That's true.An outletlinc is a responder only. If you turn it on or off manually at the outletlinc, the ISY would not know about it.Unless you set up a program to periodically query it. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

If UDI would have manufactured all of the automation devices and not just the controller, that would have been a perfect world... Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

Yes that's correct, it is RF only. I personally have 2 Venstars and an access point within 15 feet of each & never had any issues.

See this link at Smarthome's website for a list of Venstars: http://www.smarthome.com/_/INSTEON/Thermostats_HVAC_Controls/_/23b/J/nav.aspx Edit: I just noticed that the Venstar T1700, T1800, and T1900 don't come up on that list. So just do a search on their website for Venstar & you would find those. The T1xx is the residential line while the T2xx series is supposed to be the commercial line. I am not sure though what the difference is. They connect to the ISY as native Insteon devices. Some of them have the Insteon module integrated into the thermostat, while with some you will need to buy this Insteon Adapter: http://www.smarthome.com/2441V/Thermostat-Adapter-INSTEON-and-Totaline-Venstar-Compatible/p.aspx Everything you can do on the thermostat in terms of setting the setpoints, cooling/heating modes of operation, and timers, can be done from the ISY and much more. As a matter of fact, most if not all people don't even bother setting anything up within the thermostat itself & do all the programming within the ISY. I personally never even setup the date & time on the thermostat. I should mention though that there are more advanced settings on the thermostat like setting the deadband and the like, which are not supposed to be changed on a regular basis if at all, those cannot be done from the ISY. It does not have anything to do with ELK. Edit: It's possible that you can control the Venstar somehow from the ELK using the ISY Elk module if that's what you want. I don't have an ELK so I don't know. But you definitely don't NEED the ELK to control the thermostat.

How about getting the Venstar thermostats which are fully supported by ISY? Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

No. The synchronize clock only works with Smarthome's own thermostat, not with the Venstars. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

Thanks anyway. The PBX in a Flash is a graphical UI for Asterisk. But It is still possible to manually edit the 'extensions.conf' file. If my understanding is correct, that's where the above cURL command needs to be written. I will try to see if I can figure something out. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

Hi, I started playing around recently a bit with the PBX in a Flash version of Asterisk. The non-GUI version of Asterisk is above my pay-grade. Is there any way to implement the above mentioned way of sending REST commands in the PBX in a Flash system? Thanks in advance.

Is this switch directly controlling the load? If so then it's not possible. Having a program shut it off immediately after turning on would be the only way. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

The last time I changed those settings, the Save button was grayed out and could not be clicked on until I moved the cursor to the next field. That's how I became aware of that. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

WES, Good to hear from you. Thanks for the clarifications.

Wow that's bad news. Where did you see this info? Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

Wow this is something new and I didn't know about it. I just updated Tasker on my phone & this option is now available there. So I take back what I said before. You do NOT need a certificate from a certificate authority. You can use a self signed certificate. Just check off the "Trust any Certificate" box in Tasker.

Unfortunately not. You will need a certificate from a certificate authority. I got one for free from cacert.org. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk EDIT: The above statement is no longer correct. With the latest version of Tasker you do not need a certificate from a certificate authority anymore. See the next 2 posts.

I just noticed now that you are using the HTTP POST action. You need to use HTTP GET.

Thanks for the reply. I tried this and it is still not working: Server:Port http://username:password@192.168.xx.xx Path /rest/nodes/40070/cmd/DON/ Am I still missing something? BTW, this rest command works on a browser. This works from a browser on your phone or only on your computer? Is this phone connected to your local network via WiFi? Otherwise 192.168.xx.xx would not be the correct IP address. Also is "40070" just to disguise your actual device address? It doesn't seem like a correct address normally used.

The "/rest/nodes/..." part has to go in the Path field. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

There isn't, that's why I asked. Thanks.

I understand. Which size did you get, standard or Micro? How did you order, you have to order by phone? Thanks

If my understanding is correct those seem to be actual sensors not just a case. Did you take out the sensor from the enclosure & just use the case? Thanks.

Would you mind to post a link or mention the name and/or model number of the item you bought? I couldn't find it on their website. Thanks. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

Sounds great! Thanks.

Pardon my ignorance: I don't have a Nest. Where is the weather info coming from? Can I get this info into the ISY without having a Nest?

Thanks for the detailed information. Very much appreciated. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

Oh wow! Seems there are exciting times ahead for UDI & the UDI user base. Good luck! Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
