Hi Gary- Java does not require anything special from the server. It is interpreted client side. So yes, it's fine. -Xathros

Gary- 8.3 means that your HTML file names cannot exceed 8 characters with a 3 character extenstion. Like the old DOS days: filename.ext index.htm - is a usable name index.html - is not mylongfilename.htm - is not my_index.htm - is usable. As for services offered by the ISY, its just a basic web server. No Perl, MySQL, PHP etc. Doesn't sound to me like that is an issue for you at this stage. -Xathros

Not sure exactly what you are asking for here. There are many programs available for building web pages. None specific for the ISY. The ISY with the network Module installed can function as a basic web server. All you need to do is build your html files and upload them to the web server. What tool you use to build the pages does not matter as long as the files meet the 8.3 naming convention and don't rely on any services not offered by the ISY's server. A Google search for "HTML Editor" or "Web Authoring Tools" will net lots of results. -Xathros

I use this all the time. If switch is On and I turn it On again, then run a program that turns on other lights in the vicinity. Same with Off if already Off. -Xathros

I saw this once right after the upgrade. First launch of the console did this. It's been fine ever since. Only on one Mac at home running OS X 10.7 / Java 1.7.15. 3 other Macs did not have this issue. -Xathros

I think this was already reported over the weekend and UDI is aware. -Xathros

FWIW, I am almost always connected via WiFi and NEVER have missing status info. I am on various MAC's. Most commonly my MB Air running OS X 10.8 connected to any one of the following: At Home: Airport Express N Airport Express G Airport Extreme N 5Ghz At work: Airport Extreme N 5 Ghz -> Thru VPN to Home Airport Express N -> Thru VPN to Home Mobile: Verizon MiFi G -> VPN to Home Every once in a while I do connect via 1Ghz wired ethernet and that works fine too. Are all of these status failures happening on Windows? -Xathros

This happens to me when I've added/changed a bunch of stuff in the ISY that Mobilinc is unaware of. Go into Mobilinc Settings / Lighting Controller / Tap to Sync with ISY / Update Only. Then try again. HTH -Xathros

... and how do duplicated control and status messages bouncing between all the dual band devices affect this as well? I know I am seeing duplicate messages with ever increasing frequency as I add more dual band devices, 3 of my 8 motion sensors now report twice each time they sense motion. I know they are only sending once but due to multiple routes back to the PLM likely on opposite phases, the message is received twice. -Xathros

Being that the ISY is an always on device, what would be the purpose in this? If you are just trying to trigger something in the ISY, the /rest interface allows for that by either setting variables, or calling programs. -Xathros

Excellent! And as always, Happy to help. Yes - sorta. https will do the trick assuming you have either enabled Internet access in the ISY or set up the proper port forwarding in your router but the IP address will need to be your external IP assigned by your ISP. Visit http://www.whatismyip.com to find your external IP address. It should also be available in your routers admin console if you know where to look. I wouldn't remove Java if you want to access the admin console since it is 100% dependent on the Java VM. -Xathros

Clear your java cache (All 3 check boxes!). Then try http:///admin/admin.jnlp Remember to substiture your ISY's IP address. You will want to save this file somewhere (Desktop or Applications folder) Double click the file you just downloaded. It will download the applet to cache and then you WILL get the "Cannot create shortcut" message. Click OK and the ISY finder and Console should come up. -Xathros

Very strange. Unable to create shortcut happends after the applet is downloaded to java cache and verified. It should just launch into the console after you click OK on that message. What URL are you using to access the console ? -Xathros

Here's a few answers: A) You currently must manually set up your user codes using the door lock itself Yes, you can detect which code was entered using programs, and therefore can do a variety of things based on that including logging (notifications), turning on lights, adjusting thermostat, arm/disarm Elk, etc. C) Not currently, but we will be adding more detailed support as we go along. D) For Schlage locks it actually "unsecures" the lock meaning someone still has to manually unlock it. For Yale, this will actually "throw the bolt" as they say, meaning the door will actually lock/unlock. E) Yes, but there would be no distinguishing whether the door is locked/unlocked manually from inside vs automatically, or by code, or by key outside, etc. If there is a way to detect this, then we would likely add this feature in a future build. Thanks Chris. Good answers. Could you clarify on answer E. If the ISY can detect the state change from Secured to Unsecured and there was no code entered, wouldn't that indicate manual lock operation? Thanks again. -Xathros

A Nexia/Zwave enabled lockset is required - the Nexia Home bridge and service is NOT I'm told. I don't know yet how much control the ISY will give me over the lockset. I can't wait to find out. Maybe Michel will chime in here. Can we: A) Manage User codes. Log which code was used when. C) Enable/Disable Vacation mode D) Lock/Unlock - This I'm pretty sure we can do. E) Log when the door is Locked/Unlocked manually by the inside lock knob. -Xathros

You need a lock that is Nexia enabled, but you DO NOT need the Nexia monthly service. Correct. The lockset they sent me was of the non-Nexia variety. Very pretty keypad but no radio From what I've seen online, I think they look the same except for the model# and the Nexia info on the box. I'll know better in a few days. I suspect someone at the warehouse just picked the wrong item. -Xathros

I'm running 3.3.8. So what is the issue? Thanks for your help! Unfortunately, no. You should however upgrade to 3.3.10 (The official release) but that I'm afraid is not the issue with the temp updates. So, now we are down to communication issues or link record issues. Is this stat on battery power or powered by the line somehow? Run an event viewer level 3 trace showing a few setpoint changes from the admin console as well as a few from the stat. If you can change the temp in the vicinity of the stat (Hair dryer, open garage door etc) and capture that traffic, I'm sure that would be helpful as well. Post the trace. -Xathros

jmed999- That other thread occurred before I became enlightened with the above knowledge otherwise I would have offered it back then! -Xathros

Well, my Schlage lockset arrived Sat morning and very soon after, I discovered they shipped the Non Nexia version. 3 more days till the right one arrives... -Xathros

Just in case- I ran into this over the weekend. Apple very nicely changed the default action for opening .jnlp files. For me, they wanted to open with my text editor. Cute. I always wondered what was in that file... Anyway, simply do a Get Info on the admin.jnlp file (Cmd-I) and change Open With to Java Webstart. Select change all. That should fix it. HTH -Xathros

hyounker, Michel- If after the support session, the DD-WRT router still appears to be at fault, try this: Log into the router, go to the Administration tab and make a backup of the router. Save the nvram.bin file where you can find it again in a few minutes. After the backup, also from the administration tab, reset the router to factory defaults. Power cycle the router. Log back into the router (default user/pass is either root/admin or admin/admin), go to Administration and restore your backup. Power cycle the router again and restest. -Xathros

Yes. Depending on the age of the 994, you may need an enclosure as well. Newer 994s have a knockout large enough for an RJ-45 Jack right next to Port A on the back. If your 994 does not have that knockout, you will need to replace the enclosure. The zwave dongle actually lives at the other end of a 10' cable that plugs into an RJ-45 at that knockout. (At least in the Alpha form.) -Xathros

I don't think I was having any trouble until 4.0.1. The console was staying accurate and my programs were executing properly for me until then. This is with a Venstar/Insteon Adapter. -Xathros

jmed999- 2 things. First, what firmware are you running on the ISY? If 4.0.1, the temp is not being updated in the ISY without a query. Mobilinc and the admin console are in agreement with each other. I suspect the temp has just not updated in the ISY. Second, why all those programs just to send the temp? You can send the temp in a customized email using variable substitution with: sys.node.AA BB CC 1.ST where AA BB CC is the address of your thermostat. Then just one program like: If Time is sunrise Then Send notification “Current Temp†Here is the string I use in an email customization: Current Temperature is ${sys.node.11 B2 7 1.ST} My Venstar address is: 11.B2.07 I had to drop the 0 from 07 to make it work. You can get status from any node in this way. Also some other useful stuff. See this section of the Wiki: http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i_Series_INSTEON:Custom_Email_Substitution_Variables -Xathros

No Problem and I have confirmed that when the IOLinc is queried via program the false trigger does NOT occur. -Xathros
