I am attempting to link a number of devices together via groups on the PLC. When I configure PH to set up these groups, PH stops sending commands after the first device controller status changes to Verified. PH stops sending out commands via the DM after this occurs - the responder status for the first device is not recognized and no other activity occurs on the DM until I delete the links to the PLC that I'm trying to create. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Jim,

Are you using the 1.03.4.7-3 patch? If so, one other user has reported that background activity sometimes just stops when creating links. Restart/Reboot does not fix it and only going back to the pre-patch phctlrs.pbd file or removing the links gets things moving again.

So far, we've been unable to reproduce it yet. If your database is still in this current state (no background activity...waiting to create links), could you please email it to me? Once I am able to reproduce on my end, then I should be able to quickly isolate the problem and get it fixed.

Thanks,

Dave.

Dave,

Yes it is still in the same state. In fact I can easily reproduce the issue. If I delete the devices that are in a pending link state, PH starts up again and begins communicating with the other devices. As soon as it tries to make that first link to one of the devices, PH stops all activity. The PLC is not locked up as I can watch the incoming Insteon activity on it.

I'm using 1.03.4.7-3 patched.

I will be sending you my db shortly. Thanks!
Jim

Jim,

Got the database and a great big thanks goes out to you. Found the problem staring me right in the face and got it patched.

See this thread for further info: http://www.power-home.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=645&PN=1
