I migrated my ISY994i to an EISY a while ago. Everything seems to be working fine, but from the very begining there was a "Query All" program that had the comment line "Factory Query Program" that was there from the start and I never messed with it. I just noticed that in my EISY the program shows yellow and it has the lines:

" //Warning: Unrecognized Action (program may not run)

''<cmd NODE="00:21:b9:02:3f:3b" ID="QUERY"/>"

Not sure what the program was for and if it is even needed anymore. Has anyone else seen this?

It did a Query of all the modules in the setup. To find their status and see if any of them where not reachable. Mine was 3:00 AM. I do not know how important it is these days of almost all dual band devices.

Can't say about Eisy as I am still on an ISY994i.

So I checked my old ISY and the NODE is the Mac address of the 994i.

So I need to change the line to my current mac address. but not sure how to load the line to say <cmd NODE="**:**:**:**:**:**" ID="QUERY"/>

Any Ideas?

I don’t believe that one can directly edit the MAC address of a command line. I think one just needs to remove the failed command (remove line) and recreate the equivalent new action from the drop-down menus.

Whole House:Query All -

If

Time is 3:30:00AM

Then

Set 'My Lighting' Query

Else

- No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

@MTellevik the program @hart2hart posted above is correct for how it should look if recreated. Note that "My Lighting" would be different if you have changed the folder near the top of the eisy device tree. In ISY994 times the default root folder would be ISY and the next folder would be "My Lighting". I believe that might have changed in eisy times and be "eisy" and "eisy". Sometimes users will change the folder name for be descriptive of their home or loaction. The name may be at (or near) the bottom of the device listing when you update/make the program. So be sure you scroll all the way down the device list to see something that matches the name of the second folder in the device tree.

From Polisy to eisy releases UD has not put this query program in as a defacult program in the system. I think as @Brian H points out it's not known if it is as necessary with dual band devices as their communication is much better than powerline only devices. Most that migrated from the ISY994 to Polisy/eisy have kept the query program, but those that just started with Polisy or eisy have not seemed to have any issue with it not bieng there from the start. It might depend on what kind of devices you have as to if it's needed for your system or not. You said you migrated a "while" ago. If things have been running fine you probably don't really need it, but it's not really hurting anything to update it and let it run. I might caution you to adjust the run time to a few seconds off the exact hour mark just in case you've got other thigns running on the hour. The query program does create a lot of Insteon traffic and could cause a colision if other programs trigger about the same time.

My folder tree starts with "Network" then under that is "ISY" I also have folders under network for different rooms and scenes. I'm still working through a setup that makes sense. (See Main Listing below)

Shoud they all be under the ISY folder?

Under the ISY folder I have a bunch of individual units that I have not put in folders yet. Should they all be under the ISY folder?

I'm thinking that the query command I've set will only query the ISY folder and none of the others? (see Query below)

Thank for all the info! Just really started digging into what this system can do and trying to streamline things.

If you click on ISY, I believe you’ll see all your devices.

Some are uner the other folders, that's I think I should have everything under the ISY forlder. (Which I think I should rename to "Home" or something like that.

I’m not at home but if you select ISY, do the devices in the right hand pane show all your devices?

Yes they do!

Had not thought to check that.

Thanks!
