HI. Finally ported all my old insteon devices to HA, set up scripts and got them all working.
This morning i awoke and my pool cleaner and heater had not turned on.
The overview panel shows that literally all my insteon devices are “off” but they will not trigger manually. Other integration (hunter douglas) work fine. Drilling down into the devices shows them listed as ophans. All of them…
I rebooted the Raspberry Pi that houses HA. no luck.
Any ideas?

Do you have a Hub or PLM or? If it’s a Hub, be sure the IP address did not change .
hmmm. I have the hub. (wish i didn’t…)
Router show IP the same as before
But DOS window returns this:
C:\Users\xxxx>ping 192.168.1.208

Have refreshed the browser link to the router; still shows the hub with the prior IP.
all help appreciated.

I find that the Router can sometimes report an old address. I use a tool like “Advanced IP Scanner” and run a scan, look for “Smarthome” device (I have two here because one Hub is used for testing and it is off now as you can see the icon is greyed out, the other is alive at that IP address).
Also, what do you see in Settings/Integrations? Does it show an issue in connecting?
Or in the logs at startup?
the log showed the connection error
I ran the advanced IP scanner and you were right. The Mac address of the hub did not show up.
I rebooted the hub and am all back on line.
THANK YOU!!!
Any idea why this happens? My Insteon hub and the main cable modem/wfi box are both on UPS, so a power glitch should not have been the cause. Insteon gremlins?.
Awesome. Because you cannot now change the IP address ot your Hub, have you “reserved” an address in your router for it? Most routers that are providing the DHCP addresses will also allow you for “reserve” an address for a particular device even if it is in the DHCP address range. You basically bind the Mac to say 192.168.2.60 or whatever and it will never change. You should do this if you have not done it.
I have at&t router and under “IP Address Allocation” I can do this (change it from “pool” to “fixed”):
