Finally have some time to get back to this little project, but I'm already stuck. In the wiki article mentioned in post #6, it says: Sign up at https://pushover.net/login Make a note of your user key So far, so good. Create an application at https://pushover.net/apps Make a note of your application key Here's where I'm stuck. I don't see any apps at that link that have to do with the ISY994i, so how do I "Create an application"?

Saw that post earlier but never clicked the links. That's just what I'm looking for.

Thanks guys. Only been using MobiLinc for a couple months and didn't realize I could do Push through it via the ISY. Just did a test and it works perfectly. Pushover looks really good also. Is there an article/post/thread around here showing how to set it up and how to send a Push from an ISY program?

I'm looking to add Push notifications to my ISY994i. Although doing email and text notifications work fine, I'd really prefer Push. This would be pushing to my iPhone 6S running iOS 9.3 on the AT&T network. What do you guys use?

Just discovered that I can use Geofencing in MobiLinc Pro. Got it all setup and its working perfectly. Once you set it up, it automagically creates a state variable in the ISY, in my case its JohnnyiPhone_ImHome. When you go out of the Geofence, MobiLinc sets the value to 0. When you get back inside, it sets it to 1. Now I have this simple condition in the folder: Folder Conditions for 'Away' If $JohnnyiPhone_ImHome is 0 Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. Now I'm playing around with notifications. I had already set that up, but never used it. Would like to see some notification messages when a couple of the programs in the Away folder are executed. Looks like a real pain in the A$$ to setup Customizations, but I'll just keep at it. BTW, does anyone have any recommendations for a particular Push module to push these notifications to my iPhone? Pros/Cons vs sending text messages?

Thanks so much for all this information. I have lots of programs already in my ISY, but never had a need to use variables before.

Wow, that's very clever! I'm looking at using variables now. For this purpose (just having a variable set to 0 or 1), what's the difference between using an Integer variable and a State variable? Let's say I setup an Integer variable named $Away and had this for the folder condition: Folder Conditions for 'Away' If $Away is 1 Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. I'm still not clear on how I would setup a program, that I could run on demand, that would set that variable to 1 or zero. BTW, how did you post those code samples with the highlighting????? Thanks for the info!

I recently bought the iPhone app MobiLinc Pro and would like to setup a program that I can turn on/off from the app for when I'm away from home. I had already setup a folder in the Admin Console for my ISY994i. Under that folder, I have a few programs to turn on a radio, turn some lights on/off at random times, etc. Originally, the condition for that folder was: Folder Conditions for 'Away' If Status 'Garage Door Opener' is Off Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. When I would leave home (this was for when I'd be away overnight or on a trip), I would turn the garage door opener switch (ToggleLinc Relay) off and leave the house through another door. However, there have been times when I'm home and turn off the garage door opener switch, so I don't want the programs to run. Now that I have MobiLinc Pro, from which I can access my Scenes, Devices, Programs, etc, I trying to find a way to basically turn that "Away" folder on and off. I'm assuming this could be done with a program, so that when I leave home, I can turn that program on and the programs in the folder would then be active. Hopefully I've explained this well enough to get some help from you guys! Thanks

Just noticed something I haven't seen before. When I start the Admin console from that new desktop shortcut, this "ISY Finder" window pops up before the console, then stays in the background. What should I do with this? Click Save?

Thanks for the replies. Tried looking at this again first thing this morning, even before checking email or this forum. On the My Lighting page, under Settings, there is a button for Install Admin Console (Internet). Clicked on that and it installed the shortcut to the Admin Console on my desktop. Can't believe I didn't notice that before. Out of curiosity, how long has that option been on the Settings page?

Haven't had to touch the programming in my ISY 994i in a while, but now need to. When I try to launch the Admin Console, in either IE 11 or Firefox 45, running on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, I get the error "Java 2+ Required". I did some searches on this topic and found a number of items. I've cleared the cache and even uninstalled Java and did a new install of the latest Version 8 Update 91. I have the IP of the ISY in the Exception Site List in the Java control panel. What am I missing here? Can't think of anything that has changed on this machine since the last time it worked, when I upgraded from my old ISY 99 to this 994i. Obviously it worked then, since I had to restore all the programs from the backup of the 99.

Email sent. Thanks!

Looks like I spoke too soon. After the programs to turn the X10 devices on/off ran a couple of times, I'm back to the same issue, as seen below. Obviously this is not a big deal, but I just wonder why this is happening.

I checked (hadn't upgraded since I received the new 994i) and I was on 4.0.5. Just upgraded to 4.2.18, and it does not show the 255% now. Thanks

Recently upgraded to the 994i. Just noticed that in the Admin Console, my x10 devices (yes, I still have a few) are showing as 255%. Any idea what's going on there?

Thanks for the upgrade link. Just ran into this certificate problem today and found this thread. Not real happy about having to buy new hardware, but I do understand the logistics of supporting something past its end-of-life. Getting the upgrade for $99 isn't too bad. In fact, I'm looking forward to playing with a new toy. I'm just disappointed that UDI didn't send out some kind of announcement about the 99i being retired.

I just ordered a 994i to replace my old trusty 99i. What is the upgrade process? How do I transfer everything (devices, scenes, programs, etc) to the new unit? I'm sure this has been covered already, but just can't find that thread/documentation. Thanks

Thanks Lee! Worked like a charm.

Just upgraded from 3.1.17 to 3.2.6. Didn't really need any new functionality, but wanted to get to the latest release. My system has been working fine for a long time. However, after the upgrade, the shortcut I have on my taskbar to the 99i Admin Console doesn't work. I get the error "Unable to launch the application". Checking the properties of that shortcut, I see the target is this: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\javaws.exe -localfile "C:\Users\Johnny\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\40\47b1ff68-1ce1442e" I'm assuming that since I cleared the Java cache after the upgrade, that link is no longer valid. Looking in Windows Explorer, I can see tons of folders under the new cache\6.0 folder. How do I either modify that shortcut target, or just create a new one? If I go to My Lighting on my desktop, I can get to everything just fine. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Thanks

Got it. Thanks again. Have a great weekend!

Oh yeah, its all falling into place now. I'm creating scenes like a madman! I still don't understand the "Apply Changes To All Devices" checkbox in a scene. Under what circumstances would you check that, and when would you not? Thanks!

Ok, the light bulb over my head just went on. Its all starting to make sense now. That was a really great explanation of how all this works. I'd still like to see someone put together a video, or a step-by-step example of setting up a scene using the admin console. The documentation I found is just too brief! Thanks again for your replies. You are terrific resource and I appreciate you taking the time to help! John

Ok, that worked, using "Insteon" instead of "Adjust Scene". The scene was indeed at the bottom of the list. So now when I press button A, all the garage lights come on, then button B lights up, but the shop fan does not come on. As you can see from my original post in this thread, button B turns on the shop fan, which is wired to a 2466S ToggleLinc Relay. How can that B button turn on, but not start the shop fan? If I just hit the B button by itself, it lights up and the shop fan comes on. Hit it again, and the light goes off and 10 minutes later the fan goes off. Its just not doing that in the new scene. Thanks for the How-to Scenes link. I read it over a couple of times and am really embarrassed. I spent almost 30 years programming computers, but this scene stuff still has me baffled! Guess it will take some time and experimenting for it all to sink in.

Thanks for the tip Lee. Can you point me to a tutorial/example of setting up scenes in the ISY? The only example I can find is doing a scene with just the buttons and doesn't involve the ISY. I did create a scene in the main tab of the ISY console, and added that button as a responder. I then went through these steps, but don't see the scene listed: Program detail tab, select a program Hit the Action button Select Adjust scene The "In Scene" dropdown box is empty and does not list my new scene

With a 2486S, is it possible, via ISY99i programming to turn on button "B" when button "A" is pressed? Here's the scenario I'm trying to program. I setup these two programs for button "B": Shop Fan On: If Control 'Garage KeypadLinc - B' is switched On Then Set 'Shop Fan' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Shop Fan Delay Off: If Control 'Garage KeypadLinc - B' is switched Off Then Wait 10 minutes Set 'Shop Fan' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I have programmed button "A" to turn on/off 3 set of lights. I would like for button "A" to turn on the "B" button also. Of course, I can add this line to the "Then" section of the program "A" code: Run Program 'Shop Fan On' (Then Path) However, doing that would not actually turn on the "B" button. I have looked at all the possibilities when creating the program, but don't see an option to turn on or off one of the other buttons on the 2486S via an ISY program. Is this possible?
