Sub-Routine

Be sure to use a computer that is wired to the router. You may also have to disable your firewall software.

Hi Rob, Sorry for the late response. Any changes? I wonder if one device is bad and affecting communications from the other? Pulling the set buttons one at a time could test this. Rand

You will probably be better to use the switch. It is easier to access the Set button and you can pull the Set button if you need to reset the switch. The InlineLinc needs to have power removed and restored to reset it. Rand

Hello Paul, You can right-click on each device and select Write Updates to Device or you can cycle Batch Mode On and Off to write all the changes. You will find Batch Mode in the File menu and on the Toolbar. The XML Parse error usually occurs when the Administrative Console looses contact with the ISY. While spidering or writing in batch mode you can close the Administrative Console and the ISY will continue working. Rand

Hello David, Enable Internet Access is different than the ISY accessing the internet for updates. Your PC can access the internet but that doesn't enable the internet to access it. Please contact our support team and we can call or email to get you going. Phone is usually more productive. Meanwhile I suggest you sign up for Beta 2.7.12. Rand

Hi gfridland, We are looking into this. Thank you, Rand

Did you recently clear your Log file?

Hi Ken, Welcome to the forum. It could be that the PLM locked up, did you unplug the PLM? Rand

Hello intellihome, Yes, you must be local to the ISY. The Certificate Manager program will search your network for the ISY and you will be asked to login. You may have to wait a minute for the login prompt. You do not have to save the certificate, it is automatically downloaded to the ISY. A new certificate overwrites the existing certificate. Make a Backup of your ISY before you begin. Restoring the backup will restore the old certificate. Rand

Nice!

Use just the 1.2.3.4 They still need the username/password. That data is encrypted when you use the SSL certificate and only the ISY can decrypt it. So no one can sniff the data. A public key is used to encrypt the data but only the private key can decrypt it.

Yes, that will take 2 programs. Since you use the Status of the light as a Condition when the Status changes the program is reevaluated. Put all the Actions in a separate program and call that program from this one.

Hi mbrett, Linking_a_Trigger_Link

Hello David, #1) Yes, create a scene and add the two devices. #2) From the laptop, on your local network, you will not have to set a static IP address. For remote access you should forward port 443 to the ISY. Some routers allow you to create a reservation for the ISY using the MAC address. Otherwise you should set a static IP address. ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Remotely_Connect_to_Your_ISY Rand

Yes, you need to enter the address. The address consists of characters 0-9 and A-F. They must be in pairs separated by periods (.). ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Link_Management_Menu#Link_a_RemoteLinc

Right-click and select Copy to Clipboard. Insert between Code tags to retain the formatting.

You are correct, you cannot turn off KPL buttons. You can't turn off a KPL load from a button on the same KPL. However, you can turn off SL relays. ooooooh.... that's making a pretty broad statement. Turning a scene on can turn many devices off but afaik not KPL buttons not switchlinc relays not some older devices that could dim down but not off trying to turn things off with scene 'on's has cost me a lot of hair. Hair which I can ill afford to lose, I might add. mark

It is not a problem to create another scene for the Off command if you would like different ramp rates. You might want one scene before the movie, another when you start the movie, another when you pause, and perhaps another when you finish. Scenes can set some devices On and others Off as you wish. Rand

Hi Marc, The simplest way would be to disable the program for 1-2 minutes after it is activated but this wouldn't count the number of changes. That would take some number of programs dependent on each other. Rand

Hello gfridland, The Log File should automatically delete the oldest events when it reaches maximum size. Perhaps you were looking at an old version of the file. Was March 6 the last time you looked at it? What OS do you have on your PC? Rand

Hi mitch236, To replace the ISY make a backup, install the new ISY and restore from that backup. You may wish to export your programs, just in case. ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:File_Menu#Restore_ISY To replace the PLM install the new PLM and select Restore PLM. ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:File_Menu#Replace_Modem_(PLM) Use Restore ISY then Restore PLM if you replace both.

Argh, My Bad. The program turns false as soon as the time condition is not true. How about a flag program? AmpWasOn If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') AmpOff If Time is 11:45:00PM And Status 'Amp' is not Off Then Set 'Amp' Off Run Program 'AmpWasOn' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') AmpOn If Time is 7:00:00AM And Program 'AmpWasOn' is True Then Set 'Amp' On Run Program 'AmpWasOn' (Else Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

See this Wiki page: ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Link_Management_Menu#Link_a_RemoteLinc.

The AmpOff program will maintain it's state until it runs again, in this case at 11:45PM. It will be True if all the Conditions are met (amp is On) and False if the amp is Off. If you had a From/To in the Schedule it would become False when the To time is reached no matter the state of the amp.

Some of the routers available can use dynDNS or TZO. Then you don't have to run an app on a PC.
