Michel, Thanks I was sort of thinking it was as easy as that but I wasn't sure. We have two separate heating/cooling plants, one for the first and second floors and one for the third floor. It would be really nice not having to climb two flights of steps to adjust the thermostat. Also can you program the thermostat individually and then have a program on the ISY override that programming?

@oberkc - Yes, all three KPL's are dimmers and I will give your solution a try. @ Lee - I am having intermittent issues with both conditions but I am having more with the off program.

Ok, I have been banging my head against the wall for two days now. This is what I am looking to do. I have 3 Keypads and I want the "E" button to be used to turn on one particular scene "1 Floor Lights". I am able to do this with out an issue by creating a scene with the lights I wanted to include set up as responders and the "E" buttons setup as controllers. Also, I created another scene to control the KeyPad button lights called "KPA-E", which I added the three "E" buttons as responders. Now, what I want to do is to illuminate the "E" buttons whenever one of the lights in "1 Floor Lights" scene is turned on. This is what I tried so far: KPE-On Program If Status 'Kitchen-Main Lights' is On Or Status 'Den Light' is On Or Status 'Kitchen-Sink Light' is On Then Set Scene 'KPA-E' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') KPE-Off Program If Status 'Kitchen-Main Lights' is Off And Status 'Den Light' is Off And Status 'Kitchen-Sink Light' is Off Then Set Scene 'KPA-E' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I know this should be a simple program but I am not able to wrap my head around this.

I hope they have a way to help you out but you may want to try unplugging your ISY overnight and try it again in the morning.

Mike, I see what you mean, so I decided to change the criteria in my If statement, this seems, to work: If Control 'Bathroom Light' is switched On Then Wait 15 minutes Set 'Bathroom Light' Off Set 'Bathroom Light' On Wait 2 minutes Set 'Bathroom Light' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

You may need to contact UDI Technical Support on Monday and see what they think.

I was in a similiar situation last night and this is what I did. First I unplugged all cables into the ISY and let it sit for about a minute. Then I plugged the cable that leads to my router into the ISY and then i plugged in the power cable. I didn't plug in the cable to the PLM. Then I was able to log into the ISY and then run the restore successfully. Here is a link the basically describes the same procedure: http://www.universal-devices.com/mwiki/ ... ocks_up.3F

Hmmm, you just may have to bite the bullet and restore your ISY from a previous backup.

Are you able to ping the ISY (Start --> Run --> CMD --> Ping IpAddress)? If so, have you tried a reboot of both the computer and the ISY?

How are you connectiong to the ISY via your intranet or via the internet?

Ok, activating the switch to the on position restarts the timer.

I have a timer for our bathroom and I have been receiving complaints from the occupants of the lights suddenly turning off, so I figure to add a 1 minutes warning. Here is my code: Bathroom Light Timer If Status 'Bathroom Light' is On Then Wait 30 minutes Set 'Bathroom Light' Off Set 'Bathroom Light' On Wait 1 minute Set 'Bathroom Light' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') First, is this an efficient program and second how would I go about "re-activating" the timer to start the 30 minute count down again? Thanks

Lawr, I noticed one thing that after the light switch was actuated to the Off position the "Manual Auto Off" program continues to run. So, I created a new program as follows: Manual Auto Off - switched Off If Control 'Garage Light' is switched Off Then Set 'Garage Light' Off Run Program 'Manual Auto Off' (Else Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') This seems to stop the process from running

Lawr1000, you are a genius my friend! it works great, thanks!

Can you control one Venstar Programmable Thermostat from another thermostat?

Thanks everyone, I think I finally figured it out after intergrating your suggestions into my programs. Now, if the Motion Detector turns on the light and then the Lght switch is turned on the "Light Switch turned On" program over rides the "Motion Detector turned on" program. This is exactly what I was looking for, here is the code: ''Motion Detector turned on If Control 'Garage PIR-Sensor' is switched On And Control 'Garage Light' is not switched On Then Set 'Garage Light' On Wait 5 minutes Set 'Garage Light' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ''Light Switch turned On If Control 'Garage Light' is switched On And Control 'Garage PIR-Sensor' is not switched On Then Set 'Garage Light' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Garage Light' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Also, I had a typo in my original post: Wait 25 minutes Set 'Garage Light' On I should have had this instead: Wait 25 minutes Set 'Garage Light' Off

Thank you for your post. Let me further explain what I am trying to do. In my Garage I have a motion detector (2420m) which turns on the garage light when someone enters. I have the light automatically turn off after 5 minutes. Now what I want to do is to manually active the Garage light and have the light stay on for 20 mintues by bypassing the Motion Dector's program. So I am assuming that I need to some how bypass the Motion detector's program so how, any ideas?

Ok, this is what I want to do when the garage light is turned on manually (flicking the switch) I want the light to stay on for 25 minutes and then turn off, here is my program: If Control 'Garage Light' is switched On And Status 'Garage Light' is On Then Wait 25 minutes Set 'Garage Light' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') When I flick the switch on the program doesn't run. THe following program runs fine: If Status '1 Floor / Garage / Garage Light' is On Then Wait 25 minutes Set '1 Floor / Garage / Garage Light' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Ok, this is what I have been doing, thanks!

Thanks everyone for your responses. I guess then I was doing the "right" way by organizing them by Floor and Room.

How would someone go about editting the message that is sent out during the email notication action within the UD Admin Console??

Thanks Guys!

Hello all!, I am new to the home automation arena and I am interested in how some of you guys are organizing your devices, scenes and programs. Any other tips would be appreciated as well! Thanks in Advance! Mark
