Lee, Thanks for your interest. I'm going to start a new subject on this since this has nothing to do with 3.1.17. I had to step away from it for awhile once I started looking for wireless spy cameras. Gary

Lots of errors, but not any -5000x errors. But I've been trying to figure out my all-of-a-sudden TriggerLinc reception problem all day (nothing to do with the ISY and didn't figure it out.) I may have cleared the log last night after I finished with the email stuff.

No notifications, and they ran. The TriggerLinc issue turned out to be something else--RF interference, I think. I'm going to ask for thoughts on that in a separate thread.

It was either the email customizations or the triggers in the program itself. I just kept fiddling with both until the notifications started working again. After playing with all TriggerLincs, the ISY is receiving the signals again and showing their status.

I was just using the test button. I also found I had to redo all of the programs with notifications in them. On a separate issue, I have four TriggerLincs and have lost communications with all of them--no status at all in the admin console or log entries when their status changes. Hmmm.

I've always just used the default (alerts@universal-devices.com,) and it completely stopped working. So, I filled in the SMTP info for my email provider (Yahoo Plus) and had to change the SMTP port from 465 to 587. It works with those settings whether I put something before the colon or not in the "from" field. email: Yahoo Plus ISP: AT&T DSL

D'oh! That got it. I wasn't familiar with that option; even though, humidity was being reported with the old dongle. I guess the good news is you got the "report humidity" option working. Thanks, as always.

Yes, it reports everything else automatically whether I change the set point or mode on the thermostat or with the ISY. And the thermostat reports inside temp changes automatically. I may have jumped the gun on the high humidity reporting. Breathing on it too much, maybe. I still need to watch it for a day or so. I did replace the dongle following the excellent procedure posted here. http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=6811&p=52014&hilit=dongle#p52014 If you think removing the thermostat from the ISY and setting it up again from scratch would help, I can try that. I just dont' want to do it unnecessarily.

Hmmm. I just found this thread after I replaced my 2.0 dongle with a 2.3 dongle on a Venstar 1900. The 2.3 is not reporting humidity changes. I have to query it. Plus the humidity it reports is about 10% more than with the 2.0. I just put it in so I'll have to watch this for a day or two to verify. Any updates on getting automatic humidity reports like with the 2.0 dongle? 3.1.13

Many thanks to GPG and apostolakisl for the guidance. There's no telling how many hours it saved me. I got two iTach units (WF and IP) today after giving up on a working Insteon IR solution. They both work great, and I was able to get rid of my last two X-10 devices. The Hunter Douglas Powerrise 1.0 blinds in my bedroom work consistently for the first time ever. The IR blaster is a little weak, though. I had to aim it precisely. Now that I have an iTach, I think I'll give iRule a shot at replacing my Harmony remote when the new iPod Touch comes out.

I checked the event viewer, and there was no X-10. Nonetheless, I'll try a reset when I get home.

No X-10. The KPLs are brand new. I'm leaving town tomorrow. I'll have to tackle the other suggestion when I get back. Thanks.

I have tranferred everything over to the ISY, and have my programs and scenes working great. However, the last thing I've been working on are KPL lights and which ones should be on when. I have one 6-KPL and one 8-KPL, both v.36. The six-key one has scenes defined on the four small buttons labeled A, B, C, and D. The eight-key has scenes on the bottom two buttons labeled G and H. I have the button lights working for the most part within each KPL. However, buttons on one KPL turn on lights on the other KPL without them being in the scene. For instance, if I press C on 6KPL, G and H illuminate on the 8KPL. If I add G and H to the C scene and put the slider at zero, same thing. Slider on 100%, same thing. It works the other way, too. G and H on the 8-KPL turn on A and B on the 6-KPL. I want A and B off. I tried a program to change the backlighting so it would look like they were off. Nope, same result. For clarification, the scenes associated with the buttons on the other KPLs are not being activated. The button light just turns on. I've removed the buttons from the scenes that aren't working properly and am ready to start over, but I'm out of ideas.

Flag program. Total newbie here and trying to learn the new ISY-way of doing things. I had flags in my previous program (HCA), but had no idea how to do it with the ISY. This will be a great help. Thanks.

Thanks, Joe. No Insteon yet. Waiting for a sale to replace all X-10 with all Insteon. I plan on using Homeseer with the ISY; however, from what I've read, I want the ISY to do as much as possible. I plan on going from X-10, Home Control Assistant (excellent program, btw) to the ISY, Homeseer/HSTouch, and a wall-mounted Archos 9 as a touch screen. The only reason I'm leaving HCA is the lack of touch screen interface. And the touch screen is just a want, really. Just trying to put it together in my head first.

Hi, Pre-purchase question. I just found out I can't specify a date range without the year. I can deal with that until a future upgrade, but . . . What is the maximum sunset offset value (if any) for the ISY-99i? I need minus 4:15 for my application. Thanks.

Ooooh. Lurker-soon-to-be-ISY user. Switching over from X-10 to Insteon when Smarthome has a sale. This will be a must-have feature for me, too.
