Device communication events was selected.

You are looking at a log that contains both a correct and incorrect execution. Above is the log of me doing it twice. The first time I pushed button b, the program did not run (which is correct), the second time the programs did run (which is wrong).

I went ahead and disabled all programs on the ISY to elliminate as many variables as possible and to clean up the log from extranous activity. I only lef these two programs active. If Status 'Master Bedroom / Master-Cans over Bed L' is Off And ( Control 'Master Bedroom / Master-Cans over Bed L' is switched Off Or Control 'Master Bedroom / Master-Keypad' is switched Off ) Then $itest += 1 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') If Status 'Master Bedroom / Master-Cans over Bed L' is Off And ( Control 'Master Bedroom / Master-Cans over Bed L' is switched Off Or Control 'Master Bedroom / Master-Keypad' is switched Off ) Then Set 'Master Bedroom / Master-Cans over Bed L' 25% Set 'Master Bedroom / Master-Keypad' 25% Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I then turned button B off. The first time, it just shut off and nothing else happened. I turned it back on and turned it off again. This time both programs falsely ran. 5.15.36 is the KPL, 12.29.64 is the 2476D switch that carries the load. 0Wed 12/21/2011 5:40:30 PM : [ 5 15 36 4] DON 0 1Wed 12/21/2011 5:40:30 PM : [ 5 15 36 4] ST 255 2Wed 12/21/2011 5:40:31 PM : [ 5 15 36 1] DON 4 3Wed 12/21/2011 5:40:31 PM : [ 5 15 36 1] ST 127 4Wed 12/21/2011 5:40:31 PM : [ 12 29 64 1] ST 132 5Wed 12/21/2011 5:40:33 PM : [ 5 15 36 4] DOF 0 6Wed 12/21/2011 5:40:33 PM : [ 5 15 36 4] ST 0 7Wed 12/21/2011 5:40:33 PM : [ 5 15 36 1] DOF 4 8Wed 12/21/2011 5:40:33 PM : [ 5 15 36 1] ST 0 9Wed 12/21/2011 5:40:33 PM : [ 12 29 64 1] ST 0 10Wed 12/21/2011 5:40:38 PM : [ 5 15 36 4] DON 0 11Wed 12/21/2011 5:40:38 PM : [ 5 15 36 4] ST 255 12Wed 12/21/2011 5:40:40 PM : [ 5 15 36 4] DOF 0 13Wed 12/21/2011 5:40:40 PM : [ 5 15 36 4] ST 0 14Wed 12/21/2011 5:40:40 PM : [ 5 15 36 1] DOF 4 15Wed 12/21/2011 5:40:41 PM : [ 12 29 64 1] ST 63 16Wed 12/21/2011 5:40:42 PM : [ 5 15 36 1] ST 63

OK, so I added the program to do the counter thing in variables. It took 4 tries of hitting the button b on the kpl but on the fourth try it did falsley execute both that program (increasing the variable by 1) and the program to turn the lights on to 25%.

what does it stand for? device on? Is this what is shown when a device has the on button pressed?

It's a 2476d v37.

And also, I did pull the hard disconnect tab on the one 2d kpl I have just to get that out of the equation. That didn't fix the problem. And I did add the variable counter program. I just tested it, but it worked properly (no false trigger), so I guess it has stopped doing it every time.

If you can control your ISY from a smartphone webpage, you must have something like "touchswitch" installed on your ISY. Touchswitch is a webpage that lives on the ISY's webserver and runs on pretty much any internet browser. To have this, you must have paid for it and installed it. So, think back, did you ever do that? And the reason you are not getting to your ISY from outside your LAN is that you are probably not using the correct IP address. 192.168.x.x will work inside your lan, but otherwise you need to know your WAN. I suggest setting up dyndns on your router to give yourself a url that updates as your ip address changes.

If your wife's fast twitch muscle fibers are deficient, perhaps consider getting a kpl and setting the various buttons to do the tasks instead of doing the double tap. You also won't have the screwy off then back on thing. You can even label them if she has a grey matter deficit and can't remember things. PS I am just being cute here, I really mean no insult to your wife.

Yeah, I know about that and anticipate having it fixed shortly. But I don't understand how a program that is supposed to only trigger from the "main off" on that KPL is getting triggered by button "b". It should be able to repeat commands a million times. The program is a "switched on" program so only a direct press of the button should be able to do it.

The KPL is 05.15.36 I have some noise in the system right now. I have ordered a filter. If it helps, I could turn off the breaker that I know is creating noise and do it again, although not till I get home. This is from this am. And Jahn, I could write that program, but I can 100% confirm the "then" clause ran as I had the laptop in hand when I pushed the button and watched the program summary as it said "running then". It took 4 or 5 seconds before that program ran. The primary program ran immediately. I could make one giant scene with all those lights if you think it would help. I do believe that would reduce insteon traffic quite a lot. I don't know of any downside to such a huge scene, perhaps you could comment. 6:51:58 AM : CLI-WBug: Connecting to datafeed.weatherbug.com 6:51:58 AM : CLI-WBug: Successfully Processed WBug Response

The switch is now doing it every time. I confirmed that the program below is running the then clause and turning the lights on. This brings me to the only two possibilities. 1) The switch is sending the wrong address (button b is sending the main off as well as b off) 2) ISY is seeing button b turn off and erroneously interpreting that as the main off. I did try factory resetting the KPL and restoring it. That did not fix the problem. If Status 'Master Bedroom / Master-Cans over Bed L' is Off And ( Control 'Master Bedroom / Master-Cans over Bed L' is switched Off Or Control 'Master Bedroom / Master-Keypad' is switched Off ) Then Set 'Master Bedroom / Master-Cans over Bed L' 25% Set 'Master Bedroom / Master-Keypad' 25% Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

As of yesterday I now have extras too. I bought a 5 pack on ebay so hopefully I will be set for a while. You just have to remember to switch the wire to the high amp side first!

You answered your own question. "I want to make a movie scene" Go ahead and make a scene. Put all the devices you want to do something (turn on/off/in between) in that scene. Set each device to the desired level for that scene from on to off to in between. Include the KPL button you want to control the scene and put that in as a controller. All the others should just be responders. When you hit that button all the lights will go to whatever you set.

Another reason to buy a multimeter. Just make sure not to try to test something that is more than milliamps on the milliamp side. The stupid fuses cost more than a new multimeter almost!

Thanks for pointing this out Brian. Your post made me look at my wall warts with more scrutiny and they either show 9VDC, or 5V/12V (followed by a solid horizontal line on top of a dashed line). I believe that symbol is for direct current. At any rate, I think I was looking at the 120VAC (input) and only saw "12VAC". Sorry for my confusion. Yes, the solid line and the dashed line is the symbol for dc. A solid line and a wavy line over it is AC. And there are very few things that use 12vac or 5vac. While I will not deny they exist, they are few and far between. As far as total amps. You are very unlikely to exceed an ATX power supply unless you put a rediculous amount of stuff on it. I suggest getting yourself a $10 multimeter with a current meter on it and test things out. You are correct to say that the number on the wall wart is the max rating for that wall wart. I would expect that most of your devices will be under that number.

The x10 a6 is unrelated. It is a motion sensor. Mostly it is a whole bunch of scenes that get shut off and then all the status reports from all the devices in those scenes. I have thought maybe of making one big scene with all those things in it. It would reduce Insteon traffic. But that is a big scene.

Here is the log. Sorry it is long because the program triggers a lot of stuff. I will copy it over to that other page. The first line is the status of the "all off" keypad button going to 0 when my wife pushed it. The last line is the overhead lights turning on to 25% (erroneously). I don't know how much you clean get from this since it is not the detailed view, but you can't get that after the fact.

This program has 3 triggers. This means it will run either the "then" or "else" should any of the following things happen. 1) Pushing the "on" on your remotelinc 2) When the time is sunset -30 3) Whent the time is sunrise +30 1 - It will eval "true" if the time is between the two above times, "false" otherwise (if you hit the button). 2 - It will always run false at that time since you would need to simultaneously hit the remote linc "on" to run true. (not gonna happen). It will list as a "next scheduled run" in program summary page. 3 - It will run "false" at that time no matter what and also show up as a "next sheduled run." I use a "dark outside" program for lots of things. The program is as follows: If From Sunset - 15 minutes To Sunrise + 15 minutes (next day) Then - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I include the "true" or "false" status of that program as a condition of other programs. It works quite nicely and saves me a little extra coding (one line vs two) on all those programs that run at night only. Otherwise it works exactly the same as if you had put the times into each program. The program runs twice per day and the program status changes. The change in status is a trigger so any program that refrences it will run, checking the other conditions, and going either "true" or "false".

I used two of these, one for 5v and one for 12v. http://www.ebay.com/itm/180588155864?ss ... 1497.l2649 One side is positive, the other negative. I ended up using every slot on the 12v one and about 2/3 of the 5v. There is someone on cocoontech.com forum who is selling much nicer ones for $10/ea. They are "used". His have fuses on each slot. The ATX supply has a breaker in it to protect against shorts (it works, I accidentally tripped it twice hooking it all up) but if it trips, everything shuts off. I also plugged the ATX into a UPS so power failures don't mess with my system. The ATX supply should list on it all the different specs on the wires. There will be one main color wire for 12v and one for 5v. The amps/volts for each color wire will be written in those specs. There are some 3v leads and some neg voltage leads but they are spec'd at minimal amps. You will also need to short the signal wire to ground. Again, this should be listed on the unit. But you can also go to wikipedia and it lays it out there too. The signal wire is how you turn it on. There is also one wire that provides minimal current even when off. This is what would power your computers clock maybe and give it enough power to have stuff like wake on lan active. You shouldn't need that for this job. As far as the large voltage range on ISY. I can only assume it has a 5v regulator in there (haven't opened it). If so, these devices dump extra energy as heat. If you have a good 5v supply that doesn't dip when current draw goes up, then you should stick with the lower voltage since there is less heat. EDIT: And yes, I left my Elk wall wart intact. But I did power a bunch of the accessories off of the ATX like the XEP and Relay boards.

I took an ATX power supply from an old computer and hooked it up to two terminal blocks, one for 5v and one for 12v. I cut the wall warts off of everyting that was either 5 or 12v and ran them directly into the terminal blocks. The 9v stuff is SOL. Had to keep the wall warts. I did this a month or two ago. My stuff has never run so well. I never have problems with anything needing reboots anymore. This confirms my suspicions that stuff like routers and whatnot getting screwy on you is from poor voltage regulation from crummy wall warts. The 5/12v status of the ATX power supply is within .05v every time I have tested it. And it doesn't fluctuate as loads come on and go off. I am sure if I took it up to it's max rating, I would start seeing fluctuation, but that shouldn't happen. I got rid of 15 wall warts in my control room. My poor power strips look so lonely now. The ISY is running off of 5v.

This happens every now and then. I don't know why. I have a 6 button KPL V.2C in the master bedroom next to the bed. I have programmed one switch on that KPL to be lit when any number of lights in the house are not off (about 20 or so). Pushing that button shuts all of those lights off. I have programmed the off button on the kpl to turn the overhead lights in the master on to 25% if they are off and you push off. This program runs sometimes (rarely, like once/mo) when you run the other program. It happened last night. I checked the summary page and indeed the program to shut the lights off ran as expected and then 20 seconds later the other program ran and the master overheads turned on to 25%. There should be no way for that program to run unless someone physically pushes the "off" button. How could this be? I am confident my wife did not hit the wrong button (or both buttons). It has happened to me as well, and I know I didn't hit the wrong button. I do still have one of those KPL's that Michelle tells me gives false messages (2d), so I don't know if that could be the problem. But it seems like a stretch that the 2d KPL is triggering the program.

Thanks. As you may have guessed, I don't own any, I use my Elk's relays for that type of stuff. I don't understand why the io linc wouldn't have state reporting built-in like everything else, but, whatever. I would have suspected then that the OP would have noticed the state being reported wrong in ISY since it's last command was to turn it on and the query never ran. Maybe he did and just didn't report it. Although, I don't really see any use for having it report correctly in isy. I can't think of a situation where you would use that info in a program or otherwise if it were set to momentary.

As Lee said. Be aware, that what is written after the wait is never happening (your query statement). As soon as that door starts moving, the program re-triggers, the wait terminates a split second later (never finishing), the program evaluates to false, the else clause runs (which is blank). You don't need the query statement. Insteon devices always update the PLM when they change state. Only a comm failure would prevent that. So a query would only help if your comm was borderline and having multiple status updates helps the odds.
