  1. Have you tested it manually? For example, looking at your state variables in Admin Console and verifying that $sSunrise_Daytime is indeed set to 1, and then right clicking on that program and trying "Run (If)".
  2. It's also important to note that if you were already in the Admin Console when you configured the devices in the plugin, you need to log out of Admin console and then log back in again to properly see the changes.
  3. How did you define it in the plugin? I have several such switches defined, like this:
  4. In Admin Console, did you just click on "Start Linking" or did you scroll down to "Link a Sensor" -> "Leak Sensor"?
  5. It's especially handy in UD Mobile, because it's both a button and status indicator, like a keypadlinc. One main use for it is to trigger programs on scene on/off commands, since IoX doesn't offer "If scene command..." directly. I include a virtual switch in the scene I want to watch and the program triggers on the status change of the virtual switch (which can't ever get turned on manually...). I often use two virtual switches in pairs. One use is to control my garage door opener, and indicate open/close status, even if the opener is controlled manually. Another pair controls/indicates watercop valve atatus. Again for pool solar heat control The only downside is that you don't get control events, only status.
  6. Virtual is a hidden gem among the plugins. I use it for several different things, though not the garage option. Thanks!
  7. Sounds like the devices already belonged to another Z-Wave network, and needed to go through an exclusion procedure in order to allow them to join a new network.
  8. Yes, that's right. I think that for the Polisy, the only difference was that the pro version had wifi capability.
  9. Yup that's a classic. It looks like a field label, but it's actually a button to write the new value.
  10. Next step: Alexa, please remind me your device name for the living room lights? 🤨
  11. Programs and scenes are the best ways to get the most out of keypadlincs and status indications. The only annoying thing when using programs is the slight delay before seeing the backlight update.
  12. Yes, looks like you're at that point.
  13. Have you tried connecting a HDMI monitor to it, so see if anything happens?
  14. I'd try a different power supply. I have a Polisy that would show it had power (one LED would light up) but not power up. It turned out to be a bad power supply.
  15. Finding good, reliable and non conflicting spokens becomes a challenge as the number of them grows. I have over 60 different ones and creating any new ones is getting difficult. Then you gotta remember them all!
