Does this operation work for simple changes such as adding a new device(s) and not just programs? If so, I thank you so much for calling out this feature and how to deploy it!

Absolutely !! This winter will be very long, cold, and dark. I would rather not be outside in the garage, yard, etc if at all possible when the *magic* time of doing a update / configuration change is required.

Currently, the Houselinc 2 software does allow this feature to be invoked and update the said motion sensor. As an aside, this same feature was removed in another release, but then restored in the last iteration of the HL2 software. Because, it was resoundingly stated this one feature was not only wanted, it was needed. I hope in the future, what ever limitations that is stopping this feature is considered for implementation with in the ISY platform.

I would like to add my vote to the energy display also. I was not aware that the UDI team was waiting for more request for product support. I just always took it for granted that each new Insteon device would simply be added into the road map.

I am not sure if this question has been posed before by the forum members here at UDI. Will the ISY in the future have the ability to communicate with the motion sensor and update its programming as it is done with the HL2 software? Currently, the HL2 software allows the user the ability to simply walk over to the motion sensor, awaken it. Then, this allows the motion sensor to be updated with out the need to remove it from its installed place and press the set button. In the very near future I will be installing several motion sensors above the 20 feet range. I am not looking forward to climbing up a ladder in sub zero temps, in the dark, to simply hit a idiot button. I hope this feature will be incorporated into the next firmware release in the not too distant future. Teken . . .

Yes, it must be the firewall at work. Strange thing is that once in a blue moon the ISY does pop up the devices not found and plugged in. This happens maybe once out of 30-40 attempts though . . .

First attempt with 3.1.8 failed, upon second attempt the upgrade went fine. Tried the newest beta release of 3.1.9 tonight and the same *first* upgrade failed. Performing a second upgrade completed fine . . . The UI does appear to load much faster as one member had noted prior. All systems appear to be fully operational and was able to perform a full back up with out fault. One thing to note is that from work I can not make the ISY show the true status of the devices once I turn them on / off. If I didn't have 16 cameras running in the home I would not be able to confirm the status. I am not sure why this behavior exists to be honest. Normally when I log in from a public address the ISY will alert me of any of the appliance links which are not plugged in. So from there I have to close all of the pop up windows. When I am at work none of the 12 Appliance links which are unplugged show up as being a problem??? This is how I know the ISY has not loaded correctly, or perhaps not able to communicate fully to me on my end. PS The weather bug also does not populate either and this is also another indicator to me that the ISY will not show me the on / off status. Insight??

All is well and the upgrade went very smooth. As always I must thank the entire UDI team for their continued support, updates, and first class customer support. Also, I did receive a refund for the $15.00 which did not go through with the discount code. Much thanks to all and continue the path of having the best HA controller on the market!

Michael, I purchased the Irrigation module using the Google check out but there was no place to insert the coupon code. So I do believe it was charged at the normal rate of $19.00 USD, and assistance in getting that code to work to receive the module for limited offer would be greatly appreciated. Also, I tried to purchase the weather bug module as well. But, the system kept crying about too many items with some line code??

Andyf0, Could you write out the program I am looking for using your example above for me. Some of this stuff is just past my simple understanding right now. If <---- This line of text is what I am confused about. Time is 1:00:00 pm Then $State_1 -= 1 $State_1 Init to $State_1

I am stuck on the last portion of this program. How and where do I add in the time in the If portion you have below? I will definitely use your light bulb idea to confirm the operation of this program once I get this last portion done. Much thanks to both of you for the guidance. Lastly, with out the variables being a option, could this task not be done with a simple program? If Time is 1:00:00 pm Then $State_1 -= 1

Where is this --> $State_

I would like some help in creating a program which will turn on a power bar every two weeks (15 days) for 3 hours in duration. Once that time has passed, the program would end. This program would continue forever . . . I would like the program to start on Saturday at 11:00 AM, then turn off at 2:00 PM. Your help and assistance is greatly appreciated . . . Also, I would like to have a e-mail sent to me to confirm that this program has indeed started and ended. Much Thanks Teken . . .

Really? What version is this RL? I want to try!

Upgraded and all appears fine . . . Will be doing more tests in the next few days to confirm full operational stability. BTW: I personally don't mind all the updates. This just re-affirms my belief and loyalty to your product and those who support the ISY. All of you should be so proud to know you're helping millions of people around North America to make their lives easier, safer, and convenient. All the while supporting a greener environment to sustain the world. Much thanks as always . . .

Install went fine . . .

Thank you for the information. Just so I know why is the light bulb used in this instance instead of the standard square icon?

Just installed my first outlet linc device and enrolled it into the ISY. I noted that the icon displays a light bulb and the words are in blue text? Why is the text blue? Why is there a light bulb instead of the standard square thingy?

All is well on this end . . . As always much thanks for the continued improvements and added feature sets.

Brian, I was not aware this was how the scene tests was intended and operates. This would explain why sometimes a scene would fail when I was doing some testing, yet the activation of the scene operated normally. I am not sure if this has ever been covered or explained before. But, I would like to thank you once again for all the information and insight. This is why having these discussions are so important . . .

That would be most excellent upgrade feature.

Please do keep us updated, as I am in the same boat.

If I press a few random buttons on one KPL there are INST-SRX'S, pressing the same device via the ISY admin console appears to be none. Also, there are tons of *standard clean up* messages that follow each activation of a device in a scene.

Is it possible to turn on / off a switch so quickly that there are com failures or collisions of the information going to the switches? Also to be clear this behaviour is present turning on switchlinc timer, icon relay, KPL 8 buttom dimmer, and lamplinc dimmers. I can turn on / off the same switchlinc timer 5-6 times with out faulter, than later it will accept the off command, yet will not turn off the load? Doing the same thing, and waiting 30 seconds, the same device will not respond to a ON command, unless you double tap the ON button, or select the Fast On, or Fast Off? I have tried this using Opera 11.0, IE 8, and via the Java console. I can not state for a fact which of the three is more reliable at this point in time as I can be standing here turning on the same device for an hour either fast, slow, or waiting in between with out problems. Also, I am able to turn on / off the same device physically at the switch with out faulter either locally, or remotely using one of 4 KPL's. I dunno . . .
