My understating was that the Insteon Hub was a controller and PLM in one. Can a Hub be used as just a PLM?

Yeah, the Assignee handles everything on behalf of the now bankrupt company to make sure there is an orderly dissolution (if that's what is needed). It's usually court appointed and makes all the decisions on how to get the most money back to the Creditors while complying with any bankruptcy laws that may be in place. Every state is a little different, but the creditors could have required things like agreements to not file bankruptcy and had to use this ABC structure, etc. when they loaned the money. I imagine it will still take a long time to work through all this and the small frys will get pushed out for secured creditors, but the ABC would technically have a fiduciary responsibility to anyone who received this letter and is in fact a creditor. Not any legal opinion just my 2 cents.

I am definitely interested, I would need to be sure that all my custom python programs and such were seamlessly integrated. I don't won't to start over coding. CURL REST commands and the like working the same would go a long way. PS "Restore Device" seems to have been the final answer. Everything is now working as expected. I will have to wait and see if that sticks long term.

My Z-Wave Version is listed as 4.55.00 bootloader version 0.00. I only went on Mr. Bill's advice to go to C. It seems to be working. If 4.55 works with 5.4.3 I can do that upgrade too.

I did a "Restore Device" from the ISY admin console and it seemed to make the status start showing on the app and console. I guess I will have to see if this keeps up.

Ok, upgrade to 5.0.16c done. It still isn't getting updated status to the ISY. It works just fine if I switch it on from the Mobilinc app or from the admin console. But neither are showing status for the bathroom fans unless they are toggled from the programs and not the switch itself. Maybe I need to airgap the switch and re-add it to the ISY?

Awesome totally will do. Thank you a million for all the advice. Re-adding the programs worked for a bit, but then I found the real culprit. The status is not updating in ISY on the admin console. I am going to go ahead and upgrade, but I have to manually query to get the status to update (in the the console and the mobilinc app). Also the ISY Web Access is showing error, Loading: /config/ I wonder if I messed up a setting or trashed the config?

This world is upside down... However. I deleted all the non functioning programs and then just replicated them and viola. They all work just fine. So weird. They have been working perfectly for 6 years and with no apparent changes, and then just stopped.

Thank you for the detailed response. I upgraded to 5.0.16A sometime late 2020 early 2021. I never really had problems with it at the change over (other than the power on level of the lights changing with what time it was). I do have some yellow status "Out of Memory" that were for some old programs that aren't used any more (I think they were tied to an old node server, but could be mistaken). None of the programs in question are related to the yellow programs. I have replaced my PLM once a few years back, but that could be it. Noise would be weird too, but possible. I will grab another PLM to be on the safe side. I might try to upgrade the firmware again and see if that helps.

I wonder if there is a difference between. "'Upstairs / Master Bath / Master Bathroom Fan' Status is On" and "'Upstairs / Master Bath / Master Bathroom Fan' is switched On" I doubt this is causing the problem, but the programs were all written for firmware v4. I figure the less unintentional mistakes the better, right?

Master Bath Fan Cutoff - [ID 0007][Parent 000C] If 'Upstairs / Master Bath / Master Bathroom Fan' is switched On Then Wait 15 minutes Set 'Upstairs / Master Bath / Master Bathroom Fan' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I did a power cycle. Nothing changed. I just started a reboot from the my.isy page.

Firmware and UI v.5.0.16A EDITED the version Number

Hey All, I am having problems with Programs that haven't been touched in years. For some reason a few are not responding anymore. I haven't made any major changes to the system or network. The Last Run timestamps don't make very much sense for a lot of the programs, but the ones that aren't working are showing no timestamps at all. They will run if I right click and Run (Then). It is a mix of battery and wired switches. I power cycled the ISY, but nothing changed. It is definitely running a few programs correctly, but the majority are not running at all or are showing run when I know they didn't. Oh intermittent issues, how I love you.... Thanks for any suggestions.

I am very interested

Hey Ann, I think our post are similar enough to be in same thread. I have the identical set up and definitely have mixed zwave and insteon systems. You should have everything you need to set up any zwave device. My zwave locks do not require nodeservers and look/feel/act similar to insteon devices (some minor differences aside). I would be very interested to know if any heat pump compatible zwave thermostats exist and if they perform well. I think that we are both looking for the same thing. The nodeservers I have used are both good and bad and I think a native z-wave controlled unit would be, on par, easier to deal with. The only downside I have found with zwave is long distances from the unit can cause issues. I use a separate repeater for my locks at home and have no issues. The repeater was about $30-50 though.

Got it. Thanks again for helping out!

Awesome info, Thanks! Do you know which models are compatible with ISY?

I tried to search around and see if I could either find an Insteon 2732-242 or see if the Insteon 2441TH could now run a heat pump. So far it seems that neither are options. Does anyone have suggestions, alternative brands, or work-around's for heat pump systems?

This worked when the admin console icon was deleted off my desktop after upgrading to ISY v5. Thanks, Smith

I have been having some weirdness pop up into my system recently. Scenes seem to be the big one, but I have had issues with status' in the Mobilinc app too. My scenes have not been completing or responding incorrectly a bunch. I think I have a couple of faulty Fanlinc's that aren't helping, but it feels like issues are popping up everywhere. I have heard about PLM issues a bunch in this forum, but haven't had any in the 5 years since I bought it. Does this sound like a PLM issue? Does it normally just die? Should I be debugging elsewhere? My wife is seriously going to kill me, buying something else after the carnage that was Black Friday.

It seems like it will work. Thanks for the info. It does not work for my variable based Programs (It asks to turn the variable to 0-100%), but I switched it to the direct program isy category and it works. The scene isy category works the fastest for sure. All in all it should be acceptable.

Has this been improved at all? I have pretty complex series of events that take place when I enter my office. I would love to be able to say things like "Alexa, I want to exercise" instead of "Alexa, Turn Exercise On", or "Alexa, I want to work" etc. "Trigger" sucks just as bad for this.

P.S. GC does have a database of IR Commands. https://irdb.globalcache.com/Home/Database

I have a calendar of all my favorite sports and events. I would like to tell Alexa to "Turn on Sports" and have a program check the schedule of who is playing at that time and tune into that channel. Just kind of a no brainer way of watching what I want, especially since the channel guide is hard to control via IR and Alexa. I will probably make a command program since that has been the most stable program I have used for sending REST commands.
