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

Hi creeble- You will need to ad an exception for the ISY to your Java control panel. the 99i can only be upgraded as far as 3.3.10. 3.3.10 still does not include the necessary information that the new Java is looking for and will continue to require and exception be in place. Here is the info for adding an exception: 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.

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. UDI is currently running an upgrade special for owners of the 99i. For $99 you can replace the 99i with the current 994 model and transfer any purchased modules that you have on your 99i. You should seriously consider upgrading to the 994 as already, some newer Insteon modules are not supported on the 99i. Hope this helps. -Xathros

I suspect an issue with Firewall and/or Antivirus. Likely an update applied a few weeks ago changed something. Try temporarily disabling your AV/Firewall and see if the problem is resolved. If so, you will need to add an exception for the ISY to your software. -Xathros

A 4 (or more) way is identical to the 3 way in wiring. You are simply linking additional controllers. -Xathros

In the settings icon (crossed tools) under Lighting Controller, tap to resync with ISY - select UPDATE ONLY -Xathros

Set a static ip for the ISY and use 8.8.8.8 for DNS. Then try again. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think if you look at the whole network at the top of the tree, you can sort the list by the Insteon address and it will group the buttons that way. I believe they will be listed in A-H order. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No worries. Your always welcome to jump in. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Glad you got it sorted out. As always, happy to help. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Exactly what Lee said! -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Change And to Or. Your program says If time is 9:30 AND the value of s.Vacation is 0 So lets say at 9pm the variable changes from 1 to 0, the program triggers and the if is evaluated and runs false (Else) since the time is NOT 9:30 Change the and to an OR - the program will trigger and run true at 9:30 or anytime the value of s.Vacation becomes 0 Make sense? Now, that question makes me think that you have multiple programs for different times of day that might all trigger at once if coded this way. If so, you might think of coding a time range instead: If Time is From 5:00pm to 9:30pm (same day) AND s.Vacation = 0 Notice, I used AND instead of OR here - because of the range rather than a specific time. This will run true at 5:00 as long as s.Vacation is 0 and anytime between 5 -9:30 when s.Vacation becomes 0 -Xathros EDIT: If you need further assistance tonight, make sure to quote my post or mention @Xathros in your reply so I get notified by my phone otherwise, I won't see anything here till tomorrow morning.
