I have the IR version and it works as oberkc said. Much nicer than using a separate insteon device (it doesn't flood your powerlines). It has a generic 40 code set that is available on a Harmony remote, or other codes can be learned. I have my isy-99 about 100' from my media center by using an IR repeater and some CAT5 cable. It works perfect.

I just upgraded my system with a 2413S from AARtech last week and it's work great.

I have 2 IOLinc garage kits based around this code and they work great: http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=1403

Not sure who this question is for. I'm using a standard switchlinc relay (no timer) and handling the timer portion within ISY programs.

Hi Jim, A program will re-evaluate itself after a wait command. So after the 20 minute wait, if all the if condtions are still not true, then the program jumps to else instead off turning the lamp off. Your best bet is to accomplish this by using 2 programs, one latching a second executing program.

I thought I'd throw this one up. I've setup my master bath fan on a 30 minute timer so that my wife doesn't leave it on all day after a shower. I also wanted this fan (when its hot outside) to turn on for 10 minutes every hour to help air circulation in the house. Then I needed code so that the "circulation" feature did not bother a standard bathroom user. Here's what I did: This program simply turns off the fan after it's running for 30 minutes. It also resets the 30 minutes if you tap the fan on again. Timer - Master Bath Fan: If Control 'upstairsMasterBathFan' is switched On Or Status 'upstairsMasterBathFan' is On Then Wait 30 minutes Set 'upstairsMasterBathFan' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') This program monitors the conditions to see if the fan should turn on for circulation. Climate - Upstairs Fan A: If From 9:00:00AM To 8:00:00PM (same day) And Module 'Climate' Temperature >= 20 °C And Status 'upstairsMasterBathFan' is Off Then Run Program 'Climate - Upstairs Fan B' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') This program handles the 10 minutes on per hour. Climate - Upstairs Fan B: If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Wait 50 minutes Set 'upstairsMasterBathFan' On Wait 10 minutes Set 'upstairsMasterBathFan' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') The final program interrupts the circulation programs if a user wants to use the fan. Climate - Upstairs Fan C: If Control 'upstairsMasterBathFan' is switched On Then Stop program 'Climate - Upstairs Fan B' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

What system do you have? I have a DSC system working well here.

I've always preferred to use PuTTY with Windows. PuTTY is open source and supports telnet, SSH and serial port.

Yep that'd work. By default a folder is "enabled" by having nothing in its if statement. If you want to run on a condition you could create a program in the main list and use it as a flag/condition for the party folder. You could either set the "status program" with proper if conditions, or just setup its conditions to always be true and enable/disable it as required.

Might be an idea to check for communication issues with the KPL. I had a v35 KPL that was on on the same circuit as a computer which was causing noise. I could not adjust LED level successfully and it always took a while to write to. After installing a filterlinc and doing a restore on the KPL, everything was fine. For the majority of people in the form using IO Lincs for garage doors, the relays are set to latch (Mine is and works great).

Mainly because I want more control over the LED. In the first case, the sub's LED blinks a couple times and turns everything off. In the second case it turns on for a brief second then turns off. If I use it as a controller I lose the "pretty" control of the LED (I think).

Just picked up a KPL (Switch - v36) and was hoping to get some general info. I don't have an option in programs to turn on/off sub buttons. If this a mistake or not possible? My only way seems to be making it part of a scene and turning the scene on/off. To use a sub button as an indicator for something like "garage doors open" would I make it part of a scene with the controller being the io input? Trying to make a sub button "turn off all lights". Right now I have the button as non-toggle and use a program to turn off a scene with all the lights in it. This only seems to work if i use "switched off or switched on" in the if statement. The other way would be to make the button toggle and then the program would look for the "switched on". It would then turn off a scene with all the lights in it which also includes the sub button. Anything cleaner?

Why not just combine everything given in the original one-program else into the then? If Status 'Master Bedroom Light' is Off And Control 'Master Bedroom Light' is switched Off Then Set 'Master Bedroom Light' 20% Wait XX seconds Set Scene 'Slow Master Bedroom Light' Off Else

Everything looks good here.

The unit was brand new. Upgraded to 2.7.12 and then added the 4 Dimmers.

Am I completely missing something? I have SL Dimmers and I can only see "on" in my program action options. There doesn't seem to be a way to set an "On Level"? V38 & 2.7.12

Just picked up an ISY-99IR and starting my home auto fun. What's the best firmware to start off with at this point? I'll be using KPLs, Icon relays, SH Dimmers. I'll be adding an EZIO2x4 and Venstar thermostat in the near future. I'll also be using my Harmony remote with the IR.
