I don't have anything yet but I will take a stab at it and let you know.

At this point you have to use the std method... put 2 fingers on the display and slide them togther or apart depending on whether zooming in or out. This does get a little old after a while but it works.

Hi Michel, This is just a suggestion but... I like the flexibility of the ISY's Web UI and while a full blown app would be nice, I am not sure it is really necessary. There are numerous things you can do with iPhone specific meta tags that would make your web UI very functional under safari. See this thread: http://ajaxian.com/archives/iphone-full-screen-webapps The iPhone/iTouch makes great controller platform for the ISY. With a few more simple steps it could be awesome and you don't even need Apples approval. Just my $.02 Thx,

I think the iTouch makes a great controller. Use the html scene/device lists and double-tapping on each list will zoom in automatically. Good luck.

Thanks Joe, That is pretty cool! I can see how you do this now (although it resulted in a mild brain cramp first). I like this idea. I have numerous outside lights and low voltage devices and one 8 button keypad link in the garage. 8 buttons is just not enough, I need about 12 to control everything individually. I don't want to have to cut out another gang. I think I will try something like this. Thanks, -jeffd

Triggering the folder and the programs in contains seems like it could be a little tricky. Could you just put your initialization code in a single program and set it to "Run at Reboot" in the program summary screen?

Joe, How many programs did you end up creating? Is it one for each house/unit code? Would you care to share some examples?

I noticed SH is now taking preorders for thier new IRLinc. Having already invested in the 26, I was wondering if it will support the IRLinc? Have you seen/tested any beta versions? Just curious? Thanks, -jeff

Mike, You are absolutely right. I knew I should have tested that before I opened my big mouth. I was actually wrong on two counts. I was trying to make the point that the staus should always reflect the correct state. If fact it does in your program because, as soon as the button goes out, the staus goes to false. Second, You intent is not to determine if the scene is true, your intent is to turn the button off if it's NOT. It was a good, although, painful lesson for me. I have been programming for a long time but I have found that when dealing with the ISY, it is better to throw that experience out the door and test, test, test. LOL -jeff

Mike, I have a suggestion for you which I suppose is a matter of style more than anything else but I find it useful. I actually started a thread on this and then deleted it, not sure why? The suggestion has to do with this code: If ( Status 'KitchenBar1' is not 90% Or Status 'KitchenMain1' is not 50% Or Status 'KitchenTable1' is not Off ) And Status 'KitchenControls1G' is not Off Then Wait 2 seconds Set Scene 'KitchenBreakfastStatus' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') It seems like your intent is to resolve the question "Is the Breakfast Scene Set?" While your program works, it seems to use "Inverse" logic. The result being that the "status" of the program does not follow your intent although your button does. The program will be "True" when the scene is NOT set. I actually haven't tested this so I could be wrong here but, it reads that way to me. The "status" is not really a functional requirement but it may save you some confusion later on if it is managed consistently. It is often helpful if the button and the staus follow the intent. Here is another way to do this: If Status 'KitchenBar1' is 90% and Status 'KitchenMain1' is 50% and Status 'KitchenTable1' is Off Then Wait 2 seconds Set Scene 'KitchenBreakfastStatus' On Else Wait 2 seconds Set Scene 'KitchenBreakfastStatus' Off In this case all is well. If the scene is set then the LED will be lit and the programs staus will be true to indicate it. If not, it all goes false. A variation on this might be to put the "then" logic in the condition. You can do this if you don't want to turn the button on in your program. I haven't actually tested this program, I am using it as an example but I hope what I am trying to say makes sense. Enjoy, -jeff

Sure! This may be the only case where one is better than two.

Chris, You can do this with a simple program on the ISY. If Control 'Kitchen Fan Switch' is switched Fast On And Control 'Kitchen Fan Switch' is not switched Fast Off Then Set 'Kitchen Fan' On Else Set 'Kitchen Fan' Off Substitute your devices and it should work fine. Of course, If you have a local load on the switch it will activate also. Good Luck, -jeff

In a future release, could you add a programming action that could write a user defined message to the log? I have numerous instances where this could be useful. Thanks!

I had the same experience! Couldn't add it manually, had to use start linking. KPL's always keep it interesting.

Mike, I am sorry I didn't answer you on that one. I did try that link a couple of times, even early on, and it didn't seem to have any effect. I wish I knew what caused it to collapse? I don't remember minimiizing the window but, I suppose I could have? One good think came out of all of this, I now know a lot more about Vista that I did before... lol I have been experimenting to see if I can get it to happen again and I can't duplicate it yet. I get some weird things happening but the console always comes back. I have tried to get the web page to open up minimized and I can't even make that happen. I made a shortcut to iexplorer and set it to open minimized and it refuses to. Weird? Another strange thing is, If I minimize both the explorer window and the isy console and then close them using the right click. When I start it up again, the console window actually opens maximized. Go figure! Anyway, Vista seems to work pretty well for me. I haven't really had any problems until this happened. If I can figure out how it happened I'll let everyone know. Thanks! -jeff
