Because that puts them nearer to the 2011 time frame, that is most likely it. I lost 2 installed from that time as well, but it was several years ago. Interesting that both of mine we out around the same time too Paul

Hey Stan A little more tweaking based on that change, adding parens. If ( From 5:00:00PM To 11:59:00PM (same day) Or From 5:00:00AM To 7:00:00AM (same day) ) And ( Status 'Dining Room Slider-Opened' is On ) And ( Status 'Family Room Slider-Opened' is On Or Status 'Basement French Door-Opened' is On ) Then Set Scene 'Rear 4-Way' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Let's story board what this change does, the program only runs when: Its bewteen the two schedules Dinning room slider is open One of the Family Room Slider or the Basement French door is opened Paul

Hi Stan I would start by using parens to contain the "or". Start by picking "or()...." at the bottom right of the screen, and us the "Move up" button to move the open paren to the top. This will mean one of these 2 has to be true, which is what I think you mean time wise. If ( From 5:00:00PM To 11:59:00PM (same day) or From 5:00:00AM To 7:00:00AM (same day) ) And Status 'Dining Room Slider-Opened' is On And Status 'Family Room Slider-Opened' is On And Status 'Basement French Door-Opened' is On Then Set Scene 'Rear 4-Way' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') A note: The "and"s in the remaining lines of the program all have to be true for the program to work... do you mean any of them - use "or", or all of them - use "and" Paul

Did you try a "Factory Reset" of the switches, and use "Restore Device" by right-clicking on them in the admin console? Factory Reset: 1) Pull Set button out (creating an Air Gap) 2) Wait 10 Seconds 3) Push Set Button in and Hold it in ~ 10 secondsKeypadLinc will (Beep) 4) Release the Set button Paul

If it exhibits the same behavior after trying Teken's suggestion. try a factory reset and Restore device from the admin console. I had this happen a few weeks ago and that fixed it. Paul

Depending what your requirement is, you might be able to use a standard bulb and sneak a micro module with 'sense' in the fixture. When it senses the light on or off it could switch states locally and then update the PLM... which in turn could activate a scene, run ISY programs, etc. This is an idea only, I don't know how big the fixture is or how available the wiring to the lights is, eg wire nuts that could be accessed to add the micro module Paul

When you're writing the "Then" clause in your program, pick "Insteon" from the Action drop down. All of the Insteon devices and scenes will be listed. Pick the one you want and turn it on or off Paul

Hi Tom,. and welcome to the forums! Its related to order of precedence. All you need to do is use the "Add and" function in the Admin console, lower right of the program window. If From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) and ( Status 'Computer Room Door' is On Or Status 'Front Door' is On ) Paul

I think Verizon has changed their mail relaying in the last few days. Someone else reported similar symptoms the other day http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/20859-notification-mail-settings/?hl=verizon Paul

Hi John- The signalinc is a passive coupler, and does not active insteon messaging components. Its unlikely its failed or the culprit. Its most likely line noise, possibly caused by the load its self is the culprit. What is the load on the togglinc? Are there electronics, low voltage transformers or things like furnace motors on the circuit near where the togglinc is? Paul

You can create individual scenes and program for each key that detect each key being turned on, Here's how to do it Create one ISY Scene for each key, include the fan and the Key as a controller. That way, the key will turn the fan on instantly And, pressing the lit key a second time will turn the fan back off, if turned on by mistake Create 1 program for each key, here is the pattern If "keypad key B" is switched on --- Pick the key then Wait 2 minutes --- Change the wait in each program to match the key set scene "keypad key b scene" off --- Turns the fan and the key back off I would have a timer program for the A on/off key too, like several hours... you probably do not mean for it to run continuosly You can put the programs all in a folder to keep it organized Paul

Oberkc is correct You can update your current ISY, I went from Zwave to Zigbee ZS for smart meter. UDI had to do a one time admin change on the back end. I would submit a ticket with a link your post above,... use "Contact us" You'll have to open the ISY and swap cards, but its fairly straight forward. https://www.universal-devices.com/udi-support/ Paul

Hi and welcome to the UDI forums! Node Servers are a key feature introduced with the Version 5 of ISY firmware. If you have V5, there will be a Node Servers menu at the top of the Admin Console. If you choose to look at V5, its still alpha/beta. You can read more about it here: http://forum.universal-devices.com/forum/108-50/ Paul

Sorry, I deleted my post after seeing your original post was about a duct booster so thought it wasn't relevant... doh! I originally had it on an x10 sensor that measured when the furnace was on -.Powerflash & Universal modules. I briefly tried the Insteon stat but they locked up when connected to my old furnaces. It's been a few years, but my recollection was when the Insteon was working, it had to be queried a lot to get the program to work... over all it wasn't the best but maybe someone here better knows its ins and outs. I finally went to the Venstar T5900 that reported when it was actually calling heat or AC to the ISY, that's what was eventually adapted to (below). In the coldest part of winter it could run 20 - 25 minute cycles. I had to play with 'wait' times to balance how much was delivered with boost. The Tjernlund is very powerful and redirected a lot of air. I retired this program after insulating that side of the house and replacing the furnaces. HVAC Duct Booster - Kristen - [ID 0020][Parent 0017][Not Enabled] If 'HVAC / Upstairs' Heat/Cool State is Heating Or 'HVAC / Upstairs' Heat/Cool State is Cooling Then Repeat Every 15 minutes Wait 3 minutes Set 'HVAC / Kristen Duct Booster' On Wait 3 minutes Set 'HVAC / Kristen Duct Booster' Off Else Set 'HVAC / Kristen Duct Booster' Off

Hi Bill A few things, What is your polling interval in the Climate module? What does the program 'Snow Probably' do, can you post it? You could try putting a "Repeat every X minutes" as the first statement before "Run Program Snow Probable". Paul

Hi I'm not sure "how close is too close"...but it seems you are really close. For the scenes, yes, that's what I mean. I have several large scenes that are very close to the same thing..but one has some additional device they are convenient for effect and functionality.. but if I had to start chopping, it would be there... if that's possible for you. Paul

Hi Fred The ISY Portal is a cloud based service of which the ISY is a client. They each have a part to play. The ISY logs in to the ISY Portal service. This allows you to close any router ports you have open for the ISY. As you pointed out, the Portal can be thought about in 2 ways: 1) Remote access to the ISY as an internet appliance with no firewall ports open. ISY->Portal->You outside of your home.. The ISY calls out to the portal and stays attached. You login into the ISY Portal to get back in. Functions include: Remote Admin Console, Remote web page access, Remote Home Automation Dashboard... and connectivity for mobile applications that support it.... Mobilinc and Agave are what I'm aware of, I'm sure others do too. You can also reboot, upgrade and look at logs. 2) Connection to 'Cloud HA' Enablers. Today this includes the Amazon Echo and IFTTT (if this then that). UDI has indicated their intent to also include Google Home as well. Since all 3 of these integrate many individual products like thermostats, switches, alarms systems, etc... its likely UDI will consider additional big integration points like the Echo, IFTTT, Home...if more come along. Yes, if you bought and paid for the Network Module, it remains yours.... that's how its worked out for me I use all of its features currently. Its been worth it to me. I don't think UDI will want modify the portal to split those apart when its $2 a month to begin with. Paul

The iolinc has a 5 volt rating for input, and HVAC uses 24 volts AC, so I wouldn't wire it directly to an iolinc Iolinc contact specs: 5V (10mA), GND, Sense, N/C, N/O, Common (28-16 gauge wire) I've seen posts where people have wired the 24vac call to a relay, and let the relay switch the iolinc. One of our more electronically inclined here might know the right part specification, or search around the forums Paul

I've had a hub and taken it apart. Different case, but the daughter card is the same thing you find in the PLM. No difference outside of the interface to local LAN and connect.insteon.com Paul

Hi, No, the ISY doesn't support serial/IP style commutations for the hub like HouseLinc or HomeSeer do. The 2413S is the best to use to insure communication with Insteon products Paul

Before discovering devices on the Echo side, use the ISY portal to select and publish the devices and scenes individually, so the that they can be discovered. If you added them, hit the refresh botton on the top to make sure they are published for the Echo to discover. Paul

This could depend on the state of the ISY and the backup you are using. If you took at backup right before swapping the PLM, then it could have backed up the bad/no link data in the PLM. Note... the directions aren't totally clear.. you can not put all battery devices in linking mode at the same time.. they must be done one at a time. You have to be prepared to either bring them to the system you are using to do the restore, or have a 'runner' going to the right ones at the right time, or be prepared to run to each and come back. For me, with devices all over the place, this always takes time and repeating it several times. Do you have a recent backup from before the PLM died? If so, restore that and try to Restore Modem (link a few posts up) again. Paul

Yes, I have a folder sorted to the bottom of the tree. Inside of there, I have a sub folder for battery alerts and a sub folder unused devices in another. Unused Devices includes the complementary sensor nodes, nodes I'm not currently using (eg an io linc where I'm only using the sensor, and also devices i'm not currently using and have disabled but are ready to to go (appliancelincs, etc). Paul

Hi Andrew, happy new year to you too! In the program, are you turning the light as a device on directly, or the scene associated with key and light? You want to "set scene xxxx on" to get the key to light up too, if you're not doing that. Turning the light on directly vs scene would match the symptoms you're reporting. Paul

Ok, I might have misunderstood based on the initial post, when it comes to the 'repeat every 1 hour'. That part will only work every hour as long as the variable > 100. You can leave the repeat every one hour out Another way to do it with 2 programs Program a (new program) If $dashbox.... > 100 $sumpOn = 1 Else $sumpOn = 0 Program b (existing program, modified) if $sumpOn = 1 Send Notification (...leave as is) $sumpCycles +=1 (count the number of sump pump cycles) Repeat every 1 minute $sumpRuntime += 1 (measure the runtime of the pump.. maybe seconds instead of minutes) I added the statements to count cycles and runtime... You can reset daily, weekly or monthly with another program (set them to 0). Given its winter, probably weekly or monthly is more useful. I do something similar for my furnaces Paul
