Nope. Pick up an ISY-994 and a new 2413 s PLM for the remote location. Install, enable port forwarding for the ISY through your router and possibly set up a ddns account and configure router to use it. You will want to factory reset the insteon devices before adding them to the new ISY. This will eliminate the links to the Smartlink. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't see enough info in your previous post to help you form a resource rule. Need a complete url to start with. Be aware that you will only be able to build static messages with the current net resource capabilities as we have no access to substitution variable in the resources yet. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You don't use network resources for that. Instead, use custom notifications to send email to the provider's email to sms gateway. Try @pcs.rogers.com as the address. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

wmcneil- I think it is possible to flash your 994 with the 994Z (zigbee) series firmware. The Z series firmware does not enter safe mode when no PLM is detected at startup. This would allow the ISY to operate in the event of a PLM failure at power up. As mentioned above, you can use a test of "Responding" against one or more Insteon devices to determine the PLM status and notify based on the outcome. Michel- Can you confirm that this is a viable approach? -Xathros Edited to correct typo.

I love that digital loggers din relay. Combined with the ISY and network module it is very reliable and quite useful. I use the first 3 relays to cut/re-establish power to my ISY, CAIWebcontrol, RaspberryPi and my Cable modem/Router. Modem and router share a relay, CAI and RPi share another. The remaining 5 relays are controlled by the ISY via state variables as follows: Program: Relay_4_Control If $s.Relay_4 is 1 Then Resource 'DINRELAY: Relay 4 On' Else Resource 'DINRELAY: Relay 4 Off' This allows me to not only control the relay by simply changing the value of s.Relay_4 from 0 to 1 but to also trigger other actions based on the state of the relay. The din relay unit allows you to define the default state of each relay on power up. If you simply set the INIT value for the corresponding state variable accordingly, the ISY and relays can/will stay in sync even through a power failure. ie: If relay 4 is supposed to be on by default, I would set the Init value for s.Relay_4 to 1. In addition, I have the DIN relay ping my ISY , CAI board and the Outside address of my cable modem (Static) every few minutes. If anything doesn't respond, the relay will power cycle the appropriate devices. -Xathros

Yes. -Xathros

Given the situation and requirements, the best solution I see i a second ISY at the remote end. Currently, you will need to write programs to manage the devices at the other end. Depending on requirements this may be as simple as defining a few modes of operation for the remote end and having the home end set a remote variable to change the remote mode. In an upcoming release of the ISY firmware, we should be gaining the ability to more cleanly merge multiple ISY's making the integration more seamless. This will work very nicely over ethernet. I would be very happy to help with getting the 2 ISY's talking if you need the help. -Xathros

I have to agree with Larry on this. While I also did not spent enough time to fully understand what you are attempting to accomplish here, I do see several programs that will loop due to the else statements. Program 'A:Russound Off' Program 'A:All Lts OFF' Are both going to cause endless loop problems as written. -Xathros

There are some issues with using Safari with the ISY. I recommend Firefox or Chrome instead. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hope this is just coincidence. What firmware were both of you running? -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anytime. -Xathros

Lee, for my own clarity. While what you stated would be true when only the time frame trigger is installed in the "If" but when the time frame is used as a condition (used with another trigger) would the time constraint not be evaluated each time that other trigger even was incurred? So as an example: If Control from Motion Sensor is Switched On and From 10:00PM to 6:00AM Then Do It Else - Would the time parameters not also be examined for true or false (inside/outside the frame ) each time 'Control from Motion Sensor is Switched On' is triggered? Larry- This would only evaluate true when the Control was switched On between 10pm and 6am (next day assumed here). It would evaluate false at 10Pm and 6am due to the time triggers. IF you had used STATUS instead, then it may evaluate true at 10pm if the device was already on at 10pm. Now, to the point of your question, anytime a program is triggered, the ENTIRE IF section is evaluated and runs true or false based on ALL of the conditions together. LeeG's example was assuming no conditions beyond the time range. -Xathros

Oh well... was worth a shot. Sorry, I have no further ideas. I would submit a ticket with UDI for the fastest response. http://sales.universal-devices.com/contact-support -Xathros

I have to wonder if the ISY's IP address has changed and you are actually pinging and attempting to connect to some other device on your network. Can you check the DHCP client table on your router and verify that the ISY is where you think it is? -Xathros

My understanding says that once this program is "RunningThen" the lamp should turn on every 20 minutes for 1 to 15 minute random durations. -Xathros

When my motion detectors trigger an alarm, I have the foscams patrol predefined routes and enable FTP uploading of images once per second, This seems to work quite well for me. Of course this is not using the "Alarm" function of the cam but it may be a useful work around for some. -Xathros

I find that From/to is ideal for fixed start end end times. From/For works better for moving targets like sunset. ie: Turn on a light at sunset for 4 hours. Otherwise one is no better than the other. -Xathros

It would be less prone to powerline issues however being an RF only device, it is susceptible to RF interference. With few to no ZWave neighbors to build up the mesh, I think ZWave would be less reliable in your situation. -Xathros

The Keypadlinc is not a numeric alarm style keypad and was not designed with that usage in mind. That said, I do remember someone on this forum using one that way a year or two back. It would take a number of programs and timers to watch the keypad and validate the button sequence. If it comes down to it, I'm sure I could create a series of programs to do this for you. -Xathros

I have been toying with this idea as well. If I move forward, I will be installing the sensor inside the Fan/Light unit above the grille. -Xathros

In terms of RF performance only, my impression is that ZWave has better range performance than Insteon. Insteon has the benefit of power line communications to distribute a message to more distant dual band devices which will then retransmit via RF. ZWave relies on RF only and neighboring nodes within RF range to pass on a message. As for the outlet, it sounds like Insteon would be the better choice for you based on your current situation. I would recommend the Outdoor Appliance Module. I have two of these in operation that have been quite reliable so far. Both are a little over a year old. http://www.smarthome.com/2634-222/INSTEON-On-Off-Outdoor-Module/p.aspx -Xathros

It does. -Xathros

Hi stillen_i30 - Two things you can do to start. First, have a look at the error log from the times when a notification failed and post any errors in that timeframe. Second, look at your notification customizations and make sure that neither the Subject or Body fields can evaluate to a blank. There needs to be content in BOTH fields for a message to send. -Xathros

Normally Open Output of the cam to Sense and Ground on the IOLinc. -Xathros

My guess is all tests have been too bright. Try putting the sensor in a dark drawer for 5 minutes. Also, I believe that after changing jumper settings, you need to tap the set button and wait 10 or so seconds with no motion before the new settings take effect- vague memory from reading the manual for one of these ages ago. -Xathros
