If LeeG is dumping Insteon we are all in bad shape here... Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

The only problem with this is that you are using the unsecured http to log in. When you are trying to do this with the secure https you will get the certificate errors mentioned in the previous posts. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

If you see the programs in Mobilinc, and they are still running, and it's only missing from the admin console, I think these are signs of an antivirus/firewall issue on your computer preventing the admin console from displaying the info from the ISY. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

Why would anyone who owns an ISY do the scheduling on the Venstar thermostat itself? I would compare it to like someone with a horse & buggy in the 19th century who finally buys a car, but continues to use the horse to pull the car... I have the old Venstars and I do all the programming from the ISY so it doesn't even matter what the tstat's clock shows. In fact I never even bothered to setup the date & time on the tstat itself. I have had plenty of power outages short & long ones, but when the power comes back on and the ISY reboots it syncs the time with NTP and everything continues to work the way it should.

The Venstars are available with both, either Insteon as an add on dongle or with Insteon integrated into the tstat, with the later off course looking much nicer. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

I would recommend if you need to disable an entire suite of programs instead of trying to keep track of the variables in each program it might also be easier to put the programs in a folder and then add conditions to the folder. Yes I agree you are right. It would be easier to just use a condition on the folder. This would save the OP from having to use the condition in every program for each setpoint.

What is an "Insteon whole house repeater"? Do you mean the hardwired phase coupler, or is it some device that I have never heard about yet? Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

Actually in my example if u r going to use a KPL button as the trigger u don't need the seperate "auto heat offset" program. You can just add the "if KPL status is on" condition directly in the programs you will be making for every setpoint. If you want to enable/disable this mode some other way, then the "Auto heat offset" program might be needed. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

Hopefully one day we will be able with just a single program to set a variable with whatever the setpoint is & then it would be pretty easy to setup what you are trying to do using variables. Unfortunately that is not possible today. See the discussion here: http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=9420 So currently, if you would be using variables to accomplish what you are trying to do, you would need to make a separate program for every possible setpoint in your range to set the variable. So you are not gaining anything from using a variable, you are just going to have to use two programs for every possible setpoint. So instead you should just make a separate program for every possible degree in your range which should look like the following: If Status 'Tstat1 - Main' is 70° (Heat Setpoint) Then Set 'Tstat2 - Main' 72° (Heat Setpoint) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') And so on for every possible setpoint. If you want to be able to enable/disable this mode you would just add an appropriate condition to every program. For example, if you want to use a KPL button which would activate/de-activate this mode, you would make a program let’s call it “Auto Heat Offset†as follows: If Status 'KPL-1-H' is On Then - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Then you would add a condition in each of the programs for each setpoint as follows: If Status 'Tstat1 - Main' is 70° (Heat Setpoint) And Program 'Auto Heat Offset' is True Then Set 'Tstat2 - Main' 72° (Heat Setpoint) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Let me make sure I understand this correctly. You want your upstairs heat setpoint to always be 2 degrees higher than the downstairs setpoint? And instead of changing each setpoint individually every time, you want to set the downstairs heat setpoint and the upstairs setpoint should automatically change to 2 degrees higher?

There is Mobilinc which is an excellent app, much better than Smartlinc's. If you know how to setup port forwarding in your router it's not difficult at all to setup the ISY for remote access. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

Hi Michel, Can also the "Pro" part from my 99 be transferred to the 994?

Another option is to buy the Venstar T1800 thermostat and the Venstar outdoor sensor module. You would power the Vesntar using a 24VAC transformer. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

Mobilinc is the best Android app. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

Ok thanks. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

Great! Thanks. I am considering to upgrade & maybe use the old one for my office. I am not giving away any ISY's so fast... If I decide to get another one and I want to use the 994 in my home & move the 99 to my office, how would it work with the networking module that I currently have on my ISY-99? Thanks again.

Hi Michel, How does the current special upgrade price of $109 work? Do we have to send back the old ISY-99 or we get to keep both? Thank you

Jmed999, Unfortunately there is no other way. See here my post about this: http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=9420 Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

Thanks for all the suggestions. However there are several types of Insteon devices which revert to an off state after a power failure. I have made ISY programs for those devices to make them go back to the state they were before the power outage. In order for this to work the ISY has to know that a power failure occured. So I rather don't have the ISY on a UPS, and just design all my programs in such a way with the possibilty of a power failure in mind. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

Since in my area it's quite common to have milliseconds long power outages, I have always in mind that possibility when making a program and I try to address it. In this case, what would you suggest to make it power failure proof? I thought to have the same "wait for 24 hours then off" in the else clause & then make the program run at startup. What do you say? Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

Smarthome has since come out with a product to controll fans, its called Fanlinc. You just have to make sure it's compatible with your model fan. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

Hi Iceman68, I believe you can accomplish what you want with the following one program: If From Sunset - 1 hour and 20 minutes To 5:00:00PM (same day) And Time is 5:00:00PM Then Set 'Counter Lights' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Good luck!
