ISY994

I carefully followed the instructions below (from the wiki) but ended having a ton of "not specified" in my programs (20 of them) that I had to manually change after. To confirm what I did, I first replaced references to what is my older (pre i2cs) IO Linc with the name of a newly purchased newly added IO Linc (presumably i2cs?) in my programs, then saving all my programs, then removing the (old) device from its folder and doing the "replace with" from old device name to new device, which had as its name its insteon address. Is the documentation wrong? is there a bug? did I just completely blow it and didn't realize it? I would also mention that the admin co…

First of all the best of the season.. Below is a rule where I have a switch at the door to set my away condition on a home..Im using a RL2 I would like to use this rule in two ways.. day time and if not daytime.. after sunset.. During daylight.. I would like some type of notification that it worked so I have it chirp ..so that works.. the problem is that the ELSE executes at every sunrise.. not when the RL2 is pushed.. is there a way to make the else work only if RL2 is pushed and its after sunset ?.. can we add a condition to an "ELSE" If Control 'Remote Entrance' is switched Off And From Sunrise + 1 second To Sunset - 46 min…

Two quick questions: 1) Why in the programs summary do I have two columns labeled 'Last Run Time' and 'Last Finish Time' and they always seem to show the same exact times. I've found this odd for awhile, but never figured out whats going on. I assume that 'Last Run Time' stands for 'Last Start Time' however given the results, I feel that I am incorrect. Can someone explain this. 2) Also in the programs summary, what does the 'Status' column stand for. I always assumed it was the status of whether or not the program was allowed to run, but the following program is showing differently ************ If Status 'Inside / House / 2nd Floor / Master …

Hi All, I would like to setup the H button on all three of my KPL's around the house so that the H key is an ALL OFF. In other words, hit the H key on any of the three and all the lights in the house go off. I created a scene that has all the lights I want shut off and set their ON Level to 0% for every light in the Scene. I also setup all 3 H keys as responders in the scene as well. I then created the following program: If Control 'Dining Room - H' is switched On Or Control 'Living Room- H' is switched On Or Control 'Master Bedroom-H' is switched On Then Set Scene 'Every Light Off' On Else Set Scene 'Every Light Off' Off …

On the subject of ISY program logic, over the years I've built up quite a library of programs to automate my home. Unfortunately, I think that is taking a toll on my ISY's performance. I think my ISY is BUZY! Sometimes too buzy. Things sometime work with a delay or seem to partially execute. One thing I've heard, you have to be very careful about the use of the 'Status' test. I'd like to know which is better: 1. Have a program that combines conditions, OR 2. Split the program to simplify the logic, and separate out the use of 'Status'. In this example, I have a program that turns on hall lights if motion is detected in the garage. Additional logic check…

I have the ELK module for ISY. I have been using my Elk sensors to trigger isy events without issues. Today I wanted to have my Elk wireless keyfob trigger the lights to come on. I cannot see the keyfob in the listing of elk devices. I can see the zones ahead and behind it. Any thoughts?

Hey All, The wife picked me up two new motion sensors for Chistmas to add to my network. I have searched and seen a ton of posts on Motion Sensors but none quite like the challenge I am having. I am just trying to do something VERY basic. I have a motion sensor aimed at the door coming in from our attached garage. If it senses movement coming in from the door, it should activate a scene that turns on lights on the first floor of the house for you. If after 30 minutes there is no more motion activity then it should shut those lights off. I am activating the scene through a program. If Status 'MS-Garage-Sensor' is On Then Set Scene 'Motio…

Greetings fellow ISYers, I have a tstat for upstairs and one for downstairs. The upstairs hallway is open to, and overlooks, the 2 story den and in this hallway is where the 2nd floor tstat is placed. In order to keep the master bedroom warm, the upstairs stat has to be run about 2-3 degrees above the 1st floor unit. Normally during the day, it's not an issue. But at night if that offset hasn't been active, the master is the coldest room in the house. I'd like to find a way to track changes on the 1st floor tstat and then update the 2nd floor tstat appropriately. Can I load the current temp into a variable somehow and then run a program that adds 2 …

I have just installed a ISY-994i, 2413S and my first switch, a 2477s. The PLM LED is not always lit, and I had a real problem initially discovering my first device. After a series of reboots of the 994i and PLM, I was able to get the discovery window to stay open and it found the switch. However, no matter what I did, I could not control the switch. After rebooting everything, I get a failed communicating with pop up when going in to the console. I did another reset and the console came up in safe mode -- can't find the PLM. This is really frustrating. The PLM is plugged into a plug that goes directly into my electrical panel. I have changed the Ethernet cable. …

Merry Christmas and Holidays to everyone! A friend of mine stayed over recently and saw I was using home automation to turn on/off my lights this year. Both inside and outside. He thought it was cool but boring and suggested the following idea which I then put into the following two programs. May not be an original idea completely but I had some fun with it see if anyone knows why: Edited to include the entire two programs. To initiate them I used a very basic 3rd program that started them at night and stopped them in the morning. Merry.Morse If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'Outside - Garage / Outside Outle…

Greetings, I have been searching for a solution to a problem and these devices may solve it. Problem: Elderly parent living alone and I am worried that something could happen to her between her daily phone calls. Proposed Solution: Using a series of motion detectors, bath room & kitchen, determine that there is motion in her house every x amount of hours. If no motion for longer than the defined time, trigger an alert (email or SMS). Is this a doable solution with this platform? How much custom SDK development would be required or are the embedded scenes capable of something like this? Thanks in advance, Kurt

This sensor (2420M) has been working fine since purchase, yesterday it stopped working so I replaced the battery. After replacement I put it in programming mode and checked the settings, I made a small change to the brightness setting. After waiting for the timeout I triggered the sensor and it turned off which it shouldn't do. I also noticed that the sensor model was set to 2842-222 which is not something I have ever done. I have two of these 2420M sensors and they have both been set to 2842-222 but the other sensor is actually working. I then removed the sensor and reinstalled with the correct model but this didn't solve the problem. Not sure where to go from here…

I recently had a power supply interruption. When the power was restored the ISY 99 returned to operation. I noticed that the status of the motion sensors, triggerlincs and the Leak Sensor (2852-222) did not return. Is this normal? I have had to actuate each of these items in order to return the status to the ISY Administrative Control screen.

Hi Michel, How does the current special upgrade price of $109 work? Do we have to send back the old ISY-99 or we get to keep both? Thank you

I installed the Java 99i Administrative Console through the website and now have the icon on my desktop. Usually when I open this up I get an error message that states "Not found" that I have to close out. Why is this, and is there any way to disable the finding feature?

Hi all, I am considering upgrading from my SmartLinc to the ISY. Currently, I use the SmartLinc for on off timers of certain devices, but am looking for more advanced control. I have ordered the Insteon Hub but it is backorderd. Questions I have include: Is there an app for the ISY similar to what SmartLinc has out of the box? How difficult is it to setup the ISY for control outside my LAN? Thanks for any info. Ed

I have a new small LED spot light which sits on the floor and shines up into a plant in my livingroom. I plugged the spot light into a ApplianceLinc 2456S3 ver4.9. My ISY turns it on/off without a problem but when turned off, the spot light flashes on/off every 3-4 seconds. Any idea what is causing this?

When I login into my ISY-99i, I get a message window entitled "AutoUpdate Status" and the message in the window is "Authorization Failed!". I am using Firmware version 3.3.4. All my devices seem to work fine but would like to know why I am getting the message.

I just got my ISY-994i/IR Pro. I was working on get it setup but am running into several issues. Hopefully someone can help. 1. When I try to navigate to the wiki I get a 404 error. http://www.universal-devices.com/mwiki/ ... User_Guide 2. I have an existing PLM. I am looking for instructions on how to sync it with my ISY device so I don't have to start from scratch. Is this possible? or do I need to reset my PLM and start from scratch. Thanks, Scott

I've tried running the Admin tool from the link indicated as the best way to access it (http://www.universal-devices.com/99i/3.3.7/admin.jnlp) and I am getting a 'page not found' error. Tried turning off my firewall and still got the error. I assume the problem is on my side, but on the off chance that it's at your end I thought I would post this. Any idea what is causing the problem?

Is it possible to control KPL buttons other than Main from a program? Specifically I need to be able to turn button C (or D, etc) on and off directly from a program. mike

Objective: From a KPL button in my bedroom: 1) See if any light on the first floor is not off (KPL button lit up) 2) If any are not off, turn all first floor lights off (without having to turn on any that are already off) I have a scene: First Floor All If I link a KPL button to control this scene, will the KPL button light up whenever any device listed in the First Floor All scene is on (or not off). Or does this requirement require a ISY programming? Before I start, I'd appreciate any tips on the simplest way to get to this simple objective. Thanks

Hi guys, I have a 2411T insteon IR transmitter Rev 1.05 that I finally got around to playing around with. I am a little confused how to set it up as sometimes it works but other times not with my Phillips TV on/off Questions: 1) Does this rev 1.05 work with ISY latest? as I read some old posts that there were incompatibility issues, is this solved and can it work with this rev? 2) when device is added to my ISY, it shows 16 devices or IDs. So when I program the ir codes and tap the set button to test the IR code, how do I know which one it is being called? So is there only 1 "code" or 16 of them that can be addressed and called, and how to I target an individ…

Hello, first time poster. I'm researching the Insteon network and ISY994i. My question may be common knowledge to the pros but I can't seem to find the answer in the forum. I have 2 rocker switches that turn on and off my kitchen lights. There's one rocker switch at each end of the kitchen. If I'm going to control my kitchen lights with Insteon/ISY, do I need to replace both rocker switches with a Switchlinc or could I get away with just one? If I use just one Switchlinc and leave the other as it is, how would it affect the programming of the Switchlinc in a scene/program if I manually turn on/off the other light switch? Also, if I manually turn on/off the other light s…
