That works! Thanks! I guess I was over-thinking it, with variables, program calling another program, etc... I like sweet and simple.

Hmm, that makes sense. I'll give that a try.

I have the Elk Doorbell and Telephone Ring Alert kit with an I/O Linc. When my phone rings the lights turn on and off with the I/O Linc in a scene (ringing, IO Linc sensor is on, lights come on, between rings, sensor is off, lights go off). I have also created a program to return the lights back to their previous state before the phone rang. How do I program this to wait until after the last ring before I run the program that returns the lights to their previous state? Right now it's about 3-4 seconds between rings. If the phone has not ring for at least 10 seconds, I want to run my restore state program. Help?

Saw that in the wiki, should have corrected you...

Ah! Thanks! I couldn't find that in the wiki.

I am trying to figure out how to run an action after I do a repeat in my Then program. For example: If Something Happens Then Sent email Repeat 4 times Set Scene 'Notifications' Fast On Set Scene 'Notifications' Fast Off Do something else AFTER but not in the Repeat <------- Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Is it possible? I can't seem to indent it back to the left to be "out of the loop". Thanks, Rick

Legionella could possible occur if temped water was left in a water heater tank undisturbed for an extended period of time, a long period of time. Water heaters are always being refreshed with new cold water and any possibility of bacterial contamination is not likely. Many second home owners turn their water heaters off for weeks at a time. Water heater manufacturers have put settings for lower temperatures on their water heaters. If there were a chance of legionella they would change their design. Legionella is more likely to occur with cross contamination from boilers.

That is what I thought. Thanks!

When I buy a ISY-99i, is the tan/gray RS-232 cable supposed to be included?

Thanks polexian - I never thought of it that way, I shall give it a try!

Hi Michel - I have tested the email speed, and by golly, it sure is fast and a big improvement from two years ago when I last used ISY99i. I can now get emails in about 1 or 2 seconds. Thanks!

Hi Michel - Just want to see if you have ever gotten to this "to-do" and made it possible to save the current state of some devices to restore back to the saved state?

Hi Michel - I am back and have a new ISY99i now and I am going to give this a try again. I basically returned my ISY99i back in 2009 when I was not able to accomplish what I needed. Looks like you guys have made big improvements. I have updated to the latest 3.1.13 Beta. I thought I read somewhere that the Network Module is now included? Am I wrong? Thanks, Rick

Thank you, Michel! I am going to buy a ISY-99i back. Rick

Hi, Been awhile since I've been here. I want to try to get rid of Homeseer and use just ISY-99i. The only thing stopping me is not being able to do scripts on ISY-99i. I think I asked that question 2 years ago. Is it now possible to run a script that will flash a light plugged into a Insteon plug-in module? This is my script in Homeseer- can I do something like this in ISY, without homeseer? Sub Main Dim count for count = 1 to 6 hs.SetDeviceValue "\2", 1 'for On hs.waitsecs .7 hs.SetDeviceValue "\2", 2 'for Off hs.waitsecs .7 next End Sub Thanks!

Is there a way to save the current state of a few devices to restore them to their original state later? Example - I may have my kitchen under-cabinet lights dimmed 40%, my den lights on, the hall lights off, and after doing a global all-off, I want to restore the kitchen under-cabinet lights back to 40% dim, the den lights back on, and the hall lights off if they were turned on after the global all-off. Thanks, Rick

Me neither. If the standard Notification was faster, then it would be perfect. I was playing with my ISY last night and thought of something... If I can use my ISY as a web server, can Apache and PHP 5.2 be installed? if it's possible, I could use the php mail function directly from the ISY hardware all by itself.

Ah! That works pretty good. Thanks!

I did make it post to my twitter account - but the problem I have is - I'm not always at my computer, nor my Blackberry gets twitter updates instantly. This is my scenario: I'm hearing impaired, I cannot hear the phone ring or doorbell. I'm outside in the backyard cleaning the patio. Someone rings the doorbell. My Elk Doorbell Detector triggers the I/O Link and tells ISY-99i to send me an email right away - all under 5 seconds. My Blackberry vibrates with a message that someone is at the door... I stop what I'm doing and go answer the door. If there is a way to get my tweets to my Blackberry that fast, I probably would go that route.

The answer is probably no, but is it possible to have half a second wait time? I'm trying to program flashing notification lights, and I think the 1 second delay is a little long for what I'm trying to do. Thanks, Rick

Woo! I finally got my emails in under 5 seconds! I get them about 3 or 4 seconds after it is triggered... see my solution here: http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=3684

Thanks Michel. I was using 2.7.0 and the best I got my emails was in 18 seconds or longer. I finally tried the 2.7.6 beta and it's down to 14 seconds. If I could hear, that would be good enough for me, but since I rely on visual notifications and getting notifications to my Blackberry due to my deafness, it is critical that I get notified quicker. I am going to be getting 2.7.7/2 next week, don't know if it would make a difference in email speeds, but we'll see. Thanks for the response. Rick

Hmm, I hope you are right. I will email the guy and ask for the Alpha release zip and see if that works out to make my email faster. Thanks!

My version is 2.7.0. I tried to upgrade to the 2.7.6 beta but it wouldn't let me, I guess I have not really read the upgrade instructions carefully -yet. Anyway... No, I am not sending from both Homeseer and ISY at the same time. I disabled Homeseer, switched to ISY, ran tests, took out ISY, put Homeseer back on. I did this about 4 or 5 times until I was absolutely sure it was ISY that was slow not my internet connection or network. It was a minimum 18 seconds every time with ISY and always under 5 seconds with Homeseer.

It's not my mail provider. Like I said, I currently have Homeseer set up the same way, if my doorbell I/O Linc is triggered, I get the email instantly (4 seconds tops from ringing the doorbell, to my Blackberry). It is somewhere between 18 seconds (the best I could get) to somewhere around a minute with the ISY. I tried port 25, and 587... it is faster with 587, but 18 seconds is still too slow for my visual notification. I'll continue playing with it some more.
