Yes, you'll need a parallel HW setup in both locations, ISY and PLM assuming you're using Insteon Yes. Use the new ISY Launcher on all computers you want to run the admin console on. When the launcher starts up, it presents the ISY Finder and will show the locally attached ISY. You can add other ISY to the list by pressing add and entering the address of the other ISY There are 2 choices for setting up access to the remote ISY and getting the address. Set up your router with remote access firewall rules on port 443 to allow the remote computer with admin console to access the ISY. You'll need to subscribe to a DYNDNS type service to get the address to your ISY. Use HTTPS: / port 443 only, do not use HTTP: / Port 80. ... or... Subscribe to the ISY Portal and you can access the ISY remotely through the portal with no firewall ports open. This is how I do it and prefer not to have open ports from my house to the internet Paul

https://www.insteon.com/where-to-buy/ Scroll down after America and Canada to see their world markets. They’ve sold across Europe for at least 5 years. But I digress from the point here; it’s time for the 10th annual “Insteon is going out of business” thread. Carry on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You should be able to acknowledge that prompt, like you put the sensor in linking mode, and ignore it. The ISY wants to remove links from it, but that's not possible now. You may get some error messages when the ISY tries to update the device (that doesn't exist) but eventually all traces of it should be gone. Paul

That's a special Managed Scene and part of the ISY, you can't delete it. I've put it in a folder with extra or unused devices Its related to the ISY's power management options and the ability to respond to a power companies "Demand Response" program... if they have one and if you have the ISY with ADR Zigbee board that can talk to your AMI smart power meter - if you have. Devices in that scene can be configures to switch off when your power company has a demand spike and the cost goes up Paul

Hey Drew Just to be sure, you know that there are specific entries in the admin console for this device, you don't use the 2 other "generic" install methods (start linking and new insteon device)? Paul
-
Yes. Sometimes this works perfectly and you want it. The example is a notification for a door sensor notification. Put a wait, and if the door closes before the wait completes, program stops and no notification Sometimes is not what you want. The way around this is to "Run" a another program under Then, that can have no "If" clause in the new program and it will run to completion. Paul

Agree on cao as relatively easy to integrate, but what is your upper temp when it’s full on, so thst can be compared to cao specs / limits? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did you reboot the computer after the re-install of java? If java_home wasn’t set right, the computer sometimes needs to be rebooted to set it for runtime. Paul Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Ray, welcome to the UDI Forums! You're sure your subscription is up to date Please re-post this in the mobilinc forum where Wes, the author/owner will see it and continue the conversation over there Paul

Too add to bumbershoot’s list, you can use the portal to remotely access the ISY via the admin console and dashboard, and access web pages hosted on the ISY including HAD (home automation dashboard) from the internet while not opening any router ports. Paul Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a two outlet out on my deck that I "borrow" sometimes for my laptop when I'm working out there and I have to remember to shut it back off after plugging in the normal load. I just looked it up in the manual, (pg 8 ) and tried on that 2663-222 v44, and it works: Disable Load Sensing Press & hold the Set button on OutletLinc for 3 seconds The OutletLinc Status LED will begin blinking (doesn't seem to matter which button) Double-tap the Set button on OutletLinc. The OutletLinc Status LED will stop blinking and turn on solid Test that Load Sensing has been disabled by turning the load on and off from its manual switch The load will not respond I had to be pretty quick on the draw with the double-tap. As soon as you get the initial beep from press & hold, double-tap quickly and right away Paul

Thanks for documenting this thoroughly. There is a How are you using your ISY section of the forum. Could you copy and recreate this post there too? It can definitely help others from your experience. Paul

Unable to Delete Insteon Leak Sensor and the Insteon Mini Remote
paulbates replied to ultrajones's topic in ISY994
This is an unusual problem, not sure what's been tried to address it? The basics: Admin console and Firmware are the same version? Java updated, cache cleared? If those don't work, look at the logs when delete is pressed and nothing happens. Paul -
Unable to Delete Insteon Leak Sensor and the Insteon Mini Remote
paulbates replied to ultrajones's topic in ISY994
I can delete devices, including wireless devices, by either: Single clicking on the device in the Main tab, and pressing delete, or Right clicking on the device, and picking delete off of the list If neither one of those works, something else is wrong. Paul -
The only way I've gotten gmail to work is by using "Allow Less Secure Apps", which I believe is mutually exclusive of 2 factor. To reduce personal exposure, I created a "house gmail account", for notifications. I also use it for any iot that needs an email account as credentials. Paul

Was the SD Card eliminated as the potential problem? The symptoms or chain of events do not rule that out (to me): Factory resetting the ISY, swapping the card and rebooting to see if you can get in? If yes restore a backup and see what happens. Paul
-
That was the first thing that came to mind for me. If you haven't tried, power down the ISY, remove and re-seat the SD card If that doesn't work replace it. Because I use a couple of RPis too, I keep some good quality ones around just in case. Paul
-
Glad you're working. You'll need to keep one there; buy a lamplinc or range extender (which is really a lamplinc with the outlet removed) when they are next on sale. Usually around holidays they'll have a sale. Paul

There's no reason it shouldn't. Python (polyglot) and Mono (Nodelink) are separate processes that can run at the same time. There is more than enough horsepower in Pis as well. I'm running nodelink with 4 devices on a Pi Model 2B... its taking a nap - typically 1% of CPU. I have an older pi that is a model B+ and I've tested my Nodelink setup on it too. It runs fine. Paul

Nice! Thanks io_guy! Paul
-
Criag's idea is important too. When I read the first post and saw "manually and automatically", I was thinking that meant the "start linking" from link management. That frequently works for me. Paul

One thing to know about the iolinc is that it hasn't changed over time... meaning its still single band, no insteon rf. Even if you have a good insteon RF mesh, this may be too far away for the ISY to see it. I had a problem with mine in my detached garage for that reason. Do you have a spare lamplinc / appliancelinc to plug into the back of the iolinc and try again? If no, can you move the iolinc to an outlet near the PLM or other working dualband device to see if that works? Paul

Wayne Glad it worked out. I get a lot of use out of the virtual circuit capability of Insteon, and the ISY makes it very easy to manage once you learn how Insteon works. Paul
-
Wayne I have a similar setup for my outside floods. Set up one scene in the ISY with all 4 switches. Make all of the switches controllers, so that that turning any one of them on/off turns all of the others on/off. You won't need the other scenes, just have one. Paul

Don Factory reset each device. Right click on each device in the Admin Console and pick restore device Paul
