Hi Steve, I have also experienced MH thinking that some link needs to be added or removed (orphan link) when nothing has changed. I think that is caused by MH receiving a corrupted message that carries an ALDB entry while scanning devices' link tables. This corruption has always bothered me but apparently there is nothing that can be done. Perhaps one needs i2CS devices everywhere to be free of this type of corruption? I don't know. What I do in those cases is to rescan the link table of the affected device, and if I get the links correctly (no corruption) then MH doesn't think that something is missing.

Every time I try to sync, it says that the ALDB is old for devices. I scan them, then sync, something else is (sometimes also) stale. I've also seen this... where the PLM modules thinks the PL is getting reset during lots of activity: 11/27/13 11:01:22 PM [Insteon::BaseController] Adding controller record to $s_kit_fanhi for $fl_kitchen_fan cmd = add; data3 = 14; group = 14; is_controller = 1; 11/27/13 11:01:22 PM [Insteon::BaseController] Adding controller record to $s_kit_fanhi for $kpl_kit1_d cmd = add; data3 = 14; group = 14; is_controller = 1; 11/27/13 11:01:22 PM [Insteon::BaseController] Adding controller record to $s_kit_fanhi for $kpl_kit1_a cmd = add; data3 = 14; group = 14; is_controller = 1; 11/27/13 11:01:22 PM [Insteon_PLM] WARN: PLM unable to complete requested PLM link table update (update/add controller record) for group: 14 and deviceid: 229257 11/27/13 11:01:22 PM [Insteon::ALDB_PLM] WARN: attempt to add link to PLM that already exists! deviceid=229257, group=14, is_controller=1, subaddress=14 11/27/13 11:01:22 PM [Insteon_PLM] WARN: PLM unable to complete requested PLM link table update (update/add controller record) for group: 14 and deviceid: 21cc1e 11/27/13 11:01:22 PM [Insteon::ALDB_PLM] WARN: attempt to add link to PLM that already exists! deviceid=229257, group=14, is_controller=1, subaddress=14 11/27/13 11:01:22 PM [Insteon::ALDB_PLM] WARN: attempt to add link to PLM that already exists! deviceid=229257, group=14, is_controller=1, subaddress=14 11/27/13 11:01:22 PM [Sync all links] Now syncing: $s_back_spot1 (33 of 187) 11/27/13 11:01:22 PM [Sync all links] Now syncing: $s_hall_light (34 of 187) 11/27/13 11:01:22 PM [Insteon::BaseController] Adding responder record to $sl_foyer1 from $s_hall_light on_level = 100; cmd = add; data3 = 01; group = 16; is_controller = 0; ramp_rate = 0; 11/27/13 11:01:23 PM [Insteon::BaseObject] The link table for $sl_foyer1 is in sync. 11/27/13 11:01:23 PM [Insteon::ALDB_i2] $sl_foyer1 writing address: 0fcf for device: 223ea7 and group: 16 11/27/13 11:01:23 PM $sl_foyer1 is 100% 11/27/13 11:01:23 PM First Floor: a 1st floor light is now 100% 11/27/13 11:01:23 PM [Insteon_PLM] Detected PLM user reset to factory defaults 11/27/13 11:01:23 PM [Insteon_PLM] Detected PLM user reset to factory defaults 11/27/13 11:01:26 PM [Insteon_PLM] Detected PLM user reset to factory defaults 11/27/13 11:01:26 PM [Insteon_PLM] Detected PLM user reset to factory defaults 11/27/13 11:01:29 PM [Insteon_PLM] Detected PLM user reset to factory defaults 11/27/13 11:01:29 PM [Insteon_PLM] Detected PLM user reset to factory defaults 11/27/13 11:01:31 PM [Insteon_PLM] Detected PLM user reset to factory defaults 11/27/13 11:01:31 PM [Insteon_PLM] Detected PLM user reset to factory defaults 11/27/13 11:01:34 PM Motion sensed in Kitchen. 11/27/13 11:01:34 PM [Insteon::BaseObject] The Link Table Version for $sl_foyer1 has been updated to version number 06 11/27/13 11:01:34 PM [Sync all links] Now syncing: $kpl_uphalln_main (35 of 187) 11/27/13 11:01:34 PM [Sync all links] Now syncing: $kpl_uphalln_a (36 of 187) 11/27/13 11:01:34 PM [Sync all links] Now syncing: $kpl_uphalln_b (37 of 187) 11/27/13 11:01:34 PM [Sync all links] Now syncing: $kpl_uphalln_c (38 of 187) 11/27/13 11:01:34 PM [Sync all links] Now syncing: $kpl_uphalln_d (39 of 187) 11/27/13 11:01:34 PM [Sync all links] Now syncing: $kpl_foyer1_main (40 of 187) 11/27/13 11:01:34 PM [Insteon::BaseController] Adding controller record to $kpl_foyer1_main for $kpl_uphalln_a cmd = add; data3 = 01; group = 01; is_controller = 1; 11/27/13 11:01:34 PM [Insteon::BaseController] Adding controller record to $kpl_foyer1_main for $kpl_mk1_d cmd = add; data3 = 01; group = 01; is_controller = 1; 11/27/13 11:01:34 PM $sl_foyer1 is 100% 11/27/13 11:01:34 PM First Floor: a 1st floor light is now 100% 11/27/13 11:01:35 PM [Insteon::BaseObject] The link table for $kpl_foyer1_main is in sync. 11/27/13 11:01:35 PM [Insteon::ALDB_i2] $kpl_foyer1_main writing address: 0edf for device: 1cdf19 and group: 01 11/27/13 11:01:35 PM $kpl_foyer1_main is on 11/27/13 11:01:37 PM Motion sensed in Family. I also haven't changed anything since the last 4-5 syncs... it always finds something to sync. I don't get it. Perhaps I need to turn on debug and do some real staged tests where I really pay attention to what steps I'm taking. Lastly, Happy Thanksgiving to all. I don't expect anything to be done right now, but I thought I'd better get the message out anyway. Take care!! Steve |
