LeeG- Slightly off topic here but, do you know if the Simplehomenet utility will work with the 2413U PLM ? My only windows runs in a VM on a MAC so USB is my only option. I would like to get myself setup with a few more advanced tools for mucking with the insteon settings that the ISY doesn't manipulate directly. Aside from the cost of the USB PLM, the SHN utility fits my budget. -Xathros

FWIW: The smarthome is just a rebranded Foscam and my experience with these is the same as oberkc's. Mine are pan/tilt and I find that function to work smoother/quieter/better than my old Trendnet PTZ cam. -Xathros

Hi Tim- I just retested and it is still working for me on FW 3.3.2. Out of 5 tests, I had one fail (timeout) which I chalk up to my crappy internet connection. -Xathros

Happy to help. -Xathros.

Lloyd- You are correct. I'm assuming your flag variable is a state variable. State vars can trigger an if and restart a wait but it has to change value for it to trigger. Simply re-setting the same value won't cause the program to re-trigger. You could test for s.Var > 0 in your second program and in your first program say s.Var =+1 on motion. This would give the added advantage of knowing if someone was sticking around (higher value) or just passing through (low value) kinda... -Xathros

Not sure what platform you are on but "wget" may be the answer for CLI usage. -Xathros

The console clock is working just fine for me. I DO sync with NTP and get occasional sync failures but usually the following sync will usually work. Clock doesn't seem to drift more that 1-2 seconds out of sync over a 2 day period. I have The following modules installed: Network Resources, Pro Upgrade A10/X10 Module. -Xathros

If you use Firefox and show the web developer console while you submit the form to enable/disable the email, you will see the message content for the network resource. I just created 2 resources today for one of those cams to enable/disable ftp on motion detected. Almost exactly what you want. Protocol: HTTP Method: GET Host: ip or hostname of cam Port: 80 Path: /set_alarm.cgi?next_url=alarm.htm&motion_armed=1&input_armed=1&motion_sensitivity=3&motion_compensation=0&iolinkage=0&mail=0&upload_interval=2&ioin_level=1&ioout_level=1&schedule_enable=0&schedule_sun_0=0&schedule_sun_1=0&schedule_sun_2=0&schedule_mon_0=0&schedule_mon_1=0&schedule_mon_2=0&schedule_tue_0=0&schedule_tue_1=0&schedule_tue_2=0&schedule_wed_0=0&schedule_wed_1=0&schedule_wed_2=0&schedule_thu_0=0&schedule_thu_1=0&schedule_thu_2=0&schedule_fri_0=0&schedule_fri_1=0&schedule_fri_2=0&schedule_sat_0=0&schedule_sat_1=0&schedule_sat_2=0 Don't forget to add Authorization header and fill in the user/pass for the cam. I am using "motion_armed=1/0" to enable/disable. You will want to change "mail=0" to "mail=1" -Xathros

The double messages from my motion sensors appears to be resolved in this release. -Xathros

Upgraded this morning from 3.3.1 to 3.3.2 without issue. -Xathros

Very strange. I just looked at the online manual for those units and it still has the procedure for enable/disable load sensing right on page 10! I have 6-8 older Lamplinc dimmer units that I am no longer using if your interested in some lightly (no pun intended) used units. -Xathros

LeeG- If I read this thread correctly, this has nothing to do with the ISY yet. It sounds to me like these modules just are not load sensing. Blueman2- Does the lamplinc respond as described during the Enable sensing procedure? Specifically the response to step #2 ? Enable Load Sensing 1) Press & hold the Set button on LampLinc until it beeps (3 seconds) The LampLinc Status LED will begin blinking green 2) Triple-tap the Set button on LampLinc LampLinc will beep and its Status LED will stop blinking and turn on solid green if the load is on or solid red if it is off 3) Test that Load Sensing has been enabled by turning the load on and off from its built-in switch The load will turn on and off -Xathros

Haha! Knew it! See the edit in my previous post. Thanks. -X

I think I may have found a small issue in 3.3.1. I have 4 2842-222 motion sensors (actually whatever the old number was but the console reports them as the new #) in my setup and since the upgrade, any program that responds to motion is responding twice within one second. Here is an event viewer trace from one such event: Fri 09/14/2012 03:27:15 PM : [ 11 A7 89 1] DON 1 Fri 09/14/2012 03:27:15 PM : [ 11 A7 89 1] ST 255 Fri 09/14/2012 03:27:16 PM : [ 11 A7 89 1] DON 0 Here is the program that responded: If Control 'Basement / Utility Room / Basement Motion-Sensor' is switched On Then $i.cnt.BasementMotion += 1 Resource 'Syslog-MOTION - Basement' Run Program 'Occupancy' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Here is the result from my Syslog Network resource: Sep 14 15:27:09 192.168.2.20 ISY994i - MOTION - Basement. Sep 14 15:27:09 192.168.2.20 ISY994i - MOTION - Basement. I have a Triggerlinc that only reports once so it doesn't seem to be battery device specific. Only the motion sensors and only since 3.3.1 upgrade. If I run the Then path of this program (or any of the other motion activated programs) manually, I only get one log entry. For the moment, I have solved the doubling by adding a 1 second wait at the front of the then path on my log and count programs. For programs that activate lights based on motion I don't want to introduce any additional response delays so I am just living with the extra traffic from the double responses. -Xathros EDIT: Because LeeG will most likely ask for it, here is a level 3 trace of another such event: Fri 09/14/2012 04:01:06 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 11.A7.ED 00.00.01 C7 11 01 LTONRR (01) Fri 09/14/2012 04:01:06 PM : [standard-Group][11.A7.ED-->Group=1] Max Hops=3, Hops Left=1 Fri 09/14/2012 04:01:06 PM : [ 11 A7 ED 1] DON 1 Fri 09/14/2012 04:01:06 PM : [ 11 A7 ED 1] ST 255 Fri 09/14/2012 04:01:06 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 11.A7.ED 00.00.01 C7 11 01 LTONRR (01) Fri 09/14/2012 04:01:06 PM : [standard-Group][11.A7.ED-->Group=1] Max Hops=3, Hops Left=1 Fri 09/14/2012 04:01:06 PM : [iNST-DUP ] Previous message ignored.

Funny! This JUST happened to me about 5 minutes ago. In my case there is no Elk involved. I have added my ISY to this workstation both by private IP and by https//dyndns_name. I suspect that when my VPN drops the console falls back to the dyndns name rather than the IP. I do need to re-authenticate to the ISY when this happens and that is usually my indicator that the VPN dropped when the ISY USER/PASS dialog pop up. -Xathros

Hi Steve- As long as the data is Integer, you can /REST it to a var then use that var in a custom notification. No String type vars yet. If there are a limited number of possible string values, you could create separate customized notifications for each then pass an integer index to select a notification. -Xathros

FWIW: The Remotelinc 2 has an internal LiOn battery that charges via a micro USB connection on the bottom. A single charge should last nearly a year. Batteries are really not an issue with these. -Xathros

I would like to say Thank You! for the HTML support in notifications. My daily reports look much nicer and are far easier to read now! -Xathros

I haven't laid it all out yet but I don't think a var would be required. Your using button status for 1 & 2 for that purpose. Actually thinking about it more, you don't even need an 8 button KPL. A 6 would do. Button 1 off - Ezflora1, Button 1 On - EzFora2. 2 folders- one for EZF #1 Progs, One for EZF #2 Progs. Folder conditions that monitor the KPL/RL Button A If Status KPL/RL Button A is On (For EZF Folder #1) and If Ststus KPL/RL Button A is Off (For EZF Folder #2) Make KPL/RL button B shut off all EZF zones across both EZF devices. Within each folder, create a program for each zone. If Status KPL/RL Button3 is On then Set EzFlora1 Zone 1 On else set EzFlora1 Zone 1 off Repeat that editing for each button/zone combo for EZF1 Copy them to the EZF2 folder and edit to make them talk to EZF2 -Xathros

Nope. One 8 button remote or KPL should do. Buttons 1 and 2 to select which EZ-Flora to operate then 3-8 are available for zone on/off. Requires programming but hey, thats the fun part right ? -Xathros

Well then with any luck this is a bug and it will work somewhere down the road. Thanks. -Xathros

I was unsure when I coded my beeps so I addressed the primary node as it made no difference to me for a beep. I had hoped the scene beep would not care but it seems it does. Are you saying it doesn't work even when addressing the primary node ? I didn't test that. -Xathros

Thanks Lee. I'll have to continue to beep via direct command rather than scene for those I guess. WhiteSax: My beepers are enabled and working via button press or direct program command. I was just trying to simplify and reduce traffic but in this case I can't since my scenes don't include the primary buttons. -Xathros

Or when running FW 3.3.1, accessing via HTTPS and your Java version is less than 1.7 -Xathros

Tanks Lee and Michel. Good to know. I don't think my assumption has had any effect on my configuration but I like to know exactly what to expect. -Xathros
