Sub-Routine

I use an Off program outside of any folders with Conditions. The Conditional folders have time and light constraints. So the light levels are appropriate. The Off program always calls the same scene Off. It doesn't matter what level the lights were on. The Ramp Rate in the scene is consistent.

Hi Art, The ISY should only try 5 times to link a device. While this can take some time it should not be 23 hours. What version of firmware is your ISY at? Close the Administrative Console. Power down the ISY and PLM for >10 seconds. Plug the PLM & ISY back in and restart the console. http://www.universal-devices.com/99i/2.8.16/admin.jnlp Rand

The double-flash is unlinking mode. It doesn't matter to the ISY if the MS is in linking or unlinking mode. Please see our Wiki concerning devices. ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:How-To_Guide#Devices Rand

Hi Darin, We don't very often find that 300 programs is a limit. Usually it is the number of devices (75+) and scenes. As Brian mentions you can upgrade to Pro ($30US) at any time. Rand

Hi johnmsch, We also have the opportunity to watch for On-On or Off-Off. If Control 'Basement / Stairs' is switched Fast Off Or ( Status 'Basement / Stairs' is Off And Control 'Basement / Stairs' is switched Off ) Then Set Scene 'Basement / ~Basement Stairs Low' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

If your shop lights are controlled by an Insteon switch you could also watch for that to be switched off. Then use a longer timeout than the double-tap. That would ensure the fan doesn't run all night if you forget to double-tap the fan controller (or the fast-on doesn't take). Rand

You could use a Fast-On in your program if you don't need that for something else.

Some variables reset to zero at midnight (Rain Today, HIgh Temp, etc.) Rain Rate (temp, wind, etc.) must be moment to moment. ryarber wrote a nice set of programs to add up Rain Today values. Program set for managing irrigation based on rainfall

Tim's answer is more relevant to "Once a Day", which was your original question. A gold star to Tim today!

I use three programs. I get one notice when Rain Rate >0. When Rain Rate =0 for at least 10 minutes the program is reset. I have WeatherBug update every 60 seconds. Rain Rate If Module 'Climate' Rain Rate > 0 And Program 'It is Raining' is False Then Run Program 'It is Raining' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') This program will only run if it hasn't rained in 10 minutes (10 updates). Rain Rate Not If Module 'Climate' Rain Rate is 0 And Program 'It is Raining' is True Then Wait 10 minutes Run Program 'It is Raining' (Else Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') It is Raining If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Wait 10 seconds Send Notification to 'Text to Blackberry' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Rand

Have you tried https://isy? Rand

Hi James, I wish you would have tried to reboot the PLM first. If that did not work then reboot the ISY. The upgrade would not erase any existing links. Rand

Hi C Martin, I see one issue. Start Fade Up/Down with no end (Fade Stop) will never update the ISY state of the device. I suggest you create a scene with the On Level/Ramp Rate you desire And then call that scene On or Off. Then the ISY can interpolate the states of the devices in the scene. Rand

Hi johnmsch, I use this: If Control 'Basement / Stairs' is switched Fast On Or Control 'Basement / Overhead Fluorescent' is switched Fast On Then Set Scene 'Basement / ~Basement Overheads' On Set Scene 'Basement / ~Basement Stairs Scene' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Rand

Hi rlebel, You could link the lights you always want to react to the MS and use programs to control the other lights as desired. Rand

Hi bocaray, Next time would you try a hard reset of the ISY? Use your reset apparatus to press the button for a second. ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Restarting_Your_ISY-99i I think the reboot isn't completing. Rand

This line says the group command is sending an Off. Be sure that within the scene the EZIO is set to On. Here's some help concerning the Event Viewer: ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Using_the_Event_Viewer

I have to agree with you lawr1000. I am not able to locate any personal weather stations in the ISY as well. This would would be a really nice feature to have in the ISY, as I could install a weather station in my back yard and base my programs off of my actual house weather. Here in Florida it could literally could be raining at my neighborer house and not mine. I would like to be able to base my sprinklers off the "actual" weather at my home. Michel, do you happen to have an update on this or maybe know why we cant see the personal stations through the ISY? Thanks, James If you know the code of the personal station you wish to reference you can enter it in the ISY. http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=2377&highlight=weather

Programs in disabled folders cannot be run. We have a few pages in our Wiki to help with programming. SY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:How-To_Guide#Programs Rand

Hello Orest, Yes, remove the adapter and perform the reset. Here are the Wiki instructions to link to the ISY: ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Linking_a_Thermostat#Linking_a_Thermostat_V2 No. The programs will display Not Specified. You can use Find/Replace then. Rand

Hi oskrypuch, I like that idea very much. Rand

Folders only obey their own Conditions, they cannot be enabled/disabled or made True/False using programs. Disabled programs, as oberkc wrote, can be Run (If), Run Then, Run Else. Disabling a program is only advantageous when there are Conditions in the program. You may wish to Disable/Enable certain programs when guests are present, for example. Disabled programs may be used to cascade programs. If, Then, If, Then... programming. Rand

The offsets work fine here as well. Have you tried removing the offsets? Rand

Hi Teken, The lightbulb indicates the device is only a responder.

Thank you for the update Jim.
