Yeah but what happens if you sit at the front door chatting with someone more than 5 mins? Maybe it would be better if I add lines for the lights with an "and" in the "IF statement" so that if the main lights in the scene are dimmed then the sunset scene just doesnt run? I may give it a try.

Can anyone help me with the program of sunset or disregarding scenes changing? IE I have a sunset scene - this runs similar to the MS for dark days posted by another user or by time of day. However I may turn on lights and adjust them before the sunset becomes in effect. So for example I maybe will have on an office light, then sunset in turned on and my office light goes off. Or maybe a light in the dining room or bedroom is set lower dimming level then the sunset scene turns on and brightens it. Is there anyway to adjust to leave the lights at the set scenes if they are dim or on? In the summertime hours its stays lighter longer so like right now I will be watching TV with my "TV Mode Lighting Scene" and then sunset turns on brighter so I need to hit the button again to put my lighting back into TV Mode. Kind of annoying. Can someone help me setup a better way?

I do mine a bit differently. I have mine on a LONG timer but also when switched off they switch back on for another 10 mins then off again. Just sayin...for those times you could use a bit longer for lets say, guests.

So I got frustrated with this but circled back to it today and got it working with the garage receiver and an IOLInc. I probably should have just bought a "HomeLink Receiver" instead of the MyQ Security+ Liftmaster 635LM Receiver. I still may as it required one extra step of using the HomeLink converter remote (which I had) to convert the Security+ remote code to a HomeLink one for programming the HomeLink buttons in the car. So on the I took the two connections from the Liftmaster and plugged them into the "Ground" and "Sense" connections on the IOLinc. Under the IOLinc options I selected "Momentary C: Trigger based on sensor input". I then tested to make sure the "sense" on the IOLinc worked and it did. I then wrote the following two programs: Program #1 HomeLink Arm Alarm - [iD 0027][Parent 0007] If Elk Area 'Home' 'Armed State' is Disarmed And Status 'GDR-Sensor' is On Then Set Elk Area 'Home' Arm Away Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Program #2 HomeLink Disarm Alarm - [iD 002A][Parent 0007] If Elk Area 'Home' 'Armed State' is Armed Away And Status 'GDR-Sensor' is On Then Set Elk Area 'Home' Disarm Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I tried to get it to HOLD "ON" then turn off but the ISY doesn't seem auto query the sensor to realize its back to the "Off" after my set time limit and using Momentary A so I went this route. I do have Pushover sending me notifications when the Alarm is Armed/Disarmed so while its not fool proof I would somewhat know as long as I had my phone. Any thoughts how to strengthen this program or adjustments feel free to post I would love the input. If anyone else is looking to do this, it is possible and hopefully this thread/post will help someone in the future.

No its a wireless alarm sensor that can work with Elk alarm systems via the ISY Elk add-on. However you do need an ELK-M1XRF2H for your Elk alarm. You can then use any of the Honeywell/Ademco 5800 series wireless products with it. For example I have a Honeywell wireless 5809 heat detector in my garage. Now my side gates are fully secured. I am hooked into the UDI "ecosystem" and if I cant get something to work with the ISY I usually don't get it! http://www.security.honeywell.com/hsc/products/intruder-detection-systems/wireless/door-window-sensor/314990.html http://www.elkproducts.com/product-catalog/elk-m1xrf2h-m1-wireless-receiver-for-honeywell-transmitters

Thanks for your help. This was the end result for me if anyone cares. My program: If Elk Zone 'Left Side Gate' is Violated And Elk Zone 'Left Side Gate' is not Normal And Elk Area 'HOME' 'Armed State' is Disarmed Then Set Elk Speak Word 'Left' Set Elk Speak Word 'Side' Set Elk Speak Word 'Gate' Set Elk Speak Word 'Open' Wait 30 seconds Send Notification to 'Pushover' content 'Side Gate Notification' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') My "Side Gate Notification" (Pushover) is set as: URGENT! ${elk.zone.#.name} OPEN ${alert.date} at ${alert.time} I have an Elk speaker so as soon as the gate is opened it tells me "Left side gate open". Then if the gate is not shut in the 30 seconds then I get a Pushover notification. Works perfect and exactly what I wanted, thanks larryllix!

Got it. I use folders now but didn't know about the parenthesis. As for the notification why take it out of the then section and separate it?

So this did work: If ( Elk Zone ‘Left Gate’ is Violated And Elk Zone ‘Left Gate’ is not Normal ) And Elk Area ‘Home’ 'Armed State' is Disarmed Then Wait 30 seconds Send Notification to 'Pushover' content 'Side Gate Open' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') But I will revise to your new program and test. Is "folders" what the parenthesis are called? I need to look up how these are used in the wiki

Thank you very much for the help, will try this out. So I would put "only if the Elk alarm is unarmed" as the first line in the IF section? I don't want a notification if this happens when the alarm is triggered, already get a notification for them.

I have two side gates with Outdoor Honeywell 5816OD Sensors on them. I want to receive a notification if the gates are left open for more than a minute (when unarmed) and need a bit of clarification how to do this. I was thinking I could do this easy as one program but I don't think it will work. Would this be best for a variable? Like a program that sets the variable to 1 and 0 based on the zone violation from the ELK (1=Opened/Violated and 0=Closed/Normal) - then program 2 sees variable 1 and waits then checks to see what the variable is after the time frame needed and sends a notification if its not back to 0? How would I do this? Thanks in advance for the help.

Who needs Apple HomeKit for Siri or Mobilinc voice control if this works? This will fill the voice control the gap I really am interested in. Sometimes I have my hands full and need a light turned on so this would be great.

Black and Decker has the Freewire but now your back to X10 and possibly flakey system again. In the past I had one to do something (forget now) then gave it away to someone here on the forum. As for the 635LM on the Elk relay its always N/O - so hoping that it would be sensitive enough to see the trigger and work. Its not too expensive so I may take Xathros advice and try that.

You know Elk has a relay board (924) I was thinking about picking up and then see if that would work with a zone and directly arm/disarm the system. http://www.elkproducts.com/product-catalog/elk-924-sensitive-relay

Sorry Im on 8.1.1 and cant upgrade as there is no jailbreak. I need jailbreak for hotspot on my grandfathered unlimited data plan. Otherwise hotspot via ATT I lose unlimited data and pay more per month. Guess I just stop being a tightwad and pay Mobilinc $30 for the year so I can have the icon on my today screen and hope something happens in a year that changes it. IOLinc instructions say not to feed more than 5V into it and I think the 635LM is 14V

If you look at the thread url I posted in my first post this looks like it was possible with an IOLinc. As for arming, I was going to use variables for arm/disarm. You dont think that would work? Arm set variable 1, if variable 1 set to 0 and disarm...no?

Still seems like a bit of a hassle. Wish there was an easier way. Now this means I have to buy another thing to try. I wonder if a HomeLink garage door receiver with an IOLinc would be easier.

So I would put the micro module inside the electrical box then use the "sense" wire to control the ISY program? The frustrating thing about this whole thing is how something that is seems so easy to be able to be done has been such a PITA! All I wanna do is when I leave the house I want to arm/disarm the alarm easily. I can do it via the mobilinc app but it doesnt handoff from wifi to lte very well so there is delays. I have to turn on my phone, unlock it, swipe up to turn off wifi, open the app and then arm the alarm. I could get a mini insteon remote but then thats another thing to get lost/broken in the car. I thought about an app that an icon on the today screen but you have to pay for mobilinc connect for that feature (I dont need the others) or using ctrlhome but loose my jailbreak as it only works with iOS 8.3, which I like for a hotspot on my iphone with my grandfathered unlimited plan. So I thought the Liftmaster 635LM with homelink would work but the 636LM doesnt play well with the IOLinc route I was planning. I have an RTI XP6 processor on my remote control system with relays but again issues with the 635LM not doing a traditional open/close. IFTTT maybe somehow? A "DO" button? A url shortcut on my homescreen or using the launcher app? Any help/ideas would be appreciated. Not too concerned about the issue of it being "secure" as I do have PUSHOVER notifications whenever the system is armed/disarmed I know.

Lets see right now I have a extra PLM, 8 On/Off modules, 2 LampLinc modules, a micro module, 2 2477Ds, 2 2477Ss, 1-8 Button and 1-6 button kepypadlincs, 1 door sensor, a motion sensor and an IOLinc. Am I obsessed? I think I maybe. Most of these are backups if one fails.

Very interesting product. Thanks for sharing.

I am going to wait for a bit and see what Wes/InsteonNut has up his sleeve (if anything). If Mobilinc is improved and has Siri integration then not sure what else the HomeKit SmartHub brings to the table that the ISY doesnt already do. I still see hope with the ISY and Mobilinc. Interesting times ahead. I would love to see The Internet of Things (IoT) become the main protocol and everyone else interact with them, but we all know thats not going to happen. Each company (Apple, Google, Smarthome) wants you locked into their system, but who knows Im not a dev so it maybe possible down the road.

So are you saying use an actual Homelink "Remote Lamp Control"? (https://secure.homelink.com/remote-lamp-control-detail) Then using the Homelink button in the car that would turn on/off the remote lamp control, but how would the ISY know the status so you could write the rule?

So can anyone help me specifically with this? IE Click the HomeLink button in the car and arm/disarm the alarm? Cant figure out how to do this with the Liftmaster 635LM. The 635LM is being used solely for the purpose of Homelink to arm/disarm. I still have another HomeLink button to control my garage door via the HomeLink Repeater Kit https://secure.homelink.com/homelink-repeater-kit-detail- I thought using a 635LM I could trigger an monetary open/close (or on/off) that the IOLinc or something else could identify to then trigger a program.

Check out something like SnapAVs "auto heal" function on their WattBoxes. The WattBox pings the ISY IP and can't "see it" (IE the ISY is not responding via the IP) it will auto reboot the outlet by itself. Theres also a free app (OvrC)or direct via the web that allows you to connect remotely to the WattBox and reset any of the outlets you want saving you from rolling out a truck to the customers home. Feel free to ask me if you have any additional questions answered. SnapAV products can only be sold by dealers though. Panamax and their bluebolt products have similar features just not sure about the auto heal. You can also get automated emails/notifications sent to you per customer before they even call to fix them yourself automatically saving time and energy. This is not an end all solution as you need to find out why the ISY is freezing up but its possible it could be a nice help on future installs you do as failsafe.

An RTI remote system in your home with an XP Processor I find this best handled on the remote side not the ISY side making it a cleaner and more stable connection. Also FWIW I have a lot of experience with SnapAV Matrix Switches, so wanted to point out if there is a power outage on the Matrix Switch then you may need to reboot the ISY and the Matrix switch sometimes doesn't "disconnect" properly on loss of power. Sometime to test and try to make sure if all works.

My understanding is the HomeLink works with the Liftmaster 635LM. Then connect the Liftmaster to a IOLinc to get the "message" (on/off commands?) to the ISY which I can use to create my program? Am I missing something here? How would the ISY get the Liftmaster messages without an IOLinc installed?
