Using mini remote how do you add fast on off to a scene?
Solid advice. This is exactly how I got to where I am now. -Xathros

Question about the garage control kit
In that line of thinking, one could place a normally closed reed switch in series with the IOLinc relay so that the circuit to the relay is broken when the door is closed. -Xathros

Using motion sensor dusk.dawn sensor and low bat programming question
Sorry, My bad! I just assumed that the sensor node could be queried under program control. It would appear not. I also have not been able to write updates via program despite various delays as described in another thread. In my case, all of my sensors are 5+ years old and I suspect some things have changed with newer sensors that might make this possible. -Xathros

Using motion sensor dusk.dawn sensor and low bat programming question
You can query the low batt node via program. Just need to make sure that the program knows you replaced the batt. The MS only notifies on low batt once so it won't continue to remind you after clearing if you haven't replaced the batt. Night only needs to be disabled. Try setting the sensitivity to 128. You will need to play with that value to get it where you need it. The MS needs to cross the light/dark threshold defined by that value for 3.5 minutes before it will change state for the dusk/dawn node. Hope this helps. -Xathros

Using motion sensor dusk.dawn sensor and low bat programming question
No - program is good. Once the node clears the program will eval false and stop. Query the low batt node to clear the On condition. There is a another setting in the MS for Night only mode that need to be disabled. -Xathros

Email temperature status
While this is not exactly what you asked for, this is what I do and contains what you need to do what you asked. In my case, I heat with a pellet stove. I use info from my Insteon stat (tied to my oil burner) to control the stove via a relay interface. I have my Stat set at 58 (minimum temp before the furnace comes on) and force the stat to stay there if manually changed. My ISY programs determine when to enable/disable the stove and I can change those set points and hours of operation in my programs. In fact, I have different set points and hours of operation automatically chosen based on outside temps. Thermostat - Autoset - [ID 01CA][Parent 0023] If Status 'Thermostats / LR Thermostat - Main' is not 58° (Heat Setpoint) Or Status 'Thermostats / LR Thermostat - Main' is not 82° (Cool Setpoint) Then Set 'Thermostats / LR Thermostat - Main' 58° (Heat Setpoint) Set 'Thermostats / LR Thermostat - Main' 82° (Cool Setpoint) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Hope this helps. -Xathros

Help with energy monitor ?
Heh, my Aotec ZWave smart energy switches require a factory reset to reset accumulated KWH. Firmware engineer must not have had his coffee that day... -Xathros

Garage Door / Switch not responding.
What else is plugged in in your garage? Battery chargers for tools and things like that can have an adverse effect on comms. Unplug everything other than the IOLinc, test again. If comms improve, add back items till the problem returns. Anything that kills your comms should be put on a filter. -Xathros

Email temperature status
It's encoded Unicode I believe and that is what causes the odd symbols and rejection by the email to sms gateway. -Xathros

I believe they are just changing the character encoding to avoid issues with mail gateways. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Question about the garage control kit
Ahh. Gotcha. So as long as you remember to lockout the remotes, then an All On won't hit your doors. -Xathros

Email temperature status
Should be: ${sys.node.29 25 2C 1.ST} -Xathros

Question about the garage control kit
It seems to me like this would still suffer from an All On if one were to happen on your network. What difference does it make with the IOLinc is connected directly to the opener or to a remote? If the IOLink relay closes unexpectedly, won't the door still actuate? -Xathros

Email temperature status
Yes. As long as your not sending this to an AT&T MMS address you should be fine. There is a recently discovered issue with the formatting of the degree symbol that the AT&T gateway does not like. UDI says this is fixed in the next firmware version. That custom notification was left over from my testing that issue and was not one I actually use otherwise the subject would have been more useful. -Xathros

Email temperature status
Here is the program to monitor the Stat: If Status 'Thermostats / LR Thermostat - Main' <= 122° (Temperature) Then Send Notification to 'Xathros Email' content 'Send Temp' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') The above program will trigger anytime the status of the Main stat node changes. Then the custom notification: Where 11 B2 7 is the insteon address of the Stat. Note if any of the 3 address digits contains a leading 0, drop the 0. In my example, the address is: 11.B7.07 which becomes 11 B7 7 Hope this helps. -Xathros

Temp from a TStat or from the Climate data received from HAMWeather? -Xathros

How do I set program priority when multiple programs exist?
You are missing Parens: If ( Status 'Main House / Master Bath / Main: MBath Toilet Light' is not Off Or Status 'Main House / Master Bath / Main: Mbath Shower' is not Off Or Status 'Main House / Master Bath / Main: MBath Keypad' is not Off ) And Control 'Leak - Motion - Trigger - Spr / Main: Trigger Drive-Opened' is switched On Then Run Program 'Driveway Alarm Master Bath' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Without the parens, the AND is only joining with the line above not the 3 lines above. This makes the program trigger if either of the first 2 devices turn off regardless of the Control message from the last device. What you were saying there is: If the toilet light is not off or If the Shower light is not off or If the keypad is not off and Drive-Open switched On Then run the next program - the next program will re-trigger this since it turns on toilet and shower lights. -Xathros

Check internet connection
Thanks for the compliment and the comments. I have considered this and I can easily add some more code to suspend the resets for a few hours after a few cycles but so far this has not been a problem for me. My connection is quite stable. We have had one extended outtage in the last few years and during that, I manually disabled my test program. Of course, I was home at the time. Had I been away, this would have resulted in the modem being rebooted numerous times. -Xathros

Dead KeypadLinc?
Then it sounds to me like its a hardware problem. if its only the A button, its likely just a bad tact switch under that button. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

conditional folder question
With one note, a program with no conditions does not need to be disabled as it cannot self trigger with no conditions. Disabling makes not difference in this case. -Xathros

Dead KeypadLinc?
Does the "A" button turn on but not off by chance? Is there a load connected to the KPL's red wire? If so, what kind of load it is? -Xathros

A failure to communicate
Are you tapping the Off paddle in Mobilinc or Touching and holding for a moment? It's possible you are issuing a Fade down rather than an Off. Instead of using the graphic paddle for a device, try clicking the Config gear for THE SCENE (not an individual device) and select Off. Does that work as expected? -Xathros

8 button KPL shows up as 5 button
Don't need to but if you want to, remove it from the ISY and add it back using the drop down to specify and 8 button KPL rather than using auto discover. -Xathros

8 button KPL shows up as 5 button
I suspect that you used Auto Discover for the device type with this one and specified the type as 8 button KPLs when adding the others. Only issue is how the ISY describes the device. It should work just fine as is. -Xathros
