Sub-Routine

Hi Tim, Usually if a Restore or a firmware upgrade fails it is due to one of three things: Software firewall Wireless connection Network error (is the ISY connected through a switch?) Rand

You could put the Repeat in your first program. If Control 'KPL Den / KPLDen-G:Garage Door' is switched On Or Control 'KPL Husband / KPLH-G:Garage Door' is switched On Or Control 'KPL Wife / KPLW-G:Garage Door' is switched On Then Repeat 3 times Run Program 'Do Garage Door Close' (If) Wait 20 seconds Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') If Status 'Garage Door / Garage Door-Sensor' is not On Then Set 'Garage Door / Garage Door-Relay' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Hi mitch, Are these v1 adapters? Then it is a known issue. You should contact Smarthome, I think they will upgrade them to v2 for the difference in cost. Rand

Hello Kelly, As I understand it the EZsnRF should have one node for each sensor that is linked to it. So if you only have one sensor you will only see one node. Does the state of the EZsnRF change with the IR detector? Rand

Hello kevinkaz, You have to follow a Fade with a Fade Stop so the ISY knows when to update the status. Then Set Scene 'FR Lamp' Fade Up Wait 5 seconds Set Scene 'FR Lamp' Fade Stop Or If IR 'Button -' is Held And IR 'Button -' is not Released Then Set Scene '~Family Room To Fade' Fade Down Else Set Scene '~Family Room To Fade' Fade Stop Rand

Hi axmill8, 2.7.14 RC1 is a release candidate. There are very few ubgs and some typos. There are many improvements. You can upgrade directly from 2.7.0. Rand

Teenage daughters?

That seems odd. Here are the programs / folder I have had running for some weeks: Sunset Status (no folder): If From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) Then - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Night Rates (a folder): Folder Conditions for 'Night Rates' Add conditions to limit when programs in this folder are allowed to run. If From 6:00:00PM To 6:00:00AM (next day) Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. Sunset (in Night Rates folder): If Program 'Sunset Status' is True And Folder 'Night Rates' is True Then Set Scene 'OL Evening' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I experimented with the schedules on the status program and the folder and the program runs no matter which turns True first. Hmm...

Hi thruster999, Programs do not run automatically when a folder becomes True. But they can use the folder condition to trigger them. If Program 'Kitchen is Dark' is True And Folder 'dinner 8:30 to 9:30' is True Then Set 'Kitchen Counters' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Rand

Hi Rob, LampLincs will send a NACK when they don't have a load connected. You say the lights react properly though. Are they CFLs? Rand

You will also need firmware 2.7.13+ for the thermostat V2 adapter.

Is the ISY connected directly to the router? Some switches are known to cause issues like this. What router do you have?

You may also have to click Enable device before the Remove option is available. Rand

Hi IM, That was my job for 35 years. In June '08 I started to collect my pension. And I am enjoying it very much! That makes me sound old but I was only 19 when joined the union. Group Commander was a fun project, but it doesn't hold a candle next to the ISY! I'm really glad you and Brian and a bunch of other guys take the time to visit our forum and help everyone. Thank you, Rand

Did you get the April's Fool version?

AFAIK, the difference is the ability to add the humidistat to the 7-day and not the daily. Rand

Yes, On = 100%, Off = 0%. So your program should be fine. Rand

Hi sk8er02, Are you using Network Magic or a similar program?

I also use the workbench with new devices. Each gets a factory reset then added to the ISY. If I need to use Replace Device I do that on the bench. As IM states: I haven't kept a list of numbers since I started using the ISY, the topology has them all. Rand

Hi sk8er02, Are you sure all the parameters for the static IP are correct? Since you have 2.7.13 you can use the Configuration | System | Network Settings pane to change to Automatic (DHCP) and see if that works. A backup of the ISY will save your current settings so you can use Restore if necessary. Rand

Hello Brian, Please see my comments below. Rand KPLs are 5 or 8 nodes, IOLincs are 2 nodes, switches 1 node. You will be fine with the standard ISY. The ISY Pro is a firmware upgrade if you ever need it. The Control condition in the ISY only watches for device controls, Status is used to monitor changes initiated by other means. So you won't have this issue with the ISY. I'm not sure how the HL PLM will work with the ISY, I haven't heard from anyone who has tried the 2413SH. The only problems we see with the 2413S concern the V1 thermostat adapters. You do not need the Network module for MobiLinc. The Network module is described on this Wiki page: ISY-99i_Series_INSTEON:Networking KPL button modes may be lost. IOLinc and local settings should be read by the ISY. IF you want to enter by address leave the device type on auto detect for most devices. The ISY will then query the device for it's firmware revision. You may wish to load the latest beta firmware to the ISY before you add your devices, the firmware that ships with the ISY does not recognize the latest Insteon devices. Firmware 2.7.13 BETA is Now Available Please see our Wiki for the most up-to-date ISY documentation: Main_Page Thank you, Rand

There is a method to reset an OutletLinc outlined in the User Guide: http://wiki.smarthome.com/index.php?title=2473S_Manual#Resetting_OutletLinc_to_Its_Factory_Default_Settings Then you should use the ISY Admin Console to select the device and from the context menu (right click) choose Restore.

Hi Larry, If the ramp rates and levels are incorrect and you can't view the programs this points to a PLM issue. If this happens again would you please check the LED on the PLM? And check Tools | Diagnostics | PLM Info/Status. Rand

The program will retain it's status no matter the state of the folder.

Oh Man. Then you could not link your switches directly to the lights. You would have to use programs to see the switch presses and then control the lights. Or, if you have the lights on a dimmer set the switches for a long ramp rate so a program could turn them back on before they turn off. But that will have an effect when you use the switch to turn them on. You can use Adjust Scene to change the ramp rates. This will be complicated and I'm afraid it will not be what you want. It will be much simpler if you can use specific KPL buttons or switches without a load to select as an override to the motion sensor.
