A couple of different approaches. 1) The directions assume the new PLM is connected to the ISY properly. To make sure do this: You should get something that looks like this... Is that the case? If no... you'll need to factory reset the PLM, check the connection cables, etc. Respond back if you get "connected" 2) Let's see what your PLM thinks it has... Do this, and post back what you get (you can use the snipping tool in Windows 10, and just paste into a post here) Paul

You could also write a program to query the node(s) but need to define the conditions where you know turning it off is the right thing to do

I believe it should, but consider it an experiment.

Welcome to the UDI forums! I think it will require some experimentation. My experience with the io linc is that needs a solid contact to work, unless you supply the voltage. The iolinc will allow an on/off only at a particular level, not provide variable real time data. The specs for the ezeye say 8 - 20 volts, and the iolinc provides 5. I tried something similar with slip over coils on a hot wire to detect when my furnace turned on... never got it to work. The iolincs indicator glowed based on the varying voltage from the hot. And it work perfectly with and X10 PSC01 Poweflash for a number of years I've used the iolinc with solid contacts just great: garage door, temp sensor and rain guage that provide hard contacts Paul

Hi You have to use the admin console and manually query the node, once the alarm condition has cleared. This is true for all of the nodes that are raised to on. Paul

You have to use the admin console to add devices to the ISY. If both ISYs are on the same physical subnet (example 192.168.1.x), then they both should show up in the finder / start.jnlp and be select-able. If the barn is on a separate subnet you can manually add it to the finder so you can choose between them Paul

This link gets me to HAD on my Android phone, but I replaced my 64 character key with 'x's. You'll need to replace the 'x's with your key. https://my.isy.io/isy/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/USER/WEB/INDEX.HTM Here is another angle to try from your phone: Login to the isy portal From Select Tool, Pick ISY Web access Pick settings from the presented page At the top is "Default UI", Pick "Home Automation Dashboard" - that will bring up HAD In the future, it will remember that you selected HAD, you only have to do that once Paul

I'm not sure its documented anywhere. I figured it out by taking the URL provided in the ISY Portal under Select Tool / ISY information, and then adding the path in the ISY. To save frustration typing it into your phone with a touch keyboard, you can copy that out, paste it in an email, reformat to match my example above, and then send it to your self. Open the email on your phone and click it and book mark it. Paul

How are you trying to access HAD? Use this template URL: https://my.isy.io/isy/<your key>/USER/WEB/watsonia.htm That's a custom page but you can also use index.htm, the default. Recently migrated from ios to a Samsung S10+, it works fine. Paul

I still use it for summary reports, and the very limited remote controlling I do. Its been great that HAD pages can be loaded remotely through the portal, so I don't have to open any router ports. Given that functionality I'm not looking for it to be enhanced; status quo is great Paul

All of them. The ISY programs scene links into the devices that work across devices, just like manual linking... standard insteon. The PLM and ISY could die, and the three ways will continue to function. This was important to me as I traveled a lot for my work and wanted my family to have working lighting always.

The ISY becomes the insteon network manager. You want to use the ISY. Direct linking works at the switches... but the ISY will not see that, or be able to control it with programs .... nixing the benefit of having a smart controller running your network. Paul

+ 1 for @DennisC's suggestion. I've used this for a number of years and its flexible and makes programs easy to write... and read / understand years after you wrote them Paul

Hi Tim and welcome to the UDI Forums! Yes. I've had my 994I for 5 years and have never used UPNP. Its a "left over" option from years ago. I give the ISY a static DHCP entry IP address from my router's reserved address function and have the ISY set for DHCP. I don't know that particular router, but the ISY will behave like other internet appliances Paul

No. Unless you have hundreds of devices and scenes already, that could be using up a lot of plm memory, the best way is to create multiple scenes with significant overlap. and use them in programs individually. Doing that won't hurt anything and will provide the instant performance insteon is known for All lights scene is the way to go Paul

I'd open a ticket. The isy considers those valid devices and is not finding their configurations. That's very likely what's causing the problems. I would open a ticket as something else could be wrong too. Paul

Dennis"s suggestion saves power as well by not transmitting the offs You have to get the ms and press it's set button to put it in linking mode. Find it in the admin console, click on it and the click options. There's a checkbox for 'send on commands only" Paul

The directions are here under remote admin console access. Step 4 is tricky, you need to be sure that you formatted the url in the ISY Finder or Launcher exactly right using your UUID with and without colons and it sounds to me like that is the problem. Please run through those steps again. For example, if your ISY's UUID is: 12:34:56:78:90:12, enter in the following: https://123456789012.admin.mobilinc.io/isy/12:34:56:78:90:12/desc Also, this was posted under ISY Portal, which is a separate product from the Mobilinc Portal. Assuming you mean / want Mobilinc Portal. Tagging @InsteonNut who is the product owner of Mobilinc Paul

Hi Let's clarify what you are trying to do: Access the admin console (remotely?) and manage your ISY? ..or.. Use mobilinc (remotely?) to control devices in your house? Paul

Insteon scenes are are activated by the switch only at the physical action of the switch and not by remotely activating the switch from the ISY (or other controller) You need to turn the scene on and off with your program Paul

This is true less often but sometimes and easy to try; Restore device on the main switch and see if that helps.

Sometimes, the devices that are linked are much further away from the ISY, signal wise, than the controlling swithclinc. If you have a spare plugin module to try in the area that could help. Sometimes the load can overwhelm marginal signals... low voltage transformers, fans, etc. However typically the problems with load are with turning it off only, not both on and off Paul

Interesting. My firm provides us the full version hiya for this purpose. It never caught a thing, but granted I don't get frequent unknowns on my phone. What I found out about for ios, that bugs me, is that the foreground app has to to be kept running in order for it to receive updates. I just switched to android and will try it again Paul

My new favorite - when calls get past noborobo Ring Me: "Hello?" Them: "Hello, before I start, I want to make sure. Can you hear me ok?" Me: "I can hear you" Them: "Our process requires a yes or no response" Me: "Thanks for calling! I've been trying to reach you about your vehicles extended warranty" (sometimes I just lead with this one)

+1 Yes - this. I have my own CM too. I love it when I call to get updates on an outage and their agents try to stuff in marketing in the end... "Do you know about our Xfinity wifi modem <whatever>" "Yes" "Don't you want one? Lot's of people in your area are getting one" "No. Lots of people in my area filed bankruptcy and defaulted on their mortgages 10 years ago. I did neither of those" You can guess where it went from there ? Paul
