OK. I'm out of ideas then. -Xathros

What platform are you on? Mac or Windows? @stusviews- I assume you are on Windows? May be a difference in the Java UI for Mac/Win. -Xathros

Eric- Anytime. Happy to help. -Xathros

Mine turn blue when I'm renaiming a folder: -Xathros

Eric- Why test the status of the button? Just test the other lights and set the button. If it's already right, no harms done. If ( Status 'Basement / Basement Devices / Basement Bookcase Lights' is On Or Status 'Basement / Basement Devices / Basement Steps' is On Or Status 'Basement / Basement Devices / Basement Main Lights New' is On ) Then Set Scene 'Basement / Basement Scenes / Basement KPL Monitor Hallway ' On Else Set Scene 'Basement / Basement Scenes / Basement KPL Monitor Hallway ' Off This should take care of the whole thing for you. If one or more of the lights is on, the button will be lit. Otherwise, it's off. -Xathros

Ahh. Sounds like it could be a valuable tool. There are a few things I would like to do but haven't due to the need to my user/pass to be sent in the clear. Started building some cgi scripts to get around that. -Xathros

Always happy to help when I can. I'm not sure what you're referring to with ISY Proxy. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I haven't played with Hue yet. There are others here that have. I know there is an IFTTT channel for Hue that you might be able to trigger with an email. Once I do get my Hue, I will be attempting direct control over the LAN. I don't expect to be working on that for a few months yet. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As always, happy to help. The /REST interface requires dropping leading 0's so yes, and Insteon address with a leading 0 will be affected. I believe that if you run the Topology report, all of the addresses will be listed without the leading 0's in the format that you use in a /REST call. I keep an electronic copy of a current topology report for copying addresses from when developing /REST calls. The speed will improve. Somebody at UBI central probably "spilled pixie dust on the server" again. I have seen this several times during UBI's beta process. It usually clears up in a day or two. -Xathros

I assume that the lights turning on and the UBI followup response are happening nearly simultaneously. -Xathros

This is entirely an UBI portal issue. It is the NLP routines in the portal taking for ever to process your voice request. This comes and goes. My normal response time when things are working is 2 seconds from request to action. When its bad, up to 30 seconds like you are seeing now. If I was home, I would try one of my commands to see the response time. I bet mine is slow today too. -Xathros

Also, if UBI is still not working on voice command, try: "OK UBI... Update" This will force UBI to update with the latest changes you have made in the portal just in case it missed something earlier. -Xathros

Good. Your on your way. Next, add a followup utterance to the UBI recipe after the url call that says "Turning on kitchen lights." This way you will know if UBI understood your request. Then another recipe to turn the lights off using: http://XXX:XXX@10.0.1.91:8181/rest/nodes/20 7D 6 1/cmd/DOF There is a helpful document called "ISY-WS-SDK-Manual" that will help you with all of this /rest stuff at: http://www.universal-devices.com/developers/wsdk/4.2.18/ISY-WSDK-4.2.18.zip Hope this helps. -Xathros

Drop leading 0's in the addresses: http://XXX:XXX@10.0.1.91:8181/rest/nodes/20 7D 6 1/cmd/DON -Xathros

OK. Copy the URL as used in the UBI and paste it into a browser. Does it work there? Paste your url here (with your user/pass obscured) -Xathros

1) Make sure that the request is coming from the UBI locally and not via the portal. 2) I find it helpful to follow the /REST call with an UBI Utterance "Turning On the kitchen lights." This way, I know that UBI understood my request. -Xathros

Because you restarted your MAC. Happens to me too. The Console preferences are stored in a temporary location that gets lost with a restart. As long as you only sleep/resume it will keep the stored addresses and other preferences like color scheme and window positions etc. -Xathros

Hi Bert- The Trends chart allows you to graph device activities over time. This allows you to visualize on/off cycles of the selected device over a time frame. The Floor plan used to allow you to place your devices on a map of your house. This is obsolete and unsupported now. Generate Topology generates a report of all of your devices and scenes. A very useful piece of documentation on your installation. I run these after every few changes to the system and keep a PDF copy on my laptop for reference. Hope this helps. -Xathros

I tend to see Smarthome and Smartlabs as one in the same but I believe you are correct about Smartlabs being Insteon only. My gut tells me they are two divisions of a single entity. -Xathros

I would rather see UDI buy Insteon. Smarthome can run themselves into the ground selling random junk for more than its worth and let UDI take Insteon into the future. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

NOOOOOO!!! UDI should keep the ISY and continue development. There is nobody better for that task. -Xathros

Carl- You can purchase the ZWave hardware from UDI and the ZWave firmware module via the menus in the ISY-994. This is a public beta - all are welcome. In all likelihood, unless you have multi channel zwave devices, your existing devices will be usable now with the ISY-994 with ZWave module. With multichannel devices, you can likely add the first or primary node now but the remaining channels will be inaccessible until UDI adds multi channel support next year. The ZWave hardware is a daughter board that gets installed inside the ISY-994. I believe the cost for that is $99. It can be purchased from the UDI website along with an external antenna if so desired. The Firmware module is $1. Hope this helps. -Xathros

If in plain text, then a simply use a return in the text of the body. If HTML formatted, then use <br> -Xathros

This is likely because they have not yet reported status since the ISY restarted after the upgrade. The status will remain blank until the sensor reports. For it to report, the light level needs to change and remain above/below the threshold for 3.5 minutes. -Xathros
