No. I ended up running a Pogoplug with Archlinux to capture logs among other things. -Xathros

Purchased! Thanks for the link. Dunno yet exactly where I'll use this yet but I'll find it a good job. -X

ELA- Sounds like a fun project. Interfacing to the Arduino via EzFlora sounds a bit clunky to me though. I was under the impression that only one EzFlora zone/output could be active at a time. This seems very limiting for what you are attempting especially if you are trying to activate a sprinkler zone and confirm that it's been done via audio output using the same EzFlora. Isn't there an ethernet shield for the arduino? Couldn't you communicate with that via network resources instead and have an unlimited number of commands/voices avaialble ? If not, have you looked at the CAI Web Control board? it has 16 bits of IO (8 in 8 out) and an insanely easy CGI web interface. You could get 255 combinations out of that. Another option is a PogoPlug running ArchLinux to do the audio playback. This requires a USB autio interface for the PogoPlug however. These are very easily addresses via network resources but will require some coding to build the CGI interface. -Xathros

ergodic- Could you clarify if you mean "Low Voltage" or "Line Voltage" by LV ? Thanks. -Xathros

LeeG- Very nice explanation. Thank you. -Xathros

LeeG- Isn't FW 3.3.3 REQUIRED for linking I2CS Devices ? Or at least 3.3.1 but preferably the latest? -Xathros

I wonder if you were sending a message with either a blank subject or body. Either of those conditions have been known to cause trouble. -Xathros

The Auth failure is on send to the SMTP server. Did you enter the Gmail account info for SMTP ? -Xathros

I know early on Java 7 had some major issues. AFAIK, they are resolved and Java 7 is now useable. The ISY firmware actually requires Java 7 for HTTPS support within the admin console and dashboard. -Xathros

Nope. Just send a message to support with the UUID of your old ISY and the UUID of the new one and ask them to transfer the activation over. No additional charge. -Xathros

Tie in in what way? What is the end goal? -Xathros

Upgraded with no issues. MaxRainRate WB mvar is now populated properly. Both of my IOLinc Sensors are now working properly. IOLinc Options display correctly after a change. -Xathros

Understood. Thank you. -Xathros

Thanks Michel- Looks like an issue with TBird on the formatting. I have been able to sort of correct it be reselecting the character encoding for each received message. It seems to be ignoring the global setting for that. As for subscribing, I think that is beyond my current skill set tho I do plan to dig deeper into that as time goes on. I was trying to work with the simple solution of outputting the data in a csv format via email daily. I see we can test these values with programs but we can't yet assign them to mvars. I suspect once we can assign these values to mvars, I'll have a simple workaround to convert these strings into numeric values. -Xathros

I have a few issues with the WB data variables. Here are some visual aids: This first image is the current data from the admin console. The second is the result of a custom email from the ISY as seen on my iPhone and the third is the same message as displayed in Thunderbird. My issues are: 1) The degree symbol is not formatting correctly in Thinderbird but it does on the iPhone. Is the ISY not specifying the proper character encoding in the email ? 2) Is there a way to eliminate the non numeric data returned for the numeric fields (Temps, Windspeeds, humidity, pressures etc). I would like to log and chart this data along with other environmental data from inside the home but currently I cannot treat this as numeric data. Its easy enough to add the mph or Inches/Hr fluff in the notification if desired. 3) (Already discussed elsewhere-included for completeness) Max rain today returns blank. - Just noticed it is NOT in the current WB data set from the admin console yet it WAS there yesterday. Same WB station. Do WB data points usually come and go without reason ? Thanks. -Xathros

On that train of thought, is there or will there be access to forecast data rather than just current conditions? Thanks. -Xathros

Thank you! -Xathros.

Man i must be losing it. Illusion just pointed out that my sig was showing Mac OS 10.6 earlier today i went and fixed that. Didn't even check the FW version i had listed there. Off to fix that now... Thanks! -Xathros

Sorry I didn't include that in the last post. I'm on 3.3.2 until the next beta is released. Thanks. -Xathros

Hello- I just added the weatherbug module to my ISY994 this afternoon. In playing with the data now available, I have found that the ${mod.weather.rain.ratemax} variable is not working. I see valid data for this value (0.04"/hr) on the Climate tab but when used in a customized notification, nothing is returned - not even a 0. Bug Y/n ? -Xathros

What version of the ISY firmware are you running and what version of Java do you have ? -Xathros

Here are the details from one of my prowlapp resources: I notice that I don't have the authentication header on this one but it still works anyway. Protocol: Https Method: post Host: api.prowlapp.com Port: 443 Path: /publicapi/add Encode Url Checked Mode: C Escaped Timeout: 4000 Body: apikey=&application=ISY994i-Pro&event=Home Mode Set&description=The system is now running in HOME mode.&priority=0\n Hope this helps. -Xathros

A KPL 6 is 5 Nodes as the big On and Off buttons are one node together functioning like the paddle on a switchlinc or toggleinc. The other 4 buttons are nodes of their own. A KPL8 is 8 nodes. I agree there a some places that the documentation could be improved especially for the newcomer but if you were to download all of the available documentation or read through the WiKi it is all covered in excellent detail thanks to the folks at UDI and the members of this community. I've been at this for over 3 years now and I'm still finding things I didn't know about the ISY and its inner workings regularly. This is a friendly place. Don't be afraid to ask if you can't find the info you need. -Xathros

Many Insteon devices are a single node (Switchlinc dimmer/relay, Togglinc Dimmer/relay, inlinelinc dimmer/relay, Outletlinc, bulblinc etc). Some are Multiple nodes (Motion Detector=3, Thermostat=4, IOLinc=2, KPL=5 or . Access points and couplers don't add to the count as they are not addressable and don't appear in the network tree. Each node is a device in the network tree. As far as I know, a scene is just 1 node regardless of how many nodes/devices it contains. I believe all Michel was stating above was that 60 devices was not a problem unless all 60 were KPL's making the count potentially 480 nodes which exceeds the non-pro limit. The upgrade to pro, should you need it, is a simple module purchase transaction (no hardware required). -Xathros

saidmacias- Workin like a charm! I haven't seen any changes recently. I have even implemented alert priorities so now only VERY important alerts make noise while I'm sleeping. HTTP 401 is an authorization error. Double check your user/pass for prowlapp.com, change if necessary. Verify your API key and make sure you have included the authorization header in your network resource. -Xathros
