Jmed999 what features would be on your wishlist for a new android app? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the great ideas guys! I am thinking of a hybrid approach of the two suggestions. Part of my issue was placement of the sensor itself. Then updating the programs using the suggestions should really help.

I have been getting back into my automation setup and really want to tackle my issues with motion sensors and detecting occupancy. What I want to happen is to have devices go off if the room is empty, but not go off if I am still in the room being still (watching a movie or doing computer work). Just looking to start a dialog and see if others are doing something similar and how they are doing it. Thanks. Sent from my Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 2

Thank you LeeG. Works as expected after following your instructions. Cheers. I was also having an issue with the sensing mode not working in the previous program. Changing the motion sensor from 'status' to 'control' fixed the sensing issue. Hope this helps someone.

Hello, I have a motion sensor that is not linked to anything. I have a program run when the sensor is triggered to control devices or scenes based on time of day. During the day I have the sensor turn on a single light. That program looks like this: If $IsDarkOutside is 0 And Control 'Office / Office Motion-Sensor' is switched On Then Set 'Office / Office Fan Light' 100% Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') The light in the action list ramps to 100% over 30 seconds, however I want to change that. The local device settings are set to instant on/off, but that is not happening from my program. So my question is where is this ramp rate coming from and how to change it? Thanks!

The "songid" is the id of the file assigned by xbmc when the media folder is scanned by xbmc. The other "id" is the id of the xbmc player. The player ids are either 1, 2, or 3 and reference the xbmc music player, video player, and photo 'player' (viewer). You might check the protocol example page for some additional samples: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=JSON-RPC_API/Examples.

Should be fine. Is xbmc running? It has to be open to work as it does not run as a service. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Hello Michel, Sorry for the ambiguity. The elk programs just turn on a light or turn on a scene. I have noticed that this delay is also present in the network module and the triggering of the network resources. Also the test button is inactive in the network resource page and I cant get it to activate. I am thinking about a factory reset on the isy and plm and adding only a few devices to see what happens. I never realized what a big part ISY plays in my setup until I had to take it out due to this stability issue. Sent from my Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 2

My system went AWOL a few days ago. I am slowly getting it pieced back together. The main issue was my PLM dying. Everything is almost back up and working except for my ISY programs that involve Elk. I have lots of programs that watch for zone violations and react, but this reaction has now went from nearly instantaneous to 20-60 seconds delayed. Tried: Power cycle / reboot Elk, XEP, ISY, and my router. Triple check all configuration settings. Notes: No changes have been made to my system recently. Just went from fine to AWOL all on it's own. Using 994 with 4.0.5. All my devices have static IP addresses. My local network is working fine with no recent changes as well. I have noticed a lot of 'Elk Query All Failed, requesting retry' in my log. Any advice/info on how to resolve? Thanks!

You will want the frequent ping for vehicle detection. The highest setting is every 30 seconds. From what I have read the tag manager can be firmware updated to remove the cloud aspect. The downside is that the firmware is not able to be field updated and must be shipped back to the maker for updates. Sent from my Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 2

I am using this: http://www.wirelesstag.net/ Still fairly new product to my setup but so far so good. Has a url calling feature on certain conditions, one of which is lost/made connections, which I use to run a REST command in Isy to change a vehicle status boolean.

Not enough info to review as we need to rule out that the program is not being triggered. Can you post your code?

I use a program called mp3tag. Great to hear that this part is solved. I'm sure someone can help you out on the other issue if you post your programs. Sent from my Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 2

Hello. I got it working fine. I think the issue was that there was no tag info on the file. I added misc tag info and attached it. Try it again with the attached file. Driveway.zip

+1 for fanlinc. Have 5 of them and they are ultra reliable. I don't believe I have ever had a missed command. In any event the light does not turn on, at least in my experience, when power is removed and re-applied. The only downer is the control aspect. Most use up 4 kpl scene buttons to fully control. I use 1 with state variables, but it is a tad bit on the slow side. Sent from my Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 2
