the attic antenna to the basement equipment shelf. It did work pretty well to catch the Hawkeye/eagleeye triggering (whichever MS was for outdoors)
  4. This is a screenshot was last night when I posted here, I wasn't able to upload a screenshot at the time. I was able to open the posts and see details. And their forum does stop showing you posts in the main view once you've read them... that is the case <strikeout> But..... this morning I don't see the posts </strikeout> *** See my next post, your posts are all still there, its just hard to navigate their forum software in some cases ***
  5. The insteon forum operates differently based on not showing a user posts that they've already seen. I just looked and your posts are all there now with details
  6. One way is to go to each device, factory reset it, and then "restore device" from the admin console, one at a time. I know that can be difficult for some devices, but do the ones you can If I was uncertain as to the devices' link table content, I would do that. (I still have some original lamplics in use for indoor Christmas lights)
  7. Do you have a portal account? If yes, my suggestion is to try the UDM app and see what you think. I still use the console a lot, but I'm implementing a lot too *** having said that, not sure if the portal supports the 99i
  8. I forgot to mention that I use the UDM app also for the basic things I need like adding new insteon devices and basic edits. It works well on the iPad
  9. I do most of my admin console work on an iPad Air Gen 5. I use the secure real vnc app as a remote console, about $3.50 / month
  10. Thanks, I just purchased and installed it
  11. This gave me "flashbacks" to isy_data 🤪😂 Thanks!
  12. That's a good suggestion. When I looked in the store, and went to get hub to see an image of what iox would present, it was sunrise and sunset data only. Sounds like you're saying it also presents month / day info like io_guy's ISY_Data node server used to?
  13. I have programs that report out daily data for a sensor. They calculate and give monthly highs and lows. What I need to do is reset the monthly value variables at the end of the first day of the month. It's been a while since I've done this. I found a post that reminded me that I used io_guy's ISY data plugin at my last house.. but I now don't have/want a pi to run nodelink. From what I can see, I'll have to create program that runs at the start of the day and assign day of the month to a variable from system data If time = 12:00:01am then day_of_month = system data / day of month from the drop down I'll have a second program do what I want If time = 11:59:50pm and day_of_month = 1 then (Reset the variables) Is there a way to do it directly with an if in one program, I feel like I'm forgetting something?
  14. The technology provided by UDI, the company this forum represents, can do those things. There is an ecobee plugin for the eisy controller. It provides numerous data points and programmable controls for the ecobee family of thermostats. I use simple point and click ISY programs to automate it. I have it and have 3 important ecobee integrations for my home programmed with it, so my point is you might want to consider something like the UDI eisy controller and spend more time automating and less time integrating.
  15. +1 I'm a recent yolink convert as well, two 8003 temp humid sensors controlling indoor vent fans For isy programs I had to adjust to their way of thinking in terms of how often they update, but they work consistently once I did. I'm planning my next project for smoke/CO sensors backed with virtualarm monitoring.
  16. Yes.. it's how Insteon is designed.. the ISY programs the links into the switches, then the switches talk to each other and the ISY's role is passive.
  17. That's done through the scene and it has to be edited.. I don't know of another way
  18. In addition to providing Insteon programming, the ISY manages Insteon configuration including scene management If you haven't removed the old switch, open the scene you are talking about under Main in the admin console. Right-click on the old switches entry in the scene and pick delete. (There will probably be an error due to the old switch not responding, just move through the errors) You can then right click on the old switch in the ISY and pick delete Install and add the new switch to the ISY Under main, click on the switch and drag it to the scene name and drop it. Make sure to click "controller" in the window that appears and then complete That should do it.
  19. So do the following: Box 1 Upper right black/white wire pair. White to white bundle Black to Insteon switches red lead, cap together Upper middle red - cap off separately black to black bundle White to white bundle Insteon switch Red to upper right black as noted above Black to black bundle White to white bundle Turn on breaker and test... do the lights come on? If yes, add the switch to ISY Configure as dimmer if its an i3 and you want a dimmer Box 2 Cap red from box separately on its own cap red from Insteon switch separately on its own Black to Insteon switch black White to Insteon switch white turn on breaker, does switch show it has power, leds light up? If yes add switch to isy make it a dimmer if i3 and needed create a scene and put both switches in, setting them each as controller Test everything from both sides Push wires in, mount switch, etc,

    Insteon makes a noise filter that the UPS could be plugged into so you can keep everything there. It is bulky like PLM so maybe a short extension cable too... or I use a one outlet to three outlets horizontal adapters to fit my PLM in with lamp module
  21. paulbates replied to dakall's topic in IoX Support
    If it happens again, I would unplug the UPS temporarily, and unplug/replug the PLM... and wait to see if it reoccurs. UPS's can be a powerline noise problem and affect Insteon devices.
  22. paulbates replied to dakall's topic in IoX Support
    Seems odd that a 6 month old PLM would need this. Have there been any eletrical system anomalies; brown outs, low voltage, etc? Is the PLM plugged in electrically near something like a washer/dryer, window air conditioner etc.. something that uses a lot of power?
  23. It appears that light fixture is coming into the first picture, down on the top right with the black and white wire. The left box is the j box that inteon switch controlling the load with its red wire will go.. red on the switch connecting to the black on the upper right. But.... I'm confused too, why black is connected to white on left wire nut. You're sure about that? The Insteon switch in the other box will not be happy, and likely not under warranty, if the black and white are backwards.
  24. paulbates replied to dakall's topic in IoX Support
    Before giving the PLM an "all clear", how old is it. To complete your list of things, I would unplug it, wait 10 seconds and replug in, re-run your tests.
  25. To add to techmans comment, It's much more responsive when you put the sensor in the scene with lights. If you haven't already, change the settings so it's "on only", no off messages- so it cuts down on transmits. Also extend the amount of time it waits to retransmit, make it close to the time you have it stay on... this also cuts down on transmits and extends battery life. To get it to turn off, I have the scene turn the lights on, and than an ISY program "wait" x minutes and turn it back off. I sold my last house recently with the MS1s turning on the driveway lights, they were at least 5 years old. One down side of adding existing MSs to a scene is that you'll have to get to them and press the set button to get it to work.
