Hi Matt,
Been working on this over the weekend. I am now thinking this may be just coincidence in timing of the upgrade to 2023.1. Mea culpa. There are no changes in my setup, but communications with multiple devices have become flaky over the last 10 days. I have an insteon outdoor appliance linc that seems to potentially be the culprit, but worried it could be the PLM. When I try to link to this device, it goes into linking mode and the PLM will make a loud acknowledgment, but it wont link. Both have been factory reset and problem still persists. Is it possible for a bad device to add noise to the signal and ruin the reliability of the system? Or is this more likely a PLM problem? Now that I've removed this device, it seems to be back running normally, but not enough data yet to be sure. All signal failures would seem to have been in the either getting signal to the device - sent on or off, but didn't turn on or off or signal got to the device and it did what it is supposed to, but ack did not get back to PLM. Making me think this is a new noise on the line issue. Devices are enough of a combo of old powerline and dual band ones that this doesn't seem super likely, but not impossible. Any insight would be welcome. Runs a greenhouse and flaky control of the heater is a big problem as we go into winter.
