  1. The page will download start.jnlp. Do you see any recent files in your download folder or the desktop?
  2. Follow the instructions in this post, including clearing java cache. Do you have java installed?
  3. Yeh I know that you researched this well and pointed that out before. I exchanged emails with Insteon a while back, curious if it would include i3 and didn't get answer to that part which I take as a "no". If it was proposed that long ago it's plausible it's design predates i3. I'd be happy with one that is updated, faster and more powerful. It was mentioned late last year that it would be summer time (I think) this year. .... Also UDI would have to include it in iox. Since they have a wrench in that anyway right now (V6 & 7), the timing would be better than it has been for the last few years from a release perspective.
  4. Thanks for the summary, that's appreciated. For matter, they have the same issue that UDI has.. due to the size and complexity of matter's evolving codebase, a small army of programmers is needed to get it up on its feet. Barring that, it will take time. Google, Apple, et al... and to a certain extent HA as a community have the bodies to throw at it. Insteon started soft pedaling about the their commitment to matter about a year ago for I believer that reason. I was looking for them to have the new PLM product in the store with 4x link table, improved operational design and (I think) a stronger powerline radio. I think the specs have been around a while. Sounds like that was not brought up
  5. The SOAP interface is in the wiki here
  6. In addition to the soap api there is the rest API. There you'll find: /rest/query/<node> queries the given node Returns: Success or Error status EDIT: Scroll way down and there is a websockets section. Pretty sure you'd have to take all events as they came and filter on the handful you want, but you'd get just the updates coming from the ISY and opposed to getting all devices every time. Old school, I know but pre polyglot nodeservers like NODELINK made use of it and it can work well
  7. never mind, went back to re-read. @Guy Lavoie is right, factory reset them and restore device XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX IGNORE THE REST Not sure what "not responding correctly" means... won't turn them on, Alexa won't turn them on, Or both?
  8. What are they controlling, landscape lights on a transformer, or LEDs? Try unplugging the load and retesting with iox. If that works, the load is generating noise If it keeps not working, they are probably too far away for single or dual band to reach. In either case, see if you can place a dualband module somewhere inside or outside closer to them and it will repeat wirelessly
  9. Literally speaking switchlink and icon are older brands and maybe were setup in the distant past?. Something to know first is that you can not turn on an N-way by turning on an individual switch. You have to create a Scene entry in the portal for the switches and use their scene. Turning on an individual switch will not work Several other things it could be #1 Is there a chance you linked them at the switch using Insteon's manual linking, as opposed to doing it by creating an Insteon scene in the admin console? The symptoms you are seeing have that as one explanation. If you don't know, click on each switch in the admin console and look on the far right... do they show scene participation? If no - create an Insteon scene, with all 3 as controllers from the linking menus. Turn the scene on and off as described above #2 If yes - and all three are participants in that same scene, right click on any one of them, it does not matter, and click "restore device". Turn the scene on and off as described above
  10. There is a notification plugin section in forums. While the answer is probably in between the plugin and 6.0/7.2, his help will be needed, he'llvwant debug level logs from the plugin starting up.... and posted in the notifications section of the forum. He likely won't see it here
  11. For the eisy network applications I can think of, WiFi 5 or 6 bandwidths are both like bringing a nuke to a fist fight... meaning WAY more than necessary for rest, mqtt, etc. There is a security difference but can only be exploited by your neighbors or someone parked in your driveway,
  12. That is the case. My experience with several 8003s is that the sensor display updates every 5 to 10 seconds, but the report out of the temp to the hub/cloud is more like 10 minutes, which is how they support the +2 year battery life by not incessantly reporting In practice the response to input varies because it depends on where the cycle is at when it reports out to the hub/cloud. I have one near my bathroom shower and it kicks on the vent fan when the humidity rises a certain %. I can look at the sensor before/after and see that it has, but its rando how long it takes for the fan to actually start I'm also pretty sure that if you set the upper/lower alarm thresholds it will respond faster and also use more battery. If you're using Alexa, i expect that same delayed response. Probably good for someplace like an attic where the temps rise/fall slowly.
  13. I've seen a few posts from 994 users asking about upgrading to eisy. There's another version of eisy hardware just released, read the link for the differences. There's also a new 994 upgrade path discount offer good through 11/21. Universal DevicesIntroducing eisy | home r2!eISY, ev, iot, matter, node server, plugin, powerwall, smartgrid, storage, tesla
  14. Ok, you're within spec then. Doing the math on the watts of the bulb, it would have been a factor if they were multi-ganged
  15. There's this obscure comment down in that (most other dimmer) switchlinc's manual. If you've side-by-side double ganged the switch, the rating for the switch drops significantly. If there are 3 in a row its really low. If your's is multi-ganged, it may have worked at one time but probably over time lead to the the failure of the switch
