  1. 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 . . .
  2. 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/
  3. Really? What a crying shame . . .
  4. I believe my comment was pretty clear.

  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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?

  13. 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/

  15. 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.
  16. You can have all three nodes grouped together by simply hovering over the device and right click mouse and select group.
  17. I know it's a nice feature to have for ones daily life. But integrating your homes security system into a stationary object is just asking for trouble. [emoji58] This is like the separation of church and state. There's a reason why it was set that way because it ensures conflicts and abuse of power could not impact one another. This is why sometimes I really cringe at how this whole HA is being advertised and used by the masses. It's simply going to be a disaster waiting to happen. Ideals are peaceful - History is violent
  18. Ha, I love it . . . I am looking forward to reading how this endeavour turns out for you. Please do keep the membership updated with your efforts.
  19. Please confirm my understanding if I am not correct. So your plans are create program(s) that monitors the power / KWH for a specific period of time due to the ToU billing method you are on. Should the house be consuming above and beyond what ever value you have set. You will instruct random Insteon controlled devices to be turned off etc correct?
  20. UDI is currently in a holding pattern until such time as Smartlabs is ready to sell Insteon chips to them.
  21. Hello Craig, My reply has nothing to do with your original question so I do apologise. I wanted to know how exactly do you intend to use the information you have, being connected to the smart meter? I am trying to wrap my brain around what can be done in the ISY using this method?
  22. Hello Mike, 1. You will need to purchase the 994ZS Series Controller. 2. You will need to engage PG&E to enroll your ISY and issue a key. It would be best to reach out to the POCO first to confirm they are participating in this endeavor. If you create a service request with UDI they can arrange a time and date to be on the phone with all parties to facilitate this process for you. As sometimes the person you get on the phone has absolutely no clue what's going on. [emoji17] Going through UDI will make this process less stressful.

  23. Teken replied to jkraus's topic in ISY994
    That's still a pretty good value given what it offers the general consumer. I will state this again, as I have done in the past here and in other forums. If they ever add in conditional logic and some trouble shooting diagnostics like was seen in HL2. All the while supporting all of their Insteon enabled hardware, coupled with more dusk to dawn options and some kind of RTC that ensures accuracy. At the $79.99 price point even I will buy one! As it stands I believe the HUB Pro which is slated to be released in June will be barometer of things to come.
  24. The OP hasn't done any packet sniffing via wire shark so can't say. I am sure there are lots of dependencies in the cloud which very few people realize are in place. It comes down to how much Smartlabs wants to share with the customer which we all know is zero! [emoji52] Ideals are peaceful - History is violent
  25. Well so far the OP has changed out to another router with the same results. He has already deleted and added back one of the I/O's and its still the same?? I find it extremely hard to understand and believe one single device is not controllable??? Its obviously not a *normal* COM issue because he is able to control everything via the LAN. While over the WAN he can control everything except the GDO I/O's which makes no sense to me?? There must be some kind of cloud association that is impacting this. I asked him to use another OS (assuming he has one) because all three smartphone OS's seem to support or not support devices, features, etc. I just wanted to rule out this was the cause as I know all three OS Apps were just updated and this might be a simple bug. What doesn't make sense is that everything worked and was accessible with the older HUB v1. So I just don't know . . .
