Finally got around to installing some Insteon switches on the Fans in my bathroom. Created a little program to try and make sure they go off. Here is my simple program. If the light is switched off then it turns off the Fan (whether on or off) 2 minutes later. If the fan is turned on with the light already off, it does the same thing. Or so I thought. Unfortunately it doesn't work. Master Toilet Fan - [ID 0007][Parent 0008] If 'MBR / MBR Toilet Pots' is switched Off Or ( 'MBR / MBR Toilet Fan' is switched On And 'MBR / MBR Toilet Pots' Status is Off ) Then Wait 2 minutes Set 'MBR / MBR Toilet Fan' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I suspected some flaw in the If condition, so I split it into two programs and it works flawlessly. Powder Room Fan - [ID 0004][Parent 0008] If 'Powder Room / Powder Room Fan' is switched On And 'Powder Room / Powder Room Lights' Status is Off Then Wait 2 minutes Set 'Powder Room / Powder Room Fan' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Powder Room Fan 2 - [ID 000B][Parent 0008] If 'Powder Room / Powder Room Lights' is switched Off Then Wait 2 minutes Set 'Powder Room / Powder Room Fan' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Can someone explain the why one works and other doesn't? Is it because the condition is reevaluated when the light which is switched off actually changes status to Off? (I know there are obvious defects in the simple program, Fast On/Off etc.)

Oops, forgot the biggest reason for me. In a home I don't have any more I had a leak sensor in a sump. I wanted to know if the level got high enough to trip the sump pump. When it reset itself I could verify the sump pump had done its job. This not possible if you need to reset it yourself. I have switched to the wireless tag moisture sensors, but they are not optimal as they have non-replaceable batteries that don't last that long.

If the site is remote and you get someone else to do it, it may be nice for it to reset itself. This way you can confirm it has been looked after and you don't have to explain to someone how to reset it.

Like turning on all the lights in the house when my wife forgets to say which one. Would nice if you say "Hey Google, undo my last command."

And if someone unplugs the remote control light associated with the opener it won't let you operate it using myq either. Found out the hard way. MyQ has some other missing features like being able to turn off remote operators.

Anyone using the Leviton ZW4SF-1BW fan controller. Don't think this was available when the last post to this thread was made. Only $49.99 so seems like a good value over the GE which goes for about $99. Paul

Don't want to hijack this thread but, has anyone else noticed that the color temp of back light of a 2334-2 6 button dimmer changed from v43 to v44. Had to rearrange a bunch to get adjacent dimmers to have the same color. V44 looks a lot cooler than v43 and of course the brightness levels are way different. Paul

Glad I spotted this thread. Didn't work the way I assumed. I have 3 ISY's, each in a different home. Created 3 unique users, each with a different preferred ISY. Thought I would use the appropriate one to associate with each home. Obviously didn't work. One question, how do you get programs associated with the correct home? Paul

@Michel Kohanim Is the green light a problem?

Yes!

Setting up a new ISY. Purchased and install the ISY Portal option. Enabled on ISY. Cut and pasted the URL into the ISY Launcher. When I try to connect and log in using my Portal credentials it gives me a socket timeout error. Ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Paul

Actually the Zwave version I want is out of stock there as well.

Anyone know if there is a shortage? Smarthome is out of stock on all versions and amazon is quoting long delivery times. Paul

I've got 3 ISY's in 3 locations. I was using mobilinc which supports multiple accounts, but not very conveniently. Now I just use google home and ISY portal. I have 3 google accounts, one dedicated to each home and have invited all family members to join them all, including myself, using their usual google accounts. Very easy to switch between homes and control most of what I need.

Do they have the same FCCID or part number on the bulb? I have some really old CREE bulbs that work well down to 1% with no noise.

Old thread about the same issue with this device:

2473 outletlinc non-dimming

I wish somewhere there was a list of bulbs etc that work and/or don't work with insteon dimmers/swtiches.

I thought the same thing and installed several of the outlets for the same reason. Trouble is that several of the LED string my wife bought don't seem to turn off properly and flash on and off instead. Ended up plugging some old mechanical timers into the unswitched side of receptacle..

I like Android auto in my car and it works well be google home.

I used all the same rooms that had been using with Mobilinc, so they all already existed. None of the devices ended up in a room defined be the ISY Portal. I am having to go through manually and assign each one - the big issue that I thought would be fixed when I changed from Mobilinc.

ISY room naming is not used by Mobilinc. I understood it was used by ISY Portal and was the reason for including it in the portal. Only the name and GH Type seems to be getting set suing the portal info.

No room info showed up even though I assigned it in the Portal. Just the names. Had to assign all the room info within google home.

Hi, Purchased the ISY Portal when my Mobilinc Connect subscription ended. May reason for change was that ISY portal appeared to manage Room Information. Got Google Home connected and none of the room info arrived. WTF? Tried pushing spokens from the ISY portal and a google home "Update All Devices" to no avail. The UDI documentation is clearly out of date as the Google Home screen shots show no resemblance to the current Google Home implementation. Simple question: How do I get the room info from ISY portal transferred into google home? Paul PS Am I the only one that finds UDI web sites and the ISY portal, especially info regarding accounts, confusing and hard to use?

I have a couple of Mitsubishi Mini Splits in my garage and man cave. Any suggestions on a remote thermostat that might work with them? Paul
