I am afraid not. The ISY knows nothing about video at all. You might be able to do some control of the device from the ISY network module if the device has some kind of network accessible user interface but that would be about it. -Xathros

Hi pauliep- I'd be happy to. What kind of cams do you have and do you have the ISY network module installed? Here is the overview: In my Foscam PTZ cams, I have created between 3 and 6 saved positions per cam. Then in the ISY network modue, I have created a resource for each of those saved positions and named then appropriately (Garage cam to Dad's Door, Garage Cam to Mom's door etc.) Then with some simple programs, I can point the cams based on other events: Program: If Control 'Garage / Garage Door IOLinks / GD- Dad Garage Door Sensor' is Switched On Then Resource 'Syslog-SECRTY - Dad Garage Door Opened' Resource 'CAM-CRTL: GarageCam-Dads Door' Wait 1 minute Resource 'CAM-CRTL: GarageCam-Inside Door' Else I also have a few programs set up for my utility room cam to cycle through 6 positions. I have made one of these programs a favorite and associated it with my Utility Cam. This makes it easy to loop through the 6 positions by tapping the program favorite while watching the cam. These could be implemented for each cam but I haven't bothered to do this for my other cams yet. Program: Utility Cam Cycle (This is the Mobilinc fav) If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then $s.UtilityCamPosition += 1 $s.UtilityCamPosition Init To $s.UtilityCamPosition Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Program: UtilityCamPos1 If $s.UtilityCamPosition is 1 Then Resource 'CAM-CRTL: BasementCamPosition1 - Stairs' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') . . . Program UtilityCamPos5 If $s.UtilityCamPosition is 5 Then Resource 'CAM-CRTL: BasementCamPosition5 - Network Shelf' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Program UtilityCamReset If $s.UtilityCamPosition is 6 Then $s.UtilityCamPosition = 1 $s.UtilityCamPosition Init To $s.UtilityCamPosition Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') The $s.UtilityCamPosition mvar is a state variable. -Xathros

I think it would be easier to use the network module in the ISY to tell the PC to play a sound. I think there are a few threads on here where something very similar has been done. -Xathros

Or Mobilinc Connect. -Xathros

Like oberkc, I skipped answering this one as I am not familiar with the whole scope of the question. I do use a Harmony One so here is what I can offer: While the Harmony remotes *can* learn from other remotes, I don't think the ISY comes with a remote that you can train the harmony with. I could be wrong, I don't have the IR version of the ISY. I do remember a thread a while back where someone mentioned that the Harmony Programming Web Interface had a more functional profile for an ISY99i rather than the ISY994I (going from an aging memory here so It might be the other way around). You might try adding a ISY-99i instead and see if that populates with IR commands. I believe the IR section is identical in the 99 series and the 994 series ISYs. Another somewhat vague memory is that the ISY IR responds to Phillips Pronto codes. -Xathros

If the problem was the ISY, then it would affect all of the system that you use to access it. This is something local to that system/XP install. Besides, all of the UI is in code that lives external to the ISY so reinstalling the ISY would not change anything there. Not sure where to go from here. Are your video card drivers up to date? Maybe start the XP machine in "Safe Mode with Networking" and test. See if the problem goes away. If so, there is likely a driver or software conflict. -Xathros

Yes. I would think so. I have not played with subscriptions yet. Time for someone else to step in and pick this up from here. -Xathros

If the admin console is the only place you see this happen, then I suspect a broken Java install. Completely remove Java, restart the machine and reinstall Java from a fresh download of the current version. -Xathros

There is no "Scene Status" in the Insteon world so for status checking, you need to look directly to the devices. -Xathros

In both cases you are issuing direct commands to the microlinc. You need to address the scene that contains both the microlinc and KPL button via /Rest and the Console to get the results you desire. Use /rest/nodes/scenes to retrieve a scene list. Use the scene id in /rest/nodes//cmd/ -Xathros

Hi Chasewood- Try Changing the Windows Theme to Windows Default and see if that fixes the display issue. -Xathros

That looks correct to me. What firmware version is the KPL? -Xathros

Alan- For what it's worth, I have the same problem with iOS on my iPhone. I have tracked the problem down to DHCP. I pull into the driveway and my phone sees my WiFi and starts to connect. Once it starts to connect but before it has received an IP address from my DHCP server, all network requests favor the WiFi over 4G. Mobilinc does not get to send the request until my phone has received an IP which can take up to 15 seconds sometimes. Once the connection if fully established, the request is sent and the door opens. If I pull into the driveway and park, bring up a browser and wait for a page to load, then ask Mobilinc to open the door, it is almost instant. If I have the WiFi turned off forcing it to use 4G, there is about a 2 second delay before the door responds. -Xathros

The IOLinc manual on the Smarthome sales page covers the various IOLinc options and their functions in reasonable detail. Anything questions beyond that can readily be answered here I'm sure. -Xathros

I don't have a KPL Timer and as a result, I don't know much about how it operates. Can you address the timer functionality separately from the On/Off functionality? If so, remove the timer from the scene and replace with the On/Off button. -Xathros

LeeG- Consider it a small bit of compensation for the wealth of knowledge I have gained from you. -Xath

Include both the KPL Timer button and the KPL button that you want to use as controllers of the scene. -Xathros

See these examples taken from my 4.0.5 Admin console: The check box in the lower right enables/disables the lines. These are to help you visualize nested paren sections. I normally keep them off but have found the useful on a few occasions. -Xathros

dk1- Another thing to be aware of is that some older Insteon devices require a power cycle (airgap) before such changes take effect and as a result, are not friendly to scheduled changes. -Xathros

timster- Restoring a backup would bring you right back to where you were before removing the KPL. The idea is to remove and re-add the KPL so the ISY can acquire the correct device info and build a new set of link records for the device replacing the ones that are there currently. If you have a spare KPL, you could add that with a temporary name and use the "replace with" feature to replace the one your having an issue with. then remove the problem KPL, add it back and replace with again to swap everything back to that KPL. -Xathros

There sure is. Once you have linked the IOLinc to the ISY, you will be able to set it's options through the ISY Admin console. -Xathros

timster- You could always create another scene containing only the D button as a responder and a program that says: If Control KPL-D switched On Then Set Scene KPL-D Off Else -Xathros

Desktop is fine. The Manual Upgrade process will allow you to point to the firmware file wherever you put it. -Xathros

Yep. DO NOT unzip the download. The ISY expects it as a zip file. -Xathros

paauto- You can downgrade the 994 to 3.3.10, restore your 3.3.10 backup from the 99i then upgrade to 4.0.5 after. -Xathros
