  1. I just put UD Mobile on an iPad. Leak sensor status doesn't show. Is there a way to directly show sensor status as a device like other devices do? I'm trying to avoid setting up a variable just look at sensor status. I'm assuming a variable would work. Thanks

    I loaded the other five ISYs with only the Portal connections (no local) tonight. I can't believe how fast the app Portal interface is. Well done. One small suggestion . . . Consider making the favorites tab specific to the ISY you selected. I can see arguments either way. I'm all in Android, but the iOS app can't come soon enough for my users. So how's that going? Thanks again.

    That's a great idea. Wish I had thought of it when I set up new place. I wanted to do the same thing but didn't know how to do it.

    I would just like to say thank you for this. I put it on my Pixel 4. I haven't customized it yet; but it works, including the RPi. ? I support five ISYs for people that all have iPhones. I look forward to the iOS version for them. Thanks again . . .
  5. Thanks for the input. I'll be putting my commands in programs so I should be able to control the overlapping commands. Plus, there are only two. That condo is small, and the motors are in separate rooms but pretty close together. Hopefully, close enough. I have seven Somfy roller shades and curtains in my condo. The roller shade motors have better range. I'm running Polyglot on a RPi in my place. It's not nearly reliable enough to put in someone else's place. I have to go in and restart the Hue nodeserver often. Same thing with DarkSky, but I removed DarkSky as I don't need it anymore. I put a RPi restart command to run every day at 4am, but I still have to restart the Hue nodeserver once a week or so. The Sonos nodeserver seems to always work. We'll see what happens when S2 comes out in a week. The ISY is rock solid so I'll be sending the Somfy tcp commands from the ISY directly. We'll see how it works out. I was going to buy a Zwave module for the ISY and use the Somfy Zwave interface, but many here didn't think that would work.
  6. Many thanks. I'm looking for the best super robust way forward for some new Somfy roller shades in a rental unit. All of the Somfy solutions get poor reviews (myLink, ZRTSi, URTSi II, etc.,) mostly due to range issues. I'll try myLink and network resources first and cross my fingers. And how 'bout Elon yesterday?!!! ? Well done!
  7. Would you mind sharing the MyLink tcp commands you use for network resources? Thanks
  8. Well, this is probably the best thing I've learned all week. I tried it, and you're right. I wish I had known this a year ago.
  9. I have a variable to control an Alexa routine. It still works; however, . . . It has always had variable timing on the execution. It can be anywhere from 1 second, 3-6 seconds, or occasionally not at all. It's not the ISY. The variable changes instantaneously.
  10. I've never tried that, but I assume the A key and light are part of a scene; and you are trying to adjust both the light and key. Have you tried having Alexa turn the scene on/off instead?
  11. I set mine up a year or two ago with a Somfy URTSI II and an Autelis Shade Control for Somfy RTS. I don't have any Zwave. The Autelis is reliable and easy to integrate into the ISY with network resources. I've found the URTSI range isn't the best, but I've gotten it to work. For some reason, the roller shades have better range than the curtains. Autelis may be out of business, though. They still have a website, but all of their products are showing "out of stock." They may be still making them by request. You would have to contact them if you're interested. If you're using Zwave with your ISY, I would definitely go with the ZRTSI. It would give you a lot more placement flexibility and one less component to buy assuming no range problems.
  12. My mistake--I misread your post. I thought you had a Samsung and had already gotten this to work. I played with this but didn't get anywhere without knowing how to populate the various fields in network resources. Above my level. Thanks, though . . .
  13. I'm looking to send just a couple of commands (stop, off) to a Samsung commercial display (ML55E) with network resources. The display was released in 2016 so it probably would be the same as a 2017 Samsung tv. What is the protocol information in the network resources editor you used? Thanks.

    I would like to know what you think. I have a fixed iPad in a rental unit that I would love to put something on as long as it's solid and not too much work. Universal Devices still features eKeyPad on their homepage, but the forum is dead on it. So I don't know what to think about eKeyPad's status or future. I've already been down the iRule road . . .
  15. Or maybe putting the switch in a program and have Alexa run the program.
  16. I know this doesn't help with the problems y'all are experiencing, but I just wanted to add my two cents on fanlincs. I have recently put in three Modern Fan Torsion fans with a light kit with fanlincs, keypadlincs, and an ISY. It all works perfectly. There's no hum at all and the led light dims unbelievably well. A long time ago, I put in a similar setup for an old Hunter Douglas fan when the fanlincs first came out. It worked great, too. I did have to RMA two version 2 fanlincs when a nearby substation blew up, but they were working great before that. The latest version is 3.1, I believe.
  17. I'll be glad to help, but I just got off an all night flight from Africa. I plan on sleeping the rest of the day. If you pm me your number and/or email address, I'll see what I can do. Gary
  18. You're right; the program was never triggered. But the "if" was so simple, I didn't know why. Plus, it wasn't even running with a "run then" yesterday. It was enabled. I went down today to put 5.12 on and noticed the last run time was correct so I looked at the variables. They were correct today. I poked at it yesterday but didn't change anything. So I don't know why it wasn't running yesterday but is fine today.
  19. I took me forever to find it, too.
  20. Alright, I wrote/copied this program to get the date without a year. I have one integer variable "scratchpad" and one state "MM.DD" variable. This is about to be a rental property so I can't do my usual trial-and-error method of programming. When I wrote it yesterday, it worked fine after a run-then right click. Today the variables are still showing yesterday's date-- 2.25 I don't see anything wrong with it, but this ISY is connected to a router without internet right now. The ISY date/time is correct using the 24-hour option. Does the ISY have to have an internet connection to grab a system variable? Thanks
  21. Let me come back here to not really answer my own question from last year. I gave up on this issue, but before I left I decided to upgrade the router for the next person due to much faster internet connection availability. I started getting notifications after I installed the new router--Mobilinc, portal, Echo, etc. works great. So basically I changed nothing other than the router from a TP-Link to a Netgear. I put both on separate subnets after reading the replies . . . I have no explanation--just changed the router and used the same settings, and everything was fine after that.
  22. Just starting a ver 5 ISY setup from scratch. After loading ver 5, I see you still can't specify a date range without a year. That's a little disappointing. In my old place I had to go in every year to change the year on a couple of programs. What is the latest/easiest way to use a date range without a year in ver 5? Thanks
  23. The ISY, TP-Link router, and Arris combo are all on 192.168.1.xxx. Networking issues are not my strong suit. I had to leave home for a week. I'll chase down these questions when I get back. When I figure this out, I'll post my results here. Thank you both for your suggestions.
  24. The Arris is a modem/router combo. Bridge mode worked great with my ancient DSL modem/router. I wish the Arris had a true bridge mode rather than IP passthrough, but AT&T likes to snoop. The firewall is a good theory. I'll try disabling it all together on the Arris when I get back in town in a week. However, of all the devices that pass through the firewall, the ISY portal is the only thing not working . . .
