Open Event Viewer to Level 3, activate the scene several times then "Copy to Clipboard" (clipboard icon, right of center bottom toolbar) and paste into message (you can paste it into code window by clicking angle brackets <> in message toolbar.) Jon...

To configure Mobilinc use these setting... Host Type = ISY User Name = Portal Username (email address) Password = Portal Login Password Local http://= blank Local Port = 80 Secure https:// = my.isy.io Secure Port = 443 Connection Method = Secure Connection Jon...

I'm accessing it on Samsung S4 running Android 5.0.1 Jon...

You have to "Save Changes" after deleting a program... Jon...

There it is I was only looking on the home page... Thanks, Jon...

Connected Home really helps out using similar and long device names e.g., "family room fan" vs. "family room fan light" but I've noticed in my Alexa app (alexa.amazon.com) using Connected Home the commands aren't logged as they are when using the Skill. This isn't a problem so much as a curiosity right now and I'm wondering why this is? Jon...

You should probably post this under "Questions and Answers" but there is a correct order to power cycling PLM. Unplug power from PLM and ISY. Wait 30 seconds then power up PLM. After PLM initializes apply power to ISY. Safe Mode indicates ISY can't communicate with PLM so other cause might be connection (remove and reinsert both ends or replace cable.) Also, you should show a green light on PLM. If this fails very likely so has PLM... Jon...

The difference in scene control vs. program control is that in using a scene the devices talk directly to one another bypassing ISY, and so I would suspect the problem might be in the program. The motion sensor's setting also play a part when using programs.. I tend to check "Sensing Mode" and "On Commands Only" and avoid using "Control Off" in the program. Post your program and you'll get feedback on issues that might help. Jon...

[35 99 CD 0 ] Failed to add device, reason 3 <<-- reason 3 = lack of communication 35.99.CD-->ISY/PLM Group=0, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=3 <<-- Hops Left=3 indicates good communication These traces contradict one another so it could be you're too close to the PLM. Try moving it away and see if that helps. Jon...

Thanks... I'll check out Eventghost Jon...

Well that's interesting! Now I need to find a way for a Tasker like app to run on my Windows machine and play over my sound system Jon...

Don't you have to open the notification to receive the voice message? Jon...

I looked into this some time back for sound notifications for ISY events and about the same time learned about Amazon Echo and it's Skills development program and right now am in anticipation for push notifications to Echo. I'm hoping this will evolve with/from the "Connected Home" project but I haven't heard of acceptance yet. I know they're considering it cause the last response was late December sorta indicating this. Jon...

What UI version are you using? (Help > About) Also.. you might think about updating your firmware to 4.4.2 Jon...

[19 89 DF 0 ] Failed to add device, reason 3 <<-- reason 3 = lack of communication... You could try plugging it into the same outlet as the PLM (with extension cord) or somewhere near on the same circuit and see if that helps. Jon...

As per LeeG's reply #8 do the event viewer trace and post the results. Jon...

I'm not so sure the IOLink would work well with the MP3 board cause it requires 3.3-5v for the trigger. There are 16 channel relay boards that might work better and allow you to use all channels. Fun idea though! BTW.. there is also a wav board available. Jon...

I'm anxious to see how the connected home interface will perform but for now I'm using Trigger I know things will improve because voice control seems so intuitive with HA and so I believe it'll become a major means for control (I'm thinkin' of the Jetson's here Jon...

Using ISY Portal and the Alexa Skill there's no way around "Alexa, tell Issy to" however, if you use the hue emulator on Rpi you can use the phrase Alexa, turn on... Instruction for the emulator is found on this thread but you have to dig through it to get updated instructions. Jon...

Hey Cormacs, Good to hear you figured it out and thanks for the update! Jon...

Yes, I would say that survival is what life is all about.. question is.. what does that entail? Seems obvious we're within an evolving sphere with a beginning and I suspect an end so what's the importance of all that which occurs in the middle Jon...

They say.. no news is good news? Jon...

Here's a link to someone who had the same issue. I'm assuming you have a 99i because of the older firmware. Jon...

I think remote controlled door locks are an eyesore and for that reason alone have no interest in one aside from the bother of having to replace the batteries at regular intervals (and ya have to carry a key around anyway when they do die in order to get back in.) Jon..

Anytime the programs conditions are re-evaluated, wait and/or repeat are halted and the program either re-executes then or runs else. Jon...
