PLM surge protector?
See if your power company offers one that installs at the meter and does the entire house. Besides that benefit, it shouldn’t hurt your Insteon signal. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I do similar, but ignore time-of-day. Just run the lights for 30 minutes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Emails from ISY take minutes to my cellphone but seconds to regular email account
I have the same issue. Sometimes they come through immediately, sometimes it can take two or three hours. I believe it’s an issue with AT&T’s interface from mail to texting. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Need a new thermostat, recommendations?
If you’re going to control everything via the ISY (as I do), look into a Honeywell zwave unit. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Text Messages Not Being Sent
I’m was having issues where my 10pm “garage door open/close” text wasn’t showing up for hours. It always at 10pm, but for the past 2-3 weeks maybe 10, maybe 2am, etc. I put on a noon “hey, it’s noon” text and everything has been working fine since. I’m sure there’s zero relation, but maybe the process sending texts was having issues. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thermostat recommendation for ISY
If you’re running zwave, I have two of these in my house that work great. https://www.smarthome.com/honeywell-th8320zw1007-u-z-wave-touchscreen-thermostat-with-wiresaver.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Put z-wave in your ISY and keep trucking. I dumped my Insteon last time my PLM died and took the entire system offline. I’m through with Insteon. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Text message (sms) control of thermostat (and lighting)
If each iPhone has a different iTunes account, it's a separate purchase. You have to use a family plan to share the app. I've run into this with my GF. We aren't on the same iTunes account, so for her to use MobiLinc at my house (on her phone) means she has to purchase the product. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Automatic.com
It stays plugged in full time. I track all of my trips, and flag those that are 'business' so I can pull a mileage report as needed. I also use an app called "Dash Command" that allows me to get into the guts of the OBD and see what's going on. Automatic is 'ok'. It doesn't give you everything you want. No instantaneous mpg is one missing item. For what it does (as per the web page) it functions fine. Was there something you wanted it to do? Or want to know if it did?
