Happy New Year to ALL! With kind regards, Michel

Hi mbrett, Apologies for a tardy reply. To support thermostats (which are a little unlike other INSTEON devices), we had to basically redo most of the device management/communication/synchronization code. While going through this surgery, we also included some enhancements such as: 1. Fail safe/Atomic device linking: you can turn off ISY, take out the device, and ISY knows exactly where to start from the next time 2. Batch mode (Pro only): allows you to do all your configurations/linking without having to wait for each to complete before starting the other. When you are done with everything and with a press of a button ISY goes out and does everything. Combine this with 1, and then you will have a worry free installation regardless of what happens 3. Now the UI lets you know which device is being worked on using different icons 4. You can send notifications to different groups of email recipients And more ... All this said, we do need a few more days just to make sure we are not going to crash anyone's system. I am hoping Thursday 12/31. Thanks so very much for your patience. With kind regards, Michel

Hi tome, 1. You receive both on/off in status as well. But, the evaluation happens if and only if the status has actually changed 2. You cannot query the status of a Motion Sensor but ISY keeps track of it for you and is as accurate as your communications. So, if you communications are 100% between the MS and ISY, then your status is 100% correct With kind regards, Michel

Hi Harold, Yes, please check these out: Yes, there are: 1. ISY AJAX: http://forum.universal-devices.com/view ... t=isy+ajax 2. TouchSwitch: http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewforum.php?f=49 With kind regards, Michel

Hi DevonSprings, Sonos would also work well since they do have APIs that you can use within the Network Module. With kind regards, Michel

Hi lapolonyc, Unfortunately Google Checkout's coupon processing is broken (they are fixing it with NO ETA!!!!). If this is the case, and you have already upgraded to 2.7.7, please purchase at full price, and then forward your invoice + the coupon code you are using to sales@universal-devices.com. A refund will be issued to you immediately. With kind regards, Michel

Hi, The problem is that you are using Status for your motion sensor. This means that your program off is going to cause the first program to run if the status of the motion sensor is still on. I suggest using Control for the Motion Sensor in the fist program in which case the program is evaluated if and only if motion is sensed "again". With kind regards, Michel

Hi tome, You are using Control which means that the program gets evaluated every time the motion sensor senses a motion. If you are looking for status change notifications, please use Status. With kind regards, Michel

Hi David, This is a known issue. Please upgrade to 2.7.7 (send an email to support@universal-devices.com). Thanks and with kind regards, Michel

Hi RickL66, I was hoping that you would use the network module to post (HTTP) to your twitter or facebook account. This way, you would not need to use a mail server at all. I will respond to your other post shortly. With kind regards, Michel

Hi Jason, That message in and of itself is not an error unless ISY cannot communicate with EZIO at all. Do you get any other errors? With kind regards, Michel

Hi RickL66, I think a better solution would be Network Module and perhaps a private Twitter account (or facebook). This way, the messages will get there almost immediately (http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=2795). With kind regards, Michel Thanks Michel. I was using 2.7.0 and the best I got my emails was in 18 seconds or longer. I finally tried the 2.7.6 beta and it's down to 14 seconds. If I could hear, that would be good enough for me, but since I rely on visual notifications and getting notifications to my Blackberry due to my deafness, it is critical that I get notified quicker. I am going to be getting 2.7.7/2 next week, don't know if it would make a difference in email speeds, but we'll see. Thanks for the response. Rick

Hi intellihome, Have you tried plugging them directly on top of the PLM. If they are indeed 3 years old, I remember having some strange communication issues in rare occasion where the unit was too far from the PLM. With kind regards, Michel

Hi greg, 1. If you change anything on ISY, it overrides whatever you have done locally on the device 2. 2.7.7=2.7.7/1 (the one you have installed) should have this issue fixed. I think the problem is that you are not using this specific URL: http://www.universal-devices.com/99i/2.7.7/admin.jnlp 3. When you use the above mentioned URL, you will get different labels which would make much more sense + they will fix the issues you are having With kind regards, Michel

Hi slopdog, Are these statuses or controls? With kind regards, Michel

Hi Devon, Excellent idea. The closest I've seen is Sonos with the Network module ... but, this is not going to be as seamless and integrated as Control4. With kind regards, Michel

Hi RickL66, The email speed depends on three things: 1. The specified timeout 2. How long it takes the SMTP server to respond 3. How many other tasks of higher priority are running It's quite unlikely that ISY will ever be able to send emails within 5 seconds. With kind regards, Michel

Hello, Apologies for a tardy reply. We had to push back the date till Monday. Thanks so very much for your patience. With kind regards, Michel

Not at all! With kind regards, Michel

Hi tome, You usually see that after a duplicate message. In short, the process message failed since it was a duplicate of the previous message. Some RF devices send their messages twice (for reliability) and ISY intelligently discards the duplicate. With kind regards, Michel

Hi Al, Have you recently replaced your PLM? 87 links in your PLM is awfully low unless you have just a handful of devices. If you still have record mismatches, it means that ISY could not write to that device. Try the compare one more time but this time make sure you read the whole Device Link Database again before doing the compare. With kind regards, Michel

Hi Al, This cannot be!!! You will have to click on the Start button first to choose your device/Start the process. Did you do this? With kind regards, Michel

Hi Al, Would you be kind enough to go to Tools | Diagnostics | Show Device Link Table ... when done, click on the Compare button. If you do not have identical records, then do a Restore Device on it. Personally I think the problem is that you do not have any links in the PLM for those other buttons. What is your PLM firmware version and how many links does it currently contain (Tools | Show PLM Link Table --> Count). With kind regards, Michel

Hi wacvmd, I do apologize for not seeing your original post. You can use the OR to include other devices in your conditions. But, perhaps, I am not understanding what you are trying to accomplish. You are always welcome to call our tech support line to schedule a call so that we can walk you through some of these difficulties. With kind regards, Michel

Hello slopdog, Yes, this is correct. All you have to do is to replace your battery and then issue a Query on the low bat node in the Admin Console. With kind regards, Michel
