Hi Michel, I was not prompted to accept a certificate and when I checked under "view Certificates" I could not find one listed as UDI anything. Seems to me that some time ago I got a pop up window when logging into my console indicating something had expired and did I want to let program run anyway, I think I said yes. That message has not popped up again since. If it matters, I am running Firefox for a browser. Thank you, Jim

Hi. As my system has been working fine, I have not done any upgrades since I installed my ISY99, presently running 2.7.15. I don't remember if I installed a SSL certificate or not.. is there a way to check? Do I need to worry about it with my software rev? I did an ISY backup, is there anything else I need to do before I upgrade? Thank you, Jim

Michel, Do you have any suggestions on how to make it last?? As you can tell I don't really understand all this network stuff. Jim

It is now working.. I did some more playing with IP addresses, I had the ISY Gateway address set to the Router WAN Gateway address and the ISY DNS set to the same thing. That was how I had it set up getting the errors when I first posted. I then changed the ISY DNS to router LAN IP address. That is when I was getting the errors saying that the NTP server was not responding. I just now changed the ISY Gateway address to be the same as the DNS address.. it seems to be working. I get no errors and if I manually change the time in the ISY then select SYNCHRONIZE NOW, then the ISY time changes to the present time. Thank you for your guidance, Jim

Rand, It does list the Default Gateway as being 192.168.10.1, I wonder if there is something configured wrong in my router. I have an IP camera that uploads to the internet with no issue, and I can access the camera directly from any computer anywhere. So something outside of normal internet access is working through the router. I will check to see what parameters are in the camera. Jim

Michel, What do you mean, does my email work? My regular email works fine, I have not set up my ISY to send any email. Here is what I got for a response to the nslookup command. ------------------------------------------------------------- *** Can't find server name for address 192.168.10.1: non-existand domain *** Default servers are not available Server: UnKnown Address 192.168.10.1 Non-authoritative answer: Name: pool.ntp.org Addresses: 208.75.88.4, 66.96.99.10, 69.93.111.178 ------------------------------------------------------------- I tried both the 208... and the 66... addresses and I received the same error, "NTP server not responding" Thank you for your help.

Michel, I am learning slowly... My ISY is set to a static address, I found that my DNS server was set to the Gateway address. I did some digging and found my routers address. I entered that address for the DNS address, it looks like it is now trying to access the NTP server, but now I get the following error. [-60006] NTP server not responding [n/a] I am guessing that either the server address I have is not correct, or the server is actually down. I have the following address; pool.ntp.org Thank you for your help. Jim

Michel, Thank you for your reply... to answer all your questions.. I have no clue. Guess I have some research on my router and networks to do. Jim

My ISY time is drifting and I want to have it get it's time from an internet site. I selected ENABLE, the ntp server is POOL.NTP.ORG, when I select "synchronize now" I get the following error message. [-60001] NTP server DNS errror [POOL.NTP.ORG] Any ideas on what I might need to change to get this to work? The other issue I have is trying to change the NTP server. When typing in a new server... before I can select the SAVE button.. it reverts back to the previous server!!?? The only way I can change the server it to change a few letters at a time and then quickly selecting the SAVE button. If it matters, my ISY is version 2.7.15 Thank you- Jim

Hmmm... not sure what you mean by "(Then Path)" I have done a tiny bit of simple X-10 programming and most of this stuff is WAY over my head. The programming power in the ISY is more than I will ever learn... thank you for your help in getting started. Jim

kingwr- Thank you for taking the time to try and explain this in all the detail you did. I have read it about 5 times... I think it is starting to make some sense. Lots of subtleties to all this. I am off to try your suggestions... will report back tomorrow.

Thanks for the reply... but to be honest, I have no idea what you mean when you say "one latching a second executing program". I have zero programming experience, I am just stumbling my way through this. Jim

I have a quick programming question. What I am trying to do is, if garage door opens between sunset and sunrise, lights come on in the house and stay on for 20 minutes then go off. I wrote the following program and the light turns on, but it does not go off after 20 min... what did I do wrong? Thanks-- Jim If Status 'Garage-House-Sensor' is On And Status 'LR Table Lamp' is Off And From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) Then Set 'LR Table Lamp' On Wait 20 minutes Set 'LR Table Lamp' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Hi, What I want to happen is, pressing 'scene D' button will open or close garage door. I wrote a program so that if 'scene D' gives an ON or OFF signal.. the door will activate. Light on 'scene D' button to indicate if door is open or closed, light on equals door open. This all now works, thanks to some suggestions from folks here. But the light also goes on/off with the pressing of the 'scene D' button. So if door is open, light is on, I press the 'scene D' button and the door starts to close.. but light goes off immediately, not waiting until the door actually closes. KPL OFF light illumination- I read what little info that came with the KPL, I have read the Wiki, but I can't find any info on dimming the ON/OFF buttons on the KPL. I did find out how to dim the Scene buttons using the ISY, but not the ON/OFF buttons. Since I have the ISY now doing what I want it to.. maybe it would be more appropriate to ask over on the Insteon forum about KPL setup. Jim

Hi, Thanks for all your help, I have been reading and reading, still have 2 questions. I have a 6 button KPL, ISY99 and the Smarthome garage door sensor with I/O Link kit. Adding the scene, I now have the garage door button, "scene D" lighting when the door is open, off when closed... this is what I want. But the light on the button also goes on and off with button presses. My question is, is there a way to set up that button light so it does not respond to button presses, only to the garage sensor? The other question is, is there a way to reduce the brightness of the OFF button on the KPL. I found how to adjust the brightness of the 'scene' buttons, but I haven't found a way to adjust the brightness of the ON and OFF buttons. Keep in mind, all my programming has been done via the ISY, I have not done any manual linking yet. TIA- Jim

Hi, Well... I put the KPL and the garage door sensor in a scene.. and it works.. I have no idea why... but it does work. Thank you- Jim

Michel, the only issue is... I have no idea what you are talking about... or how to do it. I meant it when I said this programming stuff is totally foreign to me. I have made a few 'programs' but so far I am clueless setting up 'scenes'. Back to the Wiki. Jim

Hi, I just received my ISY/Insteon items, I managed to get most hooked up and running the way I want, much easier than the x-10 system I had. I have a 6 button KPL and I am trying to get the light on one of the buttons to reflect the status of the garage door sensor. I can get the button in question to open and close the door... but I can't figure out how to get the button lamp to reflect sensor status. The ISY is seeing the change in sensor state. I did a search.. didn't find anything to help. I read through some of the programming examples... all I can say is; this programming stuff is totally foreign to me. Any guidance you could provide would be greatly appreciated. TIA- Jim PS- Is there an easy way to copy/paste my 'program' so I can post what I have tried?
