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

Outdoor motion detector
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

GDO - light integration?

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

GDO - light integration?
Instead of using a Scene or the IOLink directly in ML, you would set up a program like: Program: GarageOpenClose (Make sure you set this program as DISABLED) If 2Car.sensor is On (Assuming sensor is on when door is closed - otherwise change this to Off) Then Set '2Car.relay' On Wait 2 seconds Set Scene 'Mudroom_Lights' On Wait 5 minutes Set Scene 'Mudroom Lights' Off Else Set '2Car.relay' On Wait 5 minutes Set Scene 'Mudroom Lights' Off Set the program to RunIf on the ML Dashboard. Pressing the Icon on the ML dashboard will open the door and turn on the mudroom lights for 5 minutes if the door was closed. If the door was open, it will simply close the door, wait 5 mins and turn the light off just in case you forgot. Hope this works for you. -Xathros

How do I program this?
You will want to make sure that the IOLinc Relay Options are set for "Latching Continuous" rather than any of the momentary modes. If Time is Sunset Or Time is 10pm Or Time is 2am Or Time is Sunrise Then Set 'IOLinc Relay' On Wait 35 seconds Set 'IOLinc Relay' Off Else That should do it. -Xathros

GDO - light integration?
Hi Jeff- The system cannot distinguish between the remote or the GDO keypad. You could tell when the GDO is activated by Mobilinc if using a program. You could easily trigger a lighting routine based on the door opening by using the IOLinc sensor but you would need other criteria to decide if you are coming or going. Geofence may not help as you will still be in the region regardless of direction. If you have a sensor on the door between the mudroom and garage, you could turn on the light in the mudroom when the mudroom door is opened and the garage door is already open and not turn on the light if mudroom door is open while the garage door is closed. This probably depends on where your GDO buttons are located in relation to the mudroom door. Hope this helps. -Xathros

How Many Programs Do You Have?
I have: 552 Programs 7 Folders with conditions 93 State Mvars 136 Integer Mvars 381 Network resources. Like MWareman above, I expect to drop many resources and a number of programs once 5.x allows wider usage of variables. At that time I expect to increase the number of both state and integer variables in use. -Xathros

TriggerLinc (Control) with Wait command problem
Anytime! Happy to help. -Xathros

TriggerLinc (Control) with Wait command problem
Try this: If Control 'Garage-Furnace Room / Furnace Room-Opened' is switched On And Control 'Garage-Furnace Room / Furnace Room-Opened' is not switched Off Then Set 'Garage-Furnace Room / Furnace Room Lights' On Else Wait 15 minutes Set 'Garage-Furnace Room / Furnace Room Lights' Off When using Control you need to specify each control signal that you want to trigger on. If you used Status instead, a one liner would have worked. -Xathros

Every insteon device came on 100%
I think, in general, the rule is: add a delay between any Insteon trigger and subsequent programmed Insteon action especially (but not limited to) when the triggering device is an RF device. -Xathros

ON-OFF Modules no longer responding to scene off command
Looks to me like comm failure plain and simple. Try unplugging the loads and run a few scene tests. Then reconnect and repeat. Any difference? If so, you may need to place filters on the loads. -Xathros

Are they working on Mobilinc updates?
A router that supports VPN and is configured to do accept VPN connections, a VPN configuration on your mobile device to connect to your router's VPN server and usually a DDNS service so that you can find your router's VPN server from outside when you have a dynamic IP from your ISP. -Xathros
-
Are they working on Mobilinc updates?
You don't need the connect features if you can port forward the https port through your router or use vpn as you stated. No scam at all here and the Dev of Mobilinc is very upfront about not requiring a connect subscription. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

KPL Button won't light with scene
Set it to non toggle then set it back. Also check the on level in the scene when the button is selected. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Incorrect IOLinc Query
Was your relay On at the time by any chance? -Xathros

Program vs Scene for Garage doors.
In your situation, I see no need to use a scene. Just add the IOLinc sensor in place of your tilt sensors. Wire the switch so that the IOLinc sensor is On when the door is Open. -Xathros

Using the 8 button keypad to monitor the garage door open status?
No, for the IOLinc. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Using the 8 button keypad to monitor the garage door open status?
You could create a new "AlmostEverything" scene and include everything except the IOLink then edit the 3am query to use your new scene instead. -Xathros
