Similar to centrifigual pumps if you start without a load they can overspeed.. opening/closing dampers, dirty filters and timing of fresh air intake can all affect static pressure. edit.. not to mention use of high efficiency filters. Jon...

I think a common problem with single speed blower installations is the installer leaves the factory settings and doesn't adjust for ESP. Jon...

Like anything else I think this skill is going to evolve and change in time. The importance may be in getting it off the table and onto the floor Jon...

I've heard of air handlers that offer different speeds for "single speed" operation; being designed for use in a range of tonnage size. If your registers seem to blow a lot of air you might look at the prints to see if it's possible and also what speed the installer set it up in. Before changing anything you'd want to calculate needed CFM though (350 to 400 CFM per ton.) Jon...

I'm confused as to the structure of the commands that will be used. Is it.. Alexa, + [invocation Word,] + [Command] ?? e.g., Alexa, "Jarvis," "Kitchen Lights On" Jon...

The basics? - Java Version (if you check your java version online you can see if other older versions are also installed.) - Firmware Version - UI Version - any devices indicating waiting writes (green 1011 icons) or devices that don't communicate (red !)

Invocation Name... How 'bout a generic term like "Control" or "System?" Jon...

I hacked this out quickly using v. 5.02 firmware and haven't tested because I'm in route soon but should give you an idea. (also noticed the 3rd program should have a time value to run in If) It took me 3 "State" variables and 5 programs. I'm probably overlooking something very simple s.1630.time.in.seconds - name whatever but it's value is 59,400 (seconds) (also put value in Init) s.2hrs.before.sunrise.in.seconds s.sunset.in.seconds 1st program sets variable $s.sunset.in.seconds Set Sunset In Seconds - [ID 007B][Parent 00CC] If Time is 4:00:00PM Then $s.sunset.in.seconds = [Sunset Today (seconds)] Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') 2nd Program sets $s.2hrs.before.sunrise.in.seconds Set 2 Hours Before Sunrise - [ID 0010][Parent 00CC] If Time is 4:00:05PM Then $s.2hrs.before.sunrise.in.seconds = $s.sunset.in.seconds $s.2hrs.before.sunrise.in.seconds -= 7200 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') 3rd Program compares the two variables 1630 or 2hrs Before Sunset - [ID 00D2][Parent 00CC] If $s.1630.time.in.seconds > $s.2hrs.before.sunrise.in.seconds Then Disable Program '1630 Outside Lights' Else Disable Program '2hrs Before Sunset Outside Lights' The next two programs run either at 4:30pm and 2 hours before sunset 1630 Outside Lights - [ID 00D3][Parent 00CC] If Time is 4:30:00PM Then Set Scene 'Outside Front Door Light' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') 2hrs Before Sunset Outside Lights - [ID 00DA][Parent 00CC] If Time is Sunset - 2 hours Then Set Scene 'Outside Front Door Light' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Jon...

Spooky

There is discussion on Amazon Echo Developers Forum that indicates push notifications are a consideration in the future. At least anyway replies from Amazon aren't dissuading developers.. Jon...

That's weird.. I think I'd try a factory reset then restore and see it anything changes. Jon...

The method I used was to setup wifi then assign it a static address on the gateway. Didn't bother with any assignment on the pi but here's an article claiming the correct way... Jon...

Wow.. wasn't aware of that.. opens up some different possibilities.. Thanks, Jon...

I guess this means that non-dimming devices (relays) have the ability to send dimming commands? Edit.. didn't see oberkc post #71 but does this apply to other relays as well? Jon...

Great news! Crowning glory on this integration will be when Alexa can notify me when my wife's arriving home Thanks for the update! Jon...

Try kick starting by right clicking on the program and "run then." 8am is the trigger to start. However.. I don't know if you can have a program run itself Jon...

Are your original programs enabled? Jon...

You need to up grade your UI to 4.3.18. Both firmware and UI should be the same version. Jon...

Experiment and see If when you remove these two conditions the program turns false. I suspect the lack of status is showing as off. >Or Status 'Sensors / WaterLeak Sensors / WaterLeak Fish-Dry' is Off > Or Status 'Sensors / WaterLeak Sensors / WaterLeak Kitchen2-Dry' is Off There's a couple good leak sensor programs floating around. Here's one.. Jon...

"the applet runs under the control of the browser whereas the application is stand alone." I favor the application because it seems to operate more reliably. Jon...

I believe this feature is a notification of official release. I don't know that it will automatically upload and install. Jon...

I would love to see some kind of sensitivity adjustment for them. I have a lot of plants on my front patio, some are fairly tall, and if the wind blows it'll set the sensor off. Jon..

I was looking for a way for Echo to announce notifications from ISY but no luck. however... anyone see this yet? (skip 2 min. into it.) Jon...

Ok, so after a little research I've learned this isn't possible with Echo at this time.. if ever a possibility remains to be seen. Jon...

That said.. apparently the app is in testing so it would appear we'll hear results shortly? Jon...
