Hello Jay, Yes, search for Prowl in the Apple Store and follow the steps outlined in the UDI Wiki. This will offer you those push notification *Pop Up* badge alerts your Mom has and see's. http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i_Series_INSTEON:Networking:Mobile_Notification

Jay, I am not sure what you mean by *notifications* unless your speaking about *Push* alerts. If so, you can use the iOS Prowl smart application and it will send you push alerts which obviously gives you badges to select from.

Does your dryer vent line and exterior fixture not have a flap? Maybe those living in more temperate locations don't require such basic measures when compared to some of us living in extreme arctic weather.

As noted by others this device is a passive coupler and simply bridges the two sides of the split single phase electrical system in the home.

Thank you all for the great insight, sleuthing, and detective work. Does anyone have immediate needs for such a product? Would this be a good dry contact replacement of the Smartinet / Insteon I/O Linc?

Great find but am curious about the hardware details which are pretty thin. I'm not asking you to answer just the questions bouncing around in my head. - Does each relay support 10 amps vs splitting the total between all 16? - What are the relays supporting 3, 5, 12, 24, 120 VAC / DC? - Assuming this product had no controller like the ISY Series Controller does it offer timed latching? - Can it be set to be N.O vs N.C? - What does this product use for a power supply and if external whats supposed to be?

Based on my initial testing using the weather module the announcements only happen once during a state of change. What determines that state of change still eludes me so if someone has factual information about the theory of operations of the weather module that would be great to know. The issue that I wanted to address was specifically to hear the warnings for Blizzard, Hail, Freezing Rain, etc. Several times in case it wasn't heard the first time because my current kludge speaker set up doesn't allow the messages to be heard in all parts of the home. Which I plan to resolve once I finalize what audio system fits in my environment and meets all of the future needs. I may play around with the repeat function using a time interval to see if that works. My only concern is trying to balance the interval where its not annoying vs being useful. Thus far everyone is just blown away at what is being proactively spoken, announced, and communicated about the homes electrical, security, climate, weather, infrastructure, network, etc. LOL - Oh thank God I wasn't the only one being called on the carpet. About not testing voice announcements while others are sleeping!

Hello Bill, May I ask a few questions here if I can. - When you say the announcement happens every 5 seconds is that actually happening or perceived? I ask because I haven't seen this kind of behavior as of yet. I am slowly completing many of the weather, environmental, and HVAC announcements for my own home now. The problem I am running into is based on the WiKi some weather states don't seem to be present vs what is actually seen in the admin console via the weather module. Case in point we had three *Blizzard* warnings / conditions and fuzzy memory recalls they were indicated in the weather module but the WiKi makes no mention what the correct variable would be to use to capture this. BTW: All the thanks must go to my 2017 Super Hero - Thanatar. My only contribution was to document the steps in a manner which made sense to everyone who isn't so quick on the draw like me! Ha . . .

I believe your going to receive a PM from me in the future regarding this template. Once again thank you so very much for taking the time to offer your hands on experience and effort in making this project so Plug & Play. Is it safe to say if someone aligns the plastic template on the laser printer it will be pretty much centered?

I believe using some of these services / apps to auto generate a complex password is fine. But I have to agree letting a 3rd party vendor have direct knowledge, access, and store those very same passwords in the cloud is simply asking for trouble. The closest thing I use to something like this is from a Swedish company which is known to protect the user data to the Nth degree. I would never trust any other country which has a Government bent on spying and breaching every privacy right known to man. You want complete protection regarding passwords keep it in your head. You want something close for complex passwords and documents call upon the Swiss!

I suppose just being a lowly average guy the sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, is up to me. I know of 400 ways to spend that kind of money and it clearly wouldn't be for a maid, house cleaner, auto bot. I know lots of this comes down to time vs money for some but vacuuming actually relax's me plus I enjoy seeing the cross cut hatch on the carpet when I am done. Too bad it lasts only as long as the family are gone from the home . . .

Basic Level: You can have multiple controllers so long as each controller only has direct linking & integration with those specific Insteon pieces of hardware. I do this already on several *Mini* networks in the home for proof of concept, testing, and long term validation of projects on the go. Advanced Level: Some have talked about using the Network Module, Node Server, Polyglot to enable two way hardware status awareness of two controllers in the home. As of this writing I have never read of one single person actually doing this in a production environment. This is the next step for me assuming the details are fleshed out and it actually works besides on paper. UDI PLM: As of this writing there has been no updates as to the current status of the UDI developed global PLM. Past threads in this forum indicated the company was waiting for Smartlabs to finalize sale of the required PLM chips. Along with enabling the UDI company the ability to flash the hardware with new firmware should it ever be required. It has been almost two years since this endeavor has been discussed along with the company actually having working prototypes. Which UDI notes actually works and is simply waiting for the two specific areas to be agreed upon. Should you feel compelled to make you voice heard please take the time to sign up and like this post: http://forum.insteon.com/forum/main-category/new-insteon-device-wish-list/8221-plm-pro This was my last reply in that specific thread:

$400.xx ?!? - Just Wow . . .

That's one of many benefits of living in one of the greatest nations in the free world!

The original question was more pertaining to the ISY Series Controller then the portal. But thanks for the heads up on the minimum password length. I thought it was kind of funny Chris's reply notes the user name can be one character?!? Even though having been forced to use extremely complex passwords for my entire life. I do have to say having the option to use what ever you wish is most welcomed. Because when you're using more than 12 characters everyday it gets old real quick especially if you need to enter it over and over again! The only more annoying thing is having to wait for a smart card to change values and enter the very same into a sms message and wait for another set of keys! That's super annoying . . .

Hello Mango, Just start a new thread in the Questions and Answers and just reference this thread for a high level over view.

How old is the PLM and what does the white sticker say on the back along with the firmware? Have you completed a PLM table compare to see how many links you have? Do you have a large insteon network with lots of scenes?

Must be nice having those week end deliveries - I can't say this is something we here in Canada are used to seeing. I may have seen a few Fed-Ex, UPS, Purolator, from time to time for businesses. But rarely have I seen week end deliveries for consumer goods. Even though I noticed on the Canada Post web site week end delivery is available? In all my years I have never received a single package from Canada Post on the week ends not even to the community mail box!

Just to clarify have you used both options to add the leak sensor? One is with the auto the other is using the two whirling arrows and you press on the set button of the device. If you haven't tried the other please do so and also reboot the ISY before you add, delete, etc.

I only asked because what I quoted from you made it sound like using the admin console did make it work even though it didn't make a click. If both units are indeed dead I would be considering more SPD's besides the one on the main panel. As I have blogged about for years a layered approach from meter, panel, to load is the only thing that will offer a measure of protection. Finding two exact units giving up the ghost is the results of a electrical event whether it be a surge vs sag.

Your going to have to help me here a little - When you select the I/O Linc of choice via the Admin Console does the hardware actually make the relay inside go *Click*? The fact the Admin Console displays a on / off doesn't mean anything because the system just assumes it worked. We all know this whole shoot and go isn't to be relied upon for confirmation.

What is the ISY Firmware and UI displayed under the Help tab?

In the past a v.00 was normal because the older ISY Series Controller firmware didn't support firmware ID's. This didn't impact the devices from operating correctly though. Fast forward 2017 the sensor(s) should indicate the firmware version in use. In rare cases the device may not properly represent the nodes or features it offers. Best effort should be to delete the sensor, hard reset it, then add it back using the auto configure option.

Any product that doesn't incorporate suction, beat, sweep, would probably be very poor in what many consider a basic job of a vacuum cleaner. What shocks me more then anything in this space is why no one hasn't come out with a sub $150.XX unit. Every unit I have seen exceeds $220.XX Canadian before tax.

Hello Chris, As always thank you . . .
