  1. ejh3- When setting a static address, make sure the address that you choose is outside of the router's DHCP pool. Many routers use 192.168.1.1 - 254 and have from 192.168.1.100-150 as the DHCP pool. Use an address like 192.168.1.10 for the ISY as long as that is not already assigned elsewhere. Also, you might consider setting your DNS in the ISY to 8.8.8.8 (Google's public DNS). This has proven quite reliable for me on my ISY. -Xathros
  2. Even if UDI would allow the system information they current support in notifications to be written to variables, or just generally used in programs in place of direct values, it would resolve lots of these painful workarounds. I believe this is coming in 5.X -Xathros
  3. I bought my CT-800's from ebay but I had found a manufacturer's source as well. I'll see if I can dig that up for you tomorrow. I love the way these things work. Paired with a CAI board or Raspberry Pi they make awesome little sensors for all sorts of things. I have one on my oil burners's induction motor, washer, dryer, water pump and i'm considering taping the runs to 2 electric stoves. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Here is a long interesting thread on Laundry monitoring with a number of options discussed along the way. http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=10104&hilit=laundry+monitoring -Xathros
  5. JeffWLeach- The new weather module does not work with Zipcodes. Enter your City/Town name then hit find and select the station that best suits your needs. -Xathros
  6. Anytime. Happy to help. -Xathros
  7. Same as pervious versions. System Preferences, Java pref pane, settings button, delete files, check all 3 boxes, Ok. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. I don't believe there is a way to change the sensor status after the query other than by cycling the door. The switch swap is the best solution and as above, can go at the top of the door. Thats where mine is too. Almost identical to EricK. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Smarthome's decision to go with that switch left many of us scratching our heads. I don't believe that they expect you to leave your garage open . They just decided that closed should be represented by the sensor being on rather than door open being on. Most, from my experience, seem to disagree. -Xathros
  10. You must have a newer Garage door kit from smarthome. The newer kits ship with a normally open reed switch whereas the older kits shipped with a dual contact switch (NO/NC) and we had our choice with On when Open or On when Closed depending on how we wired the switch. Most of us seem to prefer On = Open. The best thing to do here is replace the reed switch with:http://www.smarthome.com/7455B/SECO-LARM-Enforcer-SM-226L-3-Magnetic-Garage-Door-Contact-Switch/p.aspx and wire the black/red in place of your current switch. Trigger reverse will appear to do what you want until you query the IOLinc or the 3AM query runs. When queried the IOLinc returns the ACTUAL sensor status rather than the Trigger Reversed status. This will throw off your status in ML and any scenes/programs driven by the IOLinc sensor. Hope this helps. -Xathros
  11. The $1 module is the firmware component required to use the $99 ISY ZWave radio hardware. Without the radio, the ISY does not do ZWave with or without the $1 module. So, short answer is: No, you cannot. If you do have the ZWave radio and firmware module, you still will not be able to do what you want (yet) since the ISY does not yet support multi-channel ZWave devices like remotes. I believe support for this is coming in the 5.X firmware series. -Xathros
  12. Larry- Are you sure the triggers are being missed? Check the last run time of suspect programs to be sure. I feel it is more likely that the resulting activity from the triggered programs may be preventing or delaying the result of some of the triggers rather than the triggers being missed. Insteon activity will queue up and take priority over a number of other things. This may result in the appearance of some programs not being triggered. -Xathros

    Excellent! Happy ZWaving... -Xathros

    Select Help / About What is shown for the UI line? If not 4.2.3, then you need to clear your java cache including applications and then load a new admin console from:http://isy.universal-devices.com/994i/4.2.3/admin.jnlp -Xathros
  16. Go to control panel, programs, click on java, security. set security to medium. Hope this helps. -Xathros
  17. Anytime. Happy to help. -Xathros
  18. Replace with is only an option for very similar devices. A Switch to a KPL won't work as you have found out. 1) Click on your current Switch and make not of it's scene memberships as both controller and responder. After you remove the switch and add the KPL, you will need to add the KPL's primary node to these scenes in place of the switch. 2) Go to the programs tab and right click on My Programs, Select Find/Replace and search for the name of your current switch. Make note of any programs in which that switche's name is found. After you remove the switch and add the KPL, you will need to edit these programs and replace "Undefined" with the KPL's primary node. If you add the KPL before removing the switch, you can use the Find/Replace to replace the Switch with the KPL primary node in your programs then remove the switch afterward. Unless you have some very complex stuff going on, this should only take a few minutes to accomplish. Hope this helps. -Xathros
  19. Excellent. Happy to help. -Xathros
  20. I think your remote port forwarding may be the issue. Or, possibly your remote IP address has changed. Are you using a DDNS service for the remote location? -Xathros
  21. My apologies. I did in fact misunderstand the question. Not being familiar with Tasker, I cannot answer that. However, I do believe the other thread has the info you are looking for. -Xathros
  22. I would suspect that you could place a resistor in series with the IOLinc relay contacts to keep the display clock functional and still trigger the door. You would need to experiment to find an appropriate value. -Xathros Edited for spelling.
  23. Was anything logged between 16:20:17 and 16:20:39? If so, please post those entries. -Xathros
  24. Using /rest/status/21 61 F8 2 I get: Indicating that the Dusk/Dawn node of this motion sensor is On. Using: /rest/status/1 C9 FA 1 I get: Indicating the on level of 41% on this dimmer. Hope this helps. -Xathros
  25. Insteon scenes don't have a status. You would need to test the status of each scene member to make a determination. Many of us choose a single member device to represent the status of a scene. Others will set a variable at the same time as turning on/off a scene and use the value of the variable to represent the scene's status. -Xathros
