Walk into the room and trigger the MS and see the lights turn on. Then leave the room and watch the program. It should be solid green. After 30 minutes it should turn to half green. If it turns to half red instead at some point, then you have your answer. The program is re-triggering "false" before 30 minutes is up. This kills the program as it is running and restarts it which runs the else clause (which is blank). The solution is to stop the re-triggering and this would involve changing the settings on the MS. If the program ends up completing and the icon turns half green, but the lights don't turn off, then you have a com issue. The reason for this would be a "noisy" light. In other words, the light is blocking the insteon signal because it is creating interference. The solution is to use a different light bulb or transformer if it is low voltage or put a filter on it. This problem used to be very common before dual band Insteon devices but can still happen. You can also test for this by turning the light on and off from the admin console. If it turns off fine, from the admin console, then you don't have a noisy light.

The older version allows for free forecast more than 5 days. I forget the max, but I set mine to one week.

I have PG2 on the ISY at my church and added openweather to it. I got a key from openweather and it didn't work (authentication error). I noticed that in the example openweather gives, everything is identical to the url PG2 openweather uses, except it shows 3.0 in the url where PG2 shows 2.5. So I cut and paste the url from the log in GP2 and loaded into a web browser. I got an error. I then changed the 2.5 in the url to 3.0 and it worked. I then used a key I have that is several years old from openweather and plugged it in using 2.5 and it worked. It appears that they have grandfathered in keys to keep working on 2.5. It also means unless you have an old key, PG2 won't work with openweather. Anyway, if the OP is using PG2 and a new key, it won't work. Perhaps, if he is using an old key and PG3 (which I assumes uses 3.0 in the url) it won't work. Or maybe it will, I haven't tried it that way.

Open Weather has a 2.5 and 3.0 version. I know a 3.0 key does not work in 2.5. Not sure about the opposite. PG2 using 2.5, not sure what PG3 version uses.

@Javi That sounds great. If you could have multiple variables inserted one after the next like in ISY under "email/notifications"/"customizations" that would make the favorites tile pretty much tell you everything you might want to know without opening the tile. In weather for example, day of week/high/low/chance of rain. Example I currently have in ISY Outside ${sys.node.n009_weather.CLITEMP} Inside ${elk.keypad.1.temp}

@DennisC You put the day of the forecast as the second line, the variable, I would like the forecast high to be there. So where yours says "Forecast DH Tuesday" I would like it to say "Tuesday Forecast 98" In this case, both "tuesday" and "98" would be variables filled in from the current state of the node. In other words, both line 1 and 2 be able to have variables subbed in.

That doesn't do what I want. When you do that, the default display name is then "forecast x" (where x is 0, 1, 2, 3 etc). You can replace that with a custom name (for 0 I replaced it with "today forecast"), but the custom name is static. I want to make the custom name be assigned one of the node values (in this case the day of the week it is currently reporting). For today and tomorrow, a static name is fine, but as you get further out that gets a little silly. "3 day from now forecast" . . . In short, I would like variable substitution available in the custom name, much like you can do in ISY for custom messages. And yes, I have made it change the color of the icon for different temp ranges. Over 100 goes red, less than 40 goes blue, all others are green.

I was wondering if we could add the ability to display 2 different sub nodes on the icon for a node. Either by replacing the node name or just having another option. Example here is displaying Weatherbyit forecast. I'd like to see the day and forecasted temp without opening the node. Currently I see "forecast 0" as the name of the node and the forecast temp below it. I'd like to see the day of the week "forecast 0" (or 1 or 2 etc) refers to as well as the temp. Mostly this is an issue for higher numbers since forecast 0 is the same as today and 1 is tomorrow. But higher numbers start to require doing math and I was told there would be no math.

I just dug deep into the app and can't find anywhere to set your monthly bill start date. It shows monthly usage only as calendar month, not your billing cycle month. I also checked to see if the app had an update and it doesn't. So, if you can't tell it your monthly billing cycle start date, there would be no way for it to report your usage during that period. There is a last 30 day reading which would tell you your billing cycle usage if you checked that value on the last day of your billing cycle. But typically people are looking for usage billing cycle to date. People who have tiered pricing would want to know when they are approaching the next tier. So, you could write some programs in ISY that add up your daily usage and save it as a variable which gets reset on your billing start date.

I asked flume to do the same thing. I'm sure lots of people have. I guess it is either very hard to do or they don't really care. Emporia energy monitor does let you set the bill date.

As per Mr. Bill. I would like to double stress the part about programs in the folder when a folder is false. It is as if those programs don't exist. Which of course is very different than a disabled program which can still be called by other programs. The exception to this is that I do believe you can still use the status of a program in a false folder in another program. However, I think this would be bad programming technique since the status of a program that can't run will not reflect the most conditions.

Now it isn't showing them at all. Just says "standy". PG3 was doing that with both purchases and the store and I had to reboot the entire polisy to fix it (restarting pg3 alone did not fix it). After refreshing the page for purchases now it is back to showing "standby", though the store page still works. tried logging out and back without resolution.

I got it to show up but only after restarting the entire polisy system. It wasn't the browser, I tried multiple different browsers on different computers and log out/in several times. Restarting PG3 did not fix, only restarting polisy. Also, why are my purchases now all showing up twice on the purchase page? And now my Tesla node server isn't working. I deleted it from PG3, but that failed to delete it from ISY. I had to manually remove from ISY under the node server tab. I was then able to reinstall it, I put my token in, it says it is connecting to Tesla and shows my correct vin, but it isn't loading any nodes from Tesla and just has a single true/false item in ISY.

Open weather also stopped working on one of my two ISY's. No idea why. It is not blank, it is a bunch of zero's. PG is saying there is an authentication error despite me confirming my api key is correct and active. But I don't think this has anything to do with this thread topic.

I have several of your node servers, but sadly, I can't confirm which ones didn't connect. Some of the node servers are on LAN only so they weren't affected. If memory serves, you did Elk and I have that one, but it is lan only. And when I click on the node server store right now, it isn't working. Nothing shows up so I can't see who wrote which nodes.

Spectrum failed me yesterday for about 3 hours or so. When service was restored, none of my PG3 or PG2 nodes came back online. It has been about 18 hours and none of the nodes reconnected to their online data source (ie Tesla, Husqvarna, etc). I restarted both PG2 and 3 and the nodes reconnected. This was not node specific, it was all nodes. Anyway, this really shouldn't happen. They should be able to restore connections after losing internet on their own. I believe that my public IP address did not change when Spectrum restored serviced based on my DDNS server logs indicating that I have had the same IP for a long time. EDIT: Running on Polisy

I totally agree with how fickle and buggy the Java console is and I do not like it at all. The one good thing I can say is that for many tasks you can now use the phone app. You can't write programs, but many of the other admin console tasks can be done from the phone.

Have you tried accessing the admin console from a different computer? I have had issue with the Java applet on one computer and simultaneously not on a different one. Though not this particular issue. The other thing to try is a reboot of ISY. For my rant of the day. The Java thing has always been a PITA but UD really doesn't want to change it. In the old days, Ctrl-Alt-Del/end task was something you had to do for almost any application periodically as they would hang. Well, MS seems to have fixed that maybe a decade ago, except for this Java console. I still find that it hangs and needs an "end task" maybe once a month or something. Clearly, something is not coded right. Not sure if it is Java itself or the UD applet. To the best of my knowledge, UD is the only Java applet I have need of use.

I have a 6 button kpl controlling the fans. I created a single scene, the kpl as well as the fanlinc are in the scene. The 3 KPL buttons for low/med/high are set to non-toggle on. The scenes when controlled by each of the KPL buttons will turn on the fan to its respective speed and turn off the kpl button for the other. The 4 kpl buttons, A is off, B is low, C is med, and D is high. All 4 of those buttons are controllers of the scene. If you turn on the scene from one button, the scene response is to turn off the other buttons and turn on the fanlinc to the corresponding speed. Since the buttons are toggle on only, pushing a button that is already on doesn't do anything. Pushing say medium button when it is already on low, will turn the backlight off on the low speed button as it changes the fan to medium speed. I actually have multiple fans and multiple fanlincs as well as some additional switches that will only turn the fans on/off but not control speed complicating this screen shot. But this is the screen shot of setting the fans to high.

If you want any of those devices to respond to conditions or actions of any of the other devices, then you need a common platform. PG3 is that common platform, of course it also integrates zwave and insteon devices.

Michel says it probably has something to do with a browser cache. I don't why my browser would be involved, I cleared the cache over and over for Java and rebooted computer and still same thing. I didn't try clearing browser cahce, not sure which one I would clear. Finally I just loaded the admin.jnlp off of the ISY itself and that works fine. Since I am only accessing this one ISY from that computer it works fine.

Posted here because IoX launcher thread is locked. I have been using IoX launcher since it came out on one particular PC. Yesterday, I could no longer get it to work on that PC. The java applet opens, finds ISY, I click on ISY, and I get nothing, no drop down menu. I ran windows update (and windows had an update to install), ran the java update (and java installed an update), deleted everything from Java including the applet, downloaded and installed fresh applet from forum, and still, same thing. Restarted ISY also. Also tried loading the portal access to the launcher but same problem if I click on that, no drop down menu to click on. I am able to open the admin console from a different computer using IoX launcher. I changed nothing on this computer, it worked 2 days ago and yesterday it didn't, nothing changed, not even a computer reboot (until I started trying to fix the situation). The computer is behaving perfectly. Ideas?

@Panda88 I wasn't able to find any beta version. Also, installing a beta version means it will not have any of the programs and stuff I use with it to test unless I want to redo all of them. I saw the beta version in my previous purchases section, but clicking on that didn't work.

@Panda88 Sorry, just noticed this today. Hard to test since Tesla server needs to go down and who knows when that will happen. Perhaps never? Anyway, I'll load it up and let you know if there are any issues.

As far as I can tell, this has only happened twice, and both times I know that Tesla server was down because my phone app wouldn't talk to the car. So the pathway to failure would seem to have something to do with the Tesla server not responding.
