Still waiting for my Echo but this is now bookmarked! Thanks for sharing. -Xathros

I suspect it is required component of Insteon communications much like the MAC address of any ethernet capable device. My Access Points have ID's too. Neither the Access Points or Range Extenders are linkable devices however. -Xathros

Based on the description of the problem, there appers to be a link between the Nook switch and the LR Slave switch that the ISY is aware of. I am assuming that you want the LR Lights and Slave to respond to the Nook switch - just more slowly. If that is not correct then disregard the following: Since you have also done some set button linking, I would recommend hard resetting the 3 devices (Nook, LR and LR Slave) then restore each from the ISY. Once that is done, test again. If the slave still responds too quickly to the Nook switch, Click on the nook switch in the admin console and look at the right to see what scene it is a controller of. Then for that scene, select the scene then select the nook switch within the scene. Adjust On Level and Ramp rate for each responder (LR Slave in this case) to your desired level. If it appears to be already correct, change the ramp rate, wait for the isy to update then change it back to the desired value and again wait for the update. The ISY will not write a change to a device if it believes the value is already correct. Test again, enjoy. Hope this helps. -Xathros

Seg will accept a CSV file with data easily from what I read. As long as you have the data and format it correctly, no problem putting it into the charts. Select a stream, click the exchange tab: This is not something that would be done with a network resource. -Xathros

The Fan section of the Fanlinc has 4 speeds: Off, Low, Med and High so 50% is not possible but you could use Low or Med in place of the 50%. With a 6 Button, I would use the main On button for my 100% light, A for the 50% Light and B,C,D for the fan Low, Med, High. -Xathros

I'm on Yosemite with Java 1.8.31 and cannot reproduce here with 5.0 or 4.3.1 Just checked and Oracle may have pulled update 45 as my Java control panel says I'm all up to date and last check was this morning. I was ignoring the update 45 update when it released as others were reporting issues. Guess I waited long enough that it's no longer available in the auto update channel. I see it is still the version you get if you go to the java.com site however. I'm gonna hold off on update 45 until a few others can confirm its OK. -Xathros

Awesome! Thank you. -Xathros

Are you referring to the ISY not being seen by the Finder? If so, that is one issue I don't have. Both at home and the office, my ISY's show up just fine in the ISY Finder. Now the inability of the admin console to remember the theme settings and window positions is another story... -Xathros

Same here. I've been living with lost preferences at reboot for quite some time now. If there is a solution I too would like to know about it. -Xathros

The upgrade, just like all previous, went without a hitch on my MAC running Yosemite. -Xathros

Not sure why your finder is not seeing the ISY. Possibly UPnP disabled in the ISY network config? As for the theme, window position and size being lost, that is life with Java on the MAC. Same here from Mavericks on up. -Xathros

Haven't tried anything to autoconnect the VPN but it does work over a VPN connection. -Xathros

I'm using the new CtrlHome app to create Today widgets that set state vars in the ISY. Then I have my programs react to the change in the state var, run then reset the var for next use. Only issue right now is this only works when on my LAN as there is no https support in CtrlHome yet. Hope this helps. -Xathros

The Hub is "Entry Level" remote control with a pretty Smartphone interface, the ISY is real "Home Automation". There is a free App called CtrlHome that can connect your Apple Watch to your ISY when on your home network. I suspect in the future, it will grow to support https and remote connectivity as well. In addition, I suspect Mobilinc will roll out support for the Apple Watch too. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with the ISY. -Xathros

As per what Paul stated above, the ISY needs to know that you intended for the door to close. If you initiate that action via the ISY with a KPL button, then the method described by Paul will do what you want. If using the opener's button, the ISY will be unaware that you asked the door to close until the door actually IS closed. This is assuming that your door sensor is installed such that the sensor state changes as the door arrives at or departs the fully closed position. There is a way around this problem but it requires another sensor and IOLinc or Triggerlinc/OpenClose to be installed at the fully opened position. This way, the ISY can be aware that the door has moved from either the fully open or fully closed positions. Then a simple delay while waiting for the door to arrive at the opposite end of it's travel and alert if the delay expires: If Control 'GarageFullyOpenSensor' is switched On (Off when fully open - switching on indicated door moving toward closed state) and Status 'GarageDoor_IOLinc_Sensor' is On (On until fully closed) Then Wait 15 seconds. Notify 'You' 'GarageDoorCloseFailed' Else -Xathros

Which button? A KPL button or the GDO Open/Close button that came with the door? -Xathros

Though I still have occasional frustrations, I'm happy with my system for the most part. It's still growing as I integrate more and more things. I haven't had very many failures and the few that I have had I will be repairing and re-purposing as I get the time to tinker with them. There was a time that I could have scrapped the whole thing but I stuck it out and learned why I was having problems and how to fix them. Now I can generally fix most of the issues that pop up fairly quickly. -Xathros

I'm sorry. I'm out of ideas. Hopefully MWareman will spot something. -Xathros

Because the cam is expecting the cookie and the ISY is not providing it. Try this to prove: Delete cookies and disable cookies in the browser then retest connecting to the cam from the browser. It should fail in the same way. -Xathros

I think I see the problem. This cam seems to require the ISY to support auth cookies per this from your firebug output: Cookie activatedmode=digital; viewsizemode=100; 4x3=false Host 192.168.1.42:8042 ISY does not support this. You may need a middleman to deal with this issue. Beats me why it errors with a 404 however. I would think this should be an auth failure instead. -Xathros

Is encode URL checked? Also, this part doesn't look quite right to me: /set?vi0=1 and you show: /setvi?vi0=1 in a different post. -Xathros

Most of the firmwares can be found here: http://forum.universal-devices.com/forum/15-current-release-betas-and-bug-reports/ If you can't find it there, Many of us archive them as we go along. I'm sure I or another here can come up with what you need. If not, I bet support would happily provide any previous version you desire. -Xathros

In addition to the excellent suggestions above, there is also the default UDAjax web page served by your ISY. Not as pretty as HAD but still functional and pretty light weight and usable on most platforms. -Xathros

Always happy to help. -Xathros

How about this: Program: Morning Scene A If Time is from 6:30 am To 7:30 am (Same Day) Then Run Program 'Morning Scene B' IfPath Else Set Scene 'Summer' Off Set Scene 'Winter' Off Program: Morning Scene B(Disabled) If Time is From Sunrise to Sunset (Same Day) Then Set scene 'Summer' On Else Set scene 'Winter' On The first program initiates an action at 6:30 to turn on a scene and at 7:30 to turn of both scenes (only one would have been on). The second disabled program is called by the first and turns on the summer scene if the time is after sunrise or the winter scene if the time is before sunrise. I believe this would fit the stated goal. Hope this helps. -Xathros
