Boot Sequence of PLM / ISY after Power Outage
The only thing I can say is don't ever try to get warranty repairs from the company. They truly suck *** and have terrible customer service after the sale! They have to be one of the worst American companies I have ever had to deal with regarding warranty repairs and tech support.

Energy Monitoring - Fine tuning a program
Hello Michael, I have revised my program to reflect yours and will report back in a few days regarding success / failure. I thank you so very much for taking the time to share your monitoring programs with me. Will your variable program only fire off one e-mail / resource to push over? I wanted to confirm this because I don't want to receive 999999999999 pieces of mail tomorrow when I test this out.

Michael, That would be most helpful and I thank you.

Energy Monitoring - Fine tuning a program
Hello Michel, I would like to use the full capabilities of the energy module that interfaces with the GEM / ISY. This was the primary driver in investing so much money into this project from the on set. I would rather not invest anymore money into another device (synchrolinc) which would only address some appliances but not others such as the dryer or any 240 volt device. I believe this problem can be easily solved if I was given some basic examples to nudge me in the right direction to craft some programs. I am unsure why there is such a disparity between the options for those who use the *Electricity Module* vs *Status* via the drop down list. At the moment some guidance in crafting a simple program would be most helpful to determine when these appliances are done their cycle.

Liftmaster 8500 integration. Has anyone accomplished this yet?
I have a similar system as yours minus the MyQ and online hub. All of the other parts are exactly the same and was called the Liftmaster 3800 jack shaft back in the day. I have been using the Insteon garage IO kit for more then five years without any issues. The wires that come from the IO simply install in parallel into the actual GDO main board.

The App isn't pretty but it works just perfect!

All you would have to purchase is the following insteon kit: http://www.smarthome.com/74551/I-O-Linc-INSTEON-Garage-Door-Control-Status-Kit/p.aspx

Can the Zwave version also do insteon devices?
It may not be exactly the same but the basic principle is the same. You can either select the light bulb which says add insteon device or select Start Linking (yellow / blue arrow) at the top.

I believe he should be using this model: http://www.smarthome.com/2443-222/INSTEON-Micro-On-Off-Module/p.aspx As the other one is indicated as for shutters?- Micro Open/Close Module for Whole House Fan
The 2444-222 is a dimmer: http://www.smarthome.com/2442-222/INSTEON-Micro-Dimmer-Module/p.aspx- Micro Open/Close Module for Whole House Fan
You purchased the dimmer instead of the relay on /off. Please return it and buy the correct one. Also please do not use it again as the dimmer will not provide full voltage / power to the device and can cause damage to the unit. This is the correct Insteon device: http://www.smarthome.com/2443-222/INSTEON-Micro-On-Off-Module/p.aspx- Energy Monitoring - Fine tuning a program
Yes I can sense when any of the devices turn on and what power value is present. The problem I am seeing is that when the voltage in the local area fluctuates this affects my programs from initiating. I have used all forms of <, >=, >=, IS, IS NOT. I believe the solution is to have a power range for the initial sense / start. Then use the known standby power signature to indicate the end of the cycle. But craft it in a way that compensates for the swing in voltage from the POCO. This also brings me to another on going problem with the existing power values. In the next 5.0 firmware release there must be a box to enter a value. Instead of picking predefined values that go linear then all of the sudden jump into blocks of power options. Ie 500, 600 watts etc. Encrypted By: Phoenix Security Solutions- Energy Monitoring - Fine tuning a program
Back ground: I am using the Green Eye Monitor (GEM) which monitors and tracks the energy in my home which is integrated with my ISY-994iZ Pro. I would like to fine tune my programs to be more specific in detecting the completion of the following appliances. ie. Dish Washer, Clothes Washer, Dryer. I am able to detect final power cycles of all three devices and their standby power. For this example we have the clothes washer at its peak consumes 363 watts & in standby consumes 3 watts. What is the ideal program to using the above values to alert me the wash is done?- GDO Light Program - Status / Control?
I wanted to follow up and confirm the program works perfectly as intended. Reviewing security videos confirms the ISY is helping me solve this really annoying problem. Thank you all once again!- Boot Sequence of PLM / ISY after Power Outage
The web switch is powered by one AC outlet but you have full control of turning on / off / cycle any of the eight receptacles independently. There is also a iPhone app which allows you to perform the same actions when not in front of a computer system.- Micro On/Off Cycling Off/On when turned On
Hello Jerry, The ISY does not display a separate node for the sense wire.- Boot Sequence of PLM / ISY after Power Outage
Yes, same device as yours but geared toward a point of use area opposed to a centralized location like the DIN module.- GDO Light Program - Status / Control?
I would simply like the program to be halted. Keeping in mind regardless of what I do the remote GDO light will come on until it is turned off by itself.. Which seems to be quite random now, it appears to work by itself 50% of the time. Its the other 50% of the time that I am trying to take care of. I am unsure what kind of un efficient power supply is in that unit but its a huge power hog!- Boot Sequence of PLM / ISY after Power Outage
Hello NeilP, We have been using these web enabled switches for more than 15 years: http://www.digital-loggers.com/lpc.html Some personal details about the switch can be found in this on going install thread here: http://www.brultech.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=929&start=40- Boot Sequence of PLM / ISY after Power Outage
NeilP, As a safeguard I have a remote web switch that pings, schedules, and stages the start up of the ISY and any other network device. This allows me the ability to remote boot any network device or let the system do so automatically. This might be something you could think about for your environment.- GDO Light Program - Status / Control?
Hello All, I have cycled the GDO for 10 plus cycles and all seems fine. I will monitor this program and the GDO for the next few weeks and play back the security recordings as time allows. Much thanks to you all for the insight and confirmation.- GDO Light Program - Status / Control?
Let me explain my scenario and if anyone sees a problem. I am more than happy to change if so it works correctly for the intended purpose. The GDO light has a built in timer which seems to be broken. My program waits for the door to close and leaves the light on for 3 minutes which seems to be a good balance of it being interrupted by the internal GDO timer. Once the three minutes elapses the APL turns off and waits 5 seconds and than restores power to the remote GDO light. All of this hinges on the GDO door sensor being in the closed position. Which must be closed for the program to execute. Based on the above, does there still seem to be a problem? Encrypted By: Phoenix Security Solutions- UD developed PLM
