Xathros

No Problem. Always happy to help. Glad we got ya fixed up. -Xathros

What I do is access my isy via its ip address like this: http:///admin/admin.jnlp or via it DynDNS external address: https:///admin/admin.jnlp Obviously replacing the with its actual IP or the name with it's actual name. This downloads an admin.jnlp file. Double click this file and it will download the admin console, complain about not being able to create a shortcut (this seems to be a MAC&Java 7 issue) then launch into the console without the ISY Finder. Exit the console and place the admin.jnlp file on the dock just to the left of the trash and to the right of the dock divider. It won't place anywhere left of the dock divider since it's a file not an app. Clicking this will launch directly into the console from here on out till the next release at which point you dump the jnlp, clear the java cache and repeat the above procedure. Hope this helps. -Xathros

Yes. Ctrl x says Exit (This means hold down the Ctrl key and press x) You will see a question appear in the bottom section of the terminal. Y answers the question and says write Changes Return Accepts the existing filename and writes out the changes and completes the process. After that, you can quit the terminal and you are all set. -Xathros

place the cursor on the beginning of the line that reads: 127.0.0.1 localhost Press Return then move the cursor up to the new blank line and start typing your new data in. Press tab between 127.0.0.1 and your hostname. -Xathros

Well then this would seem to indicate a problem with the AT&T mms gateway. -Xathros

Can you change that to one of the locations in the list. Something that comes near your area and test again. -Xathros

bfish- What location do you have selected? Or do you have a custom location set? -Xathros

Are you on a Public or Private network in the Network Manager? Have you tried turning off the Windows Firewall to test? -Xathros

lake113- Password entry at the command line does not show anything as you type. So, when you get there, just type your admin password and press return. Idf correct, the nano editor will open, if wrong, it will say so. -Xathros

Michel- IIRC, He said he only had static text in the subject and body of the MMS notification and no errors showing in the error log. I haven't had a failure to send email/txt since 3.2.6. I also have been careful to ensure non blank subject and body fields. -Xathros

bfish- On the configuration tab, what do you have set for a time server? Have your tried time.nist.gov ? jme999- On the configuration tab, what do you have set for DNS server? Have you tried 4.2.2.2 or 8.8.8.8 ? -Xathros

RichTJ99- Pull the airgap switch on the downstairs keypad for 15 seconds then push it back in. Be careful not to push it beyond flush with the frame or you may factory reset the keypad. Test again. -Xathros

Hi Lake113- Setp 2 is telling you to edit the file /private/etc/hosts. That is done on the command line with the "nano" editor. After you get your hostname from step #1, type: sudo nano /private/etc/hosts You will be prompted for your MAC's admin password. (The same one for your user account likely) - enter that and pres Return That should look like: GNU nano 2.0.6 File: /private/etc/hosts ## # Host Database # # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface # when the system is booting. Do not change this entry. ## 127.0.0.1 localhost 255.255.255.255 broadcasthost ::1 localhost fe80::1%lo0 localhost Add a new line above 127.0.0.1 with your hostname: GNU nano 2.0.6 File: /private/etc/hosts ## # Host Database # # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface # when the system is booting. Do not change this entry. ## 127.0.0.1 Xathros-MacBook-Air 127.0.0.1 localhost 255.255.255.255 broadcasthost ::1 localhost fe80::1%lo0 localhost As I did above for my MBA - After that, type Ctrl-x Then y then Return That should do it for you.

Hi Brian- If one works and not the rest, I would suspect a connection problem between the strands. Try changing the order in which they are plugged in. There must be power getting to the outlet to light the first strand so the problem must be downstream from there. -Xathros

Upgraded to 3.3.4 without any issues. No problems accessing the admin console from any of my MAC's. -Xathros

I'm sorry but I'm out of ideas here. I do exactly the same thing you are trying to do with no problems at all other than delayed delivery sometimes. Its for that reason that I moved many of my notifications to Prowl notifications instead of TXT/MMS. -Xathros

I have a few programs that use a state variable to trigger the If section when there would otherwise be a blank if. If s.AutoTimers > 0 Then do whatever. This allows me to easily disable some/all of the auto stuff by changing the variable. Some programs require s.AutoTimers > 2 and some > 3. Since the mvar is a state var, anything using this in the if will trigger on changes. -Xathros

OK. Always a good idea not to post private info. What is the content of the subject and body fields? Is it identical to the TXT version? -Xathros

OK Nothing wrong in the program then. Can you post a screenshot of the MMS notification definition. Also, are there any errors showing up in your error log? -Xathros

Post the program that is supposed to send the notification. -Xathros

Mike- evaluates to blank means if you are using only variable in either the subject or body, the value of the variable returns a blank. If you have any static text in both fields, then this is not the problem. It may be an issue with the address to which you are sending or a problem with the SMTP server. Are you getting any errors in your log when you attempt to send these? I was having sporadic problems sending AT&T MMS messages from the ISY until I switched to a Gmail SMTP from my webhosts SMTP. -Xathros

It needs to be triggered to start. Either right click the program and select Run then or check the box to run at startup then reboot. -Xathros

zeenon- Thanks! I believe you can report the current temp, mode and humidity (optional) from the Venstar in a notification. You just can't assign those values to variables yet. Going from memory on that. If I'm wrong someone more knowledgeable will correct me. As for the AutoOff counts, I have an array of integer variables and counter programs that watch for control switched On events (On Counts) and my timer programs increment the AutoOff variables if they get to timeout before someone (usually me) turns a device off. The header image is hosted on my webhost so it loads no matter if I'm on my LAN or not. The link at the bottom to my logs points to a pogoplug running linux on my LAN and will not work unless I'm at home or VPN'd back to my network. Climate data is via the weatherbug module and the station is at our local high school. This is still a work in progress. -Xathros

Wow. I read that 3 times and never caught that. -X

Steve, Brian- I think there is a device called the RedEye which can learn IR commands from an existing remote and be commanded to send said commands via a network call. I have been thinking about picking one of these up for control of my non-networked A/V gear. Also allows use of iDevices and Android devices as remotes I believe. This of course would require the network module for the ISY and offers NO feedback to the ISY as to the current status of the end device. -Xathros Edit: Here is a link: http://thinkflood.com/products/redeye/
