  1. The easiest solution is to purchase a similar 120 VAC motion sensor and attach it to a Insteon micro relay module or similar Z-Wave. This would allow you to see and track the status of the bathroom light.

    New Insteon hub

    The two examples you noted are related to *Load Sense* which still communicates the status back to the ISY Series Controller. If someone adds in another controller outside of the ISY it won't be aware of those status changes. Lots of people have used two controllers in their homes including myself. In my case I used the now retired SmartLinc because it allowed basic control and a clean UI. Did it work? Yes, but as more complex conditions were added into my system via the ISY. The rogue devices operated via the SL caused programs to not execute as desired. In the big picture only trial and error can provide a person real world results. If what they find is acceptable then go ahead, if not then scale back until you find a happy medium. Its fair to say there isn't a hard and fast rule for right or wrong so much as be prepared to do some extra work and expect unintended results. If the WAF is high perhaps dicking around with what works isn't a good idea, no?
  3. Besides replacing the single band PLM which really needs to go. I have not read anywhere where you have followed the coupling / bridging outlined by the full users manual for the Access Point / Range Extenders. It should be noted some of the newer dual band Insteon devices can turn on/off the Power line or RF portion. Please confirm the RF is enabled to these units and confirm bridging outlined by the manual. These features have been documented in the On/Off Relay Module, Dual Outlet.

    New Insteon hub

    No . . . You risk the situation where one controller may over write another controllers link. You will either need to decide which controller to use in your home. Or have the HUB II / HUB Pro control isolated Insteon devices not linked, managed, controlled, by the ISY Series Controller. I've been asked this question a few times and believe people need to decide one or the other.
  6. I put this out there and if the future holds any possible inclusion of Apple Home Kit perhaps this company can assist UDI in speeding up the process: https://www.elgato.com/en/eve/eve-core
  7. Your going to have to decide who is going to be the master in your home. Having two controllers with direct links to one another is a recipe for disaster waiting to happen. Several clients asked me how I would do it in their homes. I told them they would need to decide what aspects they want Siri to control and trade off any conditional logic the ISY may have in place. The easiest route I have pondered is enrolling all the Insteon devices into the HUB Pro and using the iOS devices to control various devices and see how they like it. Keeping in mind the ISY may very well not be able to see or tell a switch was turned on/off from the HUB Pro. In my mind this is not ideal when a large install is in place. For someone who has a small and modest install I guess you could take a roll of the dice and see if it works for you and others. I personally don't think its something a person should take lightly.
  8. A program will not help when you need the dual mode option. Unless you mean something else?
  9. Add to the frustration is the removal of the jumper pin. I am hoping UDI was able to determine what the software code was to allow those changes via a soft option.
  10. If we are using the leak sensor monitoring program I would expect a 2 to show up. Ideals are peaceful - History is violent
  11. Thanks for getting that valuable information to the field members. Speaking for myself I see more value in seeing the node turn on/off. This limits ambiguity as to if something is operating as expected. Once again, June 02, 2015 Smartlabs / Smarthome continues to show they have no intentions to communicate to their customers! The biggest problem is that now there are at least (by my count) three different types of behaviors people will need to be on the look out for. Older units had no heart beat, later heart beat was incorporated using the on/off toggle, now it it just turns on? Really??? If you're going to change something how about you take the freaking time to document it and use the power of the Internet for blasted sakes. So stupid . . .
  12. UDI has been advertising the Zigbee TSTAT for quite sometime. But the advert indicates its for the IZ and not the ZS perhaps you should write in and ask if it will integrate with your current system. This is the direct link for the TSTAT if it ends up being compatible for you listed as $249.XX: https://www.universal-devices.com/sales/
  13. Really? What a crying shame . . .
  14. I believe my comment was pretty clear.

  16. I am assuming there is a typo of 99 instead of 994, correct? If so submit your UUID with a reference to this thread to UDI support and they will get you squared away. [emoji5]️[emoji4] Ideals are peaceful - History is violent
  17. These are the 1 wire sensors that have caused me untold grief and out of band readings. [emoji35] Of the ten 3-4 have right out of the hole when enrolled either had insane high values or they took the entire 1 wire network down. [emoji22] These units came with the red, black, white wires. Unlike the red, black, yellow that have worked perfectly fine since 2010. This unit also had the rounded tip as seen here. Flat tipped units working like a champ. Ideals are peaceful - History is violent
  18. I will send you a PM or indicate it here once I test them to be fully operational on my unit. I don't like to over generalize but the 1 wire sensors that seemed to give me problems are the round tip shaped units. Opposed to the flat tip with (matted finish) units I installed more than three years ago which are going strong. I will post up a picture in a minute so you can see the difference and the wire colors. Which in themselves is no guarantee of quality by any stretch of the imagination.
  19. Well, the Autelis Bridge has been a most excellent product for me and I know quite a few people bought it after they saw my review and install guide. With the push of development I urged the maker to do it has become the cornerstone of my environmental monitoring. One thing to note about these 1 wire sensors is don't get caught buying the cheapest units you can find. I have experienced a few units that came from another vendor and it caused random errors to a complete shut down of the system. I have ten more sensors enroute to replace the three junk ones I purchased last year. Its important to note these out of band errors will not show up until a few moments or hours of actual use. If you decide to move forward on the Autelis Bridge please do reference me.
  20. Is there an option to open a web page you booked marked? I don't think the admin Java applet can be selected but I could be wrong. Ideals are peaceful - History is violent
  21. I don't own a Apple OS but don't you have choices in the application to select the program you wish to launch? Coupled with the ability to type out the phrase so Siri knows what to listen to? [emoji53] Ideals are peaceful - History is violent
  22. Yes I am familiar with doing the above. I was hoping some kind of program could be written to detect a drop in data transmission then invoke a network resource to back fill the gap in data points. As an aside are you seeing any gaps in your 1 wire data in the charts? I am unsure if this is because the room it's monitoring is so stable there is no update to the state var and hence the gap?

  23. I wanted to know if there is any way or method to take a network resource and back fill missing data to a cloud service? In this case its to Smart Energy Groups (SEG) which allows the public to use the great site and push their various data to this cloud hosted service. In this thread I detailed the steps of how to get my Autelis Bridge 1 Wire using the ISY Series Controller as a bridge to send its temperature / humidity readings to SEG. My goal now is to back fill missing minutes, hours, days, weeks, of data from my system. I am just not clear how to go about this and thought the smart people on this forum would know how. Essentially as I understand it each data packet is time stamped. Using the time stamp a person could ultimately reseed missing data (gap fill) for any stream in question. The related thread is here: http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/16095-autelis-bridge-pushing-data-to-smart-energy-groups-seg-guide/

  25. The North American PLM is designed around the 60 Hz frequency which is timed for the zero cross over. Since in the UK its 50 Hz that cross over would be missing. As far as I can tell the RF and Powerline are tied into one chip and operate together. If the RF portion operated on its own than I could see this working via RF.
