Thank you Bumbershoot, that is it, I for some reason, went through the list but not expecting the first item that you referenced as I assumed that it had nothing to do with the display. AS they say , never assume..... makes an *** out of me!! Thanks

Did you ever solve your problem? I think I am having same issues!

does the console message on the Java mean anything..or maybe the cause for the hangup? Getting stuck on this screen on the authenticate, I am not sure if it is showing correctly,

Thank you for helping. But unfortunately, that did not help. The parameter was originally empty, tried -Xm512m and same thing, I even tried -Xmx, -Xmx1024m and these caused the java app to crash. But looking on my activity monitor it is only taking up 300mb of memory and room to spare DOES IT matter that I am on ISY 4.8.0, probably not the latest firmware Similarly when I pull up the Dashboard, it just hangs with spinning ball. With Admin Console, I get a couple tabs other tab but the active tab its Autheticate ISY but can't enter password due to hang,

Thanks, that makes sense, I am getting the same results, seems like I was using the same java, but the launcher is only a different interface, but even using the launcher method, I am getting the same hanging and noticed it loads on my CPU.. I tried troubleshooting the JAVA even including all the steps of shutting down apps, and widgets that may interfere such as those applets in the accessiblilty and even shutting down all non-apple top menu bar quick access applets. The only time I was able to get in early is launching it and leaving the computer alone for like 10 min and coming back to it. I guess I will try that now..I even tried restarting...but given all the discussion on similar issues, it seems pretty obvious we should maybe look to get away from using JAVA. Don't know if that is even possible. But seems like the life of ISY would be limited if it has to be dependent on JAVA especially given MS windows share seems to be dwindling..

Can you be more specific, the link specifically points to replacing PLM, I assume you were not referring to that. "ISY Launcher" you be more specific. The pictures at the top of the web page is what I want, yes, I was able to access that using the JAVA about an hour after waiting for a long time for JAVA to respond, but now I can't log back in to make a simple change to my programs..due to the Java launcher hanging!

It has been a while that I have touched my ISY, but occasionally want to update parameters, so due to lack of regular use. What is the best way of connecting to admin console on MacOS. Previously I clicked on the Admin.jnlp but it is very sporadic and mostly just hangs!! at the authentication where I can't enter my id and password as it is mostly just in hang mode, I noticed then my CPU Fan cranks up. I read a lot issues with it, but is what I am going through normal on MacOS?? What is your suggestion or simplest procedure to login into the Admin console on MACOS? Also Noticed it behaves differently on Chrome vs Safari, which is the recommended browser to access portal or is it necessary, just direct use of the JAVA?

thanks Indymike, makes sense. So the device is not replying 3 times. I tried factory reset, and removed some noise potentials. no go. Will replace. thanks.

Well it seems like my old 2486D has gone out and needs to be replaced. I was using it as a 8 button with primary control as dimmer to kitchen lights. Seems like there are discontinued. I see 2487S on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Insteon-Dual-Mesh-Technology-Unbeatable-Reliability/dp/B005CDXGD8/ref=sr_1_5_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1544764384&sr=8-5-spons&keywords=insteon+keypad+dimmer+2334&psc=1 but does it do dimming and can it convert to 8 keys, or is my only option of 8 keys are https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DMBJAOG/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza?th=1 what is the feature difference between the two models.?

Can anybody make any sense of this, now ISY seems to be working did a whole system restore still only having problem with 0F.C0.6A, tried restore to device same thing. Any ideas?

mwester: I think you are right, I was finally able to remove it from ISY by restarting ISY, but when I try to relink it, the response came back at V.00 cannot determine Insteon engine. So I think maybe the firmware is wiped out. I will play with it a bit, really don't want to do rewiring, but looks like I might have to reorder one.. Thanks

HI all, I have not touched my setup for a coupe years, so out of practice. Today found my main wall switch keypad 2486 that is not working. I looked on my iSy and it has exclamation marks next to all 8 buttons. I tried all types of of commands of restore, update and delete, nothing. Did a factory reset and originally just button one would work, now when when I do a factory reset on the with, it come up all off, as soon as I push button 1, then it the light turns on but will not go off. All the linked other switches are not commanding this main keypad. I also can not remove the device from my isy. Does not seem to respond to anything on ISy. I am guessing the keypad is bad, but wanted to check the forum before I buy another one and do the rewiring. Wondering if I am not doing some resetting correctly. What is the proper factory reset with ISY as I can't see to remove the 2486D from my ISY dashboard, what do I do to remove it if I do end up replacing it. Thanks

I am getting confused with the intergration of Insteon, ISY and MobiLinc and now Echo. I previously had everything working with MobiLinc Module installed and working to control insteon with IOS MobiLinc app. However, now trying to integrate Echo Voice control with the system and getting confused as what is necessary. from what I read, I guess either through ISY Smarthome Skills OR MobiLinc Skill. Seems like the two can not co-exist (pls confirm if true). Question: 1) If I use Mobilinc Skill, do I need Mobilinc Subscription? It seems kinda costly to simply enable voice for $30 per year. Is there a way around this. 2) If using Smarthome Skill, I need to enable internet access, and it will not work. Is it because I lack a certificate? 3) To enable smarthome skill, apparently, I need to diconnect from the Mobilinc Module. Does this break the operation of the Mobilinc Pro ios app to control the Insteon.? Basically, what is the easiest method to do echo integration with ISY, and hopefully you dont have to pay yearly subscription, and what are the differences between the two methods. Advantages and disadvantages of both methods? Thanks

Hi guys, I have a 2411T insteon IR transmitter Rev 1.05 that I finally got around to playing around with. I am a little confused how to set it up as sometimes it works but other times not with my Phillips TV on/off Questions: 1) Does this rev 1.05 work with ISY latest? as I read some old posts that there were incompatibility issues, is this solved and can it work with this rev? 2) when device is added to my ISY, it shows 16 devices or IDs. So when I program the ir codes and tap the set button to test the IR code, how do I know which one it is being called? So is there only 1 "code" or 16 of them that can be addressed and called, and how to I target an individual one? 3) on the ISY programs, the options for the 2411T are different duration beeps, what does this mean? Any help would be appreciated, i feel like I am missing some info that I am not getting from the manuals Thanks

Hi Guys, I have tried everything and no dice. I did try Keep and remove the "/" in the path Encoded URL, no encoded Timeout all up to 10000 and used your authorization and also set my own password and with no password. All the variation did not work. However, in the latest software, I was able to just set it on the computer to sleep after a time of no activity, which makes it automatic, which is essentially I wanted it to do to save the stress on the computer and electricity. So it is late, I have to give up, but either way, huddadudda it was a good fine, as I can sleep my computer automatically eventhough it is frustrating not getting it to work with ISY. I will be following this post as I hate having an unsolved problem. Thanks again guys

HI, Thanks. I tried the previous version that you are on, and it does not require user password. But this does not solve my problem. Screen shot of my setup http://screencast.com/t/qBDfGuCkE screenshot of error message when tested in networking module http://screencast.com/t/7w6enUwrYAX i have confirmed that when I go to http:192.168.1.174:8000 it does take me to the web interface of the software. somehow I am either not setting it up correctly or there is a communication issue between isy and airytec. I have also confirmed that the MAC and IP address are setup correctly within the ISY WOL setting Also, my WOL does work, i have also other network programs that are working well. Michel, any suggestion on the network error message?

hi huddadudda Sorry for the late reply, I meant to get to it and got distracted>..... But great find. Exactly what I was looking for, unfortunately, could not get it to work. Did you enable web interface as stated here http://www.airytec.com/en/switch-off/faq/how-to-shutdown-or-restart-pc-remotely-from-any-computer-or-mobile-phone.aspx I assume so, but with this latest version it forces a password which I think is causing the ISY to hang and give me a timeout error. Since I can not turn off the password requirement, I can not verify this is cause for the ISY error. Can you tell me if you are using the old version which does not require a password, and if so, is this a security issue, unless you can control only local network access to 8000 on the router. (if my assumptions are correct) Can you confirm?

Thanks LeeG for clarifying.

LeeG, I have read the manual and did not run across any comments about not doing any factory resets? Out of curiosity what is the reason for this? Michel, I did notice a 1010 icon on one device, I did a query and nothing, I did a rewrite and got a error message about inability to write to device. I did try a different SD card one time but it was a 256MB card, and if I recall correctly, I believe I got the same result, so I assumed it was not the SD card and went back to the original. I need to confirm this again. How do I submit a ticket for a replacement card? if you still believe this is the problem. I will test with my 256MB card if you need me to do it again.. Thanks. UPDATE: I just reformatted (FAT32 on win7) both 256MB card and the original 512MB cards and both gave me same results. I also did a chkdsk on the original card and seem like all the sectors were ok, but it said something about time stamp not valid on the files.

My box started acting up. First, I noticed that the programs were not functioning, when I went to check it using the browser, I noticed that the programs were not there(I had about 15 program). I then did a restore, then it crashed and would not reboot or reconnect PWR, RX, TX green lights on and error red light flashing. I did multiple hard resets and factory reset with pushpin, and same results. (no communication with box thru shell or browser) I removed the memory card and reformat, same result with error ligths, but after multiple times, somehow I got it to do a factory reset, loaded new firmware, then restored from backup. all working fine, and then when I tried to reset, it did the same thing, same error lights I repeated the formatting and after multiple resets, was able to get it communicating and working again. i let it sit overnight, unplug power and then same results. Error lights again. I had the system stable and untouched for a few months and all of the sudden this. Any ideas?? thanks

Would you mind sharing some details of how you did this and how involved it is. I was hoping that there was a network command that ISY can send that once the computer senses it would perform sleep or power off like WOL. I also discover that the WOL does not wake the computer up from sleep state, only turns it on, is this normal? Thanks in advance

Has anybody figured out how to shut down a computer using the ISY networking module? I got it to do WOL but now how to I put it to sleep or power off? Thanks

Hi all, I got a 99i/IR over a year ago(SN#5592), i had it working fine but then I moved houses and now having problem getting the ISY99 working in my new home. I do the www.universal-deivices.com/99i and I got the java screen but none of the functions work including the about, only shows the copyright info and the login does not work, my error light on the ISY is blinking, pwr/rx/tx is green but memory light is off. I think the PLM is working correctly as the LED is steady on, and when I send an insteon signal in the house, the PLM light blinks. On the ISY i tried factory reset, same result I tried formatting the SD card, same result. I tried different CAT5 Cables same result. I tried rebooted, modem, router, PLM, ISY same result. My router does not see the ISY so I do not have an ip address to the ISY. So any ideas what is going on? thanks

Hi sub-routine, thanks for the reply, but looking at the developers forum was discouraging...as the discussion were more technical than i know. InterfaceGo, looks like a great product, but my goal is to do all this with my iphone through a web page. Why use interfacego when i carry around a webpage all day long and I don't have to pay for another device or have the pc on. bpwwer, thanks for the post, very interesting. I have conceptually thought about this as it would be nice to have a 24 hour chart to verify that thermostat and lighting are happenning at the right times and operating correctly. I have to keep this as a future reference as it is a "luxury" feature for me right now, because I have yet to figure out the basics of programming. But definately will keep your example for reference once I am up to that level. My situation is that I am just learning to program and know the basics of html, php and css. But have done a few websites by playing around with opensource code. So my hope is that some one would provide an example for a web page using REST to simply turn insteon on and off, or similar tasks, so that I can use the template to learn from.. Thanks to the community for all the help..
