I have a suggested approach based on me having copied web pages onto my ISY994i when I used Benoit's HAD (Home Automation Dashboard). Had some notes I kept, but it was a lot of hair ago. Also I had to move a corrupted file back on my ISY at some point in time This caveat is to say I haven't had a 994 in a long time and haven't used PUTTY or a telnet client in years. So some info and things to try but I'm not sure this will work exactly: On the SD card, navigate to the /CONF directory. Look for files named programs.* Ideally: programs.xml programs.ndx programs.bak (if present) These contain your ISY program definitions. Install Putty Telnet on your PC Connect via putty to your ISY ip address via port 23 Look and see if program files are there by entering: ls /CONF Confirm if this is there: programs.xml Use a file transfer tool that supports Telnet file copy (e.g., pscp if using PuTTY or scp if SSH is enabled). Copy the programs.xml and programs.ndx from your PC’s SD card to the ISY’s /CONF directory: Fuzzy on this part, maybe someone else can fill in. The DOS file reference SDCARD will be your name for the SD Card pscp C:\SDCARD\CONF\programs.xml admin@[ISY_IP_ADDRESS]:/CONF/programs.xml pscp C:\SDCARD\CONF\programs.ndx admin@[ISY_IP_ADDRESS]:/CONF/programs.ndx A few last caveats If I have the above putty/scp syntax wrong, there will be documentation on the web about putty or scp and moving files I'm not sure how the UUID plays with these files, but let's see if you can get any where with the above. If the files on the card are corrupted, the ISY probably is not restoring them for that reason and 'force copying' them using the above steps will likely give unpredictable results. Again this is not step by step but gets you something to look at and try

Are the programs that control the lights in a single folder? You could disable that folder for the night by putting a condition on it that can't be met. I did something similar for Halloween when I wasn't able participate. The caveat is if any of the lights are motion sensor activated by a scene. I had a Insteon MS for my driveway flood lights and I would take down at those times.

Yes this happened earlier this year. I only use my door bell as a motion sensor and it doesn't get tripped often but I wanted front lights to come on if I pull in the driveway after they have been turned off. I had the version prior to 1.2.6 and upgraded, re-authenticated and it's been fine. @oberkc Kind of a guess, but pull the battery out of the ring device. Restart the plugin and then plug the battery back in, then re-test. (Eg, maybe the device itself got messed up)

The leak sensor's manual indicates the following:

I'm not sure why the designers thought is was necessary, but there is one node for a dry state and one for a wet state... and they are always the opposite of each other. There's also one for the heartbeat. Typically wet and dry are both labled so that leaves the heartbeat. I'm taking a guess that your naming scheme "overran" the amount of space for the wet/dry names, but it seems wet and dry should both fit (?) Unless someone else has a better idea, you might have to delete it from the ISY and re-add it without renaming... both the wet and dry names should be there. Then rename them once you know which is which

In iox, you right click on the device and pick restore device

Arrows are how the ISY indicates a contact device like an alarm sensor or door strike. A input sensor points to the right and a contact output points left. It is normal.

If you scroll through the top of this Hue part of the forum, there are related posts and things to try

Based on your diagnostic steps, which look correct to me, this is the logical conclusion. 2 more thoughts: Did you replace the light bulb itself? Since the load key is misbehaving, this doesn't seem reasonable A more remote possibility is that the wiring / wire nut didn't like what happened and needs to be looked at. You're on your way there because of switch replacement. Again with the key misbehaving it doesn't seem reasonable.

A common thread has been safari, as the browser, giving that error. It's a reason I haven't ventured in yet.

I have 3 leak sensors that cover my hot water tank, sump pump area and well. I have them set up 3 ways 1- There are linked via a scene to an Insteon chime module in the house so it "screams" if any of them go off 2- I have a program that sends a specific notification for each one. I use the paid for notification plugin and get the notifications via push over, but you can do email, text etc Well - Wet - [ID 0014][Parent 000E] If 'Leak Sensors / Well Wet' is switched On Then Set 'Notifications / Service Pushover alerts' Send Sys Custom With Params Priority=Emergency Sound=Siren Retry=30 Expire=60 Content 7 Notification ID (ID=7) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') 3- I also have a program that tracks the once-a-day heartbeat message from the leak sensor. If it stops coming, the leak sensor battery is dead and I want to know: Well Heartbeat - [ID 0010][Parent 0032] If 'Leak Sensors / Leak Sensor Battery / Well Heartbeat' is switched On Or 'Leak Sensors / Leak Sensor Battery / Well Heartbeat' is switched Off Then Wait 25 hours Set 'Notifications / Service Pushover warnmsg' Send Sys Custom With Params Priority=Normal Sound=Vibrate Only Retry=30 Expire=60 Content 4 Notification ID (ID=4) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') The 25 hour wait is because if the message comes once a day, the program restarts. If the battery dies it doesn't send an

Also, it will work better, if they are Insteon switches, if you put the lights in a scene and turn the single scene on and off. When you have 4 back-to-back Insteon commands, the Insteon traffic for them is colliding and affecting some of them not going on. That doesn't happen with a scene It also turns them all on / off simultaneously which I like better, and not "popcorn" lights

If you have the USB model (ends in a U), it will plug right into eisy. If you have a serial (ends with an S), you need to buy the serial to USB adapter from UDI when you buy the eisy. If is not HW version 2.4 (or higher, there's a sticker on it), I'd consider replacing it as it comes from a time when cheaper capacitors were used and they are notorious for failing. If it's 2.4 (or greater) moving it over will save some time in not having to update your Insteon network to be programmed for a new PLM.

@Techman is right in that you are seeing signs of "the beginning of the end". I'd order, have a PLM on hand and schedule time for replacement on your terms, not when it finally stops responding
