IMO Yes. When I used Gmail I started getting pop up advertising from subject matter of a SPAM email. I swore off GMAIL completely. I dislike google with a passion (but you already know that).

The point of my post is there should be a better way. It would solve your problem too. A nice Upgrade status display in the Admin Console near the button. Or if that's not possible because the admin console needs to close, push text out on a specific port so the user can open a web browser to something like http://ip.of.my.polisy:4357 then press the button and see upgrade status in the web browser. (HA user's might recognize 4357 spells HELP on the phone dial and is the HA Port that Supervior uses to display system status) Doing something like that would enable specific upgrade status messages.

Hope I never have to answer the question how many times did it beep, because I will never know that answer. Can't hear them and the hardware is nowhere near where I would be hitting the upgrade button.

Not necessarily, there are two procedures available to you. Factory reset the device, then select it in the device tree, right click, pick restore device. --OR-- Delete device from ISY, Factory Reset, re-add to ISY. Which you pick depends... if it's only a device issue, the first is fine. If the links in the ISY are incorrect for some reason then you need the second.

do you mean that SSH doesn't connect, or that your login credentials are not accepted?

It looks like the node name changed. ${sys.node.n004_temperature.ST} replace the RED portion with the white text from your screenshot n004_78633 (if I'm correctly reading the screenshot)

That should work just fine as written. If you're not receiving a notification, perhaps your notification features aren't set up correctly. Also check your spam folder. If you're attempting to send the notification to one of the cellular carriers text gateways, those are notoriously bad and often delay or delete messages. My suggestion to test the notification process would be to delete the Wait line from then, resave the program then right click the program name in the program tree and pick "Run Then" you should receive the notification right away.

@Murphy the network module is still available for a 994, but that's not the best way to buy it, instead purchase a portal subscription and it will get turned on also. As far as getting to the correct screen to buy it the UD website has a bit of a bug to get there. First select Help > Purchase modules and log in. Now go back to the admin console and select Help > Purchase Modules a second time, finally after the new broswer tabs opens click "My Products".

We can help you put the jigsaw puzzle back together, but we need to see all the pieces not just the hole.

looks like it was the status of a switch. What is the program supposed to do. Copy and paste the full program. Right click the program name, the last option on the context menu is Copy to Clipboard, paste it into a forum message.

I said they were .wav's before but I stand corrected after trying to find them... they are .mp3's from a free site (Pushover uses .mp3 which is apparently very similar to .wav-- according to google "The difference between MP3 and WAV is a matter of “compressed” or “lossless” formats. MP3 is compressed, and WAV files are uncompressed. The answer is this, you want WAV files for editing a podcast, and MP3 files for distribution (think iTunes). To draw a visual comparison, images can be high and low resolution." Frog-sound-ribbit.mp3 quack.mp3 quack.mp3 Frog-sound-ribbit.mp3

I actually only use it one program, but that program runs a program a couple of minutes after startup that starts all the heartbeats and monitor programs. Long story short I was battling startup errors at some point and had to find a way to make some things start later.

correct. on most revisions, it's possible add a second node with 'options' button to reverse the logic i.e. closed is on and open is off, but if you attach a scene to either node you get both on and off.

That might well be related. If you're not using tags you need to stop the wireless tags node server, and to keep it stopped after a reboot it really needs to be deleted from polyglot. Custom Control 14 = GV14 and all mine are showing zero whereas your seem to be importing a large value. Don't know what to make of it, but stop and optionally delete the node server if you're not using tags at the moment.

no. The scene will turn on when the door opens and off when the door closes. The only way you can get On on Open only without turning off on close is to us a program.

Set "Run at Startup" attribute for that program on the Programs > Summary tab, and leave the IF blank. You might want to vary, or not always use Repeat every 10 minutes, so that you don't have them all running at the same moment. or throw in a wait X seconds between the "then" and "repeat" to stagger them by a second, a couple at the same moment won't cause a problem but if there were a lot it could, well at least with a 994.

mentioned that above, here it is again: if you can't pick the runaway out of the non-idle programs then post the running programs and we can help you identify which one. (to post programs: right click the program name and pick "copy to clipboard" (the last item) and then paste into a forum post.) Hint tho: if a program says 'running' via the activity column and it has a long 'wait' statement in it, it's probably not that one, waits are idle time. Another hint sometime I've seen where it actually looks like "running" in the activity column is flashing... that's likely a runaway.

I have a frog ribbet and duck quack that I use with the notification node server. I like both because they're short and I notice them (I have trouble hearing high pitches) and they are different than other cell phone noises, so I instantly know what it's telling me. Not sure what free site I downloaded them from. I also use the AOL instant messenger door open sound as a door chime sound. And for a good chuckle the mailbox opening sound is AOL's "You've got mail" Not sure if those fall in the public domain or not but I got each of them from a free .wav site.

You already solved your issue, but just to comment, the test button only works after something was saved using the save button to its left. You must also select a row to test first.

Program FOLDERS don't accept an entire program they only accept a condition (i.e. and IF statement). There is no THEN or ELSE for a folder Condition. click on "My Programs" (or whatever the folder name is at the top of your program tree if it was changed or migrated from very old ISY versions), then in the right side of the window add your "if $Init_1 is -99999999" Once you press the 'save' button, that will make the "My Programs" folder false and nothing below it can run. (For those reading along, yes folder conditions are powerful, but they can also be trouble if you're not used to there effects. If a program condition is false nothing below it will run, not manually or not when run by another program.... it's the equivalent of completely deselecting the entire tree below that point. The moral: use with care, it's not like a regular program IF statement.)

Create condition that will never be true and apply it to your "My Programs" folder. i use "If $cTrue = $cFalse but you can use anything for this test, pick a variable that you already have established and do something like "if $Variable = -99999999" This will temporarily stop all your programs from running. Did the ISY immediately get better? If so, then you have a run away program. To find the runaway, remove the program condition when it's at a snails pace again, view the program summary tab and sort by activity column. anything not idle is a suspect. An Example of a runaway program: if $stateVariable <> 0 then $stateVariable =+ 1 else <none> that program will count very fast and slow down your ISY.

@ccclapp Specifically what java did you install? The only supported java distribution is Java 8 from Oracle, available at https://www.java.com . Don't use any other version, Java 8 is current and receiving updates.

In addition to @Geddy's comments... Specifically when you think you are changing your password what is showing in the URL of the browser? do you see https:/IP.ADDR.OF.POLISY:3000/profile with emphasis on portion in red?

Since we are discussing the Insteon comeback in a single thread over in the Smarthome section, and this thread was dormant for two weeks prior to drifting off topic, it looks like a good time for @Geddy to lock it.

@Michel Kohanim Do I understand this correctly? That no one will be able to replace faulty hardware without re-buying the node servers they use?
