Introducing ISYPortal
Hi Benoit- Thats Perfect! URL length is not that important. I can edit my resources one more time knowing its a planned change. Thanks again. -Xathros

Interface with Amazon Echo?
Just FYI... I don't believe the geofencing requires Mobilinc Connect as I'm using it just fine without. -Xathros

Java update 8 (build 1.8.0_65-b17) and https
I just updated my Java to 1.8.0_65-b17 and now find that I'm unable to connect to my admin console via https. I receive the following error: What needs to be done to resolve this? Thanks in advance. -Xathros

Insteon 2441TH Horrible Viewing Angle
If you don't want to relocate the stat, you might consider placing a shim behind the bottom of the stat to angle the whole unit up a bit. -Xathros

Introducing ISYPortal
Excellent. Its not a show stopper since there is a usable workaround but it sure would make it easier if we could just paste the token into the URL field and let the console handle the encoding. Maybe there could be a way for the ISY to pick up the token from a field in the portal module or system config tab then use a ${token} in the network resource. -Xathros

If using the unencoded url from the isy information tool in a network resource then instructing the isy to encode the url, the / chars are not encoded by the isy as it treats them as path delimeters rather than part of the token. My workaround is to use the already encoded isy url minus the /desc and then manually encode the device address and leave encode url unchecked. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The problem is that the admin console doesn't encode the / but treats it as a path delimeter. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Benoit. The URL for both of my ISYs changed sometime in the last 2 weeks. This was the second time I noticed since the URL changed from the uuids. I will be happy if it stays static from here on out. Any thoughts about preventing the "/" in the hash string? -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Introducing ISYPortal
Hello Michel- I noticed once again that the portal URLs have changed for both of my ISY's. I had to remove the finder entries and recreate them using the new URLs. In addition, I had to update the network resources that use the portal URLs to control the other ISY. After update they are now erroring again with HTTP 423 (Locked). Last time this was because I needed to unencode the portal URL before using it in the network resource. This time I'm working with the un-encoded URL and still can't seem to get past the 423s. I thought the portal URLs were going to remain static? I will continue to poke at the resources to see if I can't find my problem. -Xathros EDIT: Solved the 423s again. Two issues here. First when I replaced the portal URL with the unencoded portal IURL, I forgot to unencode the device addresses. Then I checked Encode URL which double encoded thed device address portion. Second problem is that my unencoded URL contains 2 "/" characters that the ISY will not encode since it seems to think that they denote a path delimiter. Had to go back to using the pre-encoded URL and manually encoding the device addresses. Not sure if this can be solved. Only way I see would be to prevent the "/" character from being used in a portal URL token.

KPL Dimmer - Back lighting goes dark at night?
I suspect a program got inadvertently/unintentionally changed to cause this hence the search since otherwise you would likely know where to look! -Xathros

KPL Dimmer - Back lighting goes dark at night?
OK - Do a search with the find in the program tree for the KPL in question and look for any program that uses the notation I provided above to set the backlights on that KPL. -Xathros

KPL Dimmer - Back lighting goes dark at night?
I have a program that runs twice daily to enable/disable my KPL backlights in the bedrooms. Don't like the light at night. I would think you would be able to recover from this with a program like: ComeOnBabyLightMyKPL - [ID 0009][Parent 0001] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'Office / Office KPL / Office KPLA' On 15 / Off 7 (Backlight Level) Else Set 'Office / Office KPL / Office KPLA' On 2 / Off 0 (Backlight Level) Just RunThen to light it up or RunElse to go dark. -Xathros

Echo and Insteon ISY Devices?
In my opinion, "Izzy" would be much better in term if ease of use. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interface with Amazon Echo?
UDI has written an Alexa skill and submitted it to Amazon for approval. No idea how long this process takes. In addition, there is a community project that already has Echo working with the ISY but it requires another machine in the middle like a Raspberry Pi or full time PC. See this long thread for details:http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/14525-amazon-echo-and-isy/ -Xathros

Do you use "wait" between actions?
Between devices, 1 sec should do. After a scene with many devices in it, 3-5 seconds might be better. I usually go with 1-2 between resource calls. Network resource calls can and do queue up if things are busy. If doing variable substitution within the resource, it is possible to call a resource and have the variable change downstream in the programs before the resource is substituted and sent. Where this is possible, you may want a longer delay. Just beware. -Xathros

Do you use "wait" between actions?
Shouldn't need a delay between variable changes unless they will drive insteon activity in other programs when changed. I find it to be a good idea to delay between scene and device actions to allow time for ack/cleanup messages to happen before generating more traffic. -Xathros

Ceiling Fan and 8 Button Keypad Linc
Mil- As Stu said, set the buttons to 'Non-Toggle ON' mode. Create scenes as follows: FanLow: Button B - Controller - On level 100% Button C - Responder - On Level 0% Button D - Responder - On level 0% Button E - Responder - On Level 0% FanLinc - Responder - Fan Low FanMed: Button B - Responder - On level 0% Button C - Controller - On Level 100% Button D - Responder - On level 0% Button E - Responder - On Level 0% FanLinc - Responder - Fan Med FanHi: Button B - Responder - On level 0% Button C - Responder - On Level 0% Button D - Controller - On level 100% Button E - Responder - On Level 0% FanLinc - Responder - Fan High FanOff: Button B - Responder - On level 0% Button C - Responder - On Level 0% Button D - Responder - On level 0% Button E - Controller - On Level 0% This makes the Off button go dark after turning off the fan. FanLinc - Responder - Fan Off If you prefer to use only 3 buttons, you can eliminate the FanOff scene and keep all of the buttons in toggle mode. Hope this helps. -Xathros

ISY Portal Question
In addition, I don't believe the portal is a requirement for 5.x but rather an add-on feature like the other add-on modules. -Xathros

Why doesn't this work?? Programming + scene
I do exactly what the OP is asking for and it can be done with FastOff and/or Off. In my MBR the SLD at the entry has the ceiling light as the load. On turns on that load only. Fast On of course turns on that load but also triggers a program that brings up the rest of the lighting in the room via a scene. Same with Fast Off. In addition, i have my program watch of On when On or Off when Off to trigger the same scene actions using code like this: Program: MBR_Ceiling_SLD_off.pgm If Control 'MBR_Ceiling_SLD.dev' is switched FastOff or ( Status 'MBR_Ceiling_SLD.dev' is Off And Control 'MBR_Ceiling_SLD.dev' is Off) Then Set Scene 'MBR_All.scn' Off Else This works with either a FastOff (Double Tap Off) or an off when the SLD is already off (2 single tap offs). Hope this helps. -Xathros

Pulsating LEDs
Ok. So there is a beacon test running on its own. Next step is to id the sender. Since the sender also blinks during the test, it must be one of the blinking devices. Unplug or air gap them one at a time with at least 5 seconds in between till you find the sender. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stu- Do you have any older Access Points? I have had 2 develop bad PSU's and do odd things on their way out. Maybe you have one performing a beacon test as it's death dance. -Xathros
