Geddy...thank you so much.....great advice...

I have a large Insteon deployment that I'm migrating to eisy. I have only a hand full of z-wave (smoke detector, 4 or 5 wall plugs) and they are not included in any scenes or programs.....I was just playing/learning to use them. The instructions seem a little complex for the z-wave to eisy movements (I'm more of twice-a-year ISY end user, vs. knowledgeable expert) and so is there any harm to simply not migrating the z-waves, reset them to factory (is that possible? ) and then re-adding them to eisy when I've got that running ? ( I purchased the dongle) I had thoughts about moving to z-wave, but a number of very helpful forum posters convinced me there's still life in the Insteon/I3 platform for the next couple of years, so I don't see a near term need for z-wave migration....) Thoughts ? (Thank you in advance)

Thank you dbuss

Hi. Sorry for bother, can't find in wiki. I am preparing to move to eisy from ISY994. I have some older z-wave devices (mainly sensors) that don't respond. Ideally, I'd like to start clean on the eisy related to the z-wave...(I have 100+ Insteon, but just a handful of z-waves that I played w/when it looked like Insteon Inc was dead) Thank you in advance..

Hi. I had a generalized internet outage (wifi, but also cell access ) recently, during which I discovered that UD Mobile was unable to log on. It could not resolve the URL name of my local ISY, and I got an error. Is there a best-practices or work around to allow the use of UD Mobile during generalized internet outages, i.e. like plugging in local IP vs. symbolic URL name etc ? Thank you in advance.

Has anyone had any success interfacing a Konnected alarm panel to their ISY994 ? I've read all the various posts (mainly older) and it looks like others have explored it also. Any insight would be very much appreciated.

Same...

@MrBill.... I went back and tried various naming approaches... the inclusion of the '.1' etc worked fine, but as I added the work 'email' it failed. I went through all of the various documentation (like the cookbook and wiki) and could not find anything naming/variable/substitution reference to this issue. Thank you again for your help.

During 1/2 time it came to me that my name of 'SLPEmail.1' might be causing an issue because it contains the word 'email' so I changed name to 'SLPOther' to remove the actual word 'email' and it now works as you all have suggested....maybe there are reserved words not allowed ?? Thank you again for taking so much time to educate me.

Gentlemen, Thank you all very much. I'm slowing beginning to think interrupt-driven, vs. branching-looping, so my apologies for the stupid questions. Relative to the removing everything from the From: field, did that, re-saved etc, but the behavior is still the same, i.e. everyone works as expected and email notification arrives if I use default, but the second I put 'Content' field, it appears to do nothing. I erased everything and recreated everything to make sure I wasn't leaving odd in some cache, but same exact behavior. I'm using 5.3.4 firmware and UI if that matters.

Hi... Thank you for your various help(s). I'm still stuck. I'm trying learn how to have motion sensor send email with specific content (I've got the substitution thing down...) however I can't figure out what is wrong the below "Send Notification..." line. I know the base notification wors when I use the "test" button option, it works, but only when all I have coded is "Send notification to "SLPUser" , but when I add to the end of the "send' line "Content SLPMail.1" it never arrives. The triggering part of the "if' statement works fine. The "SLPMail.1" entry and supporting screens are below, and I've saved and uploaded, enabled everything, and have also tried executing just the "Then" statement, and in all cases it works fine without the "Content" modifier but as soon as it's added, it fails. Below is how I coded the various supporting content screens: I'm obviously missing something very basic. Any suggestions would be appreciated

@MrBill and DaveStlou....thank you so much. Great advice from both of you on how to think. I really appreciate your guidance. SLP

@lilyoyo1 I think the wait is because I don't yet understand how it all works, and I was concerned that it might cycle through the program logic extremely fast, sending hundreds of texts etc. The sensor seems to go to 'on' for about 15 seconds, before it cycles back to off, so I picked a 60 wait. I think part of the issue is how I think about programming...I'm use to looping/branching etc, and I think I need to think more along triggering/interupt driven approach.

Yes, I did the test button and got the text fairly quickly...

Hi, Sorry for the elementary question, but after reading the Cookbook, I'm still lost. In the below program, when I add the the content 'MovementSensor' (which I defined in Email customization screen) the notification fails. Being an old Cobol/Assembler programmer I was looking for a way to trace the below. I've looked at the various logs and don't see anything that looks like a way of tracing of the execution of program. The below works if I remove the content 'MovementSensor' so I was trying to figure out why... Thank you in advance.
