Hi Kate, How old is your unit? With kind regards, Michel

Hi Xathros, thank you. Hi LeeG, thanks so very much. I do agree with you and we have to keep consistent with the underlying protocol. With kind regards, Michel

Hi Kate, Risky referred to formatting your original SD Card. Apologies for the confusion. With kind regards, Michel

Hi Kate, Shortcut is a bug with Java 1.7 not being able to show .png icons. Workaround Courtesy of Xathros: 1) Open Java preferences and clear the cache (Including applications) 2) Connect to the website and download admin.jnlp: http://www.universal-devices.com/99i/admin.jnlp (Save this to the applications folder or desktop) 3) Double click the admin.jnlp from step 2 (inside applications folder). This will download the applet into Java cache, complain about not being able to create a shortcut, the run normally. Then, all you need to do is to create an alias in the application folder and put on your desktop or open directly from the applications folder. With kind regards, Michel

Hi LeeG, I totally agree with you. At the moment, making an automated link is going to be a little problematic. I think we should agree that the unit has to be removed and then added back. The only remaining question is: can we assume Wet = On and Dry = Off. Does anyone have any problems with this? With kind regards, Michel

Hi again, Yes, you may but it's quite risky. With kind regards, Michel

Hello again, I am so very sorry to hear. In the Adapter there's a little microSD Card. You are correct, ISY supports up to 16GB only. If you wish, you can send your mailing address to support@universal-devices.com and we'll send you one. With kind regards, Michel

Hello Kentinada, I am so very sorry to hear. Flashing red error light means file system error. If you have a new SD Card, please try the following: http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index ... an_SD_Card Please do NOT format your original SD Card since we might need it only because your last backup failed. If you are still having problems, please do let us know. With kind regards, Michel

Hello db2ace2, Indeed quite strange. Can you please copy to clipboard your program for which you had this issue and paste here? With kind regards, Michel

Hi someguy, This must be much more than frustrating; this is horrendous. Is it possible to plug your PLM to a different outlet? Also, do you mind sending me an email (support@universal-devices.com) so that I can forward to our reps at SmartHome. We will have to find the root cause and I am sure SmartHome would certainly want to know what's going on. With kind regards, Michel

Hi LeeG, Thanks so very much for the clarification. I think that's what we have already implemented. Based on the documentation: To address: 0x00 0x00 0x04 Mode: Broadcast cmd: 0x11 = dry; 0x13 = Wet param: 0x04 And, this is what we have in our code: if (cmd == LIGHT_ON_INSTEON_COMMAND) { if (param == 0x01 || param == 0x04) { //Dry Set Dry Node to 255 Set Wet Node to 0 } else if (param == 0x02) { //Wet Set Wet Node to 255 Set Dry Node to 0 } } else if (param == LIGHT_OFF_INSTEON_COMMAND) { if (param == 0x04) { //Wet Set Wet Node to 255 Set Dry Node to 0 } } [/code] In short, I think all we need to do is to add group 0x04 as responder in PLM & controller in Leak Sensor and everything else should work as is. The main question becomes support. At the moment - and even though we might not have room in 99 - I think having a heartbeat node would be much easier for users. But, at the same time - and unlike the Wet/Dry nodes, the heartbeat node has both states combined into one. A little bit convoluted. What do you think? With kind regards, Michel

Hi LeeG, Reviewing your comments since we have just started the surgery. I need more clarification on this statement: Thanks as always. With kind regards, Michel

Hi someguy, This is VERY abnormal and something we have never ever had reported before. How new is your PLM? What's the firmware version on it (Tools | Diagnostics | PLM Info/Status)? With kind regards, Michel

Hello kedmund, Please do be kind enough to clear your Java cache (System Preferences | Java | Settings) and then go to http://www.universal-devices.com/99i/admin.jnlp . With kind regards, Michel

Hi Guys, That's not normal. Can you please let me know what's your firmware version? With kind regards, MIchel

Thank you both. Time to get working on this change. With kind regards, Michel

Hi someguy, What's the frequency of PLMs dying? With kind regards, Michel

Hi LeeG, You are 100% correct. I never thought it through. So, we should add another node called Heartbeat that status of which is never changed but we would receive Control. i.e. we always get ON command for the heartbeat so the status never changes. Does everyone agree? With kind regards, Michel

Hi LeeG, Thanks so very much for the clarification. My main question now is whether or not we need to have a 3rd node for group 4 + an additional control called heartbeat. At the moment, I am thinking that we do not need the 3rd node but that we send a DON for group 1 every time we get a heartbeat. Your thoughts? With kind regards, Michel

Hi Mark, Unfortunately ISY does not do multi-zone calculations. There are a few things about the irrigation module that you should know: 1. The amount of water applied per cycle is 100% up to you. If you wish, you can make that a very small number so that the program is called multiple times to water 2. Actual Water applied is dependent on absorption factor ... since you have 10s of different zones, I am not sure how this would work With kind regards, Michel

Hi LeeG, Thanks so very much for the detailed explanation. It seems that we will have to add group 4 for heartbeat. There's just no way out of it as I can see it now. With kind regards, Michel

Hi Simonw So far so good! Request to have your modules transferred You need the PLM without which you cannot do anything. I am not sure what this means. What you need to do is to unplug your 99, plug the PLM into your 994, and then plug your 994 into power. YES. Without the PLM, ISY is in Safe Mode and thus you are not going to see any of your variables/programs.

Hi Brian, All those errors are related to ISY not being able to contact the server. You might want to try a different NTP server. For a list of available ones from NIST, take a look at here: http://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi With kind regards, Michel

Hi Guys, Just got a message from SmartHome: we should be getting the broadcasts as long as the device has been linked (or has at least one link). Has anyone seen these? With kind regards, Michel

Hello az1324, Group FF is the broadcast group. That's how all on/all off work. And, as I mentioned before, ISY should hear these messages (on FF) simply because the PLM already has 2 more links for this device (just like All on/All off). So, the back to the issue of why we are not seeing the heartbeat. With kind regards, Michel
