Upload Node Server Profile
Log in and take a look. I have no developer access, just looked and I can "Load Profile" on all of my plugins

Garage door keypad
There's always a few simple things to try with Insteon that don't take that much time to try and see if they work. In iox try right clicking on the sensor for the garage door open close (assuming an iolinc) and click Restore Device

Govee Plug-In Capable of Multiple Devices?
Guessing "no". The forums indicate that they haven't logged in since August 14, 2022.

AC won't launch from Iox Launcher. Win 11
There's software under development that would replace the admin console a web and/or app that would be served off of eisy. The end of year 24 announcement was that the foundational underpinnings were installed with the big update from earlier this year... which is different than the finished product being delivered and ready. In a different post, I recall that initially it would be Insteon only in the first rev when that's delivered. It's not there in usable form yet.

It sounds like you did everything to eliminate java on the PC (assuming its a pc). Anything else PC wise change? New PC, network card, virus software?

2477S on/off; EISY not updating status after linking
This does happen with Insteon from time to time per @Techman's explanation. In my experience keypads and the old togglincs tend to be the biggest culprits, sometimes needing a restore device every few years. Another factor is sometimes new devices come from the factory needing to be factory reset. You may have had 2 from a production run where this was the case.

I3 Paddles and Resume Dim in a Multi-Way Config
I do have several N-ways but no resume dim. What I have noticed on the i3 paddle flags is that value presented by iox is not what's actually in the switch. Have had several "hmmm?" moments on that. The way to check is to go to the flags value for one of the responders and see if resume dim is what you think it should be.... Then press Query while on the flags value. What happens? In either case, press the resume dim button in the flags again to force the setting to the switch One that got me was "disable rf". I have an i3 paddle in a far away location and it was not communicating properly. On querying the flags, Disable RF was on(?) and the approach I described above fixed it.

Blue Memory light flashing slowly
There is an SD Card. The SD card is essentially the hard drive of the ISY. The operating system and all of your automation are stored there. Though this article is for the ISY26, it is still relevant https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Replacing/Formatting_an_SD_Card

Blue Memory light flashing slowly
Flashing blue is a SD memory card issue. Try reseating the SD card issue. It can be cleaned with a pencil eraser before reseating If its an older ISY 994i, chances are the card needs to be replaced

Arithmetic calculations
It will take to statements to get the total in the variable: $TempGradient = $inside temp $TempGradient -= $outside temp The -= means subtract $outside temp from $Tempgradient. $Tempgradient has to be a state variable, as is any variable that is used in an If statement

Admin Console (LAN) Doesn't Load
Glad you are making progress! There would be some starting over with the hub. If you don't have plans to change things much, it might be best to stick with the ISY unless something else happens to make it hard to use.
-
Admin Console (LAN) Doesn't Load
The hub is a simpler solution, but it's hard to say without details and what simple means. There's a point where the hub can't do what the ISY can. Can you define simple? Programs with schedules? Programs that take actions other than schedules? Programs that do variables and math . +- / x ..etc?

Admin Console (LAN) Doesn't Load
Take a read through this thread. Start with cleaning and reseating the sd card. If it works and you're not going to migrate to polisy for a while, consider the steps to replace the card.
-
Admin Console (LAN) Doesn't Load
There's several possibilities: ISY needs a reboot I'd suggest unplugging the isy, waiting 10 seconds and replugging. Wait a few minutes and try to access it again If that doesn't work, it might be the SD Card is bad. Try one, and if that doesn't work, reply back and we'll go from there

Help ! Bought a house with an ISY994i System
my.isy.io is for the portal, which is additional services and requires a small fee subscription. You're looking to get local access to your ISY, which different, and free, it's located here: https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp This downloads the isy admin console software, now known as iox, and is a java application which will run on the Java you installed. Once you do that, you should see an UDI icon on your desktop. Double click that to run iox. Having said all that, the interface you're presented with takes a little time to get used to. There a several training references which include a wiki, and also doc called the ISY Cook Book. Take a look at this link for references to start navigating your new world

Upgrading from ISY994 to EISY | Will 2414U PLM work?
It's a pain in everyone's house UDI requires you to have the eisy (and I think polisy) to use the i3 devices. When I moved to my new-to-me home, I started with an eisy and used only i3 paddles and outlets, mixed with other Insteon devices imbedded and sensors, iolincs. I've read about an issue with the i3 keypad not being able to assign the key that powers its red wire, but other than that had good experience.

Upgrading from ISY994 to EISY | Will 2414U PLM work?
There are product differences between the 2412 and 2413 PLMs: 2412s are powerline only, not dual band/rf. If you have dual band devices, they should bridge that on the Insteon network I don't believe battery sensor devices, which are wireless only are supported by the 2412, at least directly Scene communications are improved with i2cs protocol support of the 2413 PLMs. If you have, or are planning to add new Insteon devices, they likely will perform better with the 2413s I don't know for sure if Insteon's newest i3 products will work with the the 2412.. likely backwards compatible, but I don't know for certain If you're going to keep your Insteon network the way it is and don't have problems with it, likely the 2412 will be fine. But, if you're planning to expand, or have communication issues, you'll want to think about the 2413.

Help ! Bought a house with an ISY994i System
Welcome to the UDI forums! Let's start with the basics, you'll need a computer with Java installed to load UDI's admin console to access the 994i. do you have a PC or a Mac computer ? Is Java installed? https://www.java.com/en/download/

Ordered an eisy in Canada and got this...
We can't assume UDI reads all posts here. I'd submit a ticket to get attention sooner. It looks like its available from their store, but I don't know the implications for shipping to Canada... vs what eisy + tariff might be if it were to get applied in the future.

cant determine insteon engine
To 'smoke test' the line noise theory... If the iolinc is one of the non-working devices, are you able to temporarily unhook it and plug it into the same outlet as the PLM and repeat the test?
-
cant determine insteon engine
The green arrows point to communication issues with the device. It might be that the keypad needs a factory reset (pull out tab and wait 10 seconds, push tab all the way and hold until it beeps). Then, restore device. The other method is to use the admin console in Linking Mode and go to the devices one at a time and press the set button quickly.. the devices will show up in the admin console and you follow the prompts there to finish You can right click on the remote linc and click delete device, but I'd do that after you get the keypad working

Process for refund from PG3 plugins store?
I owned a rainmachine at my last house and the connection is local api. Before the current plugin was written, io_guy supported rainmachine through his nodelink node server and that was local.   The rainmachine is built on android and its webserver provides pages to configure the rainmachine locally. My recollection is the the full URLs and port numbers were specific.. I believe :8080

Moved to new house
You can buy new lamp or on/off plug in modules and experiment with placing them in different locations... They are dual band and will improve Insteon in places where it can't reach. IO lincs, including new ones, are powerline only
