mapeter

Has anyone tested this? I have an Echo in my master suite and in the ISY Portal I have mapped the phrase "Sink Light" to the device "Master Sink Light". I want to put another Echo in the kitchen and in the ISY Portal I want to map the same "Sink Light" phrase to the device "Kitchen Sink Light". --Andy

I have a Synchrolinc on both my washer and dryer and the ISY sends out a text when the washer or dryer finishes. For the dryer, the Synchrolinc can only detect on and off. There is no idle. I have an Insteon 2845-222 Hidden Door Sensor on the laundry room door. If the room door is open, then the ISY suppresses the pages. The thinking is that if someone is in the room, there is no need to send out a text. I have thought about taking it further and enable a program that runs every 15 minutes to send another text. Once the room door is opened, then the program would be disabled.

ISY can't respond to response messages like that as far as I know. You would need to use REST commands, and I don't know that it is possible to get the itach to do that. You would probably have to use an intermediary, like a PC. ISY can't parse responses YET. That ability is coming in a future firmware update. I'm not sure how far off this is at this point but I'm hopeful that we will see this in the next few months. -Xathros Thanks for the responses. I hope that this ability come soon to the ISY. I had thought about having a program on PC do the polling and then fire a REST command to the ISY, but I really don't want to have to add another piece to the solution. To answer guedesluz's question, I am using a voltage sensor to determine when a receiver is on and off. I am doing this with another receiver using a voltage sensor and an IO Linc. Since my IP2IR has a free connector, it would be great to utilize it rather than purchase another IO Linc for the second receiver.

Hi Everyone - Using the Network Module, I have been successful in having the ISY send sendir commands to my iTach device. Now I want the ISY to be able to read the status of a sensor attached to the iTach device. I created the resource entry to send a "getstate,1:3" to the iTach. When I use the Test function in the ISY, I can see that the ISY successfully sends the getstate command as well as receives the "state,1:3,1" response, which would indicate that the sensor is on. How do I parse this response in an ISY program so I can have the ISY react to the status?
