@epete Post your actual programs, too much is lost in the translation here. If they are all in a folder, right click the folder and pick copy folder to clipboard (the last entry).. then paste into a forum message.

What I posted was the example from the ISY Cookbook that epete said he was using. I suspect the program as entered in his ISY is missing a "not"

Insteon network speed is very slow by nature.... I don't know if you're old enough to remember 300 baud dial-up modems but the actual speed the signal travels from PLM to device over the powerline is really slow, mostly likely something like 300 baud was. And yes there's not much traffic management, especially with links controlling scenes (as opposed to direct device control). Each device in a scene doesn't answer back... it either hears the signal and responds, or doesn't hear and thus doesn't respond. My advice would be to take advantage of the feature that Scene's can overlap, and simply have one timing sequence for scene A with all the devices that need to be timed, have a Scene B that repeats the device that may need manual control. That's an Insteon feature, scene's aren't rigid.

that might be Apple's method of battery saving. I note that when leaving the house it takes about the same distance as you mention to "leave" but when returning it triggers about as expected. It may "sleep" more when you're not moving fast, as you move faster in a vehicle updates may be more frequent. We don't really know because Locative is actually only the interface... the geofence itself i believe is an iOS function.... at least I think that's what I learned while studying the great iOS broke geofences in iOS15 scandal.

I labeled the one in use, but didn't label the others. I suspect the reason they have jacks on the back was a thought "it might be good for something, why not?" You don't login as root in FreeBSD... you login as a user, admin in our case and use sudo, which admin does have permission to use. You can also 'sudo su' which will start a shell with the login name root, but that's not commonly used, mostly 'sudo ____' is used for commands that require elevated permissions. The concept is to eliminate accounts named root, which tend to be targets for hacks.. that said... i think the button pushing updates will undo most changes you could make with sudo... the idea being ease of support... they can tell you push the button X times to return the machine to a known state. You must have a later model! ??

I don't know whether @Michel Kohanim will weigh in on this or not. Usually however computers with multiple Ethernet ports are used for bridging different networks. In residential installations this doesn't happen often, but it could. In commercial installations it's somewhat common for secured networks where one jack is the internet connection and the others have to route traffic through the device with multiple networks so that that device can limit traffic and/or inspect packets in some way. Perhaps the thinking for Polisy having multiple networks was so multiple networks for iot devices could exist. For example if someone had 230 wifi lightbulbs (say in a church maybe ?.. someplace with lots of chandlers) one of those ports might be used to plug in a separate wifi network that doesn't really need direct access to anything but the ISY. I suspect the real reason they exist was the network card interface was chosen for other reason and happened to have multiple network capability and the design decision was made: "why limit capability? it might be useful someday" Check back in 2026 and see if there's software implementing any of them ? It would be nice if they would have been labeled Primary Ethernet, Expansion Ethernet port B, Expansion Ethernet Port C

I don't use this type of heartbeat program, but I took a look at the cookbook programs, and I can't see where it would send normal status. What is the value of the state variable for that leak sensor? If it's 1 then I suspect the program that looks like the one below is missing a "NOT" for that sensor. I prefer a much simpler single program per sensor for Insteon Wireless device heartbeats.

It works, I think it's @Bumbershoot that used it to take the ISY to the z-wave device for programming, instead of bring the z-wave device to the ISY... maybe he can add how to do it. The wiki doesn't mention much.

The network module existed before the portal. At that time there was only one way to buy it. $49 one time fee. The portal is a renewable subscription (not a one time fee) at about $1/month (there are different payment options). "Mobilinc Connect" and "ISY Portal" are two competing portal products. "portal" allows connection from outside your local network without opening router ports. It provides a cloud address as an entry point to your ISY, and your ISY is making an outgoing connection to let you in from the outside. There can only be one portal connected to the ISY at a time. Mobilinc Pro, Mobilinc HD, Mobilinc X and UD mobile are apps that run on your phone. Mobilinc products, the apps and Connect, are produced by a 3rd party, not universal-devices. Mobilinc Apps can be used with the ISY portal, however with Mobilinc X I believe there is a fee for doing it that way. UD Mobile and ISY portal are both products of Universal-Devices. likely California, maybe Texas. Most of the grid doesn't share info from the electric meter to customers devices, but there are a few places.

I"m glad you posted. All I've been able to post was that I knew X10 wasn't working in early versions of IoP and that I didn't know if that was a bug that had been corrected or it was deprecated. glad you had the answer to this, for some unknown reason last week X10 kept being brought up.

Right click either outlet at pick “restore device” and let the ISY rewrite the links. You can also try factory resetting the device then use the same procedure to rewrite the links to the device, right click and pick “restore device” also try a 15 second delay. you can also overlap scenes. Scene b can have the remote in it to just control that half the outlet. Scene A can have both outlets, and the timing then only needs one program controlling one scene.

I give locative “always” access, it’s not a huge drain on the battery. I never notice Locative on the list of heavy battery users. There’s three ways to use Pushover. The old method, which is the wiki link you posted. There are also two polyglot node servers, one is called Push and it is simpler and I believe free under PG3. Then @JimboAutomates created another that’s more feature rich called Notification. As far as I know Notification is the only method that will retry on some error conditions. I’m at the end of a long Comcastic cable in a rural area, it’s not uncommon for me to have some packet loss.i used to send some of my notifications to myself 3-ways, email, text and pushover about 99% of the time I’d receive them all, but sometimes one would get lost. After jimbo created notification I was finally able to rely on one method. Notification does retry when my crappy internet connection doesn’t work right. Neither Push, nor the ISY using Network Resources retry—the post the message and if it didn’t go out it doesn’t go out. geofences we’re broken from the release of iOS 15 until like February. Like 5-6 months. It didn’t just effect Locative users, it effected all iOS users for about 5-6 months. But thankfully it’s been fixed for a couple months now. It was Apples fault, and no could understand why the bug wasn’t getting more attention. There are numerous threads in this forum covering the issue.

Think I answered your other post, no need to double post here. I believe they’re expecting the shipment in June. They had a surge in sales, due to Smarthome’s demise.

I believe Michel posted the shipment arrives in June. They had a surge in Sales due to the demise of Smarthome.

I believe that is the $9 module. Help -> About - will show your active modules.

I’ve never used pushsafer, so I can’t say. I Google pushsafer and what I got was priced in euro’s by volume. pushover has no recurring fee’s. Buy the app once and you’re done. 30 day free trial. It’s instant delivery. I can’t find any negatives.

interesting, I don't have an entry for X10 only:

Yea you're not supposed to be adding an EZXRF10... I see the links you're using now... I think that appeared when you bought the $9 module.

go farther away... and/or there's a slight delay. Mine are set on the map to be at the edge of the driveway... Leaving the notifications don't trigger until the end of the block... (800 feet farther than the end of the drive.) Coming its closer to the expectation, they trigger just about in front of the house. Note: early versions of IOS 15 had broken GeoFences. Make sure your IOS is up to date. make a program like this one: bill - [ID 00F3][Parent 00F2] If 'Home / Bill iPhone' Occupied is True Then Resource 'Pushover.EnterBill' Else Resource 'Pushover.ExitBill' Substitute Notify for network resources if need be. so that you will get notified when it trips and then go for a drive, and see what happens.

the current version of locative still works fine with the portal. I'm using it. out of date info. you don't need IFTTT --- it sounds like you have locative set up correctly if you are seeing Enter and Exit events in the portal. Have you restarted the admin console? It requires a restart after the portal node server adds nodes to the ISY. Do you see your portal Node server nodes? The look like this in the device tree: (white background because I'm not using the default admin console theme). in the admin console. "Home" is whatever you named the node in Step 4

It looks like a https://smartenit.com/ model number (starts with EZ...), however it's not a current product of theirs. a PLM has X10 capabilities, an ISY994 will use them, not sure about IoP. Also not sure what you're doing that gives you that message.

reply to your ticket with this info. It sounds like your ISY isn't coming up at all. what are the front lights doing?

I have no idea, perhaps @bpwwer can explain. looks like it's the same version number as PG3.

the Current Releases section of the forum has a post each time there is a new release. Except PG3 whose release announcements are for some weird reason down with the PG3 stuff.... Subscribe to current releases announcements and the PG3 thread to be notified when a release is released.:
