Lee, As always, many thanks!! Have the 994i sitting on the shelf, guess it is time to put it to use!

When I tried to access my isy99 today I am getting; Running this app may be security risk....... If I select; I accept the risk....... and try to run I get an error Missing required permissions manifest attribute in main jar:....... Java 7.51, isy99 last supported update Any thoughts?

FYI, I have issues with a dimmer used in a bathroom. After several years, the unit went dead, exercising the air gap (pulling out the set button) will bring it back, usually for several months before having to do it again. My guess is the humidity is creating some corrosion in the contacts.

Sorry, I had overlooked the day time constraint, thought it was a night time example for him.

If I am understanding correctly, it seems that Xathros forgot to have a one minute wait as the first command in "then" for the two examples.

The least expensive way will be to do it with x10 commands, but you will need the 4300 power supply. The only other way is with vista relay modules, a Smartenit EZIO8SA will handle 7 inputs. If you keep the 4300 and isy on the same 120 leg you should have reliable communication. I have had good success with vista panels using either method.

Lee, Had to go to 3.3.10 (99i), my 994i is due in Tuesday. After installing 3.3.10, I did another plm restore, fixed the problem! Strange after so many months the beta would give a problem but, everything is resolved. Thanks again for your help!!!

Firmware and UI 3.3.4, upgraded about 5 months ago. I had tried a PLM restore before my first posting, no joy.

Hi Lee, When I ran the Scene Test, I could see many of the lights come on for a second or two, and then went out. Can't confirm all of them but I could see at least three of them from where I was sitting.

ISY has been in use for several years without issues. A couple of days ago I noticed that some lights were not going on and off as they should have been. Then I noticed that the isy was not responding to my alarm on and off's which communicate via x10. Hooked up an x10 analyzer at the modem and found readable x10 codes with no high levels of noise. But, the event viewer is not showing any recieved x10 codes (modem light if flashing when codes are being sent). The alarm and isy are on the same circuit. Find that the lights that the isy is having a problem turning on and off will work fine from other keypads that are linked. Sometimes I can turn a light on or off with the isy, other times not (see log below), some lights are fine all the time, others are ratty most if not all the time. My thought was noise, or legs not properly linked. But, with the alarm on the same circuit and the isy not seeing it and an analyzer seeing it (x10) and not showing noise..... So far I have; re-set the access points, restored the modem, re-booted the isy, none of which made any difference. In the following log, the first set of on and off worked, the second did not.

I have seen similar issues when the body is left blank. Adding anything to the body resolved it for me.

Thanks Lee.

3.1.17 Looked like it was adding but never appeared on the tree. Tried a second time and get "node not added - failed restoring device" Any thoughts?

Have had mine for several years. Once had a lockup where it had to be factory reset. Works great.

Lee, You hit it on the head! I would have never gone there, one to remember. Thanks again.

Lee, Thanks, will give it a try tonight. Was my thinking wrong that the dual-band should have resolved any line communication issues?

I have an older Lamplinc which is part of a scene which has gone flaky in not lighting when the isy turns the scene on. A KL which is part of the scene can control it without any issues. I replaced it with a LL (dual-band) expecting that would resolve any communication issues as it is within 20 feet of an access point, and another LL(DB) which, also happens to be part of the same scene. No luck, same issue. If I use the isy to turn on the LL it will function fine, but will not as part of the scene. Any thoughts? Log below shows both the scene and single on/off commands.

If it is one of the Vista series, you can use the isy to turn the system on and off, and send info as to status to the isy. However, it will take some knowledge on programming the Vista, and a 3rd party product to send info to and from the isy.

To my understanding the 2450 will only handle one input. If you want to track more than one activity ie arming, alarm, you will need something with more than one. I will look for a vista 20 programming manual to give you some pointers, if it is like the 40 it can be a bit convoluted. All you are doing is associating a house and unit code (or relay) to different panel activities, then on the isy programming those codes to do what you will.

I have done it with a vista 40. Had the x10 transformer already in use from when I used x10. I have since used it with the isy for arming and disarming. As long as you have good communication between the panel transformer and the isy you will be fine. In my case I had given away my coupler/repeater so I had to move circuits around to keep them both on the same leg. The other option is that you could add the relay module to the panel and one of the simplehomenet modules which would allow you to keep everything insteon. Using x10 with the panel has worked out fine for me. However, if I had not already had the x10 capability I would have probably gone the relay route. Either way, you will either have to get into the setup for the vista 20 and make the programming changes for the x10 codes, or the relay activity.

Lee, Interesting, I did the PLM reset, and restored. Ran in minutes. The ISY is now responding to other devices which it did not do before. However, I still see no traffic in the event viewer. Update: Did a reset of the isy, all seems well! Again, Thank you for your help!!!

Suggest a factory reset first?

Lee, No luck. Any words of caution on a modem restore? Have never done one.

Had a power failure last night, a few quick flickers before it went out long enough for the generator to kick in. The isy is functioning on it's scheduled programs and only showing traffic it is generating, but nothing from any other devices. Modem restore to resolve?

Possibly I am looking in all the wrong places, but have not found anything definitive.
