Ok thanks! I read that part but I guess I didn't grok. Google turned up mostly old posts. I guess where this becomes an issue is how can I manage my wife's android (I'm on IOS) to create these for both our profiles. Or do I have to create these manually on both?

So the garage door kit has two devices. The sensor to show if it’s open or closed. And a relay that you cycle to actually open/close the door. I am not finding a way to show the door status and not have to jump to another node. i have not yet looked at setting up Alexa but assume this being two devices will cause issues there also. I post in ID mobile because this confused my wife a lot and just want a simple experience.

Yes it is currently 5.8.4

I just finished migrating my polisy to esiy and followed the migration instructions. When I got to the portal migration everyting work around IFTT hooks but not anyting that uses the portal API directly eg the https://my.isy.io/isy/<bighuge UUID lookingthing>/rest didn't get migrated. So the few tools I had built that used this (I use the portal API because on my work computer when i'm on the VPN I cannot connect to the local eisy) I had to update the URL, but everything else was migrated so nicely thought I would share the heads up. To be clear this is the URL form the portal Information -> ISY Information

I just migrated from my polisy to esiy and tried to setup the wifi after the migration. I followed the instructions unhooked the wired network, went into the app, scanned, put in the wifi creds (verified with another device without issue) but but it fails with: error - .nic_status missing params Not end of the world I have wrired there from my 994/polisy there but sometimes I have had to move my controllers because of zwave issues and wireless gets me a port back and makes that easier.

Testing results, The LED lights don't have a plug on the end to dazy chain, so I took a small 5w Apple wallwart, and the wart from the eisy (I'm upgrading today from polisy) and used a splitter so the wart was in parallel with the LED lights the flashing remained. It ook a heavy resistive load, in this case a heating pad and in parallel with the LED's the flashing stopped. So I think that confirms it and that it works in parallel but the wallwart isn't sufficient for these lights. I took the multi-meter to one of the on/off outlets and when off they show 4-5V, not the 118V of the appliancelinc, I just assumed these were the same device just different form factor I guess now. So it looks like if I want to control these specific LED's wtihout having some other large load in parallel I need to not use the appliancelinc but replace the outlet with another on/off outlet which I have just I only need it seasonally. I do have spare outdoor on/off boxes I could try those nothing says you can't use them inside.

No it doesn't click without me pressing the button or controlling it from ISY. It was a comment that the relay is clicking and sounds right. So why do I have no issue with the on/off outlets? Do they not have these features are be more what you expect where the relay cuts all power to the outlet?

Ok I first though my ApplianceLinc was bad, but I found I had another one, both are older revisions of the 2456S3 V4.2 and V1.3 Both behave the same with these lights which is when on it's fine, when off they pulse every few seconds. I have newer on/off insteon outlets and have the same brand of lights in them and it works just fine. So it's confined to these old ApplianceLinc modules. I tried them both with a classic incandescent 60W bulb, and works as expected, just the LED Christmas lights do this. I put an multi-meter in the controlled outlet and I see voltage, when on ~ 121V, when off 118V, but why on the 60W would it actually shut off correctly? I would expect it to be on if it was stuck contacts, both make solid clicks. I thought it might be 'load sense' feature but following the manual https://www.electricbargainstores.com/v/vspfiles/PDF_spec/Insteon/plugin_modules/manual-2456S3.pdf Using the 60W bulb it doesn't work as expected, That is when I 'turn it on' with the tripple tap I never get the load going on and off (no clicks). Thoughts? Are these just to old and probably have some issue? I really don't understand seeing 118V when off but the 60W bulb goes off. That's why I started looking at the load sense, being unsure how that worked.

Ok I'm pretty sure it was a power event, I had a few other non-insteon devices around the house give up the ghost, was disappointed it was that one though because it's not available anymore. Through hole I'm comfortable with, surface mounts not so much. I guess I have nothing to lose.

I just had my EzFlora of many years die on me, it won't link anymore, I opened it up and didn't see any obviously burned components etc. It looks like the device isn't made anymore, and I'm not finding anything on ebay. I see several polyglot servers. What do people recommend? I need 8 zones, but would love to repair this if possible but not sure how to. Comfortable with soldering if there is a known 'replace this cap' issue with these. The board internally says Insteon Rev: A0 and the daughter board says EZRain PLM Thanks

Thanks all useful. I think this page: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/ISY_Developers:API:REST_Interface Insteon - /rest/nodes/<node-id>/cmd/DON/128 - turn on a scene to 50% (valid parameters = 0 - 255) Along with the Fade up, Fade down buttons in the ISY UI gives one the idea that you can dim a scene which we wnated to use for a virtual 3 way. Thanks

I am running into unexpected behavior when it comes to using the REST API (from my streamdeck) to set a dim level on an Insteon Scene. Specifically using the my.isy.io URL, if I use an on-level for any value other than 0 the scene is 100% Eg https://my.isy.io/isy/<snip>/rest/nodes/992/cmd/DON/64 (100% on, should be 25%) https://my.isy.io/isy/<snip>/rest/nodes/992/cmd/DON/0 (0% on) But if I do the actual device that controls the load https://my.isy.io/isy/<snip>/rest/nodes/3C FB 7 1/cmd/DON/64 (correctly 25% on) Any idea why I am getting that behavior?

Great ok thank you.

I noticed that I was having scheduled programs not running. I went and looked on the UI running 5.7 on Polisy and found all the programs disabled. A search of the forum didn't turn up anything. I had to manually enable around 100 programs, and I'm not 100% sure I enabled the right ones because I have a few that were to be disabled. Never seen this in ~ 8 years on the UD platform. Any idea what would have caused that? Plan to upgrade to 5.8 this coming week.

Thanks everyone,
