Changes which number, the 6 digits you just replied above? There's many cases were people can't read the label, smarthome has a poor font choise... D and 0, 8 and B, are some of the numbers/letters that are hard to tell apart. the 2 devices i.e. sensor/relay part is correct...

What happens when you check Help > About? Is the firmware version 5.3.4?

Matter isn't news, but it's delayed yet again... Bottom line... so far Matter doesn't matter.

I spent about 3 hours one day trolling thru a google of "site:cache.insteon.com" and saving every PDF I found. If "cache.insteon.com" actually vanishes I'll put the documents up somewhere, but since it's copyrighted I'm not planning to until there is need. There's also this collection in the documentation folder of the pyinsteon project on github.

if step 2 is linking to ISY then you're good. If it's manual linking then no, don't do that. Once the single scene is created you need to set the attributes 3 times. Once at the root level of the scene, and once for each controller. Here's a scene similar to what you describe: The root level of the scene (selected in the screen shot) is how the scene is processed when controlled by the ISY itself (i.e. manual control, program control, or portal/alexa/Google home control). Then you must click each of the two scene controllers and set the attributes again. (each of the 3 controllers could in fact control the scene differently.)

Did you just complete migration? IS PG3 pointing to IoP or back to your 994. is this the Occupancy or Occupancy V2 node server that you're referring to as the portal node server or something else? I susupect that you're using one of the Occupancy node servers and it's still pointed to a 994, I don't think the migration tool migrates that from reading the list of checkboxes on the migration tool. If this is the case you just need to re-add the occupancy node server to your new IoP installation. It still should show the slot occupied and "unmanaged". I believe @jlamb is trying to say that the slot is not showing unmanaged. I suspect his problem tho is detailed above... he's using one of the Occupancy node servers and it wasn't migrated by the portal migration tool.

Definitely not a technical limitation. But overall there are only a very few of us that make every switch in the house a smartswitch and desire the feature sets being discussed. The two forces that are at work on manufactures are that the masses just want a remote control switch as an upgrade to the timer for the front lights, or maybe to have a few lights turn on at dusk and off later on, etc, but not whole house control (at least in North America, Europe appears to be more energy conscious), that's still a very small percentage of the market.... the other force is price competition in the market... gotta drive the basics to market at the lowest cost possible to gain sales in a crowded marketplace.

heh... i didn't actually look i just assumed he linked the PLM or the never built superPLM

welcome to the forum! that link is nothing new to most of us...

Much better to use the portal for remote access. less than $1/month and if you're a new Polisy owner it comes with 2 years included. That said, I do have an IP reservation configured via the router so that I never have to figure out what the IP is on the local network.

if you haven't discovered what @apostolakisl is alluding too above, you can Right Click a program name and choose Run Then or Run Else to test those clauses. If they don't work the first thing to look for is a folder condition anywhere above the program (folders can be nested, and folder conditions are inherited). As I mentioned already stay away from folder conditions until you really understand how IF statements the ISY work.... there is a learning curve beyond simple time based conditions.

there are several threads that detail DIY replacement of the crappy capacitors. The capacitors in later versions of the hub seem to last longer than earlier versions. There are also 2 ads on ebay that may be of interest to you: Insteon Capacitors Schlyguy is also a member of this forum, these do ship from Canada but I had mine in about a week. PLM repair I can't personally vouch for this guy, but I have emailed with him and his ad has been repeatedly posted without anyone coming back to complain about the service they received.

did you reboot between and Note this line at the bottom of the 121.sh

Shine your phones flashlight on it.... it will reveal itself as a blue LED. Your z-wave version will also be 4.55.00. That is a 300 series board. Firmware version 5.0.16C is as far as you can go. Help > About: make sure the UI version is also 5.0.16C and not just 5.0.16.

My advise is don't use folder conditions as a beginner. Advance to that in the intermediate to advanced levels of skill. the folder "My Programs" has a folder condition. it must be true for anything under it to run.

smarthome.com is still up... they retail at 79.99

It never gets left on, except one recent night..lol It's a hatch attic from the garage, and the switch is a pilot light switch in the garage. It can go years without ever needing to go up there. I've been adding some IP cams lately tho, and I did in fact leave it on overnight once recently.... but that's pretty rare. The switch is also away from where anyone would just turn it on expecting garage lights... besides that no one needs the garage light switch anyway... it's automated.

I can't tell without also seeing the program 'Front Vanity Auto' but keep in mind that while you're stopping it you are not disabling it. if the IF of 'Front Vanity Auto' is motion (as I'm guessing), it will retrigger anytime there is motion. Fast on needs to disable 'Front Vanity Auto' to prevent it from sensing motion. Stopping the program stops the currently running iteration of the program. Disabling a program prevents it from being triggered via it's IF statement.

Everyday pricing is weird tho... a small complex commodity item for 64cents a piece retail vs a smaller less complex commodity item with fewer materials for $4.37 each

You're not as weird as you think. The only classic dumb switches in my house are 2 garbage disposals and the attic light, All other switches are Insteon and if it's a light that can be dimmed, its a dimmer.. .and as @carealtor points out it's important to dim bathroom lights in the night...

Pretty sure that was intentionally done to fix the problem of variable or node values changing before the actually fired.

Home Assistant is an open source home automation package that's been around awhile but had exponential growth over the last 18-24 months. https://www.home-assistant.io/ No charge to install and use the software. There is a remote access cloud component that has a fee but is optional.

Actually at this point in the game that's $70 wasted upgrade money. He should stick with 5.016C until he can spend his upgrade money on Polisy + zooz 700 series

As @Geddy mentions, just email sales@universal-devices.com I don't think they are really out...

Yes, the 3 button clicks just runs 'sudo shutdown -r now'... It's expecting you to power down after it shuts down... one thing that's no delineated is how long to wait after the command or clicks, because the shutdown isn't instant, I haven't done it in awhile but as I recall I waited a couple of minutes.
