Device links table: 0:0ff8:00 00 00.00.00 00 00 00 ISY links table: shows same as above with my PLM listed twice RF is no problem thru whole house. I am using three remotelincs and they work anywhere plus from outside.

Oh by the way also using latest firmware 3.3.10

I am in the same room with an access point so RF is not a problem. In the ISY it does not initially show any status on or off for the wet or dry. Shouldn't it show wet as off and dry as on by what I have read here so far? And then when it contacts water it will show on for dry and off for wet. I have also tried in direct water but still no status. Thanks

I just received my Leak Sensors. I was able to add to the ISY994i/pro and it sees the two nodes wet and dry. I am not getting any status for on or off showing in the ISY. I put sensor on wet paper towel and LED flashed no on status showing. I then tried by pressing the set button and still get no ON or OFF status. I purchased six of these and tried two with the same results. What am I doing wrong???

Just recently purchased the 994i/pro to upgrade from the 99i/pro. I had updated the 99i to firmware 3.3.8 and all was working fine. I just replaced my 99i with the new 994i/pro and thought all was well until I noticed that I am no longer getting real time status of off or on status with any of my Insteon modules. I have to query the item to get it's status. Also I noticed that some of my programs are no longer working properly. I have a motion that tuns an outside light on with a program to turn the light off after ten minutes but the light stays on. I am using the same PLM that I had on the 99i and I did a restore PLM but no change. I loaded the new 994i/pro from a backup done just before removing the 99i/pro. Don't know what to do next. Everything was fine till going to the 994i/pro. I guess I should have left everything alone with the 99i/pro because I had that working for a very long time with no problems. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

I have been using a piezo sounder connected to the 5vdc output of the Iolinc and it works better than an X10 chime. Brand is philmore and they come in continuous sound #B818, On/Off #B819 or Hi/Lo #B820 cost about $6. It has been working great for about year and a half now no problems. These are rated for 3-20vdc starting at 6ma draw. Found some here online but I bought mine locally at an electronics parts store. Hope this helps. http://www.intertexelectronics.com/Phil ...

Ok my Elk and ISY are now communicating with each other. Universal Devices has great tech support. They go out of their way to help. Thank you very much Michel!

Michel, I have not had time to contact the support team. What I have done was upgrade to 3.1.1 which did not change the ELK problem. I then did the 3.2.2 upgrade with no luck. I went back to 2.8.16 and ELK problem went away and I can again arm and disarm the system from the ISY admin console. I then downloaded the 3.2.0 upgrade again and installed. Again can't control ELK panel. I do have the ELK module installed. Any ideas anyone?

Michel, I do mean the Elk Console button at top of ISY screen . I can connect to my Elk panel thru ELK RP software and it does see the ELKM1XEP. I can control and make changes to my ELK thru RP software. I have static IP set up for my ELKM1XEP and that is what I have in the ISY. Thanks again for your help

Also can not go to ELK Console

Michel, I did put in a four digit code that I use to arm and disarm my panel. I also have two other four digit codes that are used and I tried each one and neither one works. I have the correct IP address which I can ping. I have 2101 for the port number which is also setup in my M1 panel. It was working fine in firmware 2.8.16. Thank you for your quick response.

I have loaded the new 3.2.0 beta and now I can no longer arm or disarm my Elk M1. I do have the Arm stay, Arm away, Disarm and Go to Elk Console at the top bar. None of these work now but they did before. I did have 3.1.7 loaded before and it didn't work then either so I was waiting to see if other people had the same problem. I saw 3.2.0 and thought that would fix it but no. Any thoughts on what is happening. The control did work when I had 2.8.16 loaded. Thanks

Michel, When will there be a final release above firmware 2.8.16? I have purchased the ELK module but have had problems in the past with beta releases so I am putting off going to 3.1.16. I have the ELK panel and can't wait to integrate it with my Insteon lighting control. I am currently at 2.8.16 and it has been working great for a long time. I know the ELK module will not work with 2.8.16 so I am itching to upgrade my firmware to get full use of my ISY. Thanks Dennis

Any word on support for the remotelinc2 in 2.8.16. I know it is supported in the 3.1.10 beta but I have already dealt with all kinds of headaches from the beta releases and will not go there again. My ISY is and has been working great for a long time now and I don't want to mess it up. I am still confused as to why there is two versions of firmware for the ISY. The 3.1.?? versions are always listed as beta. Are these the tests before a newer 2.8.?? comes out? I now have about 24 Insteon devices and the ISY is great for managing them all. UDI support is also the best.

I did the upgrade to 3.1.6 and all seemed to go fine until two days later I realized that my notifications were no longer working. I checked things out that night to see why and found several problems. Notifications not working, some items not showing status so because of that certain programs not working properly, time zone messed up, not all my items are showing up in main menu, and at login to admin all my battery operated items are not seen and I have to click OK to each one. I decided to go back to 3.15 since that was working perfectly for a long time. I should learn from past problems to leave things alone if they are working. I first restored to back to 3.1.5 then used my backup from 3.1.5 to restore. Things were still screwed up so I reset the ISY then tried the same again by loading 3.1.5 then my backup from 3.1.5 and still having same problems. I am giving up and finally realizing that this thing is becoming too much trouble. I do not have time to be constantly reprogramming everything. I hate to have a PC on all the time to do my Home Automation but I think I may just have to go to a software solution. Anyone else running into same problems? I HAVE GIVEN UP! Do not have time for this.

I reloaded my ISY back to version 3.1.4 and it fixed my notifications. No matter what I did in ver 3.1.5 I could not get the notifications to work. I have learned something here and will not do new firmware updates with a Beta release.

I am having same problem with notifications not being received. Did a test and getting error message mail server failure.

I have updated to 3.1.5 with no problems. I tried to change the number of columns under the settings option but it doesn't make the change. It always shows as one column. How is this feature supposed to work?

Sorry i meant 2.8.16

OK I'm confused. I thought that 3.1.1 was the newest firmware update now i see 2.8.26 is out. Whats up?

Michel, I was able to finally get the upgrade from 2.8.16 to 3.1 to take. What I did was clear all my history and cookies from my browser and the update took but just a few seconds. The ISY is a great product with great support behind it. I am an old time X10 user from back in the 70's. Switched over to Insteon about five years ago. Your ISY product is light years ahead of any controller X10 could ever come up with. Thanks for your quick replies to questions. Dennis

Michel, I have just tried the upgrade again from a new clean install of windows xp. Nothing else loaded on this laptop. Errors start at anywhere from 3% to 17%. I don't know when I could have time to get on phone for help with this. Just seems to be strange that something so simple is not working the way it should. As I said before I have done several upgrades before this with no problems following my same sequence. Your support here is always great. Thanks

Michel, I am having problems again with firmware upgrade. I followed all of your instructions from previous posts with no luck. I tried this on three different computers all running Windows XP using FireFox. ISY currently at 2.8.16. Two errors coming up at different percents of load such as 3% up to17%. Error 1 = Sockect open Failed java.io.IOException:An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. Error 2 = Upgrade Failed: Failed uploading file (reported written size invalid). I did a power off of the ISY and PLM still nothing. My ISY has been working great otherwise. Sorry I have to keep bothering you but it seems that the upgrades just don't work all the time for me. I was able to do a few in the past with no problems. What I am i missing or doing wrong? Thanks Dennis

Just tried to update to new 2.8.15 come up with two errors at about 6% thru: upgrade failed:Invalidlength and Socket open failed java.IOException:An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. I did the 2.8.14 update last week and it went just fine no problems but can't load 2.8.15.

Michel, I did as you said and it worked. Did the upgrade to 2.8.10 and all is good. Only problem with upgrade was it did not take on first try. I had to do it twice. Thank you for the help
