Interesting.... So you're saying that ISY treats time conditions and integer variable conditions differently? I ask because I use time conditions on folders all the time with no problem. If what you say is true then ISY must poll the condition differently when it's not an integer. I've experimented and I don't find this to be true. Regardless of whether the variable is integer or state it still results in an immediate change of the folder condition (green to red or back). I created two variable s_send alert and i_send alert - one a state, one an integer - both work the same. I'm going to play with this some more - it'll be more difficult now that I don't have 80 or 90 people milling about my yard causing sensors to go nuts. In the meantime it'd be interesting to get a firm answer - perhaps from Michel - as to the need for a folder condition variable to be a state variable mark

I'll give it a whirl but I'm not sure I follow your reasoning. With that said you may well be right and I misunderstand the folder variable. I use state variables quite a bit - for programs that need to execute at the time the variable value changes state. The folder condition variable doesn't work that way. When the variable changes state nothing runs. It just allows the programs in the folder to run if/when they evaluate true. The wiki makes no reference to a folder condition requiring a state variable. Indeed it makes no sense for that to be required as the folder condition can be a schedule condition - not a variable. Here's the entry Description There are situations where it is desirable to limit when a set of programs is allowed to run. An office for example may want to limit the hours in which certain lights or appliances are allowed to be turned on, and also automatically turn them off at those times. Folder conditions provide a means of doing this without having to modify each individual program. Adding conditions to a folder is identical to adding conditions to a program. Conditions for a folder must first be met for any of the programs in that folder (or its sub-folders) to run. Folders by default have no conditions, and therefore do not limit when the programs within them run.

This is the folder with the condition. The variable is Integer with a value of 0 Alerts - [ID 0013][Parent 0001] Folder Conditions for 'Alerts' If $Alerts_Send_Email is 1 Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. This is the program that resides in the folder above - as simple as code can be Gate to path email - [ID 008D][Parent 008C] If Elk Zone 'Gate to yard' is Violated Then Send Notification to 'Default' content 'Deer - Gate' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') And despite this I will receive the email alert when $Alerts_Send_Email is 0. Not always - just when the program condition gets triggered repeatedly Interestingly - if I add the condition to the program itself so that it looks like this Gate to path email - [ID 008D][Parent 008C] If Elk Zone 'Gate to yard' is Violated And $Alerts_Send_Email is 1 Then Send Notification to 'Default' content 'Deer - Gate' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') This will work properly and will not trigger. It's as if the program condition is evaluated separately from the folder condition and when overwhelmed the folder condition doesn't get checked. I thought the folder condition would be evaluated first - and that the program conditions wouldn't even be evaluated if the folder conditions were false. This is a minor problem - I have no complaints - it's just curious. mark

Nope - the only way to that program is by the motion sensor going violated and it resides in a folder that requires the variable to be true. I confirmed that it was the program in question by adding the program data to the email sent There are no program references that assign a value to the variable - the only way to change it is manually I don't think so.... I don't actually 'trigger' the folder state to false - I assign the variable to false manually and that *should* be adequate to stop the programs in that folder from running. I experimented by adding an additional reference to the same flag within the program so that it reads If elk zone gate motion is violated AND flag send email is TRUE then notify etc. etc. That addition holds - and the program doesn't run. I'm not sure what that means other than that the condition itself is valid Imark

I've been rewriting some of my code recently and have moved a bunch of routines around. I have a flag called 'Send Email Alert' which I set to either True (1) or False (0). It's currently set to 0 and I've confirmed it. It's an integer variable. I have a program that senses Elk motion and, when an Elk PIR zone is violated, it sends an email to me. The code looks something like this If elk zone gate motion is violated then notify default blah blah blah That program lives inside a folder which *should* only allow the program to run if the flag 'Send Email Alert' is True/1 For the most part it works. But today we had a lot of company - like 80 people over. There were people tripping the motion sensor relentlessly and from time to time the email message would get sent despite the flag being false. Is it possible to overwhelm the condition processing on the folder? mark

Thank Michel, I haven't been keeping up so I didn't see that. It looks like with a bit of customization it will do just what I want. As always, thanks for the great support. mark

I can do some very basic (emphasis on basic) web page design. On my personal home page I have a table of devices in my home that I want to quickly be able to control. It's basically just a list of devices in one column then an 'on' and an 'off' button in two adjacent columns. It works *fine* - very 'no frills' but it gets what I want to do done. I'd like to, though, be able to display the status of the device - very simplistically - just change the color of the text to green for on and red for off or something like that. In addition I'd like to be able to set a color or other indicator on my web page depending on whether an ISY variable is 0 or 1. Is there a straight forward way to do this? This is the only web design that I want to do so I'm not looking for a big, complicated project. If it's going to be too much work I'd rather just either skip it or buy one of the pre-made apps. Thanks in advance, mark

Thanks again Lee, I got to thinking about whether this device not working properly may be related to why my other wireless devices may not have been working properly (I mentioned that I gave up on 2420's). On a whim I unplugged my PLM for a few seconds along with the ISY and then plugged them back in again. The leak sensor is now working properly. I guess something went awry with the PLM that a reboot fixed. Now when I tap the button the states populate properly. W00t! Thanks for your patient help, Mark

Looks like I accumulated all my questions from the last 2 years for today. Three posts going at the same time - i promise not to start a fourth! I was looking at the scene test diagnostic feature today and was playing with it. I'm a little confused by the results and was hoping I could get some clarification. When I run a scene test - regardless of how big or small the scene - it appears to run successfully. All the devices that should turn on do, in fact, turn on and then they all turn back off again. But the result always shows 'fail'. I've noticed this in the past and never worried about it as everything still works as it should. But it did make me wonder what it is about the scene test that makes ISY think it's failing while it looks to me like it's passing just fine. Thanks, Mark

Thanks Lee and Teken (I used to love the video game Tekken btw), I removed the sensor from my system, did a factory reset on it and re-added it. I do have one question before I post what happened. When you press and hold the set button you get a slow, continuous blinking - if you press it during this slow, continuous blinking it changes to a double flash - pause style of blinking. Do you know the difference between these two modes? Ok... so I re-added it during the double flash-pause blinking. It added as it should. I'll comment here that it added quicker than usual and I think that's because I stoped all processes - including Elk traffic - so that I could get a clean log. It made me wonder if that should be part of my regular routine - minimizing insteon and elk traffic while adding devices or changing link tables. Anyways... it added but again the nodes didn't populate - all states show blank. I rebooted the ISY but no change. I then restored it to the dry sensor and the log is attached. It restored fine but still no state information. I'm wondering if this may be a faulty sensor. I will note, however, that I do have problems getting state information from some of the 2420 motion sensors and have pretty much stopped using them in favor of GE Crystal Elk sensors that are far more reliable and have much better battery life. It makles me wonder if the problem getting state information from wireless sensors may be symptomatic of a different problem..... Anyways, here's the log - and as always, thanks very much for your help!

As always, thank you Michel. I cleared my Java cache when I updated to 4.2.10 but I'll do it again. You may be on to something with the firewall as I typically leave firewall turned off but recently it got turned on again as a result of an antivirus software installation. I'll turn it back off again and see how it goes. Much appreciated. Mark

Sorry - I have one open issue at the moment and this is unrelated so I started a second post. I can't find anyone who's had/having a similar problem or at least that posted it in such a way that my search returned any results so here goes and my apologies if this has been handled before. I'm on 4.2.10 but this was happening earlier as well. When I go to my programs tab usually it will open the loading programs dialog and the programs will display for me to edit etc. But sometimes either the tab won't activate or it activates but no programs will display. There doesn't seem to be a way to make this problem resolve. I can switch to the configuration, main, or elk tabs and they all come up fine but despite switching tab to tab the programs tab remains frozen. If I then close the UDI interface and then re-open it I will frequently (usually) get the 'authenticate my lighting' dialog but it doesn't completely load - it remains greyed and the text boxes for entering username and password are not there nor is the ok/cancel buttons. If I restart my session a time or two this will often resolve or if I unplug/replug the ISY it will resolve but come back again soon after. Any thoughts? Mark

... that time seemed to be - yes - but I still have no state information in the ISY interface. Current state shows blank in heartbeat, wet, and dry. Query returns nothing. mark

Thanks for the quick replies. ISY is on firmware 4.2.10 The leak sensor is within 4ft unobstructed of the 2413plm I tried to shut down all normal activity so the log wouldn't be cluttered with extraneous rubbish (I have an Elk and a bunch of perimeter sensors that send a lot of traffic just from normal home movement). Hopefully there's not a lot of crap in here. I really do need to learn how to read the comm events some day. Thanks in advance for your help - as you can surmise the address of the sensor is 28.51.25 Here's the log Fri 09/19/2014 10:31:22 AM : [ 28 51 25 1] Preparing Device 'LEAK SENSOR-Dry' for Restore Fri

So I just bought a few new Insteon devices - that brings my housewide total up to somewhere around 140 or so individual devices - I love this stuff One of the devices I bought was a 2852-222 leak sensor. I can't seem to get it to link, though, despite having gone through the wiki. I've pulled up the new insteon device dialog, selected the 10.08 Leak sensor device type and added the address of the unit. I put it in comm mode by pressing and holding the button till it starts flashing - this is where the wiki gets a bit weird and may be where I'm going wrong. The wiki says that when it starts blinking to release and then click the button again at which point the ISY can see it (by ISY I assume it means via the dual band devices and not by some RF capability of the ISY that I'm unaware of). But when I release the button and click it again the normal blinking pattern changes to a double blink - pause pattern. I can't find any reference to this pattern anywhere. In the single blink mode my ISY will eventually add the device but then I'll get a failed to communicate error. That will bring up the exclamation point prompts beside the device on the main screen. I can disable/reenable it and then try to restore it but I can never communicate with it and none of the 3 sensors get a reading nor can I query it. I'm literally surrounded by dual band devices where I'm doing this - there are easily a dozen within 20ft so I don't think it's that (or maybe there's TOO many?) Any help would be appreciated. mark

As an aside - using the method maddbomber83 posted I changed the size of the iframe down to 1x1. That effectively makes it invisible and does what I wanted perfectly. Thanks again, Mark

That worked perfectly! Thanks. I just cut and pasted your iframe line into my code and reset the targets of the hyperlinks to it. Much appreciated! Mark

Hi, I'm a very very very very basic html programmer. Emphasis on the basic. I'm trying to add a simple web page to my personal web space that lets me turn the lights on and off in the house. It's purely meant for local use so all the links map within my 192.168.0.xxx network space. I've created the page and added all the necessary rest commands and it works perfectly. I've got on and off text hyperlinks to each appropriate rest command - one for each ON and one for each OFF. The only thing of it is that when I click the link the browser treats it as it should - as a link - and opens the rest command result in either a new tab or in the same tab. Either way the focus shifts to a tab/page/browser window other than the one with all my buttons. I'd like it to stay on the same page so I can press additional buttons without having to switch back. Ideally I don't care to see the rest command result at all. I'm sure this is a snap for all the web design savvy folks out there. I'd sure appreciate a nudge in the right direction. Thanks, Mark

Ahhh - uPnP was the problem. I recently switched to VoIP in my home and changed my Linksys Tomato Firmware over to dd-WRT. I didn't realize that dd-WRT had uPnP disabled by default. I turned it back on and all is well now. Thank you Michel! mark

Thanks Brian, I'm hoping one of the developers pops in and sheds some light on what this means and what the cause might be. My log after a reboot looks like this. Something is up. I had it linked to mobilinc and to homeseer but have disconnected those to troubleshoot.

Hi, Any ideas what this set of logged error messages means? Every 10-12 seconds I get a System -80000 or System -80004 Thanks, mark

It's a Signalinc 2406H mark

I found something interesting today that I thought I'd share. The technogeeks amongst us will probably understand why this is but it took me the better part of two hours to sort out. I use my ISY for most of my HA but I run homeseer with the mcsSprinklers plugin to control my irrigation system. I've thought of using an EZ-flora but I have 12 zones so I'd have to buy 2 of them and that's $$$ I have an A10 powerline coupler repeater to ensure that my X-10 signals get to my X10 based irrigation controler (16 zones - it occupies a full house code). Recently I moved my signalinc to the same circuit as the A10. I saw no problem with that but there sure was. I noticed today that my garden was VERY dry. I tried running my zones but none of them would turn on. The X-10 signal was showing in the ISY diagnostic window but the A10 tx/rx light wasn't flickering and the irrigation controller wasn't turning on. After a bunch of troubleshooting I disconnected the signalinc from the circuit. Shazam it all started working again. Turns out that you can't have a signalinc and an A10 coupler/repeater on the same circuit. The signalinc completely wipes out the X-10 signal. I have no idea why but I'm glad I stumbled into this without buying anything. mark

Thanks, Bob, I know what you mean about not making many changes once your system is stable. I was the same till recently when I did a reno and ended up changing a bunch of switches out. Then last month Smarthome put their custom engraved buttons on sale so I ordered a few sets in black along with black KPL's for my bedroom. I find the regular KPL's too bright at night. I have a few scenes that turn all the lights off in the house along with the KPL buttons associated with them. With nearly 200 devices in the house - multiply that by a factor of 2 or 3 for KPL buttons and the end result is a scene that could have several hundred links to write when I add or subtract a device. Whenever I mess with that particular scene it's an invitation for disaster - I get incomplete writes and multiple hangs of the ISY. It usually takes a few days of checking and rewriting devices till all is OK. I wasn't sure if that was just the way it is or if homeseer and in particular the ISY plugin for it might be causing part of the trouble.
