Two dead PLMs in a row-- is it the ISY?

Z-Wave Ordering
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

DVR type recording Insteon IP Camera & ISY???

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

What camera solutions are you integrating with ISY
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

What camera solutions are you integrating with ISY
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

Device / Program / Variable and Where Used
Anytime! Happy to help. -Xathros

Device / Program / Variable and Where Used
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

Thanks Michel- I've had UPnP bombardment from my DirecTV receivers in the past. I have debug on and am waiting for it to happen again. I will let you know what I see on the next occurrence. -Xathros

Yes, there is a web interface for control but not for configuration and programming. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

System -101 http errors
Hi Michel- I will turn on debugging and watch the logs. Nothing new on my network. The errors were exactly as I posted, -101. My ISY does make extensive use of my network so this could be related to something I have done. I will post back when I know more. Thanks. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good Programming Practices in ISY
The instead would be the True/False status of a program. Useful mostly for boolean functions. My preference would be a variable instead of a program but there have been a few cases where using the state of a program seemed more elegant to me. For instance, if you have a program that sets a variable to 1 in the then and 0 in the else, the true/false status of the program is identical to the variable and unless your doing math with the variable's value, makes it just extra and unnecessary. For me a variable seems more flexible. It has a current and init value, can do math, has more than 2 possible values and if named well can actually help document a program. Mostly though, it's a matter of preference. -Xathros

Time of Day
As long as 5.X breaks the date into separate month/day/year fields, then I think we have what we need to do calendaring - just not pretty. -Xathros

Program question
You are correct. This will require 2 programs. This: Run Program 'Front Door2' (Then Path) is the problem. Should be If Path. You are bypassing the time test by calling the Then directly. A few suggestions: 1) Make a new notification address group that contains both Gary and Sandy's addresses/Numbers. That way you can issue a single transaction to notify both. 2) You programs will turn the light off when triggered during the day even if you turned it on manually. Try something like this: If Control 'Front Porch / MS (DD)' is Switched On Then Send Notification to 'Text Gary/Sandy' content 'FrontDoor.Motion' Run Program 'Front Door2' (If Path) $FrontDoor.Triggered = 1 Else Wait 10 seconds $FrontDoor.Triggered = 0 Sub Program ---------------------------- If From Sunset - 3 hours To Sunrise (next day) Then Set 'Front Porch / Front Porch Switch' On Wait 5 minutes (Adjust this delay to your needs) Set 'Front Porch / Front Porch Switch' Fast Off Else The program summary is showing how the programs last ran. The FrontDoor2 program was forced to run tue by your runThen call. Hope this helps. -Xathros

Time of Day
Larry- The variable must be a State variable and it's value must change for it to trigger an evaluation. Integer variables are evaluated when a program is triggered but they do not trigger a program when their value changes. -Xathros

External Temp Sensor HACK Anyone Accomplish This ?
Lets say that after modifying the unit with an external probe and testing against a known accurate thermometer, the unit is reading 3 deg above actual. (ie: 80 deg actual reads as 83 deg on the multi sensor) Lets say we want to keep the temp between 80 and 85: If Status 'ZWave MultiSensor' < 83° F Then Set 'Heater' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') and If Status 'ZWave MultiSensor' > 88° F Then Set 'Heater' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') So - simply move your decision points up by 3 degrees. Make sense? -Xathros

External Temp Sensor HACK Anyone Accomplish This ?
I'll have to dig out the docs that came with it. I vaguely remember a way to adjust the unit but can't say for sure. At worst, you could just deal with the reading being off and adjust for it at the ISY. -Xathros
