There's always a few simple things to try with Insteon that don't take that much time to try and see if they work. In iox try right clicking on the sensor for the garage door open close (assuming an iolinc) and click Restore Device

Guessing "no". The forums indicate that they haven't logged in since August 14, 2022.

There's software under development that would replace the admin console a web and/or app that would be served off of eisy. The end of year 24 announcement was that the foundational underpinnings were installed with the big update from earlier this year... which is different than the finished product being delivered and ready. In a different post, I recall that initially it would be Insteon only in the first rev when that's delivered. It's not there in usable form yet.

It sounds like you did everything to eliminate java on the PC (assuming its a pc). Anything else PC wise change? New PC, network card, virus software?

This does happen with Insteon from time to time per @Techman's explanation. In my experience keypads and the old togglincs tend to be the biggest culprits, sometimes needing a restore device every few years. Another factor is sometimes new devices come from the factory needing to be factory reset. You may have had 2 from a production run where this was the case.

I do have several N-ways but no resume dim. What I have noticed on the i3 paddle flags is that value presented by iox is not what's actually in the switch. Have had several "hmmm?" moments on that. The way to check is to go to the flags value for one of the responders and see if resume dim is what you think it should be.... Then press Query while on the flags value. What happens? In either case, press the resume dim button in the flags again to force the setting to the switch One that got me was "disable rf". I have an i3 paddle in a far away location and it was not communicating properly. On querying the flags, Disable RF was on(?) and the approach I described above fixed it.

There is an SD Card. The SD card is essentially the hard drive of the ISY. The operating system and all of your automation are stored there. Though this article is for the ISY26, it is still relevant https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Replacing/Formatting_an_SD_Card

Flashing blue is a SD memory card issue. Try reseating the SD card issue. It can be cleaned with a pencil eraser before reseating If its an older ISY 994i, chances are the card needs to be replaced

It will take to statements to get the total in the variable: $TempGradient = $inside temp $TempGradient -= $outside temp The -= means subtract $outside temp from $Tempgradient. $Tempgradient has to be a state variable, as is any variable that is used in an If statement

Glad you are making progress! There would be some starting over with the hub. If you don't have plans to change things much, it might be best to stick with the ISY unless something else happens to make it hard to use.

The hub is a simpler solution, but it's hard to say without details and what simple means. There's a point where the hub can't do what the ISY can. Can you define simple? Programs with schedules? Programs that take actions other than schedules? Programs that do variables and math . +- / x ..etc?

Take a read through this thread. Start with cleaning and reseating the sd card. If it works and you're not going to migrate to polisy for a while, consider the steps to replace the card.

There's several possibilities: ISY needs a reboot I'd suggest unplugging the isy, waiting 10 seconds and replugging. Wait a few minutes and try to access it again If that doesn't work, it might be the SD Card is bad. Try one, and if that doesn't work, reply back and we'll go from there

my.isy.io is for the portal, which is additional services and requires a small fee subscription. You're looking to get local access to your ISY, which different, and free, it's located here: https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp This downloads the isy admin console software, now known as iox, and is a java application which will run on the Java you installed. Once you do that, you should see an UDI icon on your desktop. Double click that to run iox. Having said all that, the interface you're presented with takes a little time to get used to. There a several training references which include a wiki, and also doc called the ISY Cook Book. Take a look at this link for references to start navigating your new world
