Can anyone recommend the best way to troubleshoot link creation when one creates a scene? I have many scenes where there are multiple devices which act as as controllers for one device which acts as a responder. Once I have created the scene, I noticed that some of the controlling devices don't reflect the state of the scene. For example, if I have a Switchlinc dimmer which acts as a controller and responder in a scene, with a button on two Keypadlincs which act as controllers, I expect that when the Keypadlinc button is turned on, the button on the other Keypadlinc acting as a controller is also turned on, as well as the Switchlinc dimmer. With recently created scenes, I noticed that the state of the button or paddle which is not pressed is not updated with the current scene state. Older scenes I have created are correctly updated. Any thoughts on the best way to troubleshoot this? Thanks!

Thanks for your suggestions. I was not close to the PLM when I attempted to link the motion sensor. I tried linking the motion sensor using both methods, one described in the original post and one where I selected Start Linking and put the sensor into linking mode. The linking process in each case did not appear to initiate and the Admin Console went promptly back to a Ready state. I also tried factory resetting the motion sensor and tried to link the device. I looked at the communication events while attempting to link manually. It appears that the motion sensor was already added previously. Is this the expected behavior?

I tried adding an Insteon motion sensor model 2420 tonight and couldn't do it. From the Admin Console, I selected Link Management/Link a Sensor/Motion Sensor After accepting the next dialog with the instructions on putting the motion sensor in setup mode, I entered the device address, a device name, and the device type (2420M), then pressed OK. The console didn't do anything other than to return to a waiting state after this. No device created. Status of the controller is Ready. On a separate note, I have noticed that not all the links are created when creating scenes where I have 3 or more devices with a several controller and a responder. The observed behavior of this failure is when the device states are not synced amongst the controlling devices. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this. Any ideas? Thanks.

Geddy: The information provided in the link was in context with the version of MacOS at the time. The Privacy and Security settings tab has been revamped in Mac OS Sequoia 15.3.2. There is a Developer Tools subtab which you can specify apps which can circumvent the security restrictions but the jnlp file cannot be selected to be added. The jnlp file is grayed out.

Under System Settings | General | Local Network, the IOX Launcher doesn't appear in the list, nor is there a visible way to add additional apps to the list. Not sure what the references to other posts are relevant - if I try launching start-8.jnlp, MacOS returns an error indicating that the app was not opened because Apple could not verify the file was free of malware.

Hi Geddy, I'm running macOS Sequoia 15.3.2. It's not clear how one adds apps to the local area network access list as no controls are visible.

Hi there, I have an ISY994i running the IoX Launcher on a Macbook. I tried launching the Launcher today and the Admin Console failed to start because of a certificate error. I don't understand the ins and outs of security certificates, self signed certificates. I tried reading the wiki pages about self signed certificates and it is above my pay grade. Does anyone know how to correct the issue easily to be able to launch the Admin Console? Thanks!

I want to write an automation script to notify me when my dryer load is completed. To do this, I think I'll need a plug for monitoring the load change on the dryer. Does anyone on this forum know a ZWave plug for this purpose that works with the ISY994? Or, if I'm barking up the wrong tree, is there a better way to accomplish this task?

I believe if you run the Airport Utility on your Macbook Pro, you can see your router and see all of its clients attached to it. You can look for the MAC address of your ISY to find its IP address and try manually adding it to the Launcher using the Add option.

Home Assistant seems to have a good model for this. If the update doesn't work, there appears to be a feature allowing rollbacks. I have no experience with that, as I have thankfully never had HA not comeback from an upgrade. But their model seems pretty sensible.

If you're concerned about the ramifications of using this node server, you can always use an IO Linc with your setup to generate the momentary contact necessary to open and close the gargage door, then use a door sensor to monitor if the garage door is open or not. I have a magnetic contact sensor mounted on the floor of my garage and the other component mounted to the door. Use a program to trigger the necessary contact to open and close the door and monitor the state of the sensor. This works pretty well.

Read your post and tried to think out of the box here. Any possibility of taking one of the modules and giving it to another user for adding it to their system? That might confirm if the device is bad or if you have comm errors.

Have you looked into a device called Broadlink? Apparently a lot of people use it for IR functions. It sort of operates like a Harmony Hub, but is purportedly easier to deploy. They're reasonably priced too, available on sites like Amazon. I personally have not tried the Broadlink device since I have amassed a collection of Harmony Hubs over the years. But it would be a device I'd consider. In addition to IR support, it also supports RF.

When using a UPS, is it a good idea to plug the UPS into a Filterlinc? This is presuming that the modem is not plugged into the UPS, but the eISY's power supply is.
