Insteon acquired and servers coming back up
Looks like the new CEO Ken Fairbanks was an employee 2004-2007 https://www.linkedin.com/in/ken-fairbanks-b363a32/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/ken-fairbanks-b363a32/details/experience/

TV Off/Restart Program Help Needed
agree with @tazman 5 seconds probably isn't long enough.

Gmail as smtp service
+1 for Spark email client. I discovered that when looking for an easy way to get email notification on just one email account. I spew google conspicuously theories so I'm one that doesn't use Google (after I started getting ads for something that was randomly spam emailed to me, I no longer felt good about google), so I use Spark with an email address I created at Comcast just for the ISY. Another trick that I use is the ISY sends FROM: the same Comcast address that it sends TO:, which of course is the address that is configured in Spark. The ISY sending TO the same account is great for speed/no delay).

Cant Access Admin Console
Perhaps you should open a support ticket support@univeral-devices.com and get some one on one assistance. I actually don't understand the problem anymore... the issue seems to have migrated from can't access the admin console using a deprecated method to ISY finder doesn't find the ISY, which is a different issue entirely and probably due to something external to the ISY eco system. Support is waiting to help you: support@universal-devices.com

Insteon 2441 Thermostat Sets to GMT
sounds like a bug that I haven't seen anyone report yet, like you most people here probably don't use thermostat programing because they have an ISY. Should probably open a support ticket: support@universal-devices.com to make sure the bug is tracked.

"This Version of the Admin Console is not compatible with the installed version of the ISY firmware" v. 5.4.3
@Andre DouyonAre you running the official release of Oracle Java 8 from https://www.java.com or some other distribution? UD only supports Oracle's Java 8, you may have success with a different Java distribution, or you may not. Clear your java cache, you must check the box for "Installed Applications and Applets" Also delete any files you see named start.jnlp or admin.jnlp then download a fresh copy of start.jnlp from this link: https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp The first time it is run it will re-install the ISY Launcher icon on your desktop.

insteon replacement for international users
if you can change capacitors you're probably good to go for a long time to come. PLM's on ebay are currently selling at a premium price, but one say that bubble will burst and PLM's won't be premium price anymore. Again if you can replace the weak link, the capacitors, you are likely good to go for many years to come.

Leak Sensor Question [Cookbook Item 11.6.1.3 Setup - Core Components]
Interesting. I have no explanation. Check Program > Summary tab and see if all 3 of the Variable Control 2 programs like this one: HVAC- Variable Control 2 - [ID 003C][Parent 0038] If 'HVAC-Dry / HVAC-Heartbeat' is switched On Or 'HVAC-Dry / HVAC-Heartbeat' is switched Off Show as Running Then in the Activity column .

insteon replacement for international users
@eduardo_garcia I've noticed in other automation forums that https://shelly.cloud/ devices are popular in Europe. They are relays/dimmers that go behind a standard switch. the standard switch can still be used. they have a built in webserver and some basic logic (like schedules) built right into the device. I've installed a few of the non-dimming version in my son's house since the demise of Insteon and it is a pretty neat device. The caveat is that it's wifi, so it's important to have modern wifi and router. (some of the older routers on this side of the pond have limited sized Routing tables or DHCP tables, such a device wouldn't eat measurable bandwidth, but it's important to have a router than supports many devices.)

Unable to access 994i
Since there is another thread on the same topic down in the Mobilinc subforum I'm going to ask the moderator to lock this thread. The original poster here has resolved his problem, the Moblinc connect issue should continue at the thread linked above.
-
Unable to access 994i
Also be aware that if you're using Mobilinc connect you will need convert to the ISY portal to use UD Mobile. It should also be noted that with the original Mobilinc apps (pro, HD, and Orchestrated) can be configured with the ISY portal. (I think for Mobilinc X the user has to pay a one time fee to use X with the ISY portal....not an expert in that area tho.)

Unable to access 994i
For the record, when I made my second post in this thread I had a sneaking suspicion that there were two different problems: the OPs where he needed to reboot, and a second problem perhaps with mobilinc connect. What I couldn’t tell yet was wether or not OP also suffered from the second problem.

Issue writing update to devices
That's correct. The devil in the details is the definition of "close". 18" might be too close... i.e. over modulation... the human analogy is that when a sound is over amplified we can't hear it correctly because it's too loud. On the other hand it's a known fact the 500 series has a weak transmitter.

What does the crystal ball say
Matter really doesn't matter at this point. Wait to see how consumers vote with their checkbooks. The jury is still out.

Unable to access 994i
Is the problem with MobilincConnect? Mobilinc pro is working fine for me thru the ISY portal. However I don't have MobilincConnect or Mobilinc X.

PG3 time issue
I had exactly the same question when I saw that. You beat me to posting. let's tag @bpwwer.

Unable to access 994i
@paulw Have you rebooted the ISY yet? If not, do that and try again.
-
What response is required by the ISY for a network resource?
Pretty sure it's just looking for an Http 200 OK response. The "Net Module Rule: 68" portion of the error message just indicates that it was Network Resource number 68 that caused the error.

Cant Access Admin Console
Make sure that you have the Oracle official Java 8 from www.java.com there are a bunch of other distributions floating around with other numbers, those aren't Oracle Java releases. Also make certain you are using The Isy Launcher which is linked above it ends in start.jnlp. The first time you run that program it will install an icon on your windows desktop called ISY Launcher to open the admin console. The method you are using in the Screenshot above has been deprecated due to browser security. Opening the admin console now does not involve any browser.

Query All Daily Program
Just out of curiosity, if you disable the query all program for testing, does the lock work the next morning? (to disable the program right click the program name and pick disable) Also are you using the most current firmware release for the 994 or Polisy? If not, upgrade the firmware and retest. if it still persists, it sounds like you found a bug to report, open a ticket support@universal-devices.com

PG3 login requires my.isy.io authorization
+1 for that. I try to minimize what needs cloud access. I also don't particularly care for required services. It hadn't completely gelled with me until this discussion that PG3 required so much phoning home.

How to trigger program for temperature breaches?
Even if it wasn't hysteresis @apostolakisl program examples should solve your problem. Once the notification is sent the sensing program is disabled until the temp falls. You can arrow that gap hysteresis if you want, just follow the example so that program 1 gets disabled.
-
PG3 login requires my.isy.io authorization
It's too bad that portal login didn't become the front end login for PG3, that is to login to PG3 the user logs into portal. (then the fact there is no method to reset a PG3 password wouldn't exist!)
