It looks like a messed up the network settings on my ISY since I am no longer able to start the admin console. I am able to reach the ISY via UDI Mobile and via the web, but don't know how to adjust the ports that I changed. Must I do a factory reset and then a restore to get back to working? BTW, I changed the ports because I was generating errors in the error log after replacing the router.

I apologize if this is a stupid question, but . . . I replaced a dying router with Eero Mesh router. (I don't know much about networking). Since then, my ISY has been generating a lot of errors. I am getting the following errors in the error log: - 5011 (Process Device State Change SID not found) - 5012 (UPNP Subscriber NOREPLY to event 1) I'm not very good at networks, does anybody have a suggestion?

What brand of router did you change to? Eero 6+ Are you running any firewall software on your computer? No Did you get an advanced router that you setup different v-lans? Just went through the basic setup in Eero Have you tried with the computer hard wired to the same router? I have not, but I can access the ISY by calling it's IP address and also by UD Mobile. Can you pint the ISY IP from your computer? Yes Log into your router and look for “connected devices” and find the IP of the ISY994 then add it manually to the finder to be sure you can connect locally. Done I do not see it with the Launcher and don't know how to access the program without it. The "not found" error went away after I followed the instructions to clear java cache (all 3 buttons) then remove start and admin jnlp's and relound the launcher.

After clearing my cache (all three boxes) Removing all start.jnlp and all admin.jnlp Downloading https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp I can no longer find my ISY. Also during this process, I replaced my router. Any thoughts on how I can get access to my ISY994 again? Ideas would be greatly appreciated. I am still able to access it through UDI mobile.

Thank you for the diagnosis. Would you have any recommendations? Should I downgrade the launcher? Can I upgrade the ISY? Should I live with it?

When I start IoX Launcher I get a Not found message. I click OK, I get another. Then it seems to work fine. Any suggestions?

@MrBill I just checked the error log. Wow, there's a lot going on. I'm running 994 v5.3.4. The error log is below, not sure how to even begin to figure this out.

Happy Tuesday, I've been noticing that Alexa and UDI Mobile periodically stop working with my ISY. I reboot the ISY and it starts working again. 2 questions: 1) Is there a way to schedule a daily reboot? 2) Any suggestions to try so I don't have to reboot?

Just found out from Michel that you have to set the motion sensor (or any battery device) into communication mode and write the changes once. After that it works fine. Thank you all for your help.

When I make the controller "Motion Sensor" I start teeing up writes to the motion sensor. If I do this several times a day with a myriad of motion sensors, I don't know what will happen.

Now I understand. Thank you. Another question comes to mind . . . Since the motion sensor is the controller of the scene being adjusted and the motion sensor is a battery device, how do you put the motion sensor in "communications mode" programmatically?

Excellent catch - I've changed the scene and the programs so many times to try and get it right that I missed that. So, I got rid of the first line in the then statement that calls the scene. Here's the weird thing . . . the scene changes from the adjust scene command but when the motion sensor (which is a controller in the scene) activates the scene, it always comes on at 100%. Just call me baffled.

Half Bath Adjust Scene Late - [ID 0042][Parent 0020] If $Time_of_Day is $LATE_NIGHT Then In '1 - First Floor / Half Bath / Half Bath' Set '1 - First Floor / Half Bath / Half Bath Light' To 20% in 0.2 seconds Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Half Bath Sensor - [ID 0041][Parent 0020] If '1 - First Floor / Half Bath / Half Bath Sensor.1 Motion' is switched On Then Set '1 - First Floor / Half Bath / Half Bath' On Wait 10 minutes Run Program 'Half Bath Sensor' (Else Path) Else Set '1 - First Floor / Half Bath / Half Bath' Off Set '1 - First Floor / Half Bath / Half Bath Fan' Off Does this help to clarify?

Using 5.3.4 I have a scene where an insteon motion sensor is controlling a scene of one dimmer switch. I have a program that is adjusting each scene in the evening to have the lights come on at 65% at a certain time of day. When the scene comes on, the lights come on at 100% for a second and then dim to 65%. Am I doing something wrong?

I'm seeing about a 1 second delay.

I know this is probably not the most elegant way to do it, but . . . I have 10 wiz bulbs that I control with the ISY through a roundabout way. I set variables to be motion detectors that Alexa picks up in Routines. These routines set the scene and/or brightness of the Wiz bulbs.

First establish each of your devices you would like to control in the ISY Portal - 1) log into the ISY Portal 2) select connectivity - amazon echo 3) Add device with a spoken command In Alexa app on your phone or alexa website 1) In smart home section, devices tab - select discover on the bottom of the screen 2) then you should see the devices in the the alexa routine "when it happens" section I hope that helps. Happy Sunday.

Thank you @larryllix. This was a great solution. I made a couple of mods that I'll share below. I was wondering if there is a way to set a variable to it's initial value programmatically without using another variable? Some Notes up front LR.K is Living Room and Kitchen. $LR.K_Motion is set by Alexa (Off = 1440 which is number of minutes in a day, On = 10 which is the default timeout for motion sensors) $FINISHED = 0 $LR.K_Motion is reset to 10 every sunrise LR.K Motion Stopped - [ID 003D][Parent 003C] If Status '1 - First Floor / Kitchen / Kitchen Sensor Motion' is On Or Status '1 - First Floor / Living Room / Living Room Motion Sensor' is On Then $LR.K_Motion_Countdown = $LR.K_Motion LR.K Countdown - [ID 0044][Parent 003C] If $LR.K_Motion_Countdown > $FINISHED Then Wait 1 minute $LR.K_Motion_Countdown -= 1 LR.K Turn off lights - [ID 004B][Parent 003C] If $LR.K_Motion_Countdown is $FINISHED Then Set Scene '1 - First Floor / First Floor' Off $LR.K_Motion = $LR.K_MOTION_INIT This is why I'm looking to find a way to set a variable to it's initial state. When the lights finally turn off, I want to reset the motion timer to 10 (until I change my mind). To keep it simple on the changes, I want to change it in only one place - INIT value on the variable page if possible.

I've been working with motion sensors throughout my house (with lots of advice from the forum - thank you). Now I'd like to figure out a way to have a variable length motion timeout. I've been able to get Alexa to pass a number to a variable LR_Motion_Countdown. I thought I'd write it like this: LR Motion If LR_Motion_Sensor_1 is switch off AND LR_Motion_Sensor_2 is switched off Then Run LR_Countdown (IF) LR Countdown If LR_Motion_Countdown > 0 then LR_Motion_Countdown =- 1 Wait 1 minute else set scene LR off I'd concerned this won't work because i want the motion sensor to restart the countdown every time it senses motion and this method won't do that. I started playing around with the following program. Do you think it will work? First Floor Motion - [ID 003D][Parent 003C] If Status '1 - First Floor / Kitchen / Kitchen Sensor Motion' is Off And Status '1 - First Floor / Living Room / Living Room Binary Sensor' is Off And $Motion is not $OFF Then $Hold_For_Living_Room_Motion = $Motion Repeat Every 1 minute $Motion -= 1 Repeat 1 times Set Scene '1 - First Floor / First Floor' Off Run Program 'First Floor Motion' (Else Path) Else $Motion = $Hold_For_Living_Room_Motion **** this is done to reset motion countdown to original value The problem I see with this program is $Hold_For_Living_Room_Motion should be reset every time i change $Motion. I don't know how to do that. Also I'd like to have the ability to turn off motion sensor timer by setting it to 0. Does anybody have any suggestions? I'm beginning to lose my own train of thought.

My key components are Insteon (Switches, Keypads, MS I, MS II), Z Wave Locks, Logitech Harmony Hub and Amazon Echo. I'm primarily looking at programming differences. Is there a different manual for 5.x versus 4.x?

Is there a change document that highlights the changes in V5 from v4? Is there a V5 manual? I see there are great instructions on how to migrate to V5, I just want to make sure I understand it before making the move. Thanx,

I think I just figured out the answer to my own question. In order for the program to execute within a conditional folder, the condition within the program must have just changed. So . . . . I changed the structure to: FOLDER] Turn on Lights If Status 'Kitchen' is off (Removed the Sensor Status check from the conditional folder and put it in the Program condition since that is what is changing) [PROGRAM] Kitchen High IF $Kitchen_Lighting is $KITCHEN_HIGH AND Status "Kitchen Sensor" is on then Set Scene 'Kitchen High' On [PROGRAM] Kitchen Medium IF $Kitchen_Lighting is $KITCHEN_MEDIUM AND Status "Kitchen Sensor" is on then Set Scene 'Kitchen Medium' On [PROGRAM] Kitchen Low IF $Kitchen_Lighting is $KITCHEN_LOW AND Status "Kitchen Sensor" is on then Set Scene 'Kitchen Low' On ------- It's a bit cumbersome to repeat the Sensor test in every program but it seems to work (so far) --------

@larryllix I am having a blast experimenting . . . can't say the same for my wife. On setting the variable based on scene, found I was able to set the variable based on the KPL Button. The scene incorporates the button as both a controller and a responder so I can test on it. I set up the following programs: [FOLDER] What Lights are on [PROGRAM} Kitchen High If Status 'Keypad - Kitchen' is not Off Then $Kitchen_Lighting = $KITCHEN_HIGH [PROGRAM] Kitchen Medium If Status 'Keypad - Party' is not Off Then $Kitchen_Lighting = $KITCHEN_MEDIUM [PROGRAM] Kitchen Low If Status 'Keypad - Movie' is not Off Then $Kitchen_Lighting = $KITCHEN_LOW ---------------------------- I found that Kitchen_Lighting changed correctly whether I changed the scene via a program, a call from Alexa or by pushing a button. Yeah!!!! ----------------------------- Here's my latest problem: I created conditional folder and several programs underneath it. I assumed that if the both the folder condition and the program conditions were true that the program would execute. So far . . . not so much. [FOLDER] Turn on Lights If Status 'Kitchen Sensor' is on and Status 'Kitchen' is off [PROGRAM] Kitchen High IF $Kitchen_Lighting is $KITCHEN_HIGH then Set Scene 'Kitchen High' On [PROGRAM] Kitchen Medium IF $Kitchen_Lighting is $KITCHEN_MEDIUM then Set Scene 'Kitchen Medium' On [PROGRAM] Kitchen Low IF $Kitchen_Lighting is $KITCHEN_LOW then Set Scene 'Kitchen Low' On --------------------------- I have found that the Folder Program shows green (I'm assuming it is now calling the programs under it). The Program Kitchen high shows green on the left but never turns on the light. Have I misunderstood the capabilities of the folder IF?

@dbwarner5 - I was thinking along the same path but then I came across a few issues: 1) "How do I determine which scene is currently on so I can set the variable" I don't know how to base a condition on a scene either having a status of on or turned on. I was thinking of basing it on the status light of a keypad. I'm not sure if it will only execute when I physically push the button or will it hopefully execute when Alexa executes the scene that turns on the button. 2) If I set the variable based on the light status of the button, then the motion sensor will have to turn the scene off without changing the button lights. I believe I will have to create a generic scene off command for the room. 3) Is there an easy way to duplicate an existing scene? When the program changes scenes based on time of day, I'd like a longer ramp rate.

I like the all CAPS CONSTANTS. Nice touch. Imagine the following scenario: 1) I walk into the Gathering Room in the morning and my motion sensor turns on the "Morning Gathering Room Scene" 2) I'm working a project so I need a little more lighting. I push the button on keypad "Party Scene" and I now have brighter lighting. 3) I step out for a few minutes, so the motion detector sees no motion and turns off the lights. 4) I walk back in and the motion sensor will turn on "Morning Gathering Room Scene" when I would really like it to turn on "Party scene" I know how to change the scene that the sensor will turn on. I don't know how to tell it that I turned on the Party scene from either the button or Alexa so it will turn the "Party Scene" on instead of the Morning Scene. Does that make sense?
