I'm running ISY version 4.8 Several times per week (sometimes per day), my Insteon thermostats turn off when they are set to heat mode. To be specific, the mode turns to off and the heat setpoint resets to 60 degrees. I do not have an ISY program (or anything) that would cause this to happen. To get around the issue, I have a program to capture this event and automatically change the mode back to heat and a heat set point to 67... but it's driving me crazy. Thoughts? Also, is there a way to capture a heat setpoint temp change (e.g. as an ISY variable), then use that variable as the thermostat's heat setpoint?

Curious how ISY users interact with devices attached to the ISY and if you're interested in controlling your ISY-enabled devices via text/SMS I will be launching a new service that allows ISY users to send text commands to query/control their ISY-enabled devices. PM me if you want more details or would like to sign up for our beta.

Here's what I have: ISY994i ZWIR/Pro running 5.0.16 (both UI and firmware) 2 Insteon Motion Sensor II 3 Schlage Zwave Deadbolts 1 Zwave Siren 6 2 Switchlincs - *** I have installed these yet In order to pair the 3 zwave schlage deadbolts and the Siren 6 I held them right next to the ISY and then I moved them to the correct locations (2 deadbolts about 10-15' away from ISY, 1 deadbolt about 60' away from ISY, Siren 6 about 7' away). The Insteon motion sensor II are about 15' away from the ISY. I haven't yet install the switchlincs.

I added 3 zwave devices and 2 insteon motion sensor II devices but I'm having a difficult time getting them all to work for more than a few hours... The Insteon Motion Sensor II's are showing up with weird icon <see attachment>. I'm running the latest 5.x RC branch. isy.pdf

I have a PLM installed and a Zwave dongle. I paired 4 Zwave devices without any issues.

The MS II blinks... the ISY linking display in the admin console doesn’t show that it found anything. I have 4 zwave nodes but can’t get the motion sensor II to link. Guess I’ll try another one or a switchlinc

I’m on the latest 5x RC branch

I held it down for 3-5 seconds and it beeped but it did not add anything to the ISY while in linking mode.

I saw a product label inside the battery compartment... had 3 sets of characters like AB:CD:EF but when I attempted to link it manually it said invalid address.

I'm setting up a new ISY... I have several Insteon Motion Sensor II devices (model #2844-222) and haven't yet installed any Insteon devices. When I click Link Management -> Start Linking and click the set button on the device, nothing happens. I tried to do a Link A Sensor -> Motion Sensor II but what would I type as the address?

Nope... there's an empty cavity area next to Port A. The only blue light is on the front side coming from the power LED.

The sticker only says ISY994i IR PRO

I purchased it off Amazon... Amazon title, paperwork says ISY994iZW+/IR-PRO. I attempted to pry off back again but it appears there's a front center near power where it will not pop off. I can see the circuit board in there from the backside but nothing else. Amazon order desc: ISY994iZW+/IR-PRO Universal Devices Home...

Back has 3 screws... unscrewed them but where the 4th screw would/should be it will not allow me to pull it off all the way... not do I know what a zwave dongle would look like. When I purchased the zwave module for $1, it rebooted and it now has the Zwave menu. The menu says "Zwave dongle not responding" and "Upgrade Z-wave firmware". When I clicked upgrade zwave firmware and watch the event viewer... I see on "Cannot set global RX options", "Cannot set noise threshold for channel 0 (and channel 1)" "restarting zwave dongle"

Product: ISY 994i/IR PRO (1110) I even went through the process of purchasing a ZWAVE module but it says and when it installs it says it can't find the zwave dongle.

I have an ISY994iZW/Pro at home working great. I just purchased another ISY994iZW/Pro for the cabin. However, when I log into my new ISY the Zwave menu is gone (not there). Did they ship me the wrong device? Do I need to install something?

The jnlp file when launched doesn’t work without Internet access either... how on earth can I launch the admin console without access to the Internet? I have a WiFi router that my MacBook and ISY are connected too and I know my ISY IP address.

I just purchased a new ISY for my cabin. I have one at home... at my cabin, I have no Internet connection yet and I’m trying to launch the ISY Launcher and the admin.jnlp tool but neither work because they appear to want to download something from the Internet. Is there any way to download the admin console directly from the ISY? Alternatively, I could take my laptop to a nearby WiFi and download the admin console as long as when I go back to cabin I can launch the admin console and access the ISY... I do have a router and WiFi at cabin but no Internet yet.

Is the Insteon motion sensor II compatible with the production ISY994i firmware?

That was it... perhaps I was being hacked (externally)... I removed the static route to my ISY and the admin console and web interface started working flawlessly.

For the past few days I've been unable to access the ISY from the web interface (e.g. http://192.168.1.10) or the admin console. I can ping my ISY without issues. I unplugged and replugged it in numerous times (including the PLM) and that has no affect. Occasionally the web UI will begin to display and show "timeout, Loading /config/. BTW - my home automation is working (e.g. lights turn on/off, programs firing, etc.) and occasionally my IOS app (HomeTap) allows me to interact with the ISY but it's like running super slow or not at all. Thoughts?

I built my house 2 years ago and went all in with Insteon switchlinc’s... I have over 100 of them. I have over 75 motion sensors wired into my elk for automating lights (turning lights on/off automatically in every room in my home). System has been flawless for 2 years except 1 PLM event.

I was able to access google.com's home page without issue (they must have mod_security disabled and/or allow 3rd party non-browser clients (like the ISY) to connect. I spent several hours late last night and found a solution to allow ISY calls to a remote server with mod_security enabled... We're basically trying to trick the Apache server in thinking the ISY is a browser. Here are the headers I set in the ISY Networking Resource to get it to work: Accept: text/html Accept-Charset: utf-8 Accept-Language: en-US Content-Type: text/html User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36

I do have a server on my LAN but I'm working on some cloud-based automation and I need to execute a Network Resource on a remote/hosted server.

Just thought I'd update the thread... apparently most hosting companies run mod_security (an Apache security module) that block inbound requests originating from an HTTP client (e.g. ISY network resources) if that client doesn't have a variety of HTTP header details (Michel posted a link to some of them). I tried every combination of accept headers and I was never able to get the ISY to access my backend server. I also tried to access wiki.universal-device.com using NR and that didn't work (I suspect due to the same mod_security reasons). I gave up and routed the call from iRule for now... If I get the time/patience I'll try it again and post an update.
