    Help! Lost all my INSTEON devices

    I am using the ISY INSTEON plugin and am getting errors the log for ALL of my INSTEON devices. ISY device mapping error.
    At start up of HS the log reports query ISY failure. I can login to the ISY99 UI and control the devices successfully. Not from Homeseer.
    I tried cycling power on the ISY99. Restart HS and the Resync with ISY button. Nothing seems to re-establish the mapping between ISY and Homeseer.

    Please Help!
    Panic is setting in here. Amazing how we learn to rely on home automation

    I feel a MAJOR rebuild here. Over 100 devices.

    HS aside for the moment, are you able to log into your ISY and access devices through the admin console?

      Sounds like the isy firmware doesn't match with the plugin version. Look at the post at the top of the forum and make sure you have the right plugin version.

      A rebuild should not be neccassry.

        Thanks Bob!!!

        Thank Bob,
        That was exactly the problem.
        I upgraded the plugin through the updater and my INSTEON devices are back!!

        I of course did this to myself, I upgraded the firmware in the ISY because I was having some trouble recently adding 2 morninglincs for 2 morning industry deadbolt locks. I got them added (not sure if the firmware upgrade helped)

        I do have a question about the morninglincs. When I tap linked them it created 2 devices in the ISY UI and in HomeSeer for each lock. Why 2? They both appear to work the same way. (toggling either one will toggle the lock)

        Thanks again for your help

        Tom

          Errors from MorningLinc modules

          Bob,
          I am getting errors in the log when I toggle one of the Morning Industry locks using a MorningLinc module using the ISY. The lock does toggle.

          ISY internal error category TYPE_ACCESS_CONTROL string conversion not defined

          I also get 4 of these error at Startup.
          I have 2 MorningLinc modules.

          Any idea what is causing this?

          Thanks
          Tom

            I don't know why there are two devices for the morninglincs, that is something UDI does and you' have to ask them. There was a thread on the udi site about this.

            I don't have a morninglinc so I'll need help to get support in the plugin beyond the generic support for that type of device.

            I'm out of the country withvery limited access right now.

              Thanks Bob
              I searched the UDI forum and found:

              You can add them as responders to scenes. One for lock and one for unlock.

              With kind regards,
              Michel

                When I get back next week I'll work on adding support for the morninglincs. The error isn't anything fatal, it is there so that I find out when something needs additional support. It should be pretty simple to add the needed support but I'll we'd your help to verify that I got it right.

                    Bob,
                    Any progress or status on adding support to the plugin for MorningLinc modules?

                    Thanks

                      Hi Tom,

                      What version of the plug-in are you using?

                      I went to add support and it looks like it's already there so I guess I added it some time ago. 1.0.3.8 should work. If that's what you're using, then I'll need to see the debug log from the plug-in to figure out what's going on.

                          Bob,
                          Where can I get version 1.3.0.8?
                          The version on the updater is 1.3.0.0

                            Hi Tom,

                            The first post in this forum has the latest beta version of the plug-in attached. The post gets updated as I release new versions and includes release notes and installation instructions. The beta versions automatically make use of your existing license.

                            The latest version is 1.0.3.14

                            http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=149091

                            Eventually I'll push a new version to the Updater. I was thinking that 1.0.3.14 probably has enough new features and bug fixes to get promoted to release status.

                              Thanks Bob.
                              I upgraded to 1.0.3.14.
                              Seems ok, still testing.
                              What is the FLEX your power device that is created in HS?
