Insteon Leak Sensors not working in ISY on Polisy

I keep getting this error on the device.  And thats after deleting, resetting, and reinstalling.

Its a bogus error as it says SMTP.  I tested and SMTP server is working fine.

I think there is something wrong here. 

Reboot your ISY and then check them   Try to set them off.  Wont work for me

Guys- all of you- Thank you for just being there even if you just say hi   LOL

I just have had bad luck.  I had 3 PLM's  The first one died. 

Before I knew that I had all the issues with Polisy due to that and went back to ISY.  Then I had a dead sim.  Then I put a new SIM in and the backups would not restore.  Said file size was not expected (of course at 95%).  I backup about 1-3 times a day and store 2 years of backups.  So I tried randomly going back.  Well thats bad luck #3 (PLM, SIM, and now backups).  I have a large system and MY ISY is overloaded with 21 nodeservers.  It reboots a lot.  A lot of the time I am using the Admin console when it reboots.  I had to write a program that runs on startup to send message it rebooted because most of the time I dont even know (Sometimes it freezes on way back and sometimes if in admin I get another login screen)   So what I found happens is if it reboots while backing up the backup keeps going in admin console but does not tell you- Thus corrupt backups.  So instead of randomly trying them (And whats the odds of trying about 6 backups all the way back into last year and I pick all the bad ones)  I did them one by one and found one  from last Thursday night that restored (not that bad)

Then scenes were still not working so I had to restore the PLM again.   Now they are all working and back to rebuilding.  I have to get to the point where I was when this started.  Z-Wave.  Just in case I ordered another Zooz from Amazon for delivery today.

back to work.  THANKS for all your support.  Do I get the bad luck award?

Due to some other issues I went back to my at 994 I and I can tell you they worked fine. Then I restore polisy from scratch and then brought over the backup   they were showing no status. I deleted them all and added them all again and still no status and then by accident I hit one of the buttons just quick press and instantly showed heartbeat on, dry on and went off. I did that for all of them and thought I had it until I rebooted the ISY and now it's back to the same way

 

Any ideas??

I posted on here that I'm having a lot of problems with the insteon leak sensors on ISY on polisy

Any ideas on another one that works with polisy. 

Problem is I need about a dozen of them so it can't be too expensive

I already run wireless tags an ecowitt/   worst case I can use their products probably

Likely another unhelpful post but I moved to IoP and my Insteon (& z-wave) leak sensors are working.

I did use a new PLM as I went to a USB version, needed to do a restore PLB and have since needed to restore most of my devices one by one.  (I have felt like the restore PLM stopped in the middle of things). 

again, more to give you hope than do I think this is helpful.

I recently went from a couple z-wave to a bunch.  We installed a new bathroom and bar in the basement so needed a bunch of leak sensors.  Couldn't get more Insteon at the time.  I am using the Zooz and the HomeSeer leak sensors.  Both work fine flawlessly, the HomeSeer has an optional extension which comes with it ; I used it in the sump.  I added a few z-wave extenders of the Aeotech variety to get where I needed to go.   More expensive than the Insteon but not out of this world.

Insteon battery sensors will not show status until there is an update. Updates are usually around every 24 hours unless triggered.
