arw01 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 My caps replaced modem made it another 4 years, but a pair or all on events, one at 5:40 in the morning was the last straw. Ordered a new modem on black friday pricing. That took about a week to show up and I unplugged the old modem for the week. This appears to have really caused me issues as the ISY apparently has a week or more of queries and program writes and non communications that it must work through before it will do a modem restore. I've been coming along for days and causing it to try and restore one device. Still waiting to get there. Is there a way to completely wipe out the que so I can do the modem restore actual writes to the devices? Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Hi @arw01, What you need to do is to Restore Devices: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:File_Menu#Restore_Devices With kind regards, Michel Link to comment
arw01 Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 The steps for restore device have finished on the ISY, but I am still no closer. I just factory reset a light switch that has a access point near it, the PLM within 10' and it just appears to completely not respond. Not a single device seems to be restored. Beginning to wonder if I got a defective modem from Smarthome.

paulbates Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) Another thing to consider is "pollution" of the master copy of Insteon network information in the ISY itself, as the original PLM slowly fell apart. Do you have a good back up of your ISY from before the PLM started to fail? If yes Unplug ISY and PLM Factory reset and plug in the plm, then plugin the ISY Restore that backup Retry Restore PLM Some devices may have to be factory reset to get them working, or the "01010" to go away if there was a lot of insteon management activity in this state.

arw01 Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 I had one from about 3 weeks back prior to the two ALL ON events that drove me to replace it. 5:30am with an all on and the wife wokeup did not go un-noticed! This morning with the power line still filtered not a single cannot communicate on the overnight query. So far only once device has not taking programming and of course it's a later model one from the last couple of years and way up on the ceiling requiring the long ladder to get at. Link to comment
arw01 Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 I consider this closed. Putting the filter on to stop powerline communications has made the network much more solid. My last mystery is why it keeps trying to communicate with a motion sensor. I've tried write, query etc, but it seems to want to communicate with it every day. Link to comment

I've tried write, query etc, but it seems to want to communicate with it every day. Can you successfully update it by right-clicking, selecting "write changes", and waking it up? If it keeps switching into "I need to be updated" mode every day, are you using the "adjust scene" functionality in a program to change the way it responds? If so, that will unfortunately and mistakenly (in my opinion) mark the motion sensor as needing an update every time and you won't be able to easily clear that state. I just turn off writes to battery-operated devices to prevent the ISY from getting stuck trying to update my motion sensors. Link to comment
