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.

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.

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.

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

Paul, if he has a ZWave ISY wouldn’t a Aeotec MultiSensor6 work well for this?

Zone B=Stereo

Check into IFTTT using web hooks to do what you want. Maybe a MP3 Sparkfun device via a distributed audio or AVR? Touchdown, trigger the MP3, turn on Amp, play sound.

All valid concerns however if you have a security system and or other notifications this greatly minimizes the risks. IIRC the homelink in any car would need to be on or accessory on. Second I personally always lock and secure my cars when they are parked either in my driveway or garage regardless. That said with everything there are risks, even anything automated.

Did things freeze up or??? Maybe pickup a Webswitch from Digital Loggers. It has an auto ping feature (easy to setup in the config page) so if the router or ISY doesn’t work (can’t be pinged) you can remotely/manually turn off and on the outlet. You could port forward to the outlet and reset things yourself if needed too as long as the modem is online. Another idea is scheduled reboots of both maybe once a week just in case it can be pinged but is still frozen. Just a few ideas. Depends how important it is, visit frequency etc. Web Power Switch Pro https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0765NCB2L/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_YY46AbHKQRFYB

Insteon vs Homelink https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?share_fid=23986&share_tid=21419&url=https%3A%2F%2Fforum%2Euniversal-devices%2Ecom%2Findex%2Ephp%3F%2Ftopic%2F21419-Insteon-vs-Homelink&share_type=t

Do your cars have a HomeLink button in the mirror unused? You could use that linked to a garage door sensor with IOLink. Make a program that when the I/O link is toggled it unlocks the door. Look for my thread about arming Elk with HomeLink. There’s an archived thread here. Same concept.

Unfortunately you need to have the HD hub to talk to the blinds.m, which is proprietary. Also to be fair you need to have network resources on the ISY as well, either purchased outright via the module or included with the ISY portal.

Aeotec MultiSensor 6 picks up my Italian Greyhounds (13lbs) just fine. I use it to light the way for them at night to be able to go outside.

I had a pool, I also have a life, job, family and obligations. The evaporation pool water in certain areas could be gallons a day. Sitting there with a 3/4” hose filling it back up it tedious and can become time-consuming. Maybe I was lucky my “filler” never got stuck ON but the float with auto fill worked perfectly. The negative of course is IF the filler ever got stuck ON, but like I said above most pools have drains that are larger then the water filler, so worst case I would waste water. Also the drains are normally installed higher than the fill level of the pool. Typically you set the pool about 1” lower than the drains. This way you could visibly see if the pool is too full, alerting you something maybe wrong. If the filler is stuck ON it won’t overflow the pool and second if there is heavy rain the drains should keep up. I had my home/pool for six years and NEVER had one problem with the filler and float combo. My drains were connected to the main sewer drains and went out to the street. My home was built in 2006 in a new development. I understand some don’t always have this luxury. Because my pool was “in ground” at the house level we also had a large full length “deco drain” running in before the back of our home so all water from the pool/rain would not collect and drain out as well to avoid flooding the house. Super cool system. IMHO at the end of the day this was the proper setup. The only thing I would have added was a notification that the filler has been on for too long just to be in the loop, but never got to it. The house was also already built so I didn’t have as many options as a new construction home. However when I took off on vacation or long extended periods when I wasn’t needing the pool, like winter, I would just turn the auto filler off. Simple. Sometimes you don’t need to over think it and get crazy. Edit: Here’s photos of my backyard and pool right before I moved out.

True but most pools (if done correctly) have drains for overflow. Usually a pool refill valve will not fill faster than the drain(s). Now hopefully those drains are done properly, but that’s another issue. The key here is knowing if the refiller is stuck ON. If everything is setup properly you may never know.

Wouldn’t a better approach be to add a float valve and just add water when it drops automatically? I had this on my pool and it was kind of a set and forget type of thing.

Sorry good catch. That was supposed to be his 10min wait for the dog to go out. Typo ??‍♂️ Edit: My OCD would make the time first then the door violated for the IF portion. ?

Could ZWave not be reporting status properly? I don’t have ZWave so I am unsure. Edit: IE it’s showing the switch on&off in the admin console right?

Take out the sunset and sunrise for now and test. Does that work? Try just a simple program. Also your Elk module is indeed working? You have imported all the zones? When you open the door does the zone show violated in the ISY? Edit: also make sure your time is set properly on the ISY, your location too and it shows the correct sunrise/sunset in the top bar.

I am sorry I do not have any ZWave devices or switches but try this... If Elk Zone 'Deck Door' is Violated And Set 'ZW 003 Multilevel Switch' Off And From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) Then Set 'ZW 003 Multilevel Switch' On Wait 10 minutes Else Set 'ZW 003 Multilevel Switch' Off (If the above conditions are not met then the light is off) FWIW "repeat" line goes at the top and repeats everything under the command. If you need repeats you should be looking at your network closer too as they really shouldnt be needed. You dont need to use variables for this either its just complicating things. Also you can make a new "FOLDER" and call it Sunset to Sunrise and make an IF statement on it to run just those programs inside it during that timeframe. Sunset to Sunrise Folder Conditions for 'Sunset to Sunrise' If From Sunset To Sunrise (Next Day) Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. I am not 100% perfect on programs and still need help time to time myself, but this should hopefully get you going.

What’s your ISY program look like? Right click on the program and copy to clipboard and paste here. Are you using “ELSE”? Also you need to use “Elk” in the program drop downs and when “X zone is violated”.

Bummer, full ON happened again tonight on a three way switched scene. [emoji848][emoji36]

Yeah that’s not it. Tonight I set my lamps to 40% via MobiLinc and it did the FAST ON. I am not certain the ramp rate increase is the solution either.

You a goofball! [emoji13] It doesn’t happen all the time but every once in a while it happens. It happened tonight but I just tried to replicate it and can’t get it to happen. I think Stu’s made a good point even if he didn’t mean too, lol. I will try and increase the ramp rate speed to make it slower to see if that helps. Maybe there’s a small micro delay and even though the ISY sees the right level it’s then thinking the button is still being pressed due to some type of lag in the system power line due to the LEDs. Making it slower might help resolve this.
