Transition induced or coincidence?
LOL no argument here. I’m gonna start using the term RI.

Programs - Control vs State?
If Control will trigger even if the device is already in that state so if a switch is on and you tap on at switch it will trigger. If Status only triggers if the device state changes from some other state so if it’s on and you tell it on again it will not trigger.

Transition induced or coincidence?
FWIW This is what AI said: Yes, you can set the LED backlight level on an Insteon wall switch, but the exact steps depend on whether it’s a SwitchLinc‑style paddle/dimmer or an Insteon keypad.[1][3] ### For Insteon SwitchLinc (paddle/dimmer) On most Insteon SwitchLincs (toggle, paddle, or rocker‑style), the LED backlight defaults to about 50% brightness and is adjustable via the device itself:[3][1] 1. Enter LED‑adjust mode - Press and hold the Set button about 3 seconds until it beeps and the LED starts blinking.[1][3] 2. Adjust brightness - Use the On/Off (or top/bottom) paddle to brighten or dim the backlight to your desired level.[3][1] 3. Save - Tap the Set button once; the unit will double‑beep and exit, saving the new LED level.[1] ### For Insteon Keypad (6‑ or 8‑button) KeypadLinc LEDs can be set to any of 32 brightness levels from the device:[2][3] - 6‑button layout: - Simultaneously tap A and D to start adjustment. - Use On/Off to brighten/dim, then tap A and D again to save.[2] - 8‑button layout / i3 Keypads: - Either tap C & F (or predefined buttons) to enter adjust mode, then hold On to brighten/dim. - Tap C & F again (or the designated save button pair) to store the level.[2][3] ### If you use a hub or ISY / Home Assistant Some hubs (e.g., ISY‑series, Home Assistant with Insteon integration) expose a “backlight” or “LED brightness” slider; you can set the level there instead of via the physical buttons, then “write changes” to the device.[4][6][3] If you tell me the exact Insteon model (for example “2477D paddle switch” or “2334‑2xx Keypad”), I can give you the precise button‑sequence for that unit.

Transition induced or coincidence?
Curious, when you said updating manually earlier in the thread, did you mean manually at the switch or from eisy console? Based on what you just posted, it does appear there might be an issue on eisy that @IndyMike csn help you understand Also, I asked AI a different way and it said updates were minimum of 100,000 writes which I used to update my prior post.

Transition induced or coincidence?
Did a quick bit of AI and the storage used for those settings is typically rated at 1.000 to 10,000 update cycles so at twice a day that would be 1.4 years to 10x that time. I’m careful with AI but maybe not enough this time. Went deeper and got this: “Insteon switches use EEPROM memory (often SST39VF040 or similar) for settings, with a guaranteed endurance of 100,000 write/erase cycles per sector. Actual lifespan often exceeds this minimum in practice, as noted in general EEPROM discussions, though exact chip specs for all models aren’t always public.”

Hope I’m recalling this correctly but some have mentioned that the memory where those settings are stored has a limited life of updates. Your doing it manually supports this as a possible cause if by manually you mean at the switch.

Java admin console hanging
If your main home has many more devices, you might try increasing the memory Java can use. I use 1024 Open Control Panel. 2. Open Java. 3. Go to the Java tab. 4. Click View under Java Applet Runtime Settings. 5. Select the JRE version your browser uses. 6. In Runtime Parameters, enter something like -Xmx512m . 7. Click OK and restart all browser windows.[xzbackup +1] Important notes • -Xmx sets the maximum heap size; for example, -Xmx1024m means 1 GB.[reddit +1]

How to migrate from ISY994i/ir to EISY
As I recall the out of memory on a program is misleading. It typically meant a device or variable that was used in the program has been deleted.

Adding switches to a scene cause them to lose links
Yes, create a scene and add them to it. Be careful to indicate controller or responder. Also, you can tell it to erase old links. A small flat head screen driver makes pulling the tab very simple without fear of breakage.

Did anyone else have an unexpected upgrade?
There has been a minor update auto pushed. Don’t recall which version but I believe the version you’re upgrading from and to may require UD assistance. I’d enter a ticket to get directions.

Programmatically change on level and ramp rate
I feel I’m missing something but how about putting the device in its own scene and then using adjust scene to make changes?

INIT TO causing variable to be zeroed out
Not better just different… I backup text copies of all programs using Copy Folder to Clipboard. With resulting file I will use a text editor for find to review and research issues.

EISY 6.0.5
I didn’t read all of the background but I’d guess he meant restore the backup that you made prior to the upgrade.

fanlinc
The scenes per button were a little daunting to setup but they’ve been flawless for me. The plus for me is it’s there and doesn’t need a controller to work so if eISY happens to be offline or you get line noise etc it still functions.

Odd pop up keeps popping up
Reboot and it will go away. It’s a bug from one of later releases.

Glad I could help.

New Device Notification
Reboot and it will clear.

Version Question
As I recall, the number on switch likely refers to the hardware version. It might uptick if for example a larger capacitor was specified. eISY is reporting the onboard firmware version.

Program Details Screen
By name they appear time for a a portion of the If. Is your time zone set correctly?

Program Details Screen
Green means the last time executed it was True and Red means it was False. The ones in Yellow are the ones you should look at.
