Hi tommyrob, welcome to the UDI forums! The program below is for a door sensor, but the concept is the same Battery Doorwall Heartbeat - [ID 0059][Parent 0019] If 'Zystem / Battery Alerts / Doorwall Sensor-Heartbeat' is switched On Then Wait 25 hours Resource 'Pushover Doorwall Sensor Battery Low' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Since the heartbeat comes approximately every 24 hours, sometime before 25 hours it should restart the program. If it doesn't, the program completes and does whatever you want, send an email, etc Paul

Things have been in a state of flux for a few years, I doubt much relief is on the horizon. Realities for ISY users: If you have Insteon powerline control (switchlincs, keypads, lamp, iolinc, etc), those work and will be available and working on the ISY for years to come. I have 50+, their functional and work. I don't have the time, money or reason to swap out a perfectly working system. For items where the API is in flux, like the MS; the old one does the job as an MS. I'm going to stock a few extra (menards is closing the old ones out at discount) We're exposed on the things like sirens, new MS and analogue sensors. I think if you need those kinds of things, a zwave card and aeotec is in your future Node servers will open a big doorway, via developers or in the portal itself. The beauty of the ISY is integration, and playing on the strengths of each technology. Paul

Cool! Its always harder than we want. As a future note, sometimes but not always, you can change the subnet that the router uses to what your current one is, so the isy and everything else don't even see it happen Paul

Change the ISY's gateway to 192.168.0.1 Change the ISY's DNS to: 192.168.0.1 Your new router uses the 192.168.0.y subnet, nothing with 192.168.1.y is getting out

Interesting that its back to 192.168.1.168 in the error message. If you have a good backup, there is this. Paul

There are 2 things that appear in the finder. One is ISYs it finds by pinging your network. The other is manual entries. I believe what you're seeing this the manual entry created based on the suggestion a number of posts back. Paul

If the router supports IP address assignment by MAC address, give that a try and restart both MAC=00:21:b9:02:2c:44 and IP=192.168.0.161 If all 3 entries in the ISY got changed from 192.168.1.y to 192.168.0.y it should have found it Paul

Can you ping 192.168.0.161 from your windows system? Does the new router provide a table of connected clients with IPs, usually you can find the ISY there Paul

Assuming you kept 192.168.0.161 as the address (and nothing else randomly picked up that address) add this to the finder http://192.168.0.161/desc

The router may have the ISY's mac address at the old IP stuck in ARP. Unplug them both for ~2 minutes. Bring the router up first, wait 2 more minutes, then plug in ISY. I think you are very close Paul

ok, the pictures suggest that changing the 3rd octet from 1 to 0 should make it work. There was no route to the internet for 192.168.1.y Paul

Ok, I see what Larry is saying, this the other problem Where you have 192.168.x.y : Right now, x=1 In the ISY, change x=0 Paul

Yeh there may be multiple things going on. The DNS relay was one them for sure. I'm also assuming that turning on relay provides the local DNS server at the router's of 192.168.1.1... is that the router's address? Go to a window computer, open a command window and type in ipconfig... check the gateway and dns addresses provided.. the ISY's should be the same Paul

Depending on the role of dchp you may have to reboot both. I didn't read the other thread, so not sure. It can't hurt. Router first, then ISY Paul

Yes, do that. Your symptoms are network connectivity with no DNS, DNS Relay causes the router to translate whatever your WAN DNS address is (like 8.8.8.8 ) to a local NAT address, like 192.168.1.1 Since its not checked, and the graphic in the previous post show the ISY is configured to need DNS relay, you'll need to. Paul

Let's start by seeing if its ISY wide, or just the portal. Assuming you have an NTP server configured; open the admin console, go to the configuration tab and click "Synchronize Now" under Clock. Try the "Test" button under Email/Groups Did those work? Yes-Its portal specific, I would submit a ticket to UDI for help No- Something in the new router is not letting the ISY "dial out" Paul

Hi Tim There is a known bad interaction between wireless sensors like motion sensors, ISY programs, and what you are describing... the vernacular is an "ALL ON". Start with this and see if some of the problems go away. Take a look at this thread and specifically things to look at in your programs that respond to motion sensors Paul

Renato Wanted to double check, you did a "restore device" after the factory reset? Not restoring after the reset would give those symptoms Paul

I would recommend you try the factory reset suggested earlier. I have older togglincs that "lose it" after a few years of continuous use, and then behave normally once reset. It only takes a few minutes to try and costs nothing if it doesn't work Paul

Hi Renato Can you confirm: You have an intermittent problem with one switch The scene turns the light on, but the admin console shows it as off Also, did it always work correctly in the past and this is a new observed behavior? If that's right, I would suggest Leave the switch configured as normal in the ISY Go to the switch and factory reset it From the admin console, 'right click' on the switch and pick "Restore device" Give that a try for a few days and see if it fixes it Paul

Flagging @InsteonNut, the mobilinc author, to see if he has suggestions Paul

It was right to suspect the PLM, but since everything is working in the admin console, that rules the PLM out as a problem. Paul

Hi David It doesn't say for sure in your write up, does the device status show correctly in the admin console? If you turn devices on and off the admin console updates appropriately? Paul

I would try rebuilding a scene. Pick one of the devices in a scene. Right-click on it, and pick Restore Device. Retry the scene afterwards If that doesn't work, you might have to rebuild the scenes, unfotunately Paul

Hi- there are a few things, try these ideas Unplug and replug the PLM, retry Try "Restore Modem" from the file menu in the admin console (you may have to visit wireless devices like motion sensors and put them in linking mode) If those don't work, how old is the PLM, this is the symptom of a dead PLM (> 2 years)?
