I assume your Decora light switch is an Insteon SwitchLinc, and not a Zwave device. I am not sure how the Zwave querying works or if those devices are included. The other point to note is: if you use the native triggering style ISY program system you will get a notice of failure at 3:00 AM, right after the query. You may want to do you own time controlled polling, or create a time delay notification "not in the middle of the night". I hate when that happens.

Expand I was thinking the 3am query was something people did via a program, not ISY doing it on its own. I swear I used to have a program do that, but stopped because I would get programs running at 3am if the status of a device was corrected and that status was part of a program.

Expand My ISY came with one program installed. The 3:00 AM containing Query All. When people delete it they have no Query All. I have added a series of device off clean ups and delayed the query until 4:00 AM. Gotta' love those alarms in the middle of the night.? I mostly set flags and check them in the morning for lower urgency alarms like low batteries. Edited June 11, 2020 by larryllix 1

I had some "status" programs and when the status changed at 3am because of a missed com earlier in the day, stuff would happen at 3am. Most disconcerting was the occasional turning on of the whole house music system. The WAF on that was quite low. Also, I wasn't too fond of it either.
