Thanks for the followup. I think my SD card may be slightly corrupt. However, starting over with a new SD card will put my polyglot cloud Nest server at risk. I will have to live with the limited devices until hopefully Google and ISY start working together nicely again.

Thanks. I didn't notice that. Will reach out to Michel.

I changed my program to fast on/off for the scene with a 2 second delay and didn't see much of a change . From the Event Viewer I see that the program sends one command and then there are a bunch of acknowledgements....which I think is what is causing the problem when I add more devices. Once I get over 11 devices, the lights will blink for no more than 20-30 seconds before the ISY gets overwhelmed and the lights start blinking sporadically (or not at all).

Thanks for the replies everyone. I have now eliminated the folder conditions and left it as just the program which seems to work well. For example for my downstairs random lights: =================================================================================== Armed Away Security Lights - [ID 0215][Parent 0001] Folder Conditions for 'Armed Away Security Lights' If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Downstairs Hallway Lights - [ID 021C][Parent 0215] If Elk Area 'Home' 'Armed State' is Armed Away And From Sunset - 1 hour To Sunrise + 1 hour (next day) Then Repeat Every 0 seconds Set 'Downstairs Hallway' Off Wait 39 minutes Wait 21 minutes (Random) Set 'Downstairs Hallway' On Wait 4 minutes and 19 seconds Wait 42 minutes (Random) Else Set 'Downstairs Hallway' Off I still am unable to get lights to blink well. For example, I created a scene burglar alarm which has all the lights in the house. However, since this scene has 77 devices it does not work well at all. I created another "Downstairs Lights" scene with 35 devices but this also doesn't work well (needs over 20 second interval). I can get the Outside Lights scene to work with 14 devices but not on an interval less than 3 seconds. The best I can do is use the front lights on my house (11 devices) on 2 second intervals. When I add more devices for other lights it delays the blink and seems to overload the system after a few seconds. Has anyone been able to successfully been able to get a larger number of devices to blink faster or is this just a communication limitation with a large number of devices? Bedroom Blink Test - [ID 022B][Parent 0001] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Repeat Every 2 seconds Set 'Burglar Strobe Lights' On Wait 2 seconds Set 'Burglar Stobe Lights' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

So I got the random lights to turn on with the program above by removing the time based criteria on the folder. Thank you! Unfortunately, the light blinking doesn’t work for a burglar alarm event. .I’m not sure if I have too many devices that I’m trying to strobe or not...lights blink once or twice and then stop while the system is busy. I can get outside lights (3 lights on 3 second intervals only...nothing faster). I will play with a smaller subset of lights to see if that works better (I.e., lights visible from the street). Thanks!

That's a good question. I separated them for a burglar alarm under Alarm Stay but for the Alarm Away I will consolidate them all into a "Security Lights Scene"

I will make "Elk Armed State = Armed Away" the sole condition for the folder and then leave either sunset-1 to sunrise+1 or burglar alarm as the sole conditions for the programs. I will also try consolidating devices to 3 scenes (outside, downstairs, and upstairs lights) to avoid communication errors. Will revert back tonight to see if this works. Thank you!

Similarly I'm trying to get lights to blink in the event of a burglar alarm but this is also not working. =================================================================================== Armed Away Burglar Alarm - [ID 0225][Parent 0001] Folder Conditions for 'Armed Away Burglar Alarm' If Elk Area 'Home' 'Armed State' is Armed Away Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alarm Away Burglar Alarm - Downstairs Inside Lights - [ID 021F][Parent 0225] If Elk Area 'Home' 'Alarm State' is Burglar Alarm Then Repeat Every 0 seconds Set 'Downstairs Hallway' On Set 'Kitchen' On Set 'Main Stairs' On Wait 1 second Set 'Downstairs Hallway' Off Set 'Kitchen' Off Set 'Main Stairs' Off Wait 1 second Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alarm Away Burglar Alarm - Outside Lights - [ID 01D5][Parent 0225] If Elk Area 'Home' 'Alarm State' is Burglar Alarm Then Repeat Every 0 seconds Set 'Front Porch' On Set 'Roof Deck' On Set 'Garage Light' On Wait 1 second Set 'Front Porch' Off Set 'Roof Deck' Off Set 'Garage Light' Off Wait 1 second Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I'm trying to setup a few programs to run random lights if my Elk alarm is armed away. I set the folder condition to run from sunset to sunrise if the alarm is armed away but the programs in the folder aren't executing. The folder condition shows as true but the programs don't automatically run. Any ideas on how to get this to work? I'm running v 5.0.14 =================================================================================== Armed Away Security Lights - [ID 0215][Parent 0001] Folder Conditions for 'Armed Away Security Lights' If Elk Area 'Home' 'Armed State' is Armed Away Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Downstairs Hallway Lights - [ID 021C][Parent 0215] If From Sunset - 1 hour To Sunrise + 1 hour (next day) Then Repeat Every 0 seconds Set 'Downstairs Hallway' Off Wait 39 minutes Wait 21 minutes (Random) Set 'Downstairs Hallway' On Wait 4 minutes and 19 seconds Wait 42 minutes (Random) Else Set 'Downstairs Hallway' Off ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outside Lights - [ID 0216][Parent 0215] If From Sunset - 1 hour To Sunrise + 1 hour (next day) Then Set 'Front Porch' On Set 'Garage Entry' On Set 'Floodlights' On Set 'Roof Deck' On Else Set 'Front Porch' Off Set 'Garage Entry' Off Set 'Floodlights' Off Set 'Roof Deck' Off

Definitely don't have MobiLinc Connect.

Upgraded to 5.0.14 and everything seemed to be working fine. I rebooted the ISY today and I can no longer access it from the ISY portal or polygot cloud. The ISY shows as an X. I can log into the admin panel and access it through Mobilinc fine. Any ideas on what to try? Thanks.

Hahahaha. Sub accounts sound like the way to go...or I guess I can add some skills instead of using devices for some things in my setup. I will have to see what's easiest. My device count is being driven by a ton of programs with various network resources for my lighting, thermostats, directv, roku, sonos, multi zone receivers, and other various A/V equipment running through the ISY. Works great...until I ran out of devices...

Has anybody discovered how to expand Smart Home devices above 302? Is the only workaround subaccounts (i.e., first, second, third floor, etc...)? Is there anyway to copy devices out of the main account or is it necessary to recreate them all? Thanks.

Same thing just happened to me. None of my 5 dots are controlling my devices now. Really bizarre.

I have 5 Echo Dots and they have all been working great. However, all of a sudden tonight every command gets a "that command doesn't work on device X" Communication with the ISY seems fine (portal shows it's online, I can run the programs from my phone and they still all work, no other changes have been made to the system). The only thing I notice is when I go into my Alexa app and discover devices I see 25 devices that I don't recognize when sorted by newest. They appear to have spanish names...I have no idea what or where these devices are from. When I delete them, they reappear. Any ideas what's going on or what I can try?
