Seems that whenever I make a change to anything, the ISY goes through at least 4 progress bars of "Please do no power off.unplug the system or make adjustments to linked/attached devices".

For example if I add a Z-Wave device to a scene it goes through this long process which could take a minute or two and gets a bit frustrating after a while. It's not just Z-Wave devices, any device and it takes a while updating things I don't think are relevant.

I look closely and it seems to be talking to Node Servers - I have ISYLink installed with DSC and ISY data nodes installed. ISY spends an awful long time talking to these nodes whenever I make a change elsewhere. Anyone else have this issue or is this just issue with ISYLink? What about Polyglot - would that do same thing? Is my ISY in a strange configuration?

 

I am using 5.0.16

 

Could be comm problems where ISY keeps trying repeatedly, or a program that is locked into a tight loop. I/O is the usual bottleneck for ISY.
Check your program summary page and sort them by running vs static programs and watch the table. Sometimes you can see icons flashing repeatedly.

I don't think I have an I/O problem, I am just wondering why it wants to do some updates to node server devices when I do something unrelated like even change LED backlight level on a SwitchLInc for example. Here is a video and don't see why it has to try to update a Zwave 014_1 device (which is a ZOOZ double-plug on/off node) and isylink DSC Alarm and ISY data nodes when I am just changing a backlight level.

 

 

 

I think I solved the problem.

I recently upgraded PLM. I had a couple Insteon motion detectors that I didn't really care about for long time (batteries dead and too lazy to change). Anyways they had pending writes on them. Tonight I put new batteries in them and did the write changes. Now my Insteon updates instantly and doesn't take a long time anymore. Seems ISY was hung up on fact that it had some updates to write somewhere which cause the entire process to slow down when I did an update on any device.
