Electric Radiant Floor Heating Thermostat
I don't believe this is necessarily true. Some OneWire devices can run in parasitic mode where it only requires 2 wires (Gnd and Pwr/Data). I think this configuration is more common when there is only a single sensor wired to a host (TStat) rather than when multiple sensors are used as in your case. -Xathros

Cannot restore my ISY994iPro
This is quite strange. It may be time to open a support ticket with UDI and they will help you get to the bottom of this. Create your ticket here: http://www.universal-devices.com/contact-support -Xathros

Cannot restore my ISY994iPro
Clear the java cache again then goto: http:// <your.isy.ip.address>/admin/admin.jnlp Save the download and then run it, this will install a 4.2.18 version of the Admin console. Log in with that and see how it goes. I would recommend upgrading the ISY firmware to 4.2.30 once you get in. -Xathros

Cannot restore my ISY994iPro
There are several possibilities here. First, Reboot the ISY. On occasion, they seem to hang on the restart after a firmware upgrade. Power cycling will resolve this. Second, temporarily turn off any AV or Firewall software running on your computer. If that solves the problem, you will need to exclude the ISY's IP address from the firewall. After you cleared the Java cache, did you download a new Admin console applet from the Firmware upgrade post? If not, do that and try again. Hope this helps. -Xathros

Calling a scene from another program
No problem. Glad you get it sorted out. -Xathros

Calling a scene from another program
Not sure I understand the request. Which motion sensor? Scenes don't run true or false, programs do. Your All Lights program can call a second program to look at the other sensor and turn on the LED's but if the other sensor is already controlling the LED's, it seems to me like you've already accomplished the stated goal. I must be missing something. -Xathros

Notification Delays
I too see delays when sending notifications via SMS/MMS to my AT&T cell. I have tested sending to both my MMS and Email simultaneously and find that the email arrives in the usual 5-15 seconds and the MMS can at times be just as quick but can often be delayed for many minutes. I have moved all critical notifications to Prowl and have been much happier with the performance there. -Xathros

Clothes Dryer Programs
Is this a Gas or Electric dryer? If Gas, then I think a Synchrolinc may be the best solution for detecting the states of the dryer as you should be able to tell the various draws, Running, idle, door open with light on etc. If Electric another solution may need to be found. I'm not a fan of your Triggerlinc solution as implemented. While the dryer is running, this will be flooding the Insteon network with On/Off messages from the Triggerlinc. This seems like a bad idea to me. Can't imagine the battery in the Triggerlinc will last long with that kind of usage either. If you have Zwave on your ISY, one of these energy meters would be a good solution to this problem: http://www.amazon.com/Aeon-Labs-DSB09104-ZWUS-Z-Wave-Energy/dp/B00DIBSKFU Like the Synchrolinc, you should be able to detect run, idle and door open with this. If done right, you could use one sensor for the dryer and one for the washer. Hope this helps. -Xathros

Massive communications failure.
Reboot the ISY. -Xathros

KPL Button won't light with scene
Excellent! Thanks for posting back with the result. -Xathros

FanLinc with Hue bulbs installed
Or as the op suggested, simply not use the light output of the fanlinc and wire the bulbs hot always. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is it possible to have a slow ramp down speed and a fast ramp up?
To take that a bit further, create a scene with the ramp rate you desire for the turn off ramp speed and set the controllers to that ramp rate. Then create a program as follows: If 'Control_A' is swiatched On or 'Control_B' is switched On Then Set Scene 'MyScene' FastOn When you turn the lights on with either control, thety will start to ramp up but the program will see the control on and issue a FastOn to get them on full. When you turn them off, the scene will just ramp off at the rate you set. Hope this helps. -Xathros

Simple Programs Not Running
Glad you got it going. I have never run into a situation with any of my ISY's like this and I really don't believe this to be a common issue. If this happens again, I think it would be worth doing some additional testing to narrow down the root cause. -Xathros

Very nice! Welcome aboard and thanks for the post. -Xathros

Simple Programs Not Running
The program runs once when the status changes to Off. The summary says the program has not run since startup. Cycle the Fan On/Off and see if the program status changes. -Xathros

Suddenly Trouble Creating a New Scene
How many scenes do you have already? Is your ISY a standard or Pro? Have you rebooted the ISY and tried again? -Xathros

ISY stopped talking to all devices - please help
This does sound like a failing PLM to me. -Xathros
-
Simple Programs Not Running
Possibilities: 1) The program is in a folder with conditions that are preventing it from triggering 2) The value of the state variable maybe non-zero but unless the value changes, it won't trigger. If the value is 1 and another program sets the value to 1 again, the program will not trigger as the value didn't change. 3) The initial program is set Disabled. Hope this helps -Xathros

Program Membership?
Well, yes. The IdeaScale site is fairly new. The product requests forum predates that by many years. I think the IdeaScale format works better for tracking feature requests and the associated demand for each request and I suspect thats why UDI decided to go that route. For what it's worth, it is somewhat integrated with the forums. You will see it in the upper right of the forums home screen: http://forum.universal-devices.com/index.php -Xathros

How Many Programs Do You Have?
While I do have quite a few Insteon nodes and a small but growing number of ZWave nodes, the large majority of my programs and variables relate to communication with other devices on my LAN and many do nothing with Insteon or ZWave nodes at all. -Xathros

I think they call rain at -45C with wind howling "light snow" up there in Canada. -Xathros

Program Membership?
There is an idea posted in the IdeaScale site for a feature like this. Have a look there and add your vote if you think it has merit. http://udi.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Program-edit-GUI-Show-programs-that-call-this-program/83984-32911 -Xathros

How Many Programs Do You Have?
Not sure whether or not to take that as a compliment... I also agree that simplicity is better and usually try to find the simplest answer to a problem. The current limitations however often dictate multiple programs to solve seemingly simple problems. I'm quite hopeful that the 5.X features will allow me to drastically simplify things and reduce the overall number of programs that I have now. Many of them are used to integrate with external devices (Din relay, Ubi, Hue etc) and when I can use one program and network resource combined with variables in many cases 10+ programs could easily become 1. -Xathros

KPL Button won't light with scene
Pull the Airgap switch on the KPL, wait 10 seconds, push the airgap all the way in and hold it in until the KPL beeps. Then go to the admin console, right click the KPL and select Restore Device. -Xathros
