Hey Matt, "That new guy" is partially what this forum is all about! Jon...

After operating the devices copy then post back results. No need to keep it open after issuing an on off for a couple devices. Jon...

Look on your router and see if ISY is visible. Recommended network settings are for DHCP and reserve the address in router Jon...

I wasn't familiar with (!=) but <>.. I was reading that as Wrong (bangs) Jon...

Zigbee operates at same frequency as Insteon (915Mhz) but supposedly (pg. 17) doesn't cause interference. If they were to pull the meter they'd have to swap it out and I doubt plug-n-play? Jon...

I'm trying to understand this? Is that the path to hell or a reflection on our political system Jon...

Thanks for the feedback! I still see occasional interest in the emulator and I speculate by the death of the emulator thread most have moved to the portal. Just curious. Thanks again! Jon...

"The REX2 meter provides communication to the two-way Elster 900 MHz EA_LAN and to the ZigBee 2.4 GHz network" I don't know but imagine all of their meters operate on the same frequencies? That said... Insteon operates on 915Mhz and I don't think 900Mhz would interfere. I suspect you have other issues and possibly induced by noise. You might check the circuits the lights are on and see if removing LED bulbs or electronics has positive effect. Also, you can check comms by opening Event Viewer to Level 3, operating the suspect switches in admin console, copy to clipboard (clipboard looking icon) and paste trace into message post. As pointed out by Larry, better solution is to solve the comm issue if possible. Jon...

Have you looked at HAD (Home Automation Dashboard) for ISY? Jon...

Which smart meter did they install? Jon...

One consideration... you might look into wide gap vs standard gap for garage doors? Jon...

The Seco-Larm SM-226L-3Q is a very popular choice and includes both NO and NC contacts. Jon...

I'm curious as to the comparison? I followed the Hue Emulator thread but never installed and now am curious how those who have experience using Connected Home/ISY Skill and the Emulator feel about the two? Jon...

After the update do you still receive PLATFORM_ERRORS—10108 when setting options on the motion sensor? Your secondary switch doesn't do anything other than send a signal to the primary (but only locally not in a program) so you should be adjusting and controlling the scene it's in. As Larry stated the fastest response would be including the motions sensor in a scene but you'd lose control of time periods. You might post your updated programs if you have other questions. Jon...

You don't need a current sensor but could simply wire a relay in line. As for logging run times the concept used in this thread might give insight and continues to develop further into the thread. Jon...

Also, if 37.C3.B2 isn't a motion sensor you might run Event Viewer on it and see how your comms are for that particular wireless device. Hops=0 or 1 indicates poor while Hops=2 or 3 = good. Jon...

The alarm clock that allows "Alexa, set the alarm for 7:30 a.m." so there's already some ability to set an event into the future. Jon...

Thing with Automation is it demands customization and that requires programmings. As Alexa evolves I hope to see many more useful features come out of it... which could include a wait Jon...

Sounds like you need to integrate Connected Home then in Portal assign each device/scene/program a spoken phase in Tools > Connectivity > Amazon Echo. Jon...

Your comms look good > Max Hops=3, Hops Left=3 However your Firmware version and UI version should be the same. I suggest updating firmware to v4.3.26 though you may need to downgrade UI to version 4.0.5 in order to update. Jon...

Glad to hear ya got it straightened out and thanks for the follow up! Jon...

I haven't heard that before! I'll have to look into adding a few dots. Maybe I can get the sound quality a little better Jon...

"Alexa, ask Izzy to turn on media room lamp" is 4 more words than "Alexa, media room lamp on" I really do prefer the response given by the skill though! Jon...

You don't directly move a device into the program tree but rather devices are added to programs. Once a device is linked to ISY a name change is reflected in the program it is included in. If you copy the program (right click > copy to clipboard) then paste into message post it may help. Jon...

PLATFORM_ERRORS—10108 <<-- you might check Firmware and UI versions are the same (admin console > Help > About) The delay may be caused by comm issues. Open Event Viewer to Level 3, activate the motion sensor, copy to clipboard (clipboard looking icon lower toolbar) and paste trace into message post. Also, I find for battery operated devices "status" is unreliable so tend to use "control." Jon...
