Your not going to believe this. Side story: Ok, sister calls me Sunday, her home network is dead since a power outage, cable tech is there, she just asks for help, I open the unifi cloud app, and her network comes up. Then the tech did a ‘pinhole reset’ on my unifi router and blew it up. So she just asked, and it worked.. typical.. Now. Today, all day, same results as I posted with my isy. However just now I goto http://192.168.1.195/desc and shizam, I see isy lingo. I open my admin Java app, shizam works, … All I did was ask for more ideas, and like all tech, it got scared and worked. I have changed no settings, I have not power cycled it… it did not work a few hours ago, for a few weeks, and now it does. This has got to be the matrix and us network techies are some virus the system is afraid of. I guess I should take a backup, then find someone to sell me one of these shiny newer polisy models, which are still not available? I’ll open a new thread about upgrading, pros, cons, etc.

sorry for the delayed response to your help. Went to the ER for severe allergies, couldn’t breath, turns out it’s congestive heart failure, heart only functioning 20%, and now I have my own defibulator vest, so I was out of pocket, lol! When I say I can’t reach any port.. I mean any tcp port, 23, 80, etc. I removed the static IP dhcp assignment from my router, rebooted the isy. My switch shows it connected, and my router shows 192.168.1.195, the expected IP. The ISY still operates my evening inside, and overnight outdoor scenes. However I am unable to icmp ping it, connect via a web browser, or the admin launcher, or manually reach port 80. I even went to far as to add a static ARP on my windows pc for it, and still nothing. sadly my last backup is just before I went into the attic and fixed, added, 3 insteon remote wire in modules Burried under the attic flooring. So reverting to that backup will not be fun, dooable, but not fun. so, any more ideas before I factory reset? With the failed network tests, I pondered even having it direct connect to a hub and my pc would probably not gain any results. it’s on a surge protector, behind a ups, behind a surge protector, on a whole panel surge protected, but we have had 3 or so odd neighborhood power blips.

The local admin console does not detect it as usual. I tried adding http and https :// 192.168.1.195 and got nothing. As for the isy portal, I use MobiLinq and it does not see the isy. Oddly it’s doing it’s AM and PM jobs. The switch shows connected. The router shows a dhcp allocation. Yet no ping or remote action. If I reset it to factory, and restored, sadly I’d be a few big changes back but that’s ok. At this point is there anything I can do to wake it up? Or do I need to do some factory reset?

And yes I confirmed the switch and IP on my unifi switch.

So I have a brand new problem. My ISY was acting funcky, not turning off all the nightly outdoor lights. Power cycled it. It’s working now, but I can’t ping or reach any port. Any idea how to debug?

I do have the isy, and the latest (ordered online) zwave module. Should I replace it with a polisy?

I see you said polisy hardware….. I want to update my isy 994. Is polisy a different piece of hardware?

So I was working toward getting a node.js + ambient weather going... and I decided to check latest firmware. I see I am running v5.3, and v5.5 is out. I also see v** has been renamed to Polisy. I read the docs on how to upgrade to 5.5, and they appear to cover just polisy. The suggestion of going to Configuration -> Update does not exist. I only have one option anywhere, thats to manually update firmware. I tried to look for perhaps 5.4 as some middle-ware. Couldn't find it. Does anyone have a simple howto on how to go from v5.3.2 (On my Isy994i) to the start or latest polisy? Thanks in advance!
