Did you clear the java cache after installing the ZS firmware? -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not a genius, just an old timer... But thanks. Glad that got it working for you -Xathros

I have a few of these that have been problematic especially when there have been power outages. Usually, pulling the air gap switch for 10 seconds then returning to the normal position gets them working again. When pushing the air gap switch back in, be careful not to push it past flush as that may cause a factory reset. -Xathros

In my 5 years with the ISY, I have not had any major issues with beta firmwares and I have run almost every one of them since the 2.x days. That said, part of the upgrade process is making a backup of the ISY before the upgrade is installed. In the event you find an issue that you can't live with in the newer firmware, you simply downgrade the firmware to your previous version and restore your backup. -Xathros

Can be multiple controllers in a scene. A controller is also a responder. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is the node number. Many devices such as a dimmer or on/off switch only have one node. Others like Keypads and Motion Sensors have multiple nodes (Motion, Dusk/Dawn, Low Batt for MS or Keys 1-8 for a keypad). That last digit identifies the node within the device. -Xathros

The idea is to catch the random event in the log and hopefully see the cause. -Xathros

Hi ferdies- Can you run your event viewer at level 3 and attempt to catch one of these events. Post the relevant sections of the event trace after an event occurs. -Xathros

I'm thinking the digital IO on a CAI Webcontrol board or Raspberry Pi might be more cost effective and easier to implement here. Do you really need relay contacts to drive the TTL decoders? Use the ISY network module to talk to the controller. -Xathros

Venstar with Insteon integrated/external Insteon adapter or a ZWave TStat. The latter requires the ISY ZWave dongle and module. I would avoid the Smartlabs native Insteon TStat for the time being as it appears to have some issues that have proven to be a challenge for many here. -Xathros

Add ISY-99 to exception list with Java 1.7.51+ With the advent of Java 1.7.51 and up, Java applets are now required to contain a manifest file. Those that don’t are now not allowed to run unless you make a security exception for the applet. UDI has released newer firmware (4.1.2) that includes a manifest file and meets the new requirements. The ISY-99 series is not receiving firmware updates after firmware 3.3.10 as it has run out of room for the larger code in the newer firmwares. If you have decided not to upgrade to the ISY-994 series controllers, you will need to work around the new Java requirements and add an exception for your ISY-99i. Here is how to make that exception. MAC: Open System Preferences and double click the Java icon. In the Java preferences, click the security tab. Click “Edit Site List†Click “Add†and enter the URL for your ISY. Acknowledge the warning that this poses a security risk by clicking “Continue†Click “OK†then “OK†and close the Java preferences window. Windows: Open the Windows Control Panel Double click the Java control panel applet. Click the Security tab Click the “Edit Site List…†button. Click the “Add†button and enter the URL for your ISY-99i series controller. Click “OK†and close the Windows Control Panel†This should get you back up and running until you can upgrade to an ISY-994 and the newer firmware.

Sounds like the local on level has be set at the switch. From the manual: Local On-Level Default = 100% (fixed brightness) The local on-level is the brightness that SwitchLinc’s connected load will come on when turned on at SwitchLinc paddle Local on-level can be set to any one of 32 fixed brightness levels (3% to 100%) or “resume bright†(brightness prior to last being turned off) To set local on level to a fixed brightness level 1) Adjust SwitchLinc to desired brightness when controlled locally 2) Tap Set button SwitchLinc will beep 3) Test by turning SwitchLinc off and then back on (via the paddle) SwitchLinc will turn on to new local on-level To set local on level to the brightness level prior to being turned off 1) Turn SwitchLinc off 2) Tap Set button SwitchLinc will beep 3) Test: a. Brighten SwitchLinc to a random brightness level (e.g. 75%) b. Turn SwitchLinc off c. Turn SwitchLinc back on Light will turn on at the defined brightness level -Xathros

Another thing to note: The ISY will only send option changes to a device if the options are different than what the ISY believe are already in the module. Try a different combination of settings, save, then set the way you want and save again. See if there is any traffic generated during those operations. -Xathros

Sorry, I missed this one. There is a bit of programming involved depending on what you want to accomplish with the lock set. Nothing more complex than working with Insteon devices however. I have a few programs to secure my locks at night or when my occupancy timers expire and to write log entries when the locks are unsecured by access code or from the inside. This is one of my programs that gets called from my Secure Perimeter routine: If Status 'Basement / Basement Door Lockset' is Bolt Postion Unknown Or Status 'Basement / Basement Door Lockset' is Unlocked Then Set 'Basement / Basement Door Lockset' Secure Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') -Xathros

It is still in beta but I believe it can be purchased direct from UDI. Contact sales@universal-devices.com and I'm sure they will help get you started. -Xathros

Gotcha! Makes sense. I know some here are using Sonos for this. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

snowtech- Does it need to be iTunes? There is a command line utility called mplayer that would likely be much easier to operate via shell script than iTunes. -Xathros

Direct as long as you have the ZWave module. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you ran the delete PLM, you have wiped out the link records in the PLM. Do you have a backup from before the delete? If so, restore the backup then do a restore PLM. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My Schlage FE-599 lock sets report the following: Status: Locked, Unlocked, Bolt Position Unknown, Jammed, Responding, Battery Level (1-100%) Control: Access Code (1-30) Set: Query, Secure, Unsecure I don't think this lock set actually supports more than 16 user codes but the protocol seems to support up to 30. Setting Unsecure will unlock the lock set for a few seconds then relock it. I believe the Yale lock sets have a similar feature list but I have not tested any of those myself. -Xathros

You can use the optional network module on the 994's to send commands to the other 994 fairly easily. It wouldn't be too difficult to write programs on the house 994 to control and monitor devices on the remote 994. The Insteon devices on the remote side would NOT appear on the device tree on the house side but could be represented by variables on the house side. -Xathros

Is there any heat escaping around your door? Motion detectors see heat. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The ISY does not support usb connected dongles. There is an expansion connector inside the ISY to accept the ZWave daughter board. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Frank- The door locks are most certainly possible. Not so sure about the ADT keypad. I suspect that will be a problem. For the dongle, you need the "Z-Wave Assembly Kit" from UDI. Go here: http://www.universal-devices.com/sales/products/ and scroll down to accessories. -Xathros
