Try a resync of UD Mobile. Press on the three little dots at top right and then "Synchronize". This is normal after changes.
-
In the Program content window (top window), click on "Add And (..)" at the bottom right corner. This will add two parenthesis lines to your program. Then move the parenthesis lines up or down to where you want them.

Variables not Changing after update to 5.9.1
Guy Lavoie replied to CoolToys's topic in IoX Program Support
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)". -
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.

In Admin Console, did you just click on "Start Linking" or did you scroll down to "Link a Sensor" -> "Leak Sensor"?

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.

Virtual is a hidden gem among the plugins. I use it for several different things, though not the garage option. Thanks!

Z-Wave, GE Fan Controller, Aeotec Range Extender

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. -
IoX won't allowing Inteon device changes
Guy Lavoie replied to Chevelle's topic in IoX Program Support
Yes, that's right. I think that for the Polisy, the only difference was that the pro version had wifi capability. -
IoX won't allowing Inteon device changes
Guy Lavoie replied to Chevelle's topic in IoX Program Support
Yup that's a classic. It looks like a field label, but it's actually a button to write the new value. -
Next step: Alexa, please remind me your device name for the living room lights? 🤨
-
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.
-
Yes, looks like you're at that point.
-
Have you tried connecting a HDMI monitor to it, so see if anything happens?
-
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.
-
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!
-
Good information. But if the PLM is also able to recognize the reception of an All On command, it would be great if the eisy could look for it as an "If" event, and we could program mitigation commands for the more critical items.
-
You aren't the first...you won't be the last 😁
-
Alternately, click on "Start Linking" (under Link Management at the top in Iox) and then press the link button on the keypad module.
-
My preferred way of doing things like this, where the initial triggering condition will cease to be true, is to set a state variable, and then have a separate program look for the variable to become true, do the wait, turn off the light, and reset the variable. - So your first program would be If garage door is violated Or other trigger... Then Turn light on Then Variable garage_light = 1 - Second program If Variable garage_light = 1 Then Wait 1 minute Then Turn light off Then Variable garage_light = 0
-
No idea about any issues. I haven't used this myself. I just thought I'd mention it because I remember seeing this option
-
In the System configuration options, there is a checkbox that allows you to "Catch up schedules on restart", which you might want to try.
-
Going from a Polisy already using the zmatter board to eisy should be as simple as a backup and restore, because they are both running the same version of IoX. You only really have the enclosure to be concerned with, and convert the PLM to USB (with the serial adapter cable, or get a USB PLM).
-
I've seen mentions of the All On command events, and have experienced one myself. One question comes to mind: since it's a valid Insteon command, is the PLM able to receive and recognize this command? If so, shouldn't IoX give us the capability to look for the reception of an All On command, and allow us to use it as a trigger event, which would allow us to mitigate the effects?
