Man, what do I need to change on my programming? Something is wrong I guess for the jumper settings I have maybe? Anyone care to tell me?

I put the new setting in with the new battery on one of my MS in the front and it is not functioning properly now. It sees because the visitor alert I have made that flashes lights when someone comes to my porch flashed the lights in my house but no outside porch light came on. I will have to look at the programming.

I put the new setting in with the new battery on one of my MS in the front and it is not functioning properly now. It sees because the visitor alert I have made that flashes lights when someone comes to my porch flashed the lights in my house but no outside porch light came on. I will have to look at the programming.

I put timeouts a .5, Led at 25, darkness sens. 35, sensing mode unchecked, on only mode checked, night mode checked. Is this right?

I don't have it in a scene. I just have a program for it. Here is my program for this. What would I need to add to disable it to get the lights to stay on? If From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) And Control 'MS Front Porch' is switched On And Status 'Living Room Front Porch' is not On And Program '2.Front Porch Light on 20 minutes' is False Then Run Program '2.Front Porch Light on 20 minutes' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'Living Room Front Porch' On Wait 20 minutes Set 'Living Room Front Porch' Off Run Program '2.Front Porch Light on 20 minutes' (Else Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Turns the porch light on for 3 minutes. A program is used such that the 'Wait' is not reinitialized by new events triggering 'If conditions'. If Control 'Living Room Front Porch' is switched On Then Stop program '1.Front Porch Motion Sensed' Enable Program '1.Front Porch Motion Sensed' Run Program '2.Front Porch Light on 20 minutes' (Else Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') This program returns control to the motion sensor and reinitializes the conditional logic flags. Run Program (Else Path) to reset the motion on/off flag. If Control 'Living Room Front Porch' is switched Off Then Stop program '1.Front Porch Motion Sensed' Disable Program '1.Front Porch Motion Sensed' Run Program '2.Front Porch Light on 20 minutes' (Else Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Double tap (Off)disables the motion sensor such that the porch light stays off until the switch is manually turned on again. Purpose of the 'Run Program'... (Else Path) is to reset the motion on/off flag. If Time is Sunrise + 30 minutes Then Set 'Living Room Front Porch' Off Run Program '2.Front Porch Light on 20 minutes' (Else Path) Enable Program '1.Front Porch Motion Sensed' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Turns off the porch lights 30 minutes after dawn and resets the programs flags in case the lights were manually overridden and left on all night.

So, should sensing mode be checked? Not quite sure? Should on only be checked? Should Night mode be checked?

What does a person need to add in the programming to get it to bypass any program so your light will stay on if you want it to. My front MS won't stay on if I turn it on.

If I put the LED down to 0 or 10 or something like that would it cut down on battery usage? Should my low bat node say on?

What about the jumper settings? No, my low bat node has always said off. What is your program in isy like?

I just use the isy and the ms. I am really having a problem with 2 ms in the backyard and getting a program to run them both and not have the batteries run down so fast. I just need to get what someones settings are that have this same scenario.

I understand the manual but I am needing the proper settings so my batteries don't run down in 2 weeks or so.

Rev.2.0

I went into the isy and went into options. I never noticed before that there were some setting for this. Maybe they were not there before but they are there now so I have some questions. Sensing mode - do I want it checked or unchecked? On only mode - checked or unchecked? night mode - checked or unchecked? what does the timeout actually do? LED brightness? I set it to 0 now to help save on battery. darkness sensitivity? what is a good number? So with these things in the isy, what jumper settings do I do on the MS?

I finally got a chance to get to my MS today. TOO busy before. I went to the topic at the bottom by illusion that linked to a test done. I just don't quite understand for sure what the jumpers were set to. I thought there was a picture someplace for this but just can't seem to find it. My MS have not been working for over a month now because they lose battery power so fast. Does anyone know the proper jumper settings to make this work right and also how does this guy set up his isy? He said he had 7 of them. Were any two in the same area like I have? My biggest problem is the time frame. I work on this stuff and get somewhat good at it and then don't do anything with it for a couple of months and forget a bunch of things.

I am watching all of the names from the new kpl go away now and all the old names stay the same.

Thanks. I am doing that now.

I had a KPL go south, my first one but need to ask this question. Is there an easy way to replace it without going through the whole setup? When I right click on either of the KPLs it gives me a choice to replace. My question is how for sure? Say KPL A went bad and I replace with KPL B. THanks.

How do I keep my MS from going through batteries so quickly?

I was having a problem but that was just lack of doing it. It got it going with no problems now. Thanks.

I have a dyndns account so I can access it remotely. So all I would have to do is change it to one of those numbers in between the ones you said and use my dyn account?

Really? So if I went in and changed it to let's say 60000, it will work with that port setting? I was not aware of that. I will try that when I get home. Thanks.

Well, I got it workings. Let's hope it keeps working this time.

Well, I found out it was not 5000 so what port should I use along with the https?

I had my isy setup almost 2 years ago to work over the internet but I had a problem with my router and it erased all the ports and things I had setup. It has been so long I can't remember what to do? Get that. I know it was an https and 5000 but I can't remember exactly what to do? Anyone care to try and help. I have a 2wire router if that helps.

You keep your house set at 82? Holy cow. I would roast.
