Make sure that "Relay follows input" is not checked in the iolinc's options

Bob, no those are both the same. The Portal Module installed in the ISY provides another doorway to login to the ISY, using the portal email address and password as credentials. This applies to logging in to the admin console and ISY hosted web pages. When you attach directly to your ISY, either on your LAN or through an open router port, you use your User ID and Password that you originally set up in the ISY When you attach via the portal, you use your portal email address and password.. both for web logins, and for admin console.

Glad you got closer to working! The keypad could possibly be a noise problem. Did you have to replace the original keypad for the same reason, unable to communicate with it? The only other suggestion I have is to use remove from folder for the keypad, and delete it. Try to add it back in. Paul

The ISY is missing links. I would start with the restoring a recent backup. I think something happened to the ISY image Make a back up now, then, Restore from the most recent backup you have before today, and review ISY links if it looks more comparable, rerun your tests Paul

Ok, the next level is to look at the details: For each of the two devices: Tools Diagnostics Show Device Links Tools Diagnostics Show ISY Links Post the results back here.

It looks like part of steps 4 and 5 are out of order, the PLM gets plugged in and then bring the ISY up http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:File_Menu#Restore_Modem_.28PLM.29

Unplug the PLM and the ISY. Wait 10 seconds. Plug the PLM back, wait 5 seconds, plug the ISY back in Repeat the restore plm Paul

I would factory reset the iolinc and then restore device. I've had problems with one in my garage that I've had to handle that way. Paul

For the garage lights, I assume that that's an iolinc, and there is a scene linking the sensor to the switches that control the lights? If so, can you click on the scene, are the switches in there as responders? Edit: Sorry, your write up said program. Does the ISY recognize the io_linc in the properstate when the door is up vs down

It sounds like things the ISY initiates on schedules like landscape lights work, but you're not receiving commands from some switches to the ISY (?) Do any of the devices have a "1010" icon next to them? If so, right click and write updates to those devices, this is a common occurrence for restore modem If there are no "1010" icons, right click on the affected devices and Restore device. Again, this is not an uncommon side effect of restoring a modem Paul

I'm using W10: IE, Edge and Firefox all return the Account window with correct info, except Address and Website fields are blank. FYI only, I'm ok with it as is Paul

Was the one that lasted a long time a 2412 PLC as opposed to the 2413PLM? The 2412 had a reputation of being solid; but as an older product it was retired. I found with my first 2413 in 2011 that powerline noise was responsible for making the PLM failing. It was near a furnace motor. I filtered the furnace motor and that was the end of the problem. Paul

Another method is to use a fast-on (double press) to activate an undo program. I use something similar for mine good night program

If O'Reilly runs out of options for mascot for their book series, they know who to talk to

What I get looks like this. Its centered in the browser window which is the portal blue color A number of the fields are blanks, and I also covered up that area to hide details. Its pretty much the same info you can get from the the ISY Portal Information drop down selection.

Mine gives a window similar to ISY information with my name and email used for the account Since I have the deluxe version, I also get unicorns and ponies

I don't have a direct explanation, but yes, updating existing scenes sometimes requires devices to removed and added back. I noticed this kind of behavior on homeseer as well, so my observation is that its insteon related.

Gathering them in one spot and replacing is one way. Using laptop that has java, or a surface tablet, and moving yourself to each device is another. It is a PITA no matter what. The location of the update and hops do not matter. The insteon mesh figures that out on its own at run time. Paul

Yes, its annoying. The address swap has been done in one rare case. SH swapped out defective Gen 1 Hubs a few years back for replacements that worked. One of the options was to wait a few more weeks for the replacement to arrive and send them your defective Hub's insteon address. A new hub was shipped with the the original's insteon address. I swapped, did the equivalent of restore PLM for homeseer, and was back in business. I would gladly pay for this now as a service now as you describe, just don't see it happening. Ok, I'm going to cry now. Paul

The default after a reset is admin/admin, I believe. Give that a try. Paul

You can also do this, if you are not on 4.2.1. I use 5.02, and this changes the presentation of just the admin console, not the entire desktop. Paul

Good post Paul, thanks. I've been teetering on the edge of zwave. My primary target is GDO. Not having problems with iolinc, but would like to mitigate that risk. Aeotec seems to be a vendor that understands HA and signalling, after reading the links about the sirens as zwave repeaters. Staying tuned.... Paul

Jon- It would have to be programmed in python. Polyglot enables python code to interface with the ISY. On the other side, there would need to be an API from python to the thermostat. That's the missing link for this product line, AFAIK. Paul

My recollection is that there were 3 difficulties with Honewell wifi thermostats Its a cloud only API. If there are difficulties with their services or the internet, control is lost. Depending on the type of control, this might not be a problem. With what I have automated, I would be uncomfortable with that. They have not formally released their API to the public, rather specific software companies. Some smart enthusiasts have "reversed engineered" the API, not something Honeywell will want to support. I believe that this is still true, its bee a while since I read about it. There are different APIs for the RTH and other models Solutions that allow functionality via RPi programs, etc, are web page scraped and ultimately the solution breaks, unannounced, if honeywell changes their mind on a technical approach. UDI as a company directly supports no Wifi thermostats that I am aware of. The do support native insteon thermostats, zwave thermostats and some zigbee thermostats. There are developers have developed solutions to integrate wifi thermostats with the ISY, but these solutions usually involve running a server . Another route is IFTTT, but I don't know if that would be 2 way communication, or command only Not the answer you wanted, but I don't believe this is on the near horizon. Paul
