Tried deleting and re-adding the module in close proximity to the ISY. Same behavior. Once added, do ZWave devices update without being in linking mode?

Just to be clear, the entities for the module were created and everything looked like it completed. But after a few minutes, the <Writing> icons started to show up.

Here is a screenshot:

Has anyone encountered this behavior with adding a new ZWave device? Recently, I purchased a ZWave On/Off Module with Energy Monitoring capabilities. I enrolled the device as I have done with other, older ZWave modules. The process went without a hitch. After a few minutes, I noticed that the device entries all had the green <Writing> status next to each entry. For Insteon devices, there is an explicit command for finish writing updates to a device. What are you supposed to do for ZWave devices? I have tried leaving the device alone and waiting for the <Writing> status to go away. When it didn't go away, I tried putting the plugin device into pairing mode. No change. Does anyone know what's supposed to happen here? Or is this device just something to return for another device from a different company? Thanks.

How reliable is the scene test feature? I tested a scene twice and received back two completely different results. One where all devices in the scene failed, and one where all devices in the same scene succeeded. I did find that installing more Filterlincs for some other circuits helped rectify communication issues. How can one tell between a failing PLM with communication problems caused by a noisy line? Thanks!

Here are some screenshots of results:

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.
