Illusion Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Before I change anything to try to fix this and loose the root cause I was wanting input on a new issue that appeared last night. My ISY stopped seeing Dim/Bright commands from devices in the house. Everything else seems to be working fine. Thought? Has anyone else ever seen this?

LeeG Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Check the PLM for link records. The Start/Stop Manual Change (Dim/Bright) messages are Group Broadcast messages only (no follow up Group Cleanup Direct). If the PLM lacks a matching link record it will not process the Group Broadcast message.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illusion Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Thanks LeeG. Looking at PLM link records is extremely difficult for me as I have many outdoor motion detectors and thermostat adapters. It is nearly impossible for me to get a quite enough environment to get PLM link records without interruption. Even when I isolate the PLM from the power line, it is a dual band model and I have a tough time keeping RF commands from stopping PLM link reads. As such, based on your post, I rebooted the PLM and ISY and now all is well, so I am guessing a glitch in either the PLM or the ISY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Kohanim Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Hello Illusion, Did you have this problem only when you did dim/brt from the devices themselves or also when you did dim/brt from the Admin Console? With kind regards, Michel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illusion Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 From Devices. I did not attempt dim/bright any device from the Admin console. Noticed that programs that responded to Dim/Bright commands stopped working. That is what clued me in to issue. Used event viewer to look for comms, which there were none on device bright/dim, but other comms seemed fine. But as LeeG pointed out, that could be because of group cleanup, which I suspect is right. Earlier in the evening, I noticed two programs failed to run that are triggered by status of devices. These programs ran fine in subsequent tests. I attributed it to a rare glitch, but now I suspect that the group command was not heard, and the group cleanup from the devices was interrupted causing the miss in the ISY.

Michel Kohanim Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Hi Illusion, Thank you. I wished I could just let it go but I have a nagging feeling that this might happen again. If it does, would you be kind enough to let us know immediately? I would like to run some test just to make sure it's the PLM and not the ISY's firmware.
