f.demello Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Not sure what has happened but in the last 3 months I have been getting no texts on triggers from various open/close & leak sensors. I changed some of the batteries and upgraded to 4.5.1 but still the same (see screenshot). Nothing has changed in my programs. I have no idea where to even start. Any help will be greatly appreciated
larryllix Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Have you run test notifications to see if the messages are still being sent out, identifying whether the problem is in the programming or the email system? Edited July 31, 2016 by larryllix
f.demello Posted July 31, 2016 Author Posted July 31, 2016 I am getting texts. I did notice my text group was set to regular e-mail all of a sudden (didn't set it up that way). But just did a test of one of the open/close sensors and it did not send anything. if you look at the screenshot I am not getting any of the daily runs I used to. What would cause all of them to stop? Thank you
Techman Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Try removing power from the ISY for about 10 seconds then plug it back in. Are you also using the 4.5.1 UI?

ISY Firmware 4.5.1. Not sure how to double check the UI version

Right click on the program in the program tree and select "copy to clipboard" This is a simple open close program (2 parts) that worked for years: Shed Timer - [iD 0014][Parent 0001] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Send Notification to 'Frank' content 'Door Activation' Send Notification to 'Abby' content 'Door Activation' Wait 5 minutes Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ---------------------------------------- Shed Trigger - [iD 0015][Parent 0001] If Status 'Open-Close / Shed-Opened' is On Then Run Program 'Shed Timer' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Thank you
Techman Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Will do. Updated the UI on 7/9. ISY Firmware 4.5.1. Not sure how to double check the UI version In the admin console, click on HELP | ABOUT. That will show you the version of the ISY firmware as well as the UI. If the UI in not 4.5.1 then, clear your Java cache, including applications and then download the 4.5.1 version of the Admin console from here http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/19162-release-451-is-now-official/ both the firmware and UI should be the same release. Let me know if that solved your issues.

larryllix Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Got it. Both 4.5.1 Enabled = ON Next try to manually initiate the same program your REST input would.
f.demello Posted August 3, 2016 Author Posted August 3, 2016 Ran the If/Then statements and I received the text. I had just changed the batteries in the sensor. Do these sensors die? Not that old (1-2 years). I also suspect all my leak sensors are not working as well (have 7). Will have to test
Techman Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) Ran the If/Then statements and I received the text. I had just changed the batteries in the sensor. Do these sensors die? Not that old (1-2 years). I also suspect all my leak sensors are not working as well (have 7). Will have to test The sensor sends out a heartbeat signal every 24 hours, you should have a program to monitor the sensor heartbeat. That way you'll know if the battery is low and/or if the sensor signal is being received. As with any RF only device you need to have a dual band device within close proximity to receive the RF signals. An external dual band device such as a on/off module, lamplinc etc will provide better RF coverage than a device mounted inside a wall Edited August 3, 2016 by Techman
larryllix Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 I just added an automatic reset and try again to my leak detectors low battery programs. I missed a heartbeat from one Leak detector and after checking the battery to be very fresh yet, changed my programs to still notify me, but start again, with a 23 hour Wait period and then start timing again. If I had a battery failure I would then get a nuisance notification every two days. Not too bad for a nuisance repeat cycle. If you are away there is not much you can do with a low battery anyway.

My leak sensor programs do have the heartbeat program but I don't in my 2 open/close sensors (although I just changed both batteries)
Michel Kohanim Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Hi f.demello, Please checkout this article: http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=INSTEON_No_Status_Feedback_From_Devices With kind regards, Michel
f.demello Posted August 28, 2016 Author Posted August 28, 2016 Hi f.demello, Please checkout this article: http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=INSTEON_No_Status_Feedback_From_Devices With kind regards, Michel I don't have that many devices. When I run the PLM Link Table it is coming up with 0. Very frustrating
Michel Kohanim Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Hi f.demello, Did you by any chance ever do File | Delete Modem? What happens when you do File | Restore Modem? Does the link count increase? With kind regards, Michel
f.demello Posted December 28, 2016 Author Posted December 28, 2016 Sorry for the delay. Put all the battery devices in programming mode. Ran through Restore Modem. Count is still 0. Is the ISY dead in the water?
paulbates Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 With a link count of 0 after a restore, I would suspect its the PLM. How old is the PLM, more than 2.5 years? Is the PLM's LED on? Paul
f.demello Posted December 29, 2016 Author Posted December 29, 2016 PLM blue light on. Rx flashing blue Note: I recently unplugged the PLM/ISY and plugged back in from something I saw on the internet. Still getting a 0 count.
paulbates Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 The primary diagnostic here is link count = 0, even after a restore modem/plm. I would order a new plm and follow the procedure for that: http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:File_Menu#Restore_Modem_.28PLM.29 Paul

Is it me or do they not seem to make sense? Your "Shed Trigger" program runs the "If" of your "Shed Timer" program but there is nothing in the "If" portion of your "Shed Timer" program so I would presume nothing would happen (or it would always run false/else?). Also, in your "Shed Timer" program why do you have a 5 minute wait at the end of the "Then" portion?
