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

It is my understanding that everything in the ISY is backed up with the exception of: The firmware itself. The contents of the web server (if you have the network module). As long as you backup before upgrading, you can always reinstall an older firmware then restore a backup matching that older version of the firmware to get back to where you were. The backup names include the firmware version number in them for your convenience. -Xathros

I tend to make backups right after I make a bunch of changes. As long as I do that consistently, I can always go back the the previous backup to undo my recent changes. This way I don't need to wait for the backup before I can get to work. -Xathros

The same applies to: User variables, Scenes, Programs, Network Resources and Email customizations. All are internally referenced by an internal ID# so the name matters only to you. -Xathros

Sorry, after reading the whole thread, it seems I had missed the point and my previous suggestion was an answer to a different problem. I suspect we could work around this with the Pi however. Use the Pi to stuff the octets of the IP into 4 ISY vars then used those in your notification. I'll think about how to accomplish that. -Xathros

Couldn't you embed an identifier in the body or subject using a variable? You would need to know the meaning of the value but you are talking a fairly limited number of locations right? Or am I not understanding the issue at hand? -Xathros

It simply check for a release version higher than the installed version from what I can see. -Xathros

It's possible that you like me have been running beta versions with numbers higher than the official release when the official release is announced. That happened to me with this release as I'm on 4.3.0 and the ISY did not notify me of the official release since it's version was lower then what I have installed. -Xathros

A long long time ago in a firmware far far away... Been there for as long as I can remember. Only works with Official Final versions however. -Xathros

I think Stu means Status not Sense. -Xathros

5.X will have more advanced ZWave support and be on the leading edge while 4.X will have fully tested and certified support is how I interpreted that. -Xathros
