Sub-Routine

Hello io_guy, If you added the switches when using older firmware you will have to remove them and add them back. Rand

Hi Mitch, I think it is already jinxed. Can you substitute another switch or ask Smarthome to send you a replacement? Rand

Hello Rich, Are you sure they aren't in your Junk folder? If not then send me a mail. Rand I am trying to sign up but I am not getting any confirmation emails. Is there another place to download the beta? THanks, Rich

Hi mitch236, Yes, I think you linked them correctly. Controlling one switch in a scene does only control that one switch. Otherwise you could see all four switches being controlled when you only want to control one. I am most curious if when you physically press 'Porch Main' it always goes into a busy state and disrupts your other Insteon communications. Rand

The Weather module receives data at the interval you have specified. Data is only sent if it has changed. So what you are seeing has nothing to do with your switch and the scene or a program. You can disable the weather module or set the polling interval to a larger value to reduce the data received. So when you pressed the switch and captured it in your Event Viewer everything worked correctly? No 'Cannot Communicate With...'? Rand

No, don't remove Porch Main from the larger scene. By removing Porch Main from Porch Scene we can determine if it gets busy trying to contact the other members of the scene (since it is a controller) or if it just gets busy whenever you locally press it. If the first then something is mucked in the scene. If the later then the switch is wacky, either because of it's load or because of the switch itself. I doubt if it is the load because the KPL can control it. I doubt if it is in your programming but if you like I can log in and look. Use the email button on this post to send me the address. Change your login to admin/admin please. Rand

That program should only be a problem at 9:05 PM. And then it should only run once. If you remove 'Porch' from the scene that it is in as a controller what happens when you switch it On manually?

Is sounds like you have the switches configured correctly. Do you see a lot of activity in the Event Viewer when you use the local switch? Rand

Hi Denis, That is unusual. Would you please try a hard reset of the ISY? A paper clip in the hole under the Error LED for a second. ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Restarting_Your_ISY-99i Rand

Make a backup, reset ISY & PLM, use. New unit arrives: backup your config, reset, restore to the playroom if you like. Restore your config on the new device. If you get a new PLM you will also have to Restore PLM. You would have to find out if Flex Your Power is available from your electric supplier before it will do you any good. FYP is included in firmware 2.7.3+. Rand

I'm glad you got it working. My Lighting should be empty, the ISY has been used. If you are going to keep it you should perform a Factory Reset on the ISY and the PLM. Rand

Can you connect the ISY directly to the router? If that works we will have to figure out why it doesn't work through a switch. Rand

Hello Glenn, Within the scene select the KPL as the controller. Then adjust the level and rate or Copy Scene Attributes. Rand

Hello thruster999, Un-check the Daily box under the time.

Ah, there was a discussion last week: http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=4006&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=certificate&start=0 Ultimately Michel posted: Rand

Did you recently install something else that uses port 443? Windows Home Server?

Hello robandcathy, Please try this method: ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Linking_an_IRLinc_Transmitter. Rand

Hi David, I think the simplest way is to use two programs. Away Nighttime If From Sunset To 6:00:00AM (next day) And Status 'Dining Rm Entrance' is Off Then Set 'Kitchen Lamp' 30% Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Away Daytime If From 6:00:00AM To Sunset (same day) And Status 'Dining Rm Entrance' is Off Then Set 'Kitchen Lamp' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') You may want to use Control instead of Status. Control will only trigger the program when you press the switch. To paste your programs here right click on the program and select 'Copy to Clipboard'. Paste it between Code tags. Rand

Hi Paul, If the switches are in folders you will have to remove them from the folder to see the Replace option. Rand

Hello Quixote, The IR module is not as simple as the upgrade to Pro, it is a combination of hardware and firmware. We will have to coordinate the process with you. To arrange such an upgrade please fill out a ticket with our support center: UDI Support Rand

Hello Tom, If you watch in the Event Viewer do you see the commands being sent from the controlling switch? If so then the switch with the load may be the problem. Is it a version 35 SwitchLinc? You could try to right-click the responder SL and select Restore Device. If this completes without errors and it still does not respond to the controller then we will have to deduce a failure in the hardware. Rand

Hello John, If you add the IRLink button to the scene it will work all the time, you will need to use a program to limit the times. If From 5:00:00PM To 10:00:00PM (same day) And Control 'IRLinc Button 1' is switched On Then Set Scene 'Pause Movie' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Rand

Hello Mike, That is indeed a difference between local and remote control. While a second On will set the local level to 100% it only sends an On command to any linked devices. A double-tap will send a Fast On and holding the paddle will send Bright or Dim commands. You could use a program in the ISY to override the normal behavior. Rand

Hi mitch236, That will work if sunset is after 6PM. mhornak, Create a program called Sunset Status If From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) Then - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Make a folder with your Night Rates. 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. In this folder another program, Outside Lights On 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') By using the conditions of both the folder and the sunset the program will Run Then when both become true. Rand

Hello Dave, Programs are evaluated whenever a schedule is met or a change is made to a referenced device. The only time a program is halted when conditions change is during a Wait or a Repeat loop. It is documented in the Wiki: ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Scope,_Precedence_and_Execution_Order#Statement_Execution_Order. For more information on programming the How-To Guide has a list of articles and examples: ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:How-To_Guide#Programs Rand
