Are you using the Trigger Reverse option on the IOLincs? If so, the 3am query (or any other query of these devices) will change what the ISY sees as the sensor status and possibly trigger programs/scenes based on the change in status. -Xathros

Just got my notice that my Ubi has shipped! I'll be playing with this in a few days I hope. -Xathros

Hi guedesluz- Not necessarily. Many routers support Dynamic DNS. What do you have for a router? Check in it's web interface to see what it supports for DDNS services. Some are free (no-ip.com for instance) some others are paid services. If your router does not support DDNS or does not support a free one, you would have to have a computer manage this and in that case, you would want it always on. You could also consider running a low power computer like a RaspberryPi to do that among other things. -Xathros

And - very important - the device to be replaced CANNOT be inside a folder. -Xathros

We are talking UBI not UBE here. Ubi is an android based, voice controlled, wall powered digital assistant:http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/607691307/ubi-the-ubiquitous-computer-voice-activated-and-al-0 UBE is a light switch: For what its worth, I believe UBI is planning on supporting UBE. -Xathros

Hi Will- Just omit the leading 0. Bedroom 3 .....${sys.node.24 8 D7 1.ST} -Xathros

Anytime! Happy to help. That is a long thread but certainly some fun stuff to play with there. -Xathros

Anytime! Happy to help. -Xathros

Hi Les- Tools / Diagnostics / Event Viewer: -Xathros

Here ya go: http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=9854&hilit=proximity -Xathros

Right click the program name in the tree and select "Copy to Clipboard" from the bottom of the menu then paste into a code block on the forum. -Xathros

Hi Les- Les make sure there is no Insteon happening here at all. Open the event viewer and set it at level 3. Operate the offending switch until the problem occurs then post the relevant section of the event trace along with the address of the affected insteon switch. -Xathros

Exactly - no effect on the operation of the actual program. This is one reason that we ask that people copy and paste the actual program into a code block rather then re type them into the forum. I will often type out an example here when I don't have an existing program that is suitable for the example. On occasion I have posted errors that the ISY would have prevented had I built the example program in the console instead. -Xathros

Hi Matt- I have my occupancy routine watch a number of things: 1) A program that includes many "If Control XXX switched On or Control XXX switched Off" statements (This includes switches, motion sensors, door sensors) 2) I have routines that watch my router for the MAC addresses of our phones. If connected then someone is home. Anytime an occupancy event above occurs, I restart a 15 minute countdown. If the timer expires, the house goes to "Sleep", camera record on motion is enabled, pellet stove is shut down, thermostat is set back, doors are locked, garage doors are closed if they were open. -Xathros

Typo here is not possible as the programs in the Run Program statement are chosen from a pick list of existing programs - not freely entered. Also the name is meaningless as all programs are referenced by program ID# under the hood. If you change a program name after it has been referenced elsewhere, all references will update to show the new name automagicly. -Xathros

For what its worth, I have a new v43 KPLD8 that DOES NOT exhibit this behavior. I have 3 buttons configured as Non-toggle Off (B,G & H) and when pressed they blink twice and go off. This replaced an older KPLD8 that died and was put in place with the replace function. Not sure if that should have any bearing on the situation. -Xathros

Same here. I always use the screw terminals and always loop the conductor around the screw in the direction that the screw tightens. -Xathros

Why would this cause any issues for a UPS? Or, did you mean to say PLM here? -Xathros

Les- I'm not sure you need to replace any switches. Simply check the wiring at the non-insteon 3way switch location that is presenting the problem. You may have a bad connection in a wire nut at that location. -Xathros

OK, based on that feedback, now I'm thinking that the power feed to the toggleinc is fed through the box with that 3 way switch and there is a bad connection in that box. The act of flipping that switch is wiggling the connections and momentarily dropping power to the togglinc. -Xathros

ABLE1- My Guess is the CFL's on the 4 way circuit are putting a spike or nasty noise on the line that is causing the Insteon switch to act up. Try swapping the CFL's on the 4 way for incandescent and test. I bet the problem goes away. Michel- Per the OP, the 4 way circuit is Non-Insteon. Therefore no orphaned/half links are possible there. -Xathros

Hi Will- As apostolakisl stated, you don't need the network module for the ISY with the newer revs of the CAI board. I am using DS1822's for the sensors (functionally the same I believe). I soldered the sensor to the end of some CAT3 wire and taped it to the outside of a 3/4 copper line exiting my hot water tank then covered the line with some 3/4 ID foam pipe insulation. These sensors appear to max out at 185F which is about 20F above what I needed in this application. I'm not sure if that will satisfy your needs or not. I believe the CAI board supports up to 8 of these sensors. I'm currently using 4. There are also, 8 digital outputs, 8 digital inputs, a few analog inputs and support for a single humidity sensor. All in all a very inexpensive and very capable little board. It makes an excellent addition to the ISY. I'm down in the Brattleboro area. -Xathros

Hi ELA- Thank you for verifying my suspicion. While it makes sense that a PLM "could" function for RF with no AC reference, I don't see SmartHome putting that much engineering into their products. I would guess that they are using the 60Hz line as the clock for both the power line and RF side of things. I do remember a few users having the PLM on the Battery side of a UPS and bridging via RF. I'll poke around and see if I can search out some of those older posts. -Xathros

Hi WillyWonker- The easiest way would be with a CAI Webcontrol board and a few one wire temp sensors. I do this with the output side of my hot water tank. The Web Control board can be configured to post data directly to ISY state variables and your ISY programs can take action based on those values. -Xathros

When adding the motion sensor, did you open up the sensor and press the set button to wake up the sensor and put it in linking mode? Likewise, did you press the set button on the dual band switch after selecting start linking? -Xathros
