No problem, I'm happy to help. First, in Mobilinc, when you touch a program, it opens up a sheet with several sections: Prog Ststus, Prog Commands and Porg Options. The Commands section is where the "Run Then" or your customized equivalent will be. So if you select your "All white" program, scroll down to the commands section and touch "Run Then" that should set the $lightCycle to 7 and start the toggle routine in motion. 1)The folder needs no conditions unles you want to enable/disable the whole batch of programs manually or by a condition. Just leave the folder if/then/else all blank for now. 2) Make sure $lightCycle is a STATE variable (Defined on the "State" tab rather than the "Integer" tab). It still functions as an integer variable but if its defined as a state variable it can trigger events in other programs. The majority of the programs have nothing in the IF caluse and in the THEN clause say " Set lightcycle to " where is a number greater than 0. When one of these is "Run Then", the value of $lightCycle changes from 0 to the programmed value and at that point the toggle program is triggered because the value of the state variable changed. If you didn't define $lightCycle as a state variable then the toggle program would never trigger. EDIT: You can watch the state variable tab in the admin console when you select the Run Then on any the the "Show Select" programs and see the value get set then count down if things are working correctly. -Xathros

You would use the "Run Then" option for each program in Mobilinc. if you want to simplify the display, you can go into the advanced settings for each program in Mobilinc and remove the text from the name of each of the un-needed options leaving only the Run Then - Customized if you like. That way when you select the program from your Mobilinc favorites, you don't have to scroll thru the unnecessary stuff. -X

Craig- 1) Mobilinc allows access to programs I have a few on my favorites page so those could be your buttons. 2) For your 14 different styles, create 14 programs that each set a STATE variable to the appropriate number of on/off cycles (7 for white. 8-1 as you will see in the following program we need to leave them on after the 7th cycle). Then a 15th program to loop on the state var count as follows. -- Program1 -- Simply turns the lights on (1 cycle) -- if then set scene poolLighs On else -- Program 2 thru 14 -- To set the state var $lightCycle for cycle counts 2 - 14 -- 8 - white shown -- if then $lightCycle=7 else -- Program 15 -- To Process the cycle count and toggle on/off the light circuit-- if $lightcycle > 0 then set scene poolLighs On wait 1 set scene poolLights Off wait 1 $lightcycle =- 1 else set scene poolLights On I am assuming that decrementing the cyclecounter will re-trigger prog 15 when the value changes. If this does not work like that, you can move the then portion of 15 into prog 16's then and simply call 16 then from the 15 then - hope that makes sense. Pretty sure this will do what you want and you could put "if Control KPL-X is switched on" conditions in some of the number set progs to tie them to keypad buttons as well if you wanted. Hope this helps and if im too far off base - I'm sure someone with more knowledge will post a better way. -Xathros

Michel- Thanks for the info. I tried changing the SMTP from my Webhost to Gmail and it appears to be working at the moment. Both Subject and body contain static text along with variabls so a null value is not the issue. No -1100xx errors as you saw from the log I posted. Since it's working with Gmail, I'll have to assume my webhost is dumping the messages rather than delivering them. Thanks for your help and thanks for all the great improvments you and your team have made to the ISY!. -Xathros.

Hi Michel- The following is all of today's error log. I have been doing alot of testing on this today and haven't yet been able to pin down when it works vs when it doesn't beyond it never works with more than date / time vars. Sometimes it fails with no variables at all. Very inconsistant and unpredictable. Fri 2012/03/30 10:04:34 System -5012 35 Fri 2012/03/30 10:16:09 System -5012 38 Fri 2012/03/30 10:17:54 System -5006 uuid:38 Fri 2012/03/30 11:34:47 System -5012 42 Is there a listing of what all the error codes mean in the user guide somewhere ? For what its worth, my feeling is that when its not working, its not even attempting to send. I can see the system state flash "Busy" briefly when it does send and nothing at all when it doesnt. Thanks for any help you can offer with this. -Xathros

I'm still having problems getting the notifications to send is any of them contain a variable. I was able to get a few to work with just date and time info but once I started adding mvars to them eveything stops sending. Anyone else ? -X

Thanks andyf0. I'll have to try again. I did some fairly thorough testing when 3.2.1 first released but have not tried again since. -X

Any word on this ? I'd like to be able to add some non-static information to my notifications. As it is right now, I had to add a bunch (10 ish) of extra notify programs to get the minimum detail I needed without using vars and that still doesn't give me everything I'd like. All of this used to be just 2 programs using vars. Thanks.

I had this randomly happening on one of 2 garage doors. Turned out to be the connections from the wall button and IOlinc at the opener terminals. I had one loose strand of wire that was bridging the terminals and vibration or temp change was enough to make the circuit at random times. Also check for possible shorts along the wires running from the opener to the wall button and IOLinc. Just something to check for. -Xathros

Hi All- Connectivity is working fine from remote via https or http via vpn for me with 3.2.1. cleared both browser and java caches before testing. First time into config tab, all newwork settings appeared blank. Quit and relaunched admin console and they have been properly displayed ever since. Programs displayed fine. Custom notifications don't seem to be working yet. Test button works - actual custom content notifications containing variables don't. Test 1: From Field Blank, Content default - Works (tested twice) Test 2: From Field blank - Custom content static text in subject and body - works Test 3: From Field filled Fname Lname:emali@address - Content Default - Works and the From is displayed in message correctly. (tested twice) Test 4: From Field filled Fname Lname:email@address - Custom content static text in subject and body - Works (tested twice) Test 5: From field filled Fname Lname:email@address - Custom content with static subject and 1 variable in body - Does not work - Variable used: ${alert.time} All tests using my own smtp. A10/X10 module installed. Otherwise, no other problems noted. -Xathros

Thanks LeeG. It's been a while since I've done ISY betas but last time around, I remember having to specificly request access to the beta as they were not posted to the forum. -Xath

How do I apply for access to the beta ? Thanks. -Xath

Hi Michel- The re-authorization worked and the module is now installed. There is a change to the linking menu as you mentioned earlier. The "Add New INSTEON Device" menu item now reads "Add New INSTEON/A10/X10 Device" Thanks for all your help getting this to work. -X

Thanks Michel. Email sent. -X

Hi Michel- Yes. the missing background is on Ubuntu and does not affect functionality at all. Just thought I'd mention it as the 2.7.6 console did not behave that way. Well it looks like the A10/X10 module is not there. All I have on the linking menu is Add X10 to EZX10RF which has been there all along. I looked for my email receipt for the module purchase but can't find it. What do I need to do to prove my purchase ? The help menu shows purchased on 10/8/2009. Thanks. -X

I finally have 2.7.7 installed and running. So far so good. I do notice that the configuration page looks a little odd now. Only the inner boxes have a background color and the areas outside are just white. there is a fairly large section of blank white space above the bulk of the settings. Everything seems to be there and working - just looks odd compared to the rest of the console. One issue - I purchased the experimental X10 module a few months ago - before I had 2.7.7. The manage modules item says my modules are up to date - purchase modules shows the date I purchased the module - I can't seem to find it in the console however. What do I need to do to get that working ? Thanks in advance. -X

Thanks Michel! I'll reinstall 2.7.7 later this weekend and play with it again -X Any update on this ? Thanks. -X

Any update on this ? Thanks. -X

Michel- I have been toying with this for a while now and I have not been able to prove anything other than 2.7.6 works on Linux and 2.7.7 does not. 2.7.6 has the items in cache named the same way as 2.7.7 If I look at the actual packages that are stored in my cache, they don't relate to what I see in the Java control panel. They have cryptic alphanumeric.zip names instead of insteon.jar or CE.jar. I do see things that are ISY related inside of those packages but I'm no java programmer and wouldn't know what to look for in there. Best I can do is say it "feels like" CE.JAR is the failure point on Linux with 2.7.7 For now, I have rolled back to 2.7.6 and restored my devices. It took me a few hours to get everything working again but its all good now. If you have a list of things you would like me to try with 2.7.7, I'd be happy to test again and record results, logs, whatever. Considering the time and effort it took to recover to this point, I'd rather not do this for anything less than a serious test. As for the "feels like"... On the 2.7.6 console right after login, if I click either Program tab, the tab does not focus until the popup window shows. At that point, CE.JAR arrives in my cache. On the 2.7.7 console, Neither program tab will focus and the popup window never appears. CE.JAR does appear in cache once I click either of the program tabs. Thanks again. Let me know when you have something for me to try. -Xathros

Hi Michel- I have checked my config on every test and my settings have remained as I expected. I have specified a static address. As for the old version of the app being used, I don't think thats the case. I have looked at the java control panel and seen the items in the cache. When I remove them, they do go away. They stay gone until the next time I connect to the ISY. When they are redownloaded from the ISY, I see current date/time stamps on the received files insteon.jar and CE.JAR). Also, last night I tested from a machine that had previously never connected to the ISY - same result. I think that eliminates cache as the culprit. At this point I highly suspect myurl/WEB/CE.JAR as the culprit. This does not appear in my cache until I click a Programs tab. I notice that it is the ONLY file in cache with an UPPERCASE filename.ext Linux is case sensitive where Windows is not - Hmmmmm. Could it be that simple ? I will do some testing tonight and see if that makes any sense. BTW, I notice that insteon.jar comes from myurl/web/insteon.jar - notice that /web/ is lowercase there and /WEB/ is uppercase in the CE.JAR url. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree here but I have been bit by the UPPER/lower thing too many times to overlook it now. Thanks. -Xathros

I did as you suggested and still have the same issue with the program tabs however, the status bar now shows "Ready" or "System busy" correctly. I guess this is a step in the right direction. For the moment, I have rolled back to 2.7.6 and all is working as it did before. No other changes to my system other than the isy version change. 2.7.7 is doing something different that Ubuntu does not agree with. One thing I have noticed during this testing: The first time a program tab is selected on a functioning console, there is a "Loading Programs" dialog with a progress bar that pops up. In the non working console, I never see that dialog. I do see other dialogs that pop up during queries and such just fine. Also, during my testing with 2.7.7, I didn't see anything that would allow me to add X10 devices into the tree. I do own the X10 module. Is that feature still included in 2.7.7 or has that been pushed out to a future version ? Let me know if there is anything I can provide to help shed some light on this issue and thanks for all of your help. -Xathros

Well, it works from Firefox on Win XP. Does not work on Firefox on Ubuntu running Java 6.16 Any thoughts ? Thanks. -X

Same result with those. Well 2 and 3 anyway - the first does not find my isy. Also, same result on 3 different systems now. Going to test from a Windows XP VM next. Thanxks. -X

Yes. Closed the browser, cleared the java cache, relaunched the browser, clear it's cache and closed/relaunched again. Still the same. Looks like the 2.7.6 console works for me and the 2.7.7 does not. I can now tell the difference as the 2.7.7 has a blank toolbar icon for new folder that the 2.7.6 console does not have. When 2.7.7 loads, there is a long (15-20 second) delay before the login box displays. 2.7.6 displays the logon and other screens quickly. I have no firewall running and no AV deamon running. The 2.7.7 statusbar always says system busy. What next. TIA -X

A little more info: If I access using the universal-devices/99i url - all seems fine except that I don't see anything new in 2.7.7 there. Using my IP address, I seem to get the old admin console and program tabs are nut functional. Also the status bar shows System Busy the whole time when I know its not. I can use the udi link when I'm home but how do I access this what I'm not home ? I have my port forwards all set up and they work - I just get the wrong console. I'm using Firefox 3.5 on Ubuntu 9.10. All worked fine until I updated to 2.7.7 this morning. About returns Ver 2.7.7 regardless of which console I use. Should I just rollback to 2.7.6 ? I purchased the X10 module and have been waiting for 2.7.7 to try it out. Thanks. -X
