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

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

And why I responded that they were just -101 -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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

Hi Stu- I'm 'm quite familiar with that list. You will notice that it does not list -101 -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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

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

In my experience, it's the salesmen that promise the world and me as the technician that has to deliver and make it work. Just sayin... -Xathros

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

Gotcha. -Xathros

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

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

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

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

Excellent! Glad we could help. -Xathros

I opened up my Everspring unit and it appears to use a thermistor for temp sensing. The thermistor is nestled together with the humidity sensing grid and may be somewhat difficult to remove and replace with leads to and external sensor. If done, you would likely need to recalibrate the unit to account for the added resistance of the leads to the external probe. The sensors fit tightly into a molded area of the front case that is vented to the outside and fairly well sealed from the inside when the sensors are in place. -Xathros

Hello arndtk86- As you have likely figured out, my program does not really disable the response to the motion sensor at all, it simply changes how the linked device responds to a motion event to make it appear that nothing happened. For daytime, simply turning off an already off light seems to do nothing. However, as you have discovered, it you were to manually turn on the light, the motion sensor will turn it back off when in this psudo-disabled state. The solution is to modify the responder link record to match what you want the light to be set at. So, if you manually turn the light on to 40%, then you will want to issue an adjust scene for the light when controlled by the motion sensor and set it to 40%. That way when the sensor is tripped, it turns the light on to 40% (where it already is, ie - no change.) Larry's programs above are an example of this concept using several different on levels based on time of day. When the 5.X firmware is released, this will become much easier. We will be able to monitor the for the manual control of a device, capture the current on level to a variable and use that variable in an adjust scene statement. -Xathros

I don't believe we will see very many more 4.x releases before we see a 5.X beta. I expect there will be a final 4.X in the next week or two then we are on to 5.X betas. Lots of awesome stuff coming in the 5.X series: New variable types, the ability to get/set values to/from devices, two way network communications, multi channel ZWave, and the ability to link multiple ISYs are just some of the things we have been teased with over the last year. 2015 looks like it will be a great year for the ISY community. -Xathros

The ethernet port on my 994 has both Link and Act LED's As do most switches I have seen. The OP stated that there was no blinking, I took that to mean there was a Link but no activity. If neither Link LED's are lit then, I have to agree and suspect fried port(s). -Xathros
