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

Welcome aboard Mike! Glad to see the UDI team expanding. -Xathros

Can you try putting a filterlinc between the load and the Syncrolinc or is the load too heavy for that? -Xathros

Open the admin console on your Macbook while outside your network. Find the ISY finder (probably hiding behind the admin console), Click the add button and fill in the remote version of the url as I posted above.then once added, double click the remote url in the ISY finder. -Xathros

That should work just fine. -Xathros

It sounds like you are already set up with port forwarding using port 443. All you need to do is set up the machine you are trying to access from with the right URL to connect to your external IP at port 443. That should look something like: https:/// -Xathros

104F is not that far fetched inside an electrical junction box exposed to the sun. At my previous house, I had an inlinelinc relay installed in an outside Floodlight/motion sensor on my garage for 2-3 years with no problems. Climate here in So. VT is very similar to Boston. I'm quite sure it saw temperatures outside of the specs on both ends many times. -Xathros

Yes, unfortunate. I understand this to be a limitation of the keypad, itself. Actually, I believe this is a limitation of the Insteon protocol and not the device specifically. LeeG has explained the reason somewhere on this forum in the past. -Xathros

Barry- For each scene, the controller (ie the button you press for that scene) should have an on level of 100% and the remaining 3 buttons should have an on level of 0%. First, add the fan motor to each scene as a responder. Might as well just get it done now. For for the High Scene, Select the A button, set the onlevel for A to 100%, B to 0%, C to 0% and D to 0% and the Fan to High Then Select the Scene for Medium, Select Button B and Set the Onlevel for A to 0%, B to 100% , C to 0% and D to 0% and the Fan to Med Then Select the Scene for Low and select Button C, Set the Onlevel for A to 0%, B to 0% C to 100% and D to 0% and the Fan to Low Then Select the Scene for Off, Select the D button and Set A to 0%, B to 0% C to 0% and D to either 100% or 0% depending on what you want D to do when pressed - Set the Fan to Off You will want to go through these settings for each scene twice. Once with the scene name selected in the tree on the left and again with the controller (as per the list above) of the scene selected in the tree on the left. The controller is the scene member listed in red for the scene when you expand the scene in the tree. The setting for the controller define what happens when you push a KPL button to activate the scene. The settings for the scene name define what happens when the scene is initiated by the admin console or a program. I would expect you want both to be the same. Hope that helps. -Xathros

In my opinion, Insteon is not reliable enough to be used for security. That takes a real system like Elk with supervised sensors, tamper detection, battery backup etc. The ISY is a major value add to a system like Elk but not a replacement. -Xathros

I'm running Java 1.7.55 here with ISY FW 4.2 on MAC OS X 10.9.2 with no issues. -Xathros

Anytime. Happy to help. -Xathros

Yes. The timer will restart every time the 2nd program is called even if it is already running. This is different because the first program can now evaluate false and not terminate the countdown in the then clause since the timer is now in a separate program. -Xathros

Try splitting this into two programs as follows: If ( Control 'GarageMotionSensor-Sensor' is switched On And Status 'IOLinc-GarageDoor-Sensor' is On And From Sunrise + 1 hour To Sunset - 1 hour (same day) ) Or ( Control 'GarageMotionSensor-Sensor' is switched On And From Sunset - 1 hour To Sunrise + 1 hour (next day) ) Then Run Program GlightTimer (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Program GlightTimer If Then Set 'GarageLight' On Wait 2 minutes Set 'GarageLight' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Hope this helps. -Xathros

"Goto http:///admin/admin.jnlp" should result in a file download that can be saved. Your browser must be opening the file for you. What browser are you using? You are correct that the 4.1.17 AC is what is in the ISY's firmware. You can pull the 4.1.2 AC from UDI's website the same way using: http://isy.universal-devices.com/994i/4.1.2/admin.jnlp Again, you want to save the file not open it at this stage. For the Dashboard, use: http://isy.universal-devices.com/994i/4 ... board.jnlp Using Firefox, I am prompted to save the resulting JNLP files from the links above. -Xathros
