  1. Let less secure apps access your gmail account https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en

    You can use a alarm sensor too with Elk and module but thats only if you have Elk alarm and only want status. That said if you want to trigger scenes or programs on status thats a way to go. No control of the door but don’t most cars have HomeLink buttons in the rear view mirror head visor?

    A simple search for Polyglot, MyQ, v5 fw, etc on the forum and UDI wiki is all you need to do.

    You have to use the MyQ Nodeserver with Polyglot and v5 fw. Otherwise theres no other options at this time.
  5. You using gmail? If so you have to go in and allow for less secure apps.
  6. Could always tell the new owners its an “advanced” or “installer only” system and they sign off on all responsibility and acknowledge this. Then you could tell then if they wish to keep it they can hire you at $100+ an hour (in half hour increments) to help and maintain it. Only if that’s convenient for you though. Then you could remote login and make changes by tossing a cheap headless PC stick in there. [emoji6]Otherwise they sign off on everything. Not everyone is dumb and some people can learn. I live in Seattle and theres plenty of tech savvy people in this area. Some don’t want to be bothers but other will take the time to learn. At the end of the day I just would make sure everything is 100% clear and in writing.
  7. AFAICT theres a few ENS models. Hope the IOLinc setup works for you.
  8. Well cant you could turn down the sensitivity? Also some cameras have a box you can draw a specific area for motion to be noticed at. Unfortunately cant help you more as you didn’t share more about the cameras or NVR. If its a true IP system change the camera out for a Hikvision or similar with better motion detection and/or features. Last ditch effort would be does the NVR have alarm connections? Plug an IOLinc by it and when the switch is triggered, trigger the IOLinc that triggers the NVR alarm and snap the pic. There could be a delay and miss the snap though.
  9. Most cameras and NVRs allow to email snapshots on motion. No need to get crazy with ISY/Insteon to complicate things. I know for a fact my Hikvision NVR and cameras (in standalone) both have this as a standard feature. If you share the NVR model number and maybe a camera we might be able to find the user manual online.
  10. Can you answer a question? If I login to the ISY portal, then go to IFTTT/Webhooks, then enter a name and device, then save, once saved clicking on the blue arrow box it gives you a URL. If I use this URL directly in a browser shouldn't it directly trigger the action on my ISY?
  11. FWIW you can make a folder in the programs area and have it run everything inside during a specific time - sunset to sunrise. So the folder can have outside patio lights turn on off etc too. Edit: Or as Larry would say in Canadian “it helps keep things organised” [emoji23]
  12. Seems these displays are popping up everywhere. https://www.slashgear.com/archos-hello-5-7-10-bring-full-android-to-smart-displays-30543858/
  13. This would compliment the Elk module nicely.
  14. I guess it depends on the way you interpret the post/request and how you want to do it. I do agree with you and would not recommend using Insteon or ZWave as a security sensor or device. That said we could all forget to lock the door(s) (manually) but still arm the security system, so I feel this is more of a “backup” just in case one forgets to rather than a mission critical thing. Commercial use - strike to ELK relay to the M1 board, it’s not a zone. The door sensor is the zone.
  15. If he has the ELK module and ISY ZWave, I was thinking he could have a program that said IF the door is unlocked and ELK is armed, then disarm. Essentially never being armed. Also a push notification to a cell phone or other verbal feedback from the ELK Echo speaker that the door is unlocked or something, X zone, front door needs to be locked. Whatever works for the user based on the available speech commands. I don’t have the list memorized[emoji22] BUT you are also correct without those two items you would need a electric door strike instead and make an Elk rule to always lock the door via arming modes desired using the built in relay on the M1 board. Which can have drawbacks too, ie the deadbolt being in unlocked position will never lock. Edit: Also how about reversing my thought to when the alarm is armed then run a program to autolock the ZWave door? That may also accomplish the desired result? Get CRAZY and do a second program to query status after X minutes of arming just to double verify or use variables.
  16. Do you have the ELK ISY Module? If so you could make it a program to not arm if the ZWave door lock is unlocked. You might want a push notification too to remind you if your driving away. [emoji16]
  17. Just tested MobiLinc here and works for me. Try emailing@insteonnut / MobiLinc or posting in the third party section on the forum for help troubleshooting as you’ll have more luck.
  18. Well that was quick anyhow. Heads-up: 2FA provider Duo Security to be acquired by Cisco (ugh) - Ars Technicahttps://apple.news/Ax2IdQ-koTp6yaDV87rcq_Q Seems Cisco thinks it’s worth while. I get the licensing fee aspect though.
  19. I heard it from “good authority” he and his wife like good quality Cabernet Sauvignon’s. [emoji2]
  20. @bmercier @Michel Kohanim Maybe take a look at DUO.com for 2FA integration, then let the users signup for a free account to not incur any fees on the UDI side.
  21. I agree 100% with you. However as a company it should be added because this is becoming standard practice. I for one and I am sure most here don’t use the same passwords so for me this feature would be well welcomed.
  22. So I finally left the house and everything worked as smooth as butta. However no notifications were received from Locative, BUT maybe that’s bc they shut their servers down which also stopped notifications? Not a issue, Pushover worked as expected through the ISY Portal. Not sure why geofencing with MobiLinc via variables stopped working, however this solution works perfectly. I asked to be a beta tester for the new MobiLinc and MobiLinc Connect so we will see if it resolves things. I want to do a side by side comparison of features vs price for MobiLinc Connect and the ISY Portal.
  23. If notifications are important you can use Pushover with ISY. Then when you leave IF Locative changes as expected then just use Pushover to notify you via a program. Or you can use one of the other notification services. I recently reduced the amount of notifications on my devices because I seemed to get flooded with them. Now I only important things like my alarm being armed and disarmed when I leave. I even set that notification to a special tone so I don’t even need to look at the phone.
  24. Didn’t work in safari, just brings up a blank page. No errors. Copied the link from within Safari in the iPhone too. No notifications from Locative. MobiLinc is working fine with the ISY portal and I can control my lights on WiFi and LTE. Strange eh? Edit: OK the ISY Portal was showing me out. I sent the copied “in” link via Safari as suggested, refreshed the ISY portal webpage and it’s now showing me “in” and “in” on my ISY. Not sure what’s going on, still zero notifications from Locative though. I’ll play around and test more. MobiLinc geofence stopped working for me when I switched to the ISY portal and I would like to have this work again. So nice to leave and the arm system arm and disarm when you get home.
  25. I tried to do this and I see everything in my ISYas expected from the wiki, however when I hit the test button on my iPhone I don't see the status change in the ISY nor do I get a fail or succeed notification on the iPhones. Tried on two different iPhones, the ISY shows "false" still when doing a query. Guess I will have to try when I leave to see if it actually works. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY_Portal_Node_Server_Occupancy_and_Locative_app_Instructions
