It is likely tmobile doing this. Verizon started disallowing this as well several years ago. Though I was too lazy to completely remove my text notifications and still occasionally I get one hours or days later. I now just depend on email notifications. Those seem solid. Try googling tmobile email to text notifications and see what might come up.

Major Kudos to bpwwer - Amazon delivered my Bond Bridge an hour ago. I fired it up and got it talking to my gas fireplace. Then I added the BOND plugin to my eISY (best $11 ever) and, after a restart of the admin console, it just magically showed up in my devices list. I added on and off as a responder to my Fireplace scene and now I can control my fireplace from button "F" (what else would I choose ) on my 8 button keypad. Thanks again!

Eisy:User Guide - Universal Devices, Inc. Wiki Yep - I had to do this once before. It restores it to its original setting and then you can install your most recent good backup. Good Luck!

Add me to the list of failed upgrades. I was on 5.8 something. I waited over an hour and nothing, so I rebooted. Still nothing. I had a backup so I could do a hard reset and reinstall, but I figured what the heck. So, I connected up my monitor and executed the command listed above by cutthroat and that worked for me. I love my eISY but I cringe and hold my breath every time I do an upgrade. It is the only time I ever have issues. I agree, some type of status should be available other than "it should take about 30 minutes".

Thanks again. I will have a local temp sensor as part of the integration as well. My Bond Bridge is scheduled for delivery today. My plan is to get it working and then install and start playing with the Plugin. I have not used plugins before, so this will be a learning experience for me. I'll update this post with my results.

Thank You! I will absolutely take a look. I was looking at the PlugIn list, but nothing jumped out. My plan is to trigger it when our hvac heating kicks on/off (an Insteon thermostat) to use as supplemental heat. So triggering on and off is all I really need.

Personally, I just don't trust any battery status indicator. I have a yearly reminder in my calendar to replace any battery for my remote sensors. Water leaks are too critical to worry about a battery. That is just the way I have decided to deal with it.

I have hunted around and am not finding anything that seems applicable. I have a new gas fireplace with a Radio Frequency remote to turn it on and off. I would love to be able to interface it to the eISY so that I can automate on and off. I know there are plugins that interface with other RF devices (ROKU, SONOS, etc) but what about a generic RF? Maybe a device that can learn my RF signal? I am considering trying to retrofit a Zooz Zen16 800lr relay. I installed one in a different gas fireplace but that fireplace was older and more compatible with the relay. I thought I would check here before I go down that path. Any thoughts? Has anyone else faced or solved this problem?

I also could see this being useful. But I don't see '$Timer' anywhere in my dropdown choices. Can you show a more detailed screenshot?

Did you use the eISY migration guide? I have migrated two systems with very little issues using these procedures. Just make sure to follow them to the letter (especially if you have any Zwave devices). I misread some items on my first attempt but just did a hard reset and then tried again. All was well.

Hi @mikek - for the big button, I have left it alone so I can reference the on and off status - even though in my ceiling fan setup I don't have a load wire installed. I just use it to programmatically turn on and off the separate light option in the Insteon fan controller. My Insteon fan controller is permanently wired "hot", so everything is controlled via the Zen32 keypad even though not physically wired. I do have the "load" wired in my "bath" setup. In that case, I also turn on and off a separate light (in addition to the light it is physically wired to) when the "big" button is pressed.

Hi @mikek for the button lighting status, I just set the parameter for the particular button in my program to either light on or light off. For instance, this is my "turn the ceiling fan off" program which turns the status light of button 4 (lower right) on and turn the status lights of the other small buttons off. Based on my experience, there is no on or off status for these small buttons, but a program gets triggered as "Switched ON" when pressed. If they do ever get out of sync (it happens rarely but occasionally) then just pressing a button clears everything up. Parameter 2 is upper left, parameter 3 is upper right, parameter 4 is lower left and parameter 5 is lower right. The setting of "2" turns the status light off and "3" turns it on. It would have been nice if the parameter button matched the scene button number, but it is what it is. U Bed1 Fan 4 Off - [ID 0032][Parent 0034] If 'U Bed1 Fan Light ZW / ZY 029 Scene Button 4' is switched On Then Set 'U Bed1 Fan-Motor' Off Set 'U Bed1 Fan Light ZW' Set Configuration Parameter 2 = 2 Set 'U Bed1 Fan Light ZW' Set Configuration Parameter 3 = 2 Set 'U Bed1 Fan Light ZW' Set Configuration Parameter 4 = 2 Set 'U Bed1 Fan Light ZW' Set Configuration Parameter 5 = 3 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') One final issue I discovered, the scene button 'if' must be based on a "control" status, not the "status" option in the selection drop down box.

I have several of the Zooz Zen32 controllers in both of my homes. I like them, but as you might have noticed, they do not always play well with Insteon scenes. The button you have listed above is the primary switch. You can control On and Off with the eISY. If you right click and "group" you will see a layout similar to how the Insteon keypads show up after grouping. Mine is renamed as listed below. Interesting that you have a scene button 6 that I do not have. Maybe that is what you are looking for? My "big button" is wired to my ceiling lights in my bathroom, but I also have it controlled programmatically to turn on the sink light as well as the fan when it is switched on. I have never had much (if any) luck using z-wave devices in scenes, though I do believe the Zen32 big button might work. Because of this, I generally limit their use to single locations like bedrooms and bathrooms and only reference them programmatically The secondary buttons, as you have found, are really only useful in programs. I have previously documented my use as a ceiling fan controller combined with the Insteon ceiling fan module. I like the Zooz product line. They have a two-button as well that I use as fireplace control using the Zooz relay. Good Luck!

JSchumann - I have been using Z-wave detectors. I found one I really liked that could be plugged in and not require batteries. I like them because they located in a not easy to reach crawlspace so no worries about dying batteries. They also use a flexible mesh cord to detect moisture as opposed to the "prong" method on most detectors. Unfortunately, it has since become unavailable. ZLINK Z-Wave Plus Water Leak and Freeze Detector with S2 and SmartStart, Amazon Alexa Ready - ZL-LD-100 - Amazon.com Most recently I installed Aeotec sensors to monitor for any water accumulation in my attic AC pans. They do require batteries, so I just have a yearly calendar reminder to replace them.

Having to manually reset the Insteon leak detectors is why I moved on to other options. Many of mine were in inconvenient locations and having to reset them any time it triggered became a non-starter for me.
