Sub-Routine

Hi osullys, The ISY sends commands to the GlobalCache over your Local Area Network (LAN) via your router. The ISY would need to receive IR commands from the GC. Rand

Hello johnnyt, We have a 30-day money-back on all devices and modules so feel free to experiment. Rand

Yes, unless you plan to upgrade the furnace to a 2-stage, AFAIK. I hope someone else will chime in here. Otherwise it is just setting the heat and cool setpoints. Rand Thank you for that. Just to make it clear (to me). Since I have no need for a humidistat, and I have a single compressor/single stage HVAC system, if I am using an ISY I should have just as much programming flexability with the 1-day as I would with the 7-day programmable. Is that correct?

Hi robertarak, The differences pertain to the number of stages of heating and cooling. The 1 day does not support a humidistat. Rand

Hi johnnyt, ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Clearing_Your_Java_Cache usually rectifies these GUI issues. Rand

If half of your devices won't link it points to an issue with the AccessPoints. If you have the 2413S PLM do you have another RF device which tests correctly as being on the other leg of your power? Sometimes it's as simple as finding someone unplugged an AP. Rand

Hi raaka, The ONLY way to reset an ISY-26 is through Telnet or to use a null modem serial cable and HyperTerminal. ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Advanced_Configuration_Guide ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Quick_Start_Guide If the user/password are not the default admin/admin you will need to reset the password before you can use either.

You are welcome IM, I'm glad it works for you! Rand

Hi Mike, Since you are using Control as a condition the program will start whenever the switch is pressed On. Remaining True will not be an issue. A Query will not change the status of that program. You could add an action that Run (Else) the program which would turn it False but it is not necessary. You may rather look at Last Run Time in the Program Summary to see exactly when it was last triggered. Rand

Hi Mike, I think you have already discovered that the program will run forever after it sees the switch turned on. The not switched Off is indeed the condition that will cause the program to be reevaluated and fall through to the Else actions, of which there are none in this example, so it will effectively quit. The Else actions could include changing the lights back on to their normal settings and without a Repeat would just do that and terminate. While my example calls All Lights I would suggest a scene with only the lights you want to flash; driveway, front door, etc. Rand

In my own undocumented experience setting ramp rates and using less than 100% levels greatly extends the life of incandescent bulbs. Bulbs last for years rather than months. I really think the ramp rate makes most of the difference. Rand

Is this a -60006 error? NTP SERVER NOT RESPONDING Most newer routers allow you to reserve an address in the DHCP table for specific devices based on thier MAC address. Then it is possible to forward a port to that reserved address. If you can reserve an address in the router you will not need to specify a gateway, DNS Server, etc. Some providers block access to ports 80 and 443. Then you would need to select another port to forward to the ISY. Rand

Mark, The Switched On will cause the program to turn True. If we don't have the not Switched Off the program would remain True.

Hi Joe, You would only have to watch for the controller being switched On or Off. This program will toggle between True and False when the switch is pressed On and Off. If Control 'Dining Room' is switched On And Control 'Dining Room' is not switched Off Then - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Hi Mike, Run (If) evaluates the conditions and then proceeds to run the Then or Else actions. Run (Then) and Run (Else) skips all conditions and runs the actions in the Then or Else section of the program. Enable/Disable will allow the program to run based on Conditions or not run, no matter what the Conditions are. Run At Startup will examine the Conditions whenever the ISY is restarted. Rand

One example. This one repeats until the KPL button is turned off. If Control 'KPL C' is switched Fast On And Control 'KPL C' is not switched Off And Control 'KPL C' is not switched Fast Off Then Send Notification to 'Sub-Routine' Repeat Every 1 second Set Scene 'All Lights' On Set Scene 'All Lights' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') If you want to limit the number of flashes you can use a Repeat X times: If Control 'FR KPL Tracks / FR KPL C Fan' is switched Fast On And Control 'FR KPL Tracks / FR KPL C Fan' is not switched Off And Control 'FR KPL Tracks / FR KPL C Fan' is not switched Fast Off Then Send Notification to 'Sub-Routine' Repeat 10 times Set Scene 'All Lights' On Set Scene 'All Lights' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Rand

Hi Mike, What is happening is due to the fact that your program is turning on lights that are being checked in the conditions as being off. It will probably be better to create a folder that has a condition of the KPL button and then create programs within that folder to watch for Control events rather that Status. Control will only activate when a switch is pressed while Status reacts whenever a light is turned on even if from another controller. I also have to suggest that you create a scene containing all the lights and switch the scene On/Off rather than individual devices. Rand

Hi wpmjones, Please try a factory reset on the devices that don't want to add. Rand

Hi Tim, Last time I looked the cost was ~$40US. Please send a mail to sales at universal-devices.com or hit the link in my sig to UDI Support. Rand

As Tim (TJF 1960) suggests you can use the status of the folder to trigger the program.

The IR hardware can be added to any ISY-99i, it is a matter of opening the case and plugging in the board. Then the firmware will have to be upgraded which will involve an appointment with our tech support. Rand

Hi nathanstl, Every scene has the ISY as it's controller. Copy Scene Attributes allows you to select another controller for the scene and transfer the settings that the ISY uses. Rand

Hi Mitch, That is IE asking for the password. Check the Remember Password box. Rand

Hi mikewu99, KPL buttons cannot be controlled directly, they must belong to a scene and the scene turned on or off. You can run the desired program from the Programs page. Select the program and then use the Run Then option. Rand
