scoutmedic, did you set the fan to its highest speed before installing the FanLinc?

Scene issue with Insteon Devices & Isy99i
Create a scene with only the problematic OutletLinc as a responder and create a program to run that scene only. Do you still have a difficulty?

Device to control 480V circuit?
What kind of building? No homes and only a very few industrial building have voltage that high?

Schlage Lock, ISY and KPLs, Oh My
Due to the lack of the BE-369 to report it's state I upgraded to a Schlage lock that does, a BE-469.

Create an Amazon account. Open the portal, select My Account, Add. After adding the account, select Users and create a user and link that account to you Amazon account (see Instructions for Connected Home). I have four accounts. Two are linked, the other two are entirely independent.

Remote Web Access No Longer Functional
You need to do two tasks. First, ensure that you can ping the local address. Then ensure that the port is open: http://www.canyouseeme.org/

Converting programs to scenes
If scenes are used to control each bank of lights or both (see #3), then there should be no delay at all when turning the lights on or off. The only delay will be the response of the "both" buttons LED if the banks are not turned on or off at the same time.

Ceiling Fan Control with 2 wires no Neutral
If the only wires in the switch box are black and white, then white is the line and black is the load. You need to change that so that white is neutral and black is line. Describe the wiring in the ceiling box. You can disregard any ground wires.

Insteon Light Bulbs - Turn themselves on after power interrupt
Are any of the bulbs in a location where there was a switch? If so, how many wires are in the switch box? You can disregard any ground wires.

Dimmers not updating status
When creating a program, the concern may be taking action if the device changes from off to on or on to off, for example, a hot water heater. But, sometimes what matters is the the device is manually operated such as using a SwitchLinc or the primary button on a Keypad The Insteon protocol requires the devices respond, whether manually by pressing a button or by linking (scene,secondary button). That happens. But the ISY is able to distinguish between how and when the signal was sent, manually or via a scene allowing programs to create results that are not otherwise possible, for example, only during certain times or only if a button was pushed or both. To do that, the ISY needs to know about all the links/scenes. The ISY is unaware of any links made manually, although if asked, can tell you the state of the device, but not what changed it nor when..

Observations and questions
Did you add the ISY skill? That's separate from setting up the portal. Log into the Alexa, select Skills, search for ISY.
-
Observations and questions
The ISY has a space for a spoken, but that's been superseded by the portal. Spokens are now added from the portal. Select Tool > Connectivity > Amazon Echo. You need ISY version 5.0+ to be logged into two ISYs. I don't know if you'll need two portals.

Device to control 480V circuit?
That's not according to code. All phases of a 480 volt line must be interrupted concurrently. A TPST relay is required. (A TPDT relay can be used if it's more readily available and/or less costly.) Such a relay with a 120 volt coil is easily controlled with an Insteon device. Edit: changed no. of poles

Converting programs to scenes
Sounds like you're accomplishing everything with programs, "When I press the both button there is a delay of about a second before the first bank comes on, then another second before the second bank comes on, with a similar delay when turning the lights off or when updating the status of the "both" light.." Use a combination of both: Scene N: Near button controller, near lights responder Scene F: Far button controller, far lights responder SceneB: Both button controller, both lights responders Both button program If ( Control 'near button' is switched On And Status 'far' is not Off ) Or ( Control 'far button' is switched On And Status 'near' is not Off ) Then Set Scene 'both button' On Else Set Scene 'both button' Off The program will work only if you press the buttons. You'll have to modify it for the devices wired to the lights

Outletlinc issue
That's a power line only device which suggests something on that circuit is interfering with communication. You need to unplug or disconnect everything else on that circuit including anything plugged into that outlet. Turning something off isn't adequate.

Dimmers not updating status
That's not flaw, it's a feature. Programs can differentiate, for example, between a device button press and a linked controller, but only if the linked controller is in a scene. That doesn't matter in your case, but it's important to differentiate between the two when programming. Since you controller is not in a scene, the ISY doesn't respond to it.

Dimmers not updating status
All seven of my 2440s use scenes because scenes are quicker, nearly instantaneous, whereas programs respond slower, sometimes a second or more. Dimming and brightening are not lost at all. You need only one scene per button. Add the button and light A to the scene as controllers. That's it. You can use the same button for both on and off and brighten and dim (or you could use the bright and dim buttons).
-
Dimmers not updating status
Nothing should be done outside the Admin Console because the ISY is unaware of any scenes that it did not create. Create a scene with the both the button as a controller and the dimmer as a responder if the dimmer doesn't control anything else of the dimmer as a responder if the dimmer does control something else.

Here's a link to the multiple accounts Wiki Yes, each account is independent. However, you can share two accounts. Note that if you unshare the accounts, then you can't create the share again for six months ... unless you call Amazon

Outletlinc issue
What does the ISY list it as, 2663 or 2472?

Outletlinc issue
Is the outlet a dimmer or on/off?
-
Ceiling Fan Control with 2 wires no Neutral
No, the dimmer's red load wire is capped, that is, it's not connected to anything at all. The dimmer is connected to power only, line and neutral. Only the FanLinc is connected to the loads, light and fan. I do have a FanLinc controlling LED bulbs.

Hardwired Combo Smoke/CO Alarm and ISY994i?
One would be led to believe that a Onelink device would be Onelink compatible, but then again, an Insteon camera is not Insteon compatible
-
Outletlinc issue
Also ensure that nothing is powered by that circuit, not even the night light. If the ceiling light is powered from an Insteon device, then pull out the set button until it clicks in place (i.e, stays out).
