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?

What my suggestion actually does is change the button to NON-TOGGLE and in the second half of that set up you configure it to send OFF only. Select the switch in the tree and press this button: Select the individual switch in the dialog: Change it to NON-Toggle by pressing "Toggle on/off" and then you will see another dialog box that has On and Off choices... Choose OFF. (Choose off because we don't want the light behind the button On) Now write a program that looks like this: Goodnight - [ID 0036][Parent 0096]If 'MBR Ceiling Fan+# / Goodnight' is switched Off Then Run Program 'dc00._trigger.0' (Then Path) Resource 'Hue Living Room Art Off' Set 'Foyer Overhead (Fish)' Off Set 'Glass Shelves' Off {redacted about 30 lines} Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Had we set it to Non-Toggle ON (instead of Non-Toggle OFF) the back-light for the button would be always on. If you had the buttons connected to the switch with scene's, it's just a matter of going to the bottom of the list and picking the scene instead. Same list in the admin console, but scenes are at the bottom: (note the ICON to the LEFT of the word Foyer, that means scene.

Turn off the Scene that links those buttons to another device instead of turning off the device. Change the NIGHT button to Non-Toggle OFF. Then the If of your program should be "If Night Button is switched off" (Use the Control Menu to get "is switched off") then in the Then of the program, turn things off or on as needed, using scenes if the device is in a scene, only use the device directly if the device isn't in a scene.

that program shouldn't be sending anything at 1AM. however I would send the notification off the sensor itself and not the siren which is apparently in the scene, unless that's just a confusing folder name and the device is the leak sensor. You might right click a program name and then pick Find/Replace. Change the drop down to "raw text" and type "Notification" without the quotes and with a Capital N and then cycle thru your programs with the find button to see if there is anything else that could be sending the notification in error.

post the program.

right click the programs that send notifications program name and pick copy to clipboard, then paste them into a message. We have no idea what the programming issue is without seeing the program. If it's programs that are linked by variables or otherwise be sure to post other interrelated programs also.

smarthome.com is an EXTREMELY valuable domain name. A 9 character, easy to remember, easy to type and meaningful domain name and tld .com. They will either auction it for capital, or use it for the same thing.

those are really old sales pages. and the buy buttons don't work. Apparently they've become un-archived.

Since no one is mentioning this anymore: Nokia is likely a dead deal. The former CEO of smartlabs, Rob Lilleness was a Nokia alum. Rob deleted his LinkedIn.. but before he did he came from Nokia before his confusingly named capital group purchased Smartlabs and ran it down the drain.

What specifically did you change? It's possible to factory reset the entire device, but that may be creating lots of work for you. there may be another way but without knowing what you change and where it's hard to help. https without a port specified will point to port 443, http without a port specified will point to port 80.

Factory Reset manually, followed by Restore Device. The think to remember is that you're not only zeroing out unused links but you are also refreshing all hardware storage locations to a known state. There are Insteon Options that the ISY doesn't know about, for example separating the switch and the load. How could it have been changed then? who knows? Maybe it arrived with trash in a register, perhaps a register that only uses a couple of bits, has some trash in another bit, does it matter? probably not. My point is Factory Reset goes beyond cleaning up the links table. Its possible that "Restore Device" alone will solve a problem, but it's also possible that Factory Reset plus Restore Device is what will be needed. How are devices linked via the admin console. SCENES. Scenes create links.

neither am I. But a better system than it is now. And @apostolakisl can no longer test... the noisy deep fryer bit the dust, the replacement doesn't create the problem.

Some Facts: EVERY switch in my house is Dual Band (Probably close to 75 of them). I also have a number of RF only Devices such as Door Sensors and mini-remotes. Range for RF is not a problem: I have a mailbox sensor that is a good 50-60 feet from the nearest dual band switches. I also use a mini-remote for various Functions from the pool equipment pad. Nearest dual band device is about 35 feet. Plug that deep fryer in and only Insteon on the other phase worked. Dual band switches that were plenty close to another dual band switch would not work. Radio and PLC are somehow linked in a way that power line noise takes out Radio.

why don't you just add it manually?

If the deep fryer was plugged in, most of Insteon was at a stand still. It was used for exactly one thing... making chips on mexican night so 99% of the time it was unplugged. Plug it in and Insteon didn't work, Radio or PLC. Plenty of dual band devices everywhere.

I do. I had an Deep Fryer that would bring half the house's insteon down. If your theory is correct, radio should have worked instead.

Why aren't you using that PLM with your Polisy. Although the cable was in fact and ethernet cable it wasn't being used as one, it was carrying serial data. Using your old PLM with polisy is your best bet.

Let me know if you have questions.. the easiest way is just dive in and set one up.

I did a better commented version of that post somewhere, but let me add some commentary to the programs: =================================================================================== Lamp 1 - [ID 0098][Parent 00B7] Folder Conditions for 'Lamp 1' If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alexa.on - [ID 000C][Parent 0098] If $Dim.Lamp1 > 0 And $Dim.Lamp1 <= 100 Then Set 'LR Lamp 1' On '$Dim.Lamp1 %' <--- Set the Scene to on, actually no need for the variable here. Wait 1 second Set 'LR Lamp 1#' On '$Dim.Lamp1 %' <--- Set the individual DEVICE to the correct Dim level Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Manual.on - [ID 0099][Parent 0098] Include any switch or button that can turn the light on. If '{hide}Living Room Fan Lights+ / {hide}Lamp 1' is switched On Or '{hide}Living Room Fan Lights+ / {hide}Lamp 1' is switched Fast On Or '{hide}Living Room Fan Lights+ / {hide}Lamp 1' is switched Fade Stop Or 'Kitchen Table Light# / {hide}Lamp 1' is switched On Or 'Kitchen Table Light# / {hide}Lamp 1' is switched Fast On Or 'Kitchen Table Light# / {hide}Lamp 1' is switched Fade Stop Or 'LR Remote -Deb - A-B' is switched On Or 'LR Remote -Deb - A-B' is switched Fast On Or 'LR Remote -Deb - A-B' is switched Fade Stop Then $Dim.Lamp1 = 101 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Off - [ID 0095][Parent 0098] If '{hide}Living Room Fan Lights+ / {hide}Lamp 1' is switched Off Or '{hide}Living Room Fan Lights+ / {hide}Lamp 1' is switched Fast Off Or 'Kitchen Table Light# / {hide}Lamp 1' is switched Off Or 'Kitchen Table Light# / {hide}Lamp 1' is switched Fast Off Or 'LR Remote -Deb - A-B' is switched Off Or 'LR Remote -Deb - A-B' is switched Fast Off Or $Dim.Lamp1 is 0 Then $Dim.Lamp1 = 0 Set 'LR Lamp 1' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Here is how I did it:

Not kn owing anything about how your programs are set up, all i can give you is a basic generic troubleshooting step. Find the program that sends the notification, right click the program name a choose "Run Then" (or perhaps "Run Else") and see of the notifications fire manually. then we can try to figure out what to try next.

its not the IDE that you asked for, but I'm not sure that exists. It does solve your issue completely tho, by providing a full featured python (and other platforms) editor with formatting, completion and other tools. hit ctrl-s or close the file and it's saved back to it's source. You can test live in another window. I have two PG2 node servers that I put together for personal use and never published. The solution works like what you asked for but it's not what you asked for.

I use the same thing on Polisy that I use on the websites that I maintain. WinSCP coupled to Sublime Text. Both have non-expiring trial licenses (a.k.a nag-to-pay, however both are definitely worth the low fee). To use the two together, in WinSCP preferences modify the editor and point it to the Sublime Text binary in windows program files. As soon as the file is closed or saved in sublime it will be saved back to the server (Polisy). You can also configure key pairs for login, so that just opening WinSCP and pointing to Polisy logs you in.

It's been a long time since I tried the Push node server and I don't remember why for sure but it didn't fit my needs--but it might have been the messages weren't customizable enough. I use @JimboAutomates node server titled "Notification". It too is a little confusing at first (learning curve), but after it's understood it's far more powerful in how it can be used. I think this is also the only Pushover solution that will retry on common internet failures, such as no 200 Ok reply from Pushover. There are 3 methods that I know of to use Pushover, directly from NR's as documented in the Wiki, The Push node server, and the Notification node server.
