Just installed update! I saw such a minor issue but wanted you to know in case it’s indicative of something more severe in that number of nodes is showing 0 and there are actually 14.

Thanks for making Virtual plugin so much better! I’ll hopefully remember to install and test out tonight.

I installed the NVME drive and ran UD script to switch processing over to it. However, I’m not recalling it if fully boots from the drive or if some or all of OS still resides on default drive. I’ve opened a tuck and asked that question.

Great final thought. Does anyone know if eISY system drive is same as one in Polisy? I bought one of the usb to drive adapters to reimage Polisy a bit ago? Edit: I added the nvme ssd to eISY. I’m recalling that the script to do that moving everything to it and made 60gb internal a backup drive. Is that true?

I prefer Insteon definition for OL so it stays consistent with other behaviors.

I think there is 13% discount code active right now. IMHO UD is a world class small er company that provides incredible support at low initial costs and very small portal fee. This community is also excellent growing under the tutelage of Michel. The cost of eISY went up with tariffs but is still a great deal for a device that’ll likely last for 5 to 10 years. Get an eISY and keep polisy as a ready spare.

If you do the upgrade, take note of your PLM which I’m sure is serial and get the serial to usb converter cable. I too updated my serial PLM before installing with up voltage specification capacitors and it’s been going for years now. Also, since you don’t have zwave, it easy typically very easy conversion but do your ho,work on the upgrade process first.

Upgrade to an eISY. I believe there is a discount code for 13% off right now. It will give you plenty of headroom and ability to leverage great current and around the corner (next few days) features. Since you do not have wave, it’s typically very straightforward.

Is it plugged in to same port on the router? If different port, it could be disabled or configured differently.

Thanks Just upgraded to 3.2.7.

Thanks.

Thanks.

@firstone good morning. I've got version 2.0.18 installed but dashboard and detailed plugin screen is telling me a new version is available that is 2.0.7. Is it just some meta data from install package that needs to be updated? Edit -- I deleted plug in and reinstalled it. Just after installing it said 2.0.7 was installed and while I was looking at the screen it switched display to 2.0.18 Thanks

@Goose66 good morning. I'm getting notifications to update to 3.2.6 but it never takes. I do the upgrade (several times), and it still says 3.2.5. Is it just meta data in the install package that needs to be updated so that it displays 3.2.6 after the update? Thanks

Glad to hear it!

Thanks. I’ll be on lookout for announcements.

Are you using it?

Given what you have learned about the PLM, I’d likely stay put and replace it with new PLM since a reset will clear it with no guarantee that it will let links be written back to it.

When was 6.0.0 released?

@Blackbird I updated Restore PLM instructions above (for someone reading later) to correctly state hold until beeping stops. The PLM reset instructions are: o Unplug the PLM from the power source. o Press and hold the black "set button" on the PLM. o While holding the button, plug the PLM back into power. o Continue holding the button until the PLM beeping stops then release it.

Keep us posting how its going for you.

I agree with Brian and would not use that PLM as there were several issues as I recall. You'd be better served to get a current Serial PLM. The PLM reset instructions are: Unplug the PLM from the power source. Press and hold the black "set button" on the PLM. While holding the button, plug the PLM back into power. Continue holding the button until the PLM beeping stops then release it. This procedure performs a factory reset and clears all linked devices, requiring you to re-establish communication. Did you mention doing the reset to Michel and then seeing if all the queued up restore PLM links would process after the reset. I don't want you to do something that complicates the situation as I've never had a PLM fail like this and not allow a Restore PLM. Same applies to doing another restore where a different PLM will be plugged in and it goes through updating all devices. I know what I would do if it were my setup, but I don't want to roll the dice at this point for you.

I would say good morning but…. Are you contacting UD to confirm next steps? Likely gonna either be a factory reset of PLM to see if that takes and the Restore can finish or somehow confirming all the queued links to current PLM are cleared so you can replace it with the other one. No worries. It looks like it may have fully upgraded to replace PLM VS restore current PLM.

This is a major error and I read it that the PLM is refusing to be written to. What do you get when you check PLM status? It feels the best advice I can give at this point is to enter a critical UD ticket. Firstly, the PLM does sound bad but a factory reset and then another restore may fix it. However, when doing a Restore PLM, it queues up all the PLM links and then executes them one at a time. Taking additional steps would be best under UD direction to ensure you don’t compound a simple problem that they know how to fix quickly.

Restore PLM with same PLM does not impact devices or programming. I did it about a month ago. It just rewrites all links inside PLM. Again, make sure you have good backup in case something goes wrong.
