I'm using pool.ntp.org on both of my ISY's just fine with "Custom location" based on my lat/lon. One thing I found way back when I set this up was that I couldn't get the ISY to accept my location until I enlarged the custom location window and discovered that the longitude field that previously hidden. Once expanded and both lat/lon values entered, all worked like a champ. See below: One additional item to check: look at your error log after trying to sync. Make sure you have no DNS errors. If you do, you may want to try providing the ISY with 8.8.4.4 for a DNS server. Hope this helps. -Xathros

With the upcoming V5.x firmwares, things like date and time may be assignable to variables. Once that is possible, you should be able to order them however you like. -Xathros

Your looking at the settings for your incoming mail server. You need to look at the SMTP (Outbound) settings in your Apple Mail program. The settings Jimbo provided however will likely work for you. -Xathros

Hmmm. I replied to this around 4:30. Dunno what happened to my reply. Anyway, I tested and got the expected result- fail. Pretty sure that was a typo and should have read Device rather than Scene. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hmmm - Just noticed this in my notes: /rest/nodes/<node- id>/cmd/<command_name>/<param1>/<param2>/.../<param5> eg: /rest/nodes/<node-id>/cmd/DOF - turn off a device or a scene Insteon - /rest/nodes/<node-id>/cmd/DON/128 - turn on a scene to 50% This was copied from an older WSDK document an may be a typo. I have not tested this yet but will in a minute. -Xathros

That is because they are two entirely different actions. In the first case, the ISY's PLM is sending a DIRECT command to the ONE device in question. In the second case, the Device itself is sending a group command to all linked devices when you press the paddle. It's actually a very common to have this confusion with new users here. "Why when I control a device from the ISY does it not control the other devices linked to the device I controlled?" The difference is that the ISY and most other HA controllers are controlling the device with direct commands - not group/scene commands. If you were to analyze what happens when you brighten the scene by holding the paddle, you would see that the device is sending "Fade Up" then Fade Stop" to the group. You can do that same thing from your App via the PLM. The difficulty here is going to s specific brightness as that is NOT built into the protocol for a group command. -Xathros

I make a new backup after any significant change and with every firmware update. I have never needed to restore for reasons other than going back to an older firmware to test something. Regardless, I'd not want to be without a current backup. -Xathros

Not sure on the adjust scene part as I've never done that via REST. The direct ON commands are simply: /rest/nodes/12 12 1F 1/cmd/DON/143 /rest/nodes/12 12 1E 1/cmd/DON/143 /rest/nodes/12 12 1D 1/cmd/DON/143 -Xathros

Not sure how else one could end up in that situation but, as long as you have a good backup of the ISY, recovery shouldn't be difficult. -Xathros

I suspect that a Delete PLM was issued from the menu at some point. -Xathros

You issue adjust scene statements to however many devices in the scene you want to change then issue a scene On command or issue direct ON commands the the member devices with whatever brightness you desire. -Xathros

Do you have an recent ISY backup from before the PLM failure? If so, I would restore the backup then run the Restore PLM again. -Xathros

UDI currently has their first batch of 5 test PLM's ready but I believe they are waiting for a resolution to the pesky All On events before going into full scale production. -Xathros

Additionally, make sure the address is correct. 8 and B are often mistaken for each other. -Xathros

Always happy to help. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bfish- You will need both the hardware and the software module. I don't believe the order of installation matters but the module is useless without the hardware installed. Have you ordered the software module from the menu within the admin console yet? -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Your original link ended with "%C2%A0" Once removed, the URL is fine. If you look at the original link, you will see the underline extend beyond ...cgi-api/ -Xathros

Swap the cable between Port A on the ISY and the PLM with a known good cable. Power down the ISY, reboot the PLM, wait 10 seconds then power up the ISY. -Xathros

Mobilinc does a good job of bringing the ISY to the mobile device and with the support of IP cams, it makes a nice solution for remote control and viewing. -Xathros

There are no "Insteon" cameras. SH sells a re-branded Foscam camera that they call Insteon but only because their Smartphone App supports the camera stream. The cam itself does not speak Insteon. A number of us interact with PTZ cams using ISY network resources to do things like point the cam to a particular location or enable/disable recording etc. Others are using Synology NAS boxes to capture/record video from IP cams and then interact with the Synology via the ISY. I believe with the latter, you can have a cam cause an action on the ISY though this may require a third machine in the middle. In some cases, with a middleman server like an RaspberryPi, you can have a Foscan cam trigger an action on the ISY as well but I have heard conflicting reports depending on the cam's firmware level. Mobilinc has support for a wide range of IP cams and this brings the appearance of integration with the HA system. Hope this helps. -Xathros

Anytime! Happy to help. -Xathros

You can right click on any of your programs and select Find/Replace, use that to search for your Raw text, variable, device, scene or program name. For scene membership, simply select the device in the tree and look at the right side of the screen to any scenes that it controls or responds to. -Xathros

No, nor in my router. So far this has not happened again. I just turned debug back on (after yesterdays update) and am awaiting another occurrence. -Xathros

Right click on any one of your programs or folders, select Status Icons and Detailed. Test again. -Xathros
