I use the ecobee plug-in for reading fan status. I have a program that monitors the fan runtime for when its status is on, but not because of heat or cool cycles as I have several functions that cycle the fan manually and I want to track that. It's worked fine for the year I've had it. Something that will help is to go into pg3x for ecobee and turn on debug level logging. Let the event you're looking for happen. Attach the log here or pm it to @Jimbo.Automates and referring to this post.

As Brian suggests I put an old phone charger block on several of my Christmas LEDs to get rid of the glow or pulse. Sometimes it takes 10 seconds or more to finally have it stop.

I migrated years ago from 2 easyfloras to a rainmachine. The software I used was io_guy's nodelink which doesn't fit in the pg3x model. However, 2 things: There is a pg3x plugin for easyflora in the production store from another developer The rainmachine is extremely capable including internet weather. It does just about everything on its own. I used the plugin to run one "hot zones" program based on outside temp and also create notifications when things ran. I've since sold that house... I think rainmachine changed the remote access model to subscription. You'll want to look at that before deciding to go this route.

There's translation needed here. Some ISY users are moving to the HA (home assistant) platform. Insteon is not a core product feature of the HA (home assistant) platform, and Insteon support is not native like it is with the ISY. HA has the equivalent of an eisy plugin to support Insteon. Nothing against plugins. I own a number of them. But plugin authors have "day jobs" and in this case can't buy/integrate/test every Insteon device as UDI has done with the ISY. When it comes to Insteon integration, the ISY/eISY is the deep end of the pool. Choosing to migrate to other platforms means you either lose some Insteon capability , and/or you use the equivalent of a plugin to integrate the ISY into HA, or look at adding the Insteon hub to attempt to get the full capability back.

Insteon remains a sold solution - If you want switches that work fast in scenes and continue to function in virtual n-way circuits when the controller (PLM) dies ISY, by design is, meant to integrate a variety of different technologies Like other competitors that do the same, they rely on community developers UDI does not rush things out the door UDI just announced numerous new releases for Jan 2025 on the way All of the alternatives have their own, different type, Achilles heels At the risk of speaking for UDI, eisy is what it is. If its right for you, stay... if not, find something else. You need to decide what's right for you. The pace of release is based on stable, reliable product.

Plugging the GDO motor into a filterlinc would help as well.

Something else that's proven to help me when powerline only devices are on my Insteon network; add the components of the old signallinc bridge to your power panel. This gives powerline signals a direct path across the the legs.

The insteon thermostat is a little different than other insteon devices. It's not getting powerline signals so I didn't know how it would repeat local traffic. I'm not certain it would repeat wireless traffic, just don't know. If the thermostat is protecting something including the garage itself, I'd look at putting a module out there that can reach the house.

I've run into this. The io module is a power line only module and my belief is that the door motor line noise is preventing the signal from making it to the plm. I did the query program a second or 2 after door travel time and it worked. I first added an access point to the garage (it would need to be a plug-in module today). This helped, but the query program seemed to fix it for free it could be added later if you continue to have problems

Yes, that looks right. There's a catch-22 with the PLM restore.... you have to be connected to do it. Try powering down the eISY Unplug the the plm Unplug and firmly replug the plm's cable to the eISY on both ends plug the plm back in wait 10 seconds, the start eisy back up

It happened to mine when I first set it up. It took 2 or 3 times. I'd the insteon box checked in iox under config?

There's a couple of things to look at How old is the plm? Post the 4 numbers on the white sticker on the back of you don't know the year you bought it. Is the LED by the set button lit? It should be. If that checks out or the plm is new: when I first set up my eisy that happened to me and I had to restart eisy several times. Then it was good.

Pg3x is the owner of the node & it's data.. it's best to delete the nodes within each plug-in there. But normally when you do, they're removed. If a node is blank, that means there wasn't data to update it. Sometimes it takes a while or certain events to happen. The details of that could be in the plug-in docs, or you could post a specific question about certain nodes in the forum under the plugins section.

Can you look under Tools>Diagnostics>PLM Info/Status? What does it say?

The limits are high for me. I don't remember specifics, but their web page explains it. I paid one time for the app one time $5 each for my android phone and ipad

I've used pushover app for a number of years. Since using eisy, I've switched from using network resources to the paid for notification plug-in with pushover. I don't include image attachments, but pushover can have them, not sure if the the notification plug-in supports them. Worth asking in that forum. Pushover gives me organized notifications without clogging up email or text. The notifications can be put in groups they call apps, but this of them ssy folders. The pics are apps (folder) view and details in one of the apps(folders)

There's a thousand and one assumptions we can all make about how it's going to be architected. It's probably best to be encouraged that they've been listening and are working on it, and evaluate it once we can do that.

The address is printed on the front, bottom right of the faceplate mount as you face the outlet. Small type, with a qr code you can scan.. It's meant for scanning it into an insteon hub, but it will come up and you can read it on your phone You can also put the eisy in linking mode, press the set button and have the eisy find it

In the comments in the announcement, Michel says "yes" The initial Jan 25 release is Insteon only

@GlowingHair .. ok. And at my house, IPAs belong in a frosted glass 🍻 🤪

I would say that there are tiers of products for smart thermostats and ecobee is very good value for the capability, quality, dependability and service as you mentioned. It's designed to be an home automation integrated product and I'm not as worried about them pulling the rug out from underneath my working system like Nest would have. I bought mine from them as refurbished for $125 and it came with one remote sensor... in my experience that's good money for something that works.

192.168.1.x looks like a locally administered address, non internet and likely your hue hub. Is it possible that the 2 bulbs coming on are different age or type than the others and maybe earlier products were able to operate locally?

Agreed. in that discussion we found it possible to send an All On from the button on the bottom of the iox device screen. I can't imagine where/how else the ISY could have sent that if not from the PLM itself.. My PLM that did it was recently bought one at that time.

What do the network resources look like? Network resources can address local devices directly, where phone apps typically go to a "cloud" service that has to come back to your house. When I used Venstar thermostats and rainmachine sprinkler controller, they worked exactly like this.

It wasn't about the bulk of my files which were already on gdrive on not this pc. It was migrating my detailed configuration from old w10 to new w11 pc. The new (to me) MS Backup will of course only work with one drive to complete the task.
