LeeG- My newest V43 KPLD behaves as the older KPLs behave in Non-Toggle On and Off modes. Unfortunately, the setup on my one and only V43 was done using "Replace with" after an older KPL died so I did not follow the OP's procedure for setting the Non-Toggle button modes. My gut says there is more to the story above and the KPL button may be in Non-Toggle Off rather than On mode. -Xathros

I did set up 8 or 10 custom behaviors to turn on / off lights, on/off tv, lock doors etc. They all worked but until I can send these commands from the local network, I have stopped using them. Right now it requires exposing the non secure http port of the ISY to the internet and sending your login credentials in the clear across the internet. I find this totally unacceptable. After posting a number of times on their site, I have found the lack of response from the developers there to be quite disappointing. Maybe I'm just spoiled by this community but it doesn't seem like the UBI folks are listening to their community at all. I am very interested in the technology and premise of the UBI and I will han on to mine for a while in the hops that they do improve the feature set and get their act together. -Xathros

If your cache was actually at 32Gb, it might take a minute or two for the empty cache process to deal with that. Not sure as I have never tried to clear that large a cache! If you can't get past that, download and install Onyx and run it's maintenance routines. It will clean up lots of things including the Java cache. http://www.titanium.free.fr/downloadonyx.php Hope this helps. -Xathros

In addition to what Lee said above, the solution to this problem is to move the then section to a separate program to avoid the wait interruption at sunrise. Your Current Program (Modified): If From Sunset - 30 minutes To Sunrise (next day) And ( Control 'M1-Sensor' is switched On Or Control 'M2-Sensor' is switched On Or Control 'M3-Sensor' is switched On ) Then Run Program 2 Then Path Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Program 2: If Then Set Scene 'Motion Response' On Wait 2 minutes Set Scene 'Motion Response' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') This will resolve the issue unless you are having comm problems with the lights. Run a few scene tests to see if you have reliable comms with these lights. -Xathros

Anytime. Happy to help. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No. I believe that the 3am query or any other large batch of Insteon traffic can cause the ISY to queue up other activities like network tasks until higher priority tasks are serviced. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Based on their names, that would be a good guess and I must admit that was my first impression as well. The actual difference is: A state variable will trigger an if statement when its value changes. An integer variable will not. Otherwise they are the same. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On the variables page, there are two tabs (integer and State) this variable needs to have been created on the State tab for a change in value to trigger a program. Integer variables do not trigger on value changes. The init is the initial value the variable will be given at power up or reboot of the ISY. Both Integer and State variables have both a value and an init value. -Xathros

I'm not sure. I find the documentation for these micro modules confusing at best. Without doing some specific testing, I can't say for sure. If I get some time this weekend, i'll try to do some testing. I have a spare micro module to play with so it shouldn't be a big deal. -Xathros

KMan- Thanks, Yes I just missed typing the $ prefix on the variables. 62vetteefp- You don't really need another folder - just a program: If $s.Vacation is 1 Then Set 'Kitchen Thermostat-Main' 60° (Heat Setpoint) Set 'Master Thermostat - Main' 60° (Heat Setpoint) Set 'Upstairs Thermostat - Main' 60° (Heat Setpoint) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') -Xathros

I think you may need to check the latching option if you want the light to remain on when the sensor turns back off. -Xathros

Hi 62vetteefp- Here is how I would do this: Define a State variable: s.Vacation and set it's value to 0 Then write a program to manage the variable: If Control '24.7A.16.1 outside driveway' is switched Fast Off and Control '24.7A.16.1 outside driveway' is not switched Fast On Then s.Vacation = 1 Else s.Vacation = 0 Then Change your Folder conditions to: If s.Vacation = 0 Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. Tapping the switch FastOff will put the house in vacation mode (s.Vacation = 1) and the programs in that folder will not run. Tapping the switch FastOn will take the house out of vacation mode (s.Vacation=0) and the programs will once again run. You can use the s.Vacation variable in other programs as necessary. Hope this helps. -Xathros

Hehe. Sooo many people here - with my aging memory, it gets hard to keep track. -Xathros

Well, that pretty much proves it then. It bugs me that these outfits are forcing us into their cloud to access a device on the LAN. Nest, Ubi Tag Manager, Nexia and much more I'm sure. These guys need to allow us local access for our integration and let us worry about security on the LAN side of things. -Xathros

Hmmm. That would lead me to believe that a cookie is NOT needed . Can you test poster from another machine where you have never logged into the tag manager from to verify? The cookie requirement was posted here last week by another user (larrylix maybe...) -Xathros

I don't know if it helps but, the folks at Remotecentral are saying that the codes are the same as the series 2 & 3 TiVos with the exception of the four added color buttons. They have the codes for those 4 buttons posted over there if you need them. -Xathros

Gary- I believe the Tag manager requires a cookie for authentication - not supported by ISY. Sorry. -Xathros

RDoc- Firmware 4.1.2 is the current and 4.1.3 should be out any day now. There is no need to reset the MS after replacing the battery. Which node did you query? I believe querying the LowBatt node is all that is needed to clear the flag. This does not actually query the battery level of the MS at the battery powered MS should be asleep and won't respond to a query - it just clears the LowBat flag on the ISY. -Xathros

Exactly. -Xathros

This could be done with a low power Linux computer like the RaspberryPi. That would, however, be another thing to learn too. I haven't tried to make mi Pi speak yet but it is on my list of things to do when I have some extra round to-its. -Xathros

Anytime. Happy to help. -Xathros

Hi Souixz1- The UDI Wiki is a very good resource. It can be found here: http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i_Series_INSTEON This has lots of good information on all aspects of the ISY, programming, Insteon and X10. These forums are also an amazing resource for both the beginner and seasoned ISY user. If you have a specific question, feel free to ask. There are many regulars here that will be happy to help. Welcome to the world of the ISY! -Xathros

First, are you sure you have that many links? You have to run the show/count links multiple times and receive the exact same result several times to be sure. Any Insteon traffic reaching the PLM during the show links process will reset the link pointer and throw off the count high or low. Best to do this at a time of day when nothing is happening on the Insteon network. Disable motion sensors by covering them if necessary. And if you have added and removed devices and scenes over time, a percentage of the links in the PLM may be deleted and could be compressed out with a restore PLM. -Xathros

I'm guessing that the ISY is configured for DHCP and was getting a different IP address than it had previously. You can either: A) Configure the ISY for static addressing and assign an IP address that is outside of your DHCP pool. Use your router to set a Static DHCP assigned address. C) Just check with your router to find the ISY's current IP address when you can no longer connect at the previous address. -Xathros

Jay M- If you look at the bottom of the UDI sales page, you will find the ISY994 available as an upgrade for $129.00 http://www.universal-devices.com/sales/products/ As stated above, if you have any of the addon modules (Pro, Networking, Climate etc.) they can be transferred to the new 994 at no extra charge. -Xathros
