Happy new year

Portal and UD Mobile not working. HTTP error 429 when logging into portal.

Same here.

I rebooted my pc and now I see the ISY. Not sure why that made a difference.

Isy finder cant find the ISY and when I try to open it it opens in iced Tea. If I open with JAVA web launcher the same thing. I can access the ISY through the portal.

I have suffered from this problem from day one where a couple of my light strips disconnect in the app and ISY and where you cant even turn them on or off with the button. The only way I could get this to work is unplug them then plug them back in. I did some searching on this and found someone who found a fix so I thought I would share this. Basically, you block WAN access to the devices and control them over an API. If you are ONLY using the KASA app, and not another controller such as HomeAssistant, SmartThings, Hubitat or whatever, this ISN'T going to work for you. Anyways, here's the steps to complete it for a user that may not be super savvy. 1. Login to your router and check the DHCP scope. It'll probably be 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.199 or something. Basically you want to ensure there's at least a good handful of IPs in the subnet (which is 1-255) that ARE NOT in the scope. Remember what they are. 2. Go to your DHCP leases table (or something like that), note down the IP addresses and MACs of the KL400's you're using. 3. Probably somewhere in the DHCP settings, you'll have somewhere you can "reserve an IP address by MAC". You want to then set all your KL400's to one of the IPs NOT in your DHCP scope (ideally). I'd keep them all together, such as .210, .211, .212, etc.. 4. Probably under firewall, or security, or something like that, you'll be able to "block" WAN (or Internet) access to those devices. 5. Done. The app appears to be causing a problem. After blocking internet access to each light strip I have not had a single disconnect! The lights still function with ISY and HA as well as the Kasa app.

Thank you so much, very helpful info which i never fully understood. Today I will check my programs to make sure it's set properly and see if that fixes the problem.

I dont have any automations setup yet on HA. 1. nothing corrupted that i could see 2. manually turning on the scene works Im running HA on my Synology NAS. Ok so here is what I see happening. I will use another example. My fountain is connected to the same key pad as the light but a different button. Both are set as controllers. I have a program that in the morning, turns on the fountain (set to turn on the fountain not the scene) a few days ago this was working fine and the keypad light came on when the fountain was running. Now when the program runs the keypad button does not light. When I turn on the fountain with admin console or UD mobile, the fountain turns on but not the keypad. If I turn the scene on then both come on. If a device and keypad are both controllers in a scene: 1. Should both turn on when manually clicking the on button of the device? 2. Should both come on when a program just tells the device to turn on? 3. Should both turn on when turning the device on with UD mobile or admin console? Also I tried deleting the scene with the light and re adding them and doing a restore on the light and the keypad and same thing. By the way, both the fountain and light are running off an insteon outdoor on off module. One thing I noticed for sure that changed when installing HA is when I added my ecobee thermostat, it changed my setting from "cool" to "heat and cool" and set my cool temp to 24c when I previously had it set to 22c. Thanks

I have a 8 button keypad that was working fine, when my outside light came on the keypad would light up. Have both set as controllers. After installing Home and added the ISY, the keypad wont light up when the light is on. I do have a different keypad that is still working fine for a different light. Any ideas? Thanks

Ok thanks

Is it possible to show wind in kilometers instead of meters? Thankd

Thanks guys

Just wondering if there is a node server that adds local weather info to the ISY? I dont mean that the node server itself is free but a free weather service. Thanks

I did the restore, deleted the scene, created a new one and made both controllers. So far its good. Thank you.

I have an Insteon outdoor module controlling an outside light. I have a 8 button keypad with button B that also controls the light. I have both in a scene (ive tried the light as a controller and responder). Sometimes when I turn on the light on and off, the outside light blinks on and off repeatedly in an endless loop. I have to go into admin console and disable the keypad to get it to shut off. Sometimes it works fine. Am I doing something wrong with my setup? Thanks
