theoretically, at some point we will get a http GUI that runs on the Polisy/Eisy box. Perhaps the Eisy will perform better when this task is layered on top? But I wouldn't think it would matter unless they really do something fantastic with the self-hosted web interface (like video and live action stuff vs just a console similar the java one).

I can't imagine what the mechanism could have been for Eisy to inhibit local manual operation of a switch. It was my understanding the local control of a switch was independent of any Insteon communication. Perhaps some flood of data between eisy and the switch upon pressing the button that swamped the switch cpu. It would have been curious to have watched the traffic on eisy.

I would start with one of your mis-behaving switches. Factory reset it and then restore it from ISY. Pull the tab out, leave it out for 10 seconds, then in one motion, push the tab in, all the way in, and hold it there for a good bit. The device will start to beep, don't let go, keep holding it in until the beep stops. That should factory reset it. Then go to ISY and restore it. I find it easier to use a butter knife to push the tab in and hold it with for the 10 or 15 seconds it takes to factory reset.

Thank you for that. The video only showed webhooks in the protect section, I assume nothing yet in access. I don't use ubiquiti protect, only network and access. EDIT: AS it turns out, I do "use" protect because they have integrated the door card reader cameras into protect.

I'm pretty sure on a 2477s, that if the led goes to the top, the load is on. Also, you would hear the relay inside click if it turns on. If both of those things happen, then I suspect the load is connected to a different switch.

When you manually walk up to the switch and click it. Do the led's on the switch rise up to the top indicating it should be on? Are you sure the load is connected to that switch and not another switch that you have in a scene with it? Certainly Insteon switches can fail and simply don't send power to the load. But if the load turns on when using Alexa, the switch is obviously not failed in that way. Some switches have failed where the tact switch no longer connects and thus when you push the button the computer in the switch doesn't know you pushed it. But that is a problem with much older switches and to my knowledge none of the dual band switches.

How do you transfer your settings from your phone to this? I have exported the ud mobile to my pc, but can't import them from blue stack emulator. EDIT: I figured out an easy way. I installed gmail in the blue stacks emulator and then emailed the file to myself and downloaded it from gmail within the emulator and then it was in the emulator download folder. Trouble is, when I tried to install the backup, it said there was a version conflict. I signed up for the beta version on my phone, I have now signed up for it in the emulator. Waiting to see if that works. EDIT 2: That worked.

This program will be false at startup (if set to run at startup). setting it to run at startup wont accomplish anything unless you intend to run the else clause.

Blank if will run true at startup if set to run at startup.

I would only add that the first time you need to manually run the first program. "run then". Since it is set to run at startup, any reboots will automatically get it going. As an alternative, you can install the time data node. Using that, you can have it run at a specific schedule rather than on a loop starting whenever the program first ran. In this case, no need to run at startup. Below is an example to run at the top and bottom of the hour, every hour. If 'TimeData' Minute is 0 minute Or 'TimeData' Minute is 30 minute Then Run Program '2' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

One of my pool pumps uses LV signaling to set the 4 speeds. I use a CAI webcontrol board which outputs 5v on the 4 signal wires to set the speeds. CAI has a plugin node for ISY. I wrote some programs and created some shortcuts in my pool favorites folder to create "radio buttons" where you can hit any of the speeds and it will turn off any other speed that might already be on. If your pump is just a simple on/off because it either is getting power or not, then I would use a high current relay to switch the pump that uses 120vac for the coil and then use an outdoor Insteon switch to control the relay. That is how I control an aerator for my pond.

What in the world would they do with all those switches getting shipped back to them? Seems like a big waste of resources shipping that stuff back just for them to chuck them in the trash bin.

Basically there are two things that can happen here. 1) messed up links in a device, but ISY links table correct 2) Messed up ISY links table. 1) Is easy to fix, factory reset the device and restore it from ISY You can very quickly do that to bunches of devices and I would just go ahead and do it, not just to a misbehaving device but all related devices, even most of the devices in your house. Also don't forget the plm is a device with links on it that could be incorrect. 2) is harder to fix. Delete devices from ISY, factory reset devices, add back to ISY and re create all the scenes and re-add to any programs. I have seen both, but number 2 has only happened to me once a very very long time ago and was probably related to when I first added ISY to my system and already had devices programmed manually and then imported them to ISY.

PM sent.

I feel your pain. I have seen similar ghost links. The only way to get rid of them as far as I can tell is to completely delete all involved devices from ISY, factory reset them, and bring them back into the fold from scratch. I found that shooting screen shots of all the scenes and whatnot from the admin console of ISY makes recreating the scenes again much easier. Same holds for any programs. This is an issue I had many years ago and seemed to have been a result of devices that died and needed to be replaced as well as moving devices around. I have not had issues like this in over a decade.
