ISYhbsh01

Xathros, The ISY is being assigned a static IP by the router. The router is the only DHCP server on the network. Thanks.

Xathros, The lockups started on Friday after I upgraded the firmware while I added the IO Linc on Sunday. I uninstalled conductor last night & it still locked up today. Thanks.

I have one program to send me email notifications of status changes in the sensor.

Michel, 1. It's interesting since it worked fine after the upgrade (When the ISY wasn't locked up) until I added an IO Linc & then did a re-download in Conductor. 2. I did not assign a static IP using the ISY setting but I did assign a static IP thru the router settings, so I highly doubt it got a new IP address. Unless the MAC address changes with a firmware upgrade? I will double check in the router when I get home though. My router is an ActionTech MI424-WR. It's the router given by Verizon to it's FIOS customers. Thank you.

By the way, yesterday I added an IO Linc to the ISY, and since then Conductor for Android keeps on crashing every time i try to open it. I tried to uninstall & reinstall with no results. A couple of times this also caused the ISY to lock up. (The ISY started to lock up though even before that).

Xathros, Michel, It's now locked up again & I can't log in remotely. I will have to wait till I get home & reboot it again. I am not sure about the programs in general if it worked while being locked up since I was constantly rebooting it. That much I do know that I did not receive email notifications while being locked up. Also if that helps, most of the times when being locked up the MEM LED was on steady, sometimes only the power LED was on steady while locked up, while at least once the MEM & ERR were blinking. Thank you.

Isn't this what the "Catch up schedules at restart"Â and the "Missed Schedule Grace Period" settings are all about?

I upgraded 2 days ago and since then my ISY is constantly locking up. I had to reboot probably 30 times already in those 2 days.

Thanks

Another question: Do I have to do the upgrade while on the same local network or remotely thru the internet would also work?

Thanks.

Sorry for my ignorance, this will be the first time I will upgrade my firmware: What happanes with all the programs & settings after upgrading, is it all lost?

oceanman93: Can you tell me which "Network Powerstrip" you are using? Thanks.

Teken, I posted the question over at the Smarthome forum. I got a response that you can hook up a 24 VAC transformer to the R and C. I bought this: http://www.smarthome.com/3061/24VAC-Power-Supplies-ELK-TRG2440/p.aspx from Smarthome and connected it to my T1700 and it works fine.

Thanks for updating us. I would still love to know if it's possible to use it standalone by hooking it up to a 24VAC transformer, and if yes how it would be done.

I believe I read somewhere on the forum that the Venstar can be hooked up standalone to a 24v AC transformar and then used as a sensor for your purporse. I was also looking into this possibilty & would appreciate if someone can give us some insight on how this can be done.

Hi everyone, I am looking into buying an Android tablet/smartphone. Can anyone tell me if the Java administrative console would work on Android?

Thanks Michel for the clarification.

Even if there is a condition/schedule in the IF statement that's currently false? I had understood that at startup it will run & evaluate the IF statement, and will then run the "then" or "else" depending on if the condition/schedule is met or not. Am I wrong?

3 days ago I got up in the morning sopping wet from sweat and found that my window a/c which is on an appliancelinc was off. I checked my email and sure enough I saw a notification that at about 3 AM there was a brief power outage which caused the appliancelinc to be turned off. The outage probably lasted for only a second since most of my electronic clocks in the house didn’t reset but the damage was done. This was like the last straw that broke the back of the camel. I thought that instead of an appliancelinc I would get an electrician to wire a new switch next to the outlet to control the outlet, and use a switchlinc which does retain its status after a power outage. Then I saw on Smarthome’s website that the outletlinc unlike the appliancelinc does retain its status. I have 1 outletlinc on hand so I replaced the regular outlet with the outletlinc. Unfortunately, after testing it by turning off the circuit breaker it reverted to off contrary to what the Smarthome website says. Oddly enough, I tried to activate the load sensing feature & that didn’t work either.

I just ran into this old post. Is this still true in today's versions, that when the ISY reboots it will run unconditionally the then portion of each run at startup enabled program?

Thanks LeeG, What I need is a program which would return the appliancelinc to it's previous state from before the power outage whether on or off, if that's possbile.

It's 4.2. If they think it might be a safety issue they could have made it possible to let people change the setting themselves like with the load sensing option. Does anyone have some ideas on how we could perhaps do some kind of an ISY program to get around this problem?

I just learned this the hard way... We had here on Friday afternoon, in the about 100 degree heat (not including humidity), a power outage which lasted for almost 24 hours. So I moved in to my parants' house for the day. I have a couple of window a/c's plugged into Appliancelinc's. I always assumed that since the settings are stored in non-volatile memory that once power comes back on they will return to their previous state & the house will be cooled off when I return home. Turns out all of them were off when I returned except for one a/c which was turned on by a scheduling program. In my opinion this is really a shame. Why can't the appliancelinc remember it's previous state? Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this problem?

Hi Rand, I also thought the same thing after this happened and reviewing the programs, and I actually made this change right after I made this post. Still, I am not sure if and why this should have caused a loop. All it did was to send a duplicate on command when it should already be on and a duplicate off command when it should already be off. On the other hand, the loop did stop when I disabled this program, so it does seem that it had something to do with it though I don’t understand why. So I would still like to see if someone might come up with something that I did wrong other then this to avoid a costly recurrence. Or maybe someone can explain why this should indeed have caused a loop. Perhaps someone would want to take a look at my log file. Thank you.
