I’m sure this has been asked but has a serial to usb device been used to enable the USB PLM to be used with ISY? I don’t agree with the SM decision but serial devices are seldom used now. At least might be solution in the short term..

I had same when I first moved to version 5. I solved it by deleting MobiLinc and it’s data from all mobile devices and adding it back.

Not near ISY now but under link management I think there is an advanced option. It’s likely automatic. If so try the device reported option and see if it’ll link.

I deleted, uninstalled and re-installed the node server. It appears to be fine now.

Yes thanks Michel, it was 12.2 and the script ran many steps in updates for several minutes. I scrolled back through terminal session and located this error before the restart. It’s now running 13 and other than this non working node it appears good and heartbeat is fine on other nodeservers.

Michel I ran the steps and during the update of the node server MagicHome in slot two the follow occurred: updating MagicHome Collecting git+git://github.com/fahrer16/flux_led (from -r requirements.txt (lin e 2)) Cloning git://github.com/fahrer16/flux_led to /tmp/pip-req-build-548hdu25 Running command git clone -q git://github.com/fahrer16/flux_led /tmp/pip-req-b uild-548hdu25 ERROR: Error [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'git' while executing comman d git clone -q git://github.com/fahrer16/flux_led /tmp/pip-req-build-548hdu25 ERROR: Cannot find command 'git' - do you have 'git' installed and in your PATH?

It’s a bit conservative and you appear to have made progress but I would install the version of firmware you had on the old ISY on the new ISY and restore your backup. Once that is sorted out and all is working pick your next version and upgrade.

It is correct.

Scene exists in the devices and ISY knows about the scene to get status control if good comms exist. It operates independently of ISY. Same as manual just easier to create and ISY can be used to replace a defective device and of course can control or see status.

I agree. I’d create a scene that does what you need using the ISY by bringing them close to ISY for scene creation and then moving to desired location. When you can get a dual band device update so ISY will see scene status.

Not to lessen or devalue anyone else’s point and experiences, I received a sidewalk notification and turned it off. My dealings with Amazon have been nothing but positive.

If you’re using Polisy, The Vitrtual nodeserver I mentioned lets you add a virtual switch to a scene making it easy to test for scenes being on or off and then based on time of day etc adjust the scene or scene segment. You’ve got right thought process. Good luck and post back if you think we can assist. I’ve posted and got remarks that i didn’t use but made me approach it from a different perspective.

Agree but he said he’d factored in keypads as multiple devices so I’m at a close starting point. Again was just a thought.

I’ve got 299 Insteon devices and 84 scenes which translates to 665 plm links. Your number just sounds high but obviously I don’t know complexities of what you’ve done. I seem to recall that orphan links can occur in plm if you make lots of changes. Has anyone suggested doing a restore plm which will clear and add back links in ISY database to the PLM so you can confirm something has not occurred and inflated the actual number. Also, there is a Virtual Nodesever I’ve started usingits variables as placecholdrrs that might eliminate any hidden keypadlincs you have. Additionally, I have several scenes with the right lights included snd use adjust scene in programs instead of duplicating scene with different settings. Don’t know if this would help but FWIW. Good luck.

Have you used the nodeserver ISY inventory or happen to know how many Insteon devices and scenes you have?

Watch it closely, when that happens it may mean a full PLM failure is imminent.

One thing to look at is the IP address. I set the IP address of the Polisy the same as the RPi polyglot was installed on. And cut off RPi before bringing up the Polisy and doing the restore. The ISY store s IP address of nodes.

In AC, restore PLM to ensure its links are in place. If this fixes the issue and it returns soon after then your PLM is on the way out.

Gotcha. Fantastic, I think the light is on. Lol When entering it in configuration, is the id just supposed to be unique number within the Virtual Nodeserver … not be a pointer to an ISY variable? This is fantastic tool ! Thank you.

@markv58 or others... I just added the node server to create a couple virtual switches. I read this thread but it is very focused on temperatures so maybe I missed what I need. I want simple switches that are linked to state variables with a value of 1 for On and 0 for Off. I entered their variable ids in node config and they showed in ISY as expected. My question is with virtual switches do I need programs to move the 1 and 0 as On and Off or for switches is that part of the nodeserver purpose? It appears I do since turning On or Off the virtual switch does not impact the variable and changing the variable value does not impact the virtual switch state. I don't want to add programs if they are a duplication of the nodeserver programming and its not working as I've done something else wrong or its one of the polling intervals. Thanks!

Y is a crystal and I’m of no help beyond that on specs. Have you run continuity checks to confirm that there are no broken traces where capacitors leaked snd failed. Board looks rough next to them.

Are there any If conditions on the folder that contains the non running programs. If a folder is not true no programs in it will run. Also I’d put wait 15 seconds to get a picture of what’s going on. It’s on so short at 1 second before it gets turned off. The second it’s off the program will revaluated and become false. One more consideration is that those fans are big electrical line noise generators. I did similar so I repeated the off command 3 - 5 times with 1 second in between to try snd get through. Especially true if switches are not dual band or do not another dual band device nearby to serve as alternative path to control it.

Thanks [mention]fahrer16 [/mention] I updated successfully and UD Mobile sync parse error is gone. I have two LED strips. They are not automatically discovered so I hard coded them in node configuration which works great. Today when I updated , I saw two parse errors in the log and I could not control LED strips. Realized both had gone offline to Wifi. Power cycled lights and restarted Polisy. The parse errors are gone and I can control lights. I’ll be fine from now on but might be good if parse error said can’t find the hard coded light set for first time users.

You can add it as a widget on latest versions of iOS. It might benefit from a smaller widget tile option.
