Can't say i have any desire for Alexa to announce anything (or cloud my automation). But yes.

You could. I find the DSC inputs (doors and motion) very useful for other automation in my house too though.

Looked into it the other day, doesn't appear to be a method exposed to the API.

Nodeserver. NodeLink does it, not sure if polyglot has a node for it.

Correct, phone and EVL can exist together.

Anyone figured out how to make backlight consistent? I have 10 years of various switches and dimmers. Depending on the unit I see: 0-100% is perfectly linear with 0% being "almost" off (oldest units) 0% being the sun and 1-100& being somewhat increasing in brightness 0% being somewhat bright and then gradually gets lower till around 10% and then gradually gets brighter from 10-100% I used to be able to just set them all to 50% but it seems like I know need to go and tweak each one separately while standing in front with a laptop. Is this just an Insteon hardware/firmware "feature"?

Works fine here.

Restarting was the fix. Deleting the dir wouldn't make a difference unless your previous config had NodeLink on some strange port that was used by another resource. In that case you would edit the config.xml to change the port.

Reboot the Pi, you have two instances running (hence the "Already in use").

You're manually starting mono without the proper arguements to resolve the 5.16.0.179 bug. Look at the rc.local.

Nope, the part running was just a standard apt-get install. Maybe it ran out of memory. I see you're running X and VNC.

Rerun the install script now. I added an option to the mono run command to fix a bug in mono 5.16.0.179. (mono -O=-aot NodeLink.exe)

NodeLink installation on a Raspberry Pi is now a lot simpler. On a running Pi you type: sudo curl -sSL http://reverbautomation.com/Files/install.sh | bash That's it. It updates the Pi, installs dotnet, downloads NodeLink and sets up the startup script.

Nope. 4 or 5.

Anywhere to buy these in Canada yet?

Nothing, only lyric.

NodeLink is a console application (runs on a networked computer) which allows communication between various devices and an ISY-994i with firmware >=V5. NodeLink is a Node Server which creates nodes (virtual devices) within the ISY. NodeLink runs on a networked computer (Windows, linux, OSX, etc.) running 24-7 w/ NodeLink installed and requires .NET 5.0 runtime or greater be installed.

To rainmachine. I'll run NodeLink from here.

Wouldn't be the parse or I'd get a JSON error. Any chance you could open the port up so I can connect from here? There must be something silly/different in the request post.

Yet another stupid bug. It's cause it's still using http when you set from the config until you restart. The address saved is fine though, so rebooting NodeLink should get it up and running (it loads the address properly with https). Will fix in next version.

0.9.5 is out and should fix this.

Oops that's my bad. I added regex checks to the IP address fields in NodeLink but forgot to take into account the possible addition of ports. I'll clean that up in a new release shortly.

If you do choose Z-wave, use the Homeseer HD100+ instead of the Leviton as it does not support the proper command classes for instant status.

Without knowing your ISY version it's difficult to answer the scene/z-wave portion. In any case, you can use a program to trigger a scene. Just get Alexa to run a Good Night program.

Hail was a valid method to get around a stupid patent that shouldn't have existed. The problem with the DZ6HD-1BZ is it's a new Zwave Plus device that still uses it. Its firmware should be updated to remove hail and add the central scene class instead.
