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. 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. 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.

Nope. It triggers at your times and anytime the state variable s.Vacation changes value. Once triggered the conditions are evaluated and either Then or Else is run. Remember, a state variable will trigger and if statement that refrences it when the value changes, and integer variable will NOT. That is why it was critical for s.Vacation to be a state variable. the "s." at the beginning is just a voluntary nameing convention that some of use use to identify a variable as a state type. I name my integer variables with "i." at the beginning. Makes debugging a bit easier down the road. Remember, the ISY is event driven. Its all about the triggers! Hope this helps. -Xathros

Well, you could include the variable test in your Ifs. That way when the state variable changes at 4:00, the ifs are triggered and evaluated. If ( On Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri Time is 3:45:00PM Or On Sun Time is 11:00:00AM ) and $s.Vacation = 0 Then Set 'Kitchen Thermostat-Main' 68° (Heat Setpoint) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') -Xathros

No. your new ZWave device should appear at the top of the tree as soon as the Linking window is disappears. -Xathros

62vetteefp- I think I see what you are trying to accomplish here. You can use the same state variable for your home folder that you use for your vacation folder simply testing for a 0 instead of a 1. Then create the following program to watch for your FastOn/FastOff commands at your switch: If Control '24.7A.16.1 outside driveway' is Switched Fast On and Control '24.7A.16.1 outside driveway' is not Switched Fast Off Then $s.Vacation = 1 Else $s.Vacation = 0 This program will set you to vacation mode with a fast on and to home mode with a fast off. Note the IS NOT in the second line of the If. It causes the ELSE clause to run when you issue the FastOff at the switch. Use: If $s.Vacation = 1 for your vacation folder condition and If $s.Vacation = 0 for your home folder. Hope this helps -Xathros

The scene must be setting the button Off when the KPL is the scene controller. I would look at the scene definition in the ISY and check the on level for the KPL button LED for the scene with the ISY as controller and the KPL as controller. I suspect you will find the On Level with the KPL as controller (KPL button selected on left) is set to 0 and with the ISY as controller (scene name selected on left) is set to 100. I don't believe it makes a difference what state the button is in when you set the toggle mode. -Xathros
