A few days ago, I was checking my EISY's setup in Admin Console. (V6.0.5) I had a scene called "All Lights" that I set up years ago. I decided to update it by adding more light switches and lamp modules. I right-clicked a number of items and selected "Add to Scene" and selected All Lights. After saving the changes I tested the Scene by turning it on and off. All the lights around me were activated as expected. So far so good.

Then awhile later I went to my kitchen and turned on one of the three wall switches. No response. I tried a second switch, and it was nonfunctional as well. The third switch (master switch connected to the load) worked OK. I had to re-link the two slave switches to the main switch again (in both directions).

Later I went to my bedroom and turned on the light switch. A pole lamp on an appliance module formerly linked to the wall switch no longer worked. I had to link it to the switch again.

When I told Alexa to turn off the lights, the pole lamp didn't react. I had to go to the "Bedroom Lights" scene in Admin Console and remove and then re-add that module to the scene again.

My memory is faint, but I believe this is not the first time something like this has happened to me (I've been using EISY and Insteon for 25 years). It's very rare, but then I don't make changes to my Admin Console very often.

I haven't checked all my other devices to see if anything else was messed up, yet.

Why did the simple act of adding devices to a scene corrupt so many links, both in the devices themselves and in the EISY? Rather frustrating.

Maybe it's because you added several devices in one shot?

IDK. This is first time I've added so many things to a scene. But how is the EISY wiping out existing links within and between the modules? Makes no sense.

Oh, and now when I start up Admin Console I get a pop-up box titled "New Insteon Devices" and shows me the address for an 2635-222 On/Off Module. Sure enough it is the pole lamp's module. Every time I open Admin Console this dialog appear, and all I can do is close it.

This module has been in use for years and worked perfectly until the changes described earlier.

This is reminiscent of problems on several devices I was having before I upgraded to v6.0.5. Now it's happening again. Ugh.

I'll reboot EISY and see if this goes away.

Reboot got rid of the "New Insteon Devices" false dialog.
