Log into the ISY Portal and click the "My Profile" tab in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Check which is your "preferred" ISY, and how the dialog box below that is set.

Have you tried selecting the device in the device dropdown? Fortunately the mini-remotes are all near the top of the list.

I have a handful of those, they do add. I suspect @lilyoyo nailed your issue. You do have the switch on as well? blinking green LED when you try to link?

1) You may already know this but, close the admin console when your not using it, it's not meant to be a 24/7 system monitor. Anytime something doesn't make sense to me the first thing i do is close the admin console and re-open it. 2) A good exercise to help troubleshoot your counts being off is to click on "my programs" at the top of the program tree, then right click and choose "Find/Replace" use Find to "step-thru" all uses of your variable $S.FH.Zone.Count and just step thru each place it's used to see if you've accidentally done something like used = where you meant += or -= or used += or -= in both then Then and Else of some program. I find it helps to step through each usage of the variable using that method rather than clicking between programs staring at each one. You might also find an entirely unrelated program where you accidentally selected the wrong variable. Another trick you can use to "log" every time a state variable changes for debugging is to create a temporary program using a condition that will always be true and then either email the change or send it to pushover. the program below will run THEN each time the count changes. If $S.FH.Zone.Count > -9999 then Resource send_count If you create a second application token at pushover to use with this program only the app will organize these all together in a separate folder. Of course send the value of the variable. You could also include not only the value of the variable but have separate lines with the state of each node that changes it.

The reason for all those questions is because the Z-wave dongle had a hardware change. V5.0.16C is the final version that works with the original 300 series board. The newer 500 series board is required for ISY firmware versions beyond 5.0.16C. So this puts you in the category of "it seems like you shouldn't be having this problem". Since you stated "I cannot check my Z-wave version because nothing happens when I click on "Z-Wave Dongle not responding" I think you should open a ticket with UDI support, you can do that by emailing support@universal-devices.com For what its worth: had the Z-wave | Z-wave version check worked.... Series 300 board reply version 4.55.00, series 500 boards reply with version 6.81.00. Another way to identify a 300 series board is to look at the back of your ISY, if you see a round circle next to Port A then shine your phones flashlight at that and see if it's really a blue LED (assuming the blue LED not lit up which of course makes it obvious)...If you have a blue LED next to port A then that is a series 300 board.

@jblackst5000 What version of ISY 5.0 firmware are you using? (Help | About) Does the UI version match? What version is reported when you select Z-Wave | Z-wave version? Did you also upgrade the ISY's firmware at any point during the PLM change?

Same here.... I was skipping this sub-forum and only scanning it every few days because i don't own anything android and I wasn't expecting an iOS announcement, by the time I found the post it was already full. I hope new slots open soon, making sure to check the new posts here everyday again.

It's not intuitive, but after changing the setting you must push the button to the left. Are you doing that?

Disclaimer: I've not tried nor tested, just located the option. I'm using V5.x firmware, if you're still using V4 Firmware, YMMV On the configuration tab in the clock box click change location. Choose one of the Brazil Locations, all of which state Daylight Saving Rule is OFF, or use a custom location and set the Daylight Saving Rule dropdown to OFF (located at the TOP of the list.)

@IT Solutions I can only say... I don't have ELK, so I can't comment on how ELK interacts within the IF statement, I do know how ISY works tho and I'd find it unusual that the 3 right click run don't behave as expected unless a folder condition was turning them off.

After I read that sentence a second time, it made me wonder about Folder Conditions... If the folder the program is in or ANY FOLDER ABOVE IT is False, Right click Run, Run Then or Run Else will be prevented. That's about the only way for a right click Run, Run Then or Run Else to not run.

I can't get mine to behave the way you're saying. Specifically i used this Program to Test: AA TEST - [ID 0103][Parent 0001] If Program 'AAA TEST' is True Then $stemp_test += 1 Else $stemp_test += 1000 When I started AAA TEST was false. Clicking this programs Run Then and Run Else from the RIght click context menu changed the color of the left bar on the icon every time. then I changed the value of AAA TEST to true and repeated alternating Run Then and Run Else, every time I did so it worked as expected changing the color of the left bar. Then I disabled the program above and continued to test... still not seeing the observations you are reporting. What is the content of the IF statement of the program that you don't think is changing? Perhaps its being re-evaluated immediately? I also just tried it with a schedule 8:00AM to 5:00PM and then clicked run Else and the band as expected turned red, even tho the schedule is still true. (Because the IF portion of a simple schedule is only evaluated AT 8:00 and AT 5:00PM and NOT constantly between those times.

I should add that you can use that program state, True or False in the IF statement of another program. If you have a program that should always be True or always be False or be True or False at a certain time, or certain time period, or maybe if variable $Test = 1 AND Program XYZ is False.... then..... else and so on...... Caveat: Watch out for Programs with identical names for example i have 8 or 12 programs all with the name "Alexa.on" but in different folder.... the If Program 'Alexa.on" is True phrase won't work. It Finds the first instance, not necessarily the instance you meant.

They show the state of the program, True or False... another way of thinking about it is which ran last Then or Else... very much similar to the full green or red folder, except they have already finished everything they will do until triggered again. Also means "Running" specifically running ELSE, whereas the all green version in your example is Running THEN.

It's been awhile since I was on V4, but it seems like V4.x to V4.y there's a prompt at the top of the admin console window that says firmware update available--And then clicking that or, something on help would download the file and upgrade automatically. I could be wrong it's been awhile and I don't see a page in the wiki showing that. Upgrading 4 to 5 or 5 to 5, you definitely must download the file and use the "manual upgrade" option on the Admin Consoles Help menu.

I initially read the bolded sentence below to mean the PLM wasn't being found, especially with the first sentence. However before I even his post I wondered if this was about finder not finding.... so I added the OR... The leased devices from Comcast are all-in-one Modem/Router/Wifi access points. The only case it could be a modem only is if its Customer owned modem, but if you've reached the point of buying a stand alone modem then you likely know you need a router too.

Oh and I forgot to comment on that statement. It is hard to find electricians that will touch an Insteon system. They don't have a clue, and the learning curve is high. My wife previously owned a high end lighting store. We actually stocked X10 for the DIYer's. X10 was much easier to understand, put this on B1 and this on B1 and they will (maybe) talk to each other, Insteon has to be linked and in simple 1:1 relationships its only difficult to do manually.... it more complex relationships you have to understand the ISY.

It would take me much more than "an hour or two explaining things". For the full picture there's ISY, Polisy, Insteon, Hue, Pentair/Autellis, Home Assistant, Rachio, the weather station, CAO wireless tags, and lately some Kasa.... It would take "an hour or two' just to get everything on new accounts or pass on existing accounts to new owners, and that's before anything has been "explained". And yea I really couldn't pic and choose which of those systems to leave behind because they all relate.... for example the CAO tags play a part in the fireplaces working via Insteon, and completed scenes bridge hue and insteon many places. Unfortunately it would take a very special buyer to understand and appreciate what's here. I wonder if your 30+ switches were really defective or just older single band devices that seemed to break because of noise.... that seems like an excessive amount of switches to die.

5.0.9 to 5.3.2 will be fairly straight forward.

My wife and I have been debating another move, which has had me debating this very question. I think I'm going to remove Insteon and ISY. My system isn't well documented and I suspect that it won't help sell the house. I may leave a few pieces behind, for example the lower patio when we bought the house had everything on one switch. I may leave the items the item that make that situation more livable, but I'll take the ISY. Other things like the sprinkler controller, and the liftmaster bridge I'll leave behind (newer liftmaster joins wifi without the bridge) As I said in another thread just recently, I don't want the phone call "hey most of the light switches aren't working", "Oh you must have plugged in something that generates line noise, start by unplugging everything", "no it's supposed to work"...... or worse a call from a real estate attorney. The other thread is in two pieces for some reason but see here and here for related reading.

It's always interesting to see who can recognize..... even with the graphic the younger set has no clue.... I'm not certain what method is employed to find the ISY on the network, but the finder isn't always good at it. My preference and I believe the best practice is to set an IP Reservation in your router, so that DHCP always gives ISY the same IP address, that way if finder comes up empty you know what to add without further ado. (I use easy to remember IP slots for devices that I might need to know the IP of...like 192.168.1.99 for the ISY) The funny thing is some routers want the reserved address outside the DHCP pool, some what it as part of the DHCP pool, and some don't care as long as it's an IP on the same logical network.

I can’t remember what the bugs in 5.0.9 were, and I doubt anyone else here can either, that version is a couple years old, and to be blunt—things were buggier back then. Please upgrade to ISY firmware 5.3.2 which is very stable. Caveat: If you have a 300 series z-wave board you must upgrade to 5.0.16C instead. If you have a z-wave board it’s likely a 300 series board based on the ages of the firmware that you’re randomly loading. UDI does have special pricing to upgrade the z-wave board.

I’m not sure what weird DNS problem or routing issue you were having. However the ISY is making an outbound connection to the portal, and doesn’t care what your IP address is. You mention port forwarding is still set up but that also has nothing to do with the portal. In fact, the one of the advantages of the portal is that you don’t need open ports/port forwarding. The portal truly doesn’t care what your IP address is. I have a dual WAN router. If my primary connection goes down the router automatically failsover to LTE, at which point the IP changes of course. I’ve tested repeatedly the portal and ISY don’t care, after a very brief period offline at failover, the ISY reestablishes contact with the portal.

The Insteon PLM needs to be plugged in first. Wait for the green light to be solid green....THEN plug in the ISY. or... do you mean finder appears on your screen but doesn’t find the ISY? That’s a different issue, in short look through your router interface and see if you can locate the ISY’s IP address, then use the ADD button in finder to add “http://w.x.y.y/desc” to finder, replace w.x.y.z with the IP address you found.
