Installed fine here...thank you!

I use the iPad all the time to remote desktop to a pc which can run Java...it is really convenient and I have eliminated the need for using a pc...as a matter of fact, I haven't used a PC for a long time now and done considerable programming via the RDC... I use pocketcloud pro and can access from anywhere I have Internet connection including 3G

If I only want to evaluate the IF statement at reboot, what is the best way to accomplish that? Can I create a program with the IF-then-else, disable it, and enable "run at startup"??? Will it run the IF if the program is disabled? Will this allow for the program to be evaluated only once and only during startup or do I have to create another program that runs at startup with a "run-if" pointing to the desired one-time program?

Both cases it was Run-Then... Unfortunately, if the program was to simply restart, I am still unclear as to why it was unreliable...will have to see if this change helps the issue. Thanks LeeG

I have had some reliability issues with a specific program which contains multiple actions...there are 8 scenes called to turn on OR off with 2-4 second delays between each scene...so the program should run for approximately 30 seconds. In doing some troubleshooting, I found that this same program is called on as an action within a different program/folder which contains a 10 second delay. So...the program is triggered, and 10 seconds later is is triggered again...what happens? Does it restart from the beginning or does it complete first and then run again? Does it ignore the second trigger??? I have resolved it to not compete with itself, but it raised the question on how this scenario is handled programatically...

I guess I should have looked harder!!! Thanks!

Thanks Guys!!! Will play around to better undestand Variables...I searched on Wiki, forums regarding detailed explanation on Variables but wasn't able to find anything. Is there documentation available yet?

Thanks LeeG, I understand integer vs. state variables and I do use State variables successfully for program trigger conditions, however, my question is when this condition is evaluated...continuously or only when the variable is changed? How would one use a state variable as IF-Control vs IF-Status? Is this possible?

I'm trying to use Variables more in programs as I believe they allow for more simplified code, however, I am trying to understand how variable use reflects conventional conditions I was using...specifically IF Status vs. IF Control... Does a Variable only reflect the Status statement or will it trigger a program when the variable changes state making it a Control condition? Here is one example where I am strugling to understand Variable use... If ( Control 'Alarm / Alarm Armed (AWAY)' is switched On And Control 'Alarm / Alarm Armed (AWAY)' is not switched Off ) Or ( Control 'Mudroom / Mudroom KPL-Mudroom Light / Mudroom KPL-Away Button' is switched Fast Off And Control 'Mudroom / Mudroom KPL-Mudroom Light / Mudroom KPL-Away Button' is not switched Off ) Then Wait 5 minutes Enable Program 'Garage left open (while AWAY ARMED)' Run Program 'Garage left open (while AWAY ARMED)' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I have a variable that is "1" when "alarm armed away" and "0" when "alarm is NOT armed away" and was looking to use incorporate this variable use in the program above... Thanks in advance

For everyones records...per Smarthome, Togglelinc relays and Dimmers also suffered from the v35 communication issues with ISY... Smarthome does not go by v# that is reported by the ISY. They look at the specific firmware # on the indivdual devices. Devices affected are 4.0 and 4.1. These are numbers on the label on the face of every device. Smarthome is sending replacement devices...Thank you for standing behind your products Smarthome!!!

I understand that Switchlinc Dimmers with hardware v.35 are recognized to have/cause communication issues...does this also include Togglelinc Dimmers v.35? How about Togglelinc Relay v.35? Thanks in advance,

Any resolution/update for this? I also have noticed a -1 error in each case there is a beep called in a program...the beeps do work, but errors are still displayed in each instance in the log file... Thanks!

Update installed fine...took an exceptionally long time to complete the initial query, but all seems to be working well at the moment. Thanks UDI!

There appears to be more instability with the latest releases in my setup. I have a small number of programs that have become intermittent in operation. I have been running 3.1.13 for a while and it seems that the more complicated programs are either interrupted or do not trigger. I have not had any recent issues with programs not running when they are called upon and my communications have been solid. The issue seems to be with more complicated programs which contain Insteon and program commands. Simple scene programs are reliable. At this point I haven't been able to reproduce, but will keep looking at any patterns that may show up.

Thanks for the clarification LeeG!!!

Thanks LeeG, I apreciate the clarification...what puzzled me was that 759 count that appeared during one count. I would have been ok if the number was below 450, but when I got greater than 450, it raised questions. Also...I did use a filterlink to isolate the PLM from the "grid", but was unable to ensure no RF was present. In your experience, is 450 a reasonable count for 70 devices (majority Togglelink, but 6 IOLinc, and 1 EZIO8) and 7 KPLs? Thanks again!

I know this subject has been discussed in the past...but no practical/reliable solution has been reached. I am trying to determine a link count in my PLM (dual Band) to ensure that I have enough unused capacity to add an additional set of devices. I have attempted to count PLM links via diagnostics (Tools/Diagnostics/Show PLM Links Table). I repeatedly get 450 links (ten times in a row), then, one time, the count was 759...but...the 450 count has been solid. I even watched the event viewer during the count and no other traffic was reported during the counting process. Is there a reliable way to verify accuracy? If I count the ISY links (Tools/Diagnostics/Show ISY Links Table) I get 584 total for just my 7 KPLs. In addition to the KPLs I have 70 other devices which average approx 13 links per device. If this was true, I would have already exceeded the Dual Band PLM capacity of 1024 links... Is it a valid assumption that the number of links in the PLM should be the combined total of links in the ISY link Table for all devices? If this is true, I would already be greater than 1024. Thanks for the continued support!

io_guy...interesting observation with the IR... I also have been having issues with IR functionality over the 3.x.x builds. It'll work for a while after reboot of the ISY, but becomes unresponsive after a very short while. Are you using an IR-Link or is it the built -in IR module? Either way, appears to be a similar problem.

Upgrade Went very well...thank you UDI...will keep tabs on functionality improvements. Thanks again

Ahhh...so you aren't directly connected to the ISY...you are using an ethernet bridge...I was hoping to try the Hexin directly connected to the ISY... PoolController--->RS485--->HXSP-485A (link below)--->ISY http://www.hexin-technology.com/RS-232_ ... t-242.html should I rethink?

Thanks...are you using an isolator/surge suppression device on your system wired between the ISY and the Pentair? My controller is wired directly to the equipment pad via 200ft of 485 that runs underground...so just a concern... Thanks again!!!

This is really interesting information...I just installed a Jandy pool controller that has serial inteface capability...did you have to use any additional isolators with the Hexin converter? The Jandy serial converter is $400, but I don't see it doing anything special beyond converting the 232 to 485 protocall.. http://www.jandy-downloads.com/pdfs/Aqu ... manual.pdf Thanks again for the helpfull information

The upgrade went OK for me...first try was successful. Seems to be working well so far.

looks good here...thank you!

This morning, I noticed that I received a few notifications from the ISY...I am still running 2.8.6 and waiting for 2.8.7 which should address the notification issue. What is strange is that performing the test in the notifications screen returns errors, but on occasion, the notification is sent. Any update to when 2.8.7 will be released? If not imminent, I will downgrade to 2.8.5... Thank for all your efforts!
