Awesome! Thanks. -Xathros

Hi Michel- Is it possible to access the admin console on my ISY from the portal? I don't see it listed in the available tools there. -Xathros

If your desire is to have the button perform an action then turn off, it may be a better idea to set the button to Non-Toggle Off mode and adjust your program to accept a "Control is Switched Off" rather than On. That way you won't need to use a scene to reset the button to off when the program runs. The button will still blink twice when you press it to give you some feedback that it "Heard" you. Hope this helps. -Xathros

Or a RaspberryPi with a PiFace IO Board. I do this for my wired door sensors and will for wired PIR's as soon as I find a wired PIR that I like. -Xathros

The configurator is a windows only thing I believe. The emulator runs in java so it should work on a mac just fine. I run mine on a RaspberryPi with Linux with no problems. Both would work in a Windows VM but I'd hate to have to keep a VM running on my Mac all the time. -Xathros

Those amperage ratings are likely for 120V/240V operation with the lower amperage being for the 240V configuration. -Xathros

I have found that image motion detection is problematic as the cameras will detect changes in light level as motion. I use Insteon PIRs to handle the motion detect and ISY instructs my foscams to point in the right direction and enable uploading to FTP hosted on an RPi that then uploads them to an off site storage system assuming my internet is up and running. No more images of nothing triggered by a change in cloud cover or a car passing the house reflecting the sun through the front window. -Xathros

Too cute! -Xathros

Got the hub/memo emulator up and running on an old Pi rev 1 and have it operating one x10 device on my test ISY now. Pretty cool! Setup is a pain and I don't see this as a viable solution for end users but I suspect it won't be long till we have a much more user friendly solution for bridging the Echo to the ISY. -Xathros

Well, this is great is you are near the Echo. Not so great when out of range of the mic. Siri lives on my wrist now and is available wherever I am so I still want Siri to be able to talk to my ISY. -Xathros

Mine delivered today. Won't get to play till tomorrow however. -Xathros

I remember now. You mentioned that previously. Sorry. As for the 14V to IOLinc, Pick up a 12VDC relay and drive that with the 14V and use the relay's NO contacts to run to the IOLinc input. -Xathros

If your on iOS 8.2 or later, you can do exactly that with the free CtrlHome app listed here on the forums. You would need to use some state vars to interface to your programs but it's quite simple to do. -Xathros

As I suspected, just got a notice from Amazon - Mine has been rescheduled to June 15 -Xathros

Heh - how do you get special treatment? -Xathros EDIT: Nevermind... Mine looks exactly the same from the mobile interface. My guess is it will be on time ... until its late.

You can count on it! Could you provide a link to your sensor model and source? -Xathros

The ISY could certainly post back dated data to SEG with a network resource assuming we can get date and time values that SEG will accept. That said, I'm not sure how to detect the gap, determine whats missing, then look up and post the old data. This is not an ideal thing to attempt with the ISY's event driven logic. As for my setup, I'm not seeing any gaps in data however I am seeing bad (out of range - low values) values coming from my CAI Board on a regular basis. Getting closer to pulling the trigger on the Autelis box. -Xathros

If that is the case, it would be nice to see the same capability in the ISY. I have had an access point lock up once or twice. Would be nice to check them with the 3am query or other program and fire off a notification if they fail to respond. Otherwise there isn't much value to adding them to the device tree. -Xathros

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
