Hi Guys, Thanks so very much for the input. tbe, did the link work and allow you to set the on/off levels for the buttons? If so, then we can surely add conditional logic to enable this feature only for those KPL version that support it. The main question is whether or not any of the new KPLs actually support this feature. With kind regards, Michel

Hello drw, I am so very sorry to hear this. Please go to Tools | Diagnostics | PLM Status/Info. Let me know what you see please. Do you have any older backups? There was a bug with some of the beta releases before 2.7.0 which did not save the programs. If you have an older backup, we can reconstruct the rest for you. With kind regards, Michel

Hi Illusion, It seems that the comm errors happen when your motion sensor is activated. Does this motion sensor control any other devices (in a scene)? Since the issue seems to revolve around when the motion sensor is activated, I would try to figure out what else may turn on at the same time. In short, we have to figure out what's causing the comm errors. With kind regards, Michel

Hi Joel, Thanks. Would you be kind enough to try: http://www.universal-devices.com/99i/2.7.6/admin.jnlp and let me know what you find. Here's what is a little strange: if you do not get status updates it also means that the heartbeat is also lost. As such, you must also be automatically logged out after about every 2 minutes. Is this the case? With kind regards, Michel

Hello Mr. Cook, I am so very sorry to hear this. Would you be kind enough to let me know: 1. What URL do you use to access ISY? 2. Have you tried clearing your Java Cache? 3. What version of firmware do you have (Help | About) If you are not on 2.7.6, it strongly recommend upgrading: http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=3007 With kind regards, Michel

Hi Lee, I have checked this feature with both 2C and 2D and neither one work. If you have newer version, you can try: http://www.universal-devices.com/99i/2.7.7/admin.jnlp With kind regards, Michel

tbe, Darrell mentioned that he had spoken to you and clarified what was going on. What you are looking for is explicitly and intentionally disabled in the GUI since older KPLs did not support changing the on level for KPL button on the link record. The theory is precisely the same as any other INSTEON device so all we have to do is to re-enable this feature in the GUI. Although I am extremely worried that this feature would cause support issues for customers with older KPLs, however if you wish - and you do not mind playing with an alpha firmware - please contact us (support@universal-devices.com) and I'll send you the firmware with the feature enabled. Please note that for same-device mutual exclusivity you must use the Mutually Exclusive button on the configuration page. With kind regards, Michel

TS99, thanks so very much. Apologies for the confusion. What I meant was that the INSTEON protocol does not yet support it. I just checked again with SmartHome to make sure and verified that it's not yet supported. I was told that this is a good feature and that they may work on it in the near future. With kind regards, Michel

Hello Mr. Sullivan, Unfortunately our integration with EZxxx products is not very reliable (except for 2x4 and EZFlora). We were hoping to see Venstar thermostats with external sensors but I have not seen them yet. Above and beyond using another thermostat, I am not sure how else we can get temperature information. With kind regards, Michel

Hi tbe, I am not sure I understand what you mean. You can add the load and non-load button of the same KPL in the same scene. Now, there will be two cases: 1. The scene is activated by a controller in the scene, in which case INSTEON protocol should guarantee the correct status (ISY is out of the picture at this point) 2. The scene is activated by ISY in which case, as #1, the correct status of the buttons should also be guaranteed The main question is: in what scenario does this not work? With kind regards, Michel

Hi brad77, You are correct ... let me think what would be the best way to provide this functionality without undermining too much security. With kind regards, Michel

Hi Ben, I think you should seriously consider taking the MS out of the scene. I understand your point, however - as Mike suggested - if the MS were to respond to INSTEON commands, then the battery life would've been 1/100 of what it is now. With kind regards, Michel

Hi Ben, There would be four permutations, the way I see it: 1. When the Light is On && motion is sensed 2. When the Light is Off && motion is sensed 3. When the Light is On && motion is triggered off 4. When the Light is Off && motion is triggered off So, you can create two folders: 1. Light is On If Status Light is not Off 2. Light is Off If Status Light is Off Now, in Light is On folder add the following programs 1. Motion Sensed If Status Motion Sensor is not Off Then - whatever you like to happen 2. Motion Not Sensed If Status Motion Sensor is Off Then - whatever you like to happen Do the same for the Light is Off folder With kind regards, Miche

Hi Ben, You can add an AND condition to check the status of the light. Or, better yet, you can have a folder which checks the status of the light and then put your motion program in that folder. With kind regards, Michel

Hi cnutco, Some corporate networks do not allow access to certain IP addresses especially those that are private. You may want to ask your network admin at work. With kind regards, Michel

Hi smileyw, The wiki states: Momentary duration can be set manually anywhere from 2 seconds up to 24 seconds or for 30 minutes; 0.2 - 1.8 hours. So, it seems that the minimum is 2 seconds or 0.2 hours. Not .2 seconds. With kind regards, Michel

Hi Ben, You are correct, you cannot enable or disable a motion sensor. You only have one option: to use programs to catch the status of the motion sensor and then act accordingly based on other conditions. With kind regards, Michel

Mark, Thanks so very much for the update. Please do be kind enough to keep and eye and let us know in case it happens again. someguy, The best way would be to look at your logs and search for Start entries. Please keep me posted. With kind regards, Michel

matapan, You do have that feature called Find/Replace. Right mouse click on My Program and choose that menu item. With kind regards, Michel

Hi brad77, Since rebooting may cause other problems (which cannot be detected via HTML), we really wish to we really do not want to expose it in HTML or Programs (one may create a program that keeps rebooting ISY in an infinite loop). My main question is: did you have access to any web browser above and beyond your mobile phone? With kind regards, Michel

Hi Frank, History is against us: we have not yet had a chance to address this issue. Unfortunately, it does not have a high priority and thus I cannot give you an exact date. With kind regards, Michel

Hi markens, Apologies for a tardy reply ... we've been trying very hard to reproduce this problem to no avail. One question: are you sure you do NOT have any other programs that based on certain conditions turn this flag off? With kind regards, Michel

Hi someguy, Does your ISY actually reboot itself every one or two days? Otherwise, Run at startup would be meaningless. In the meantime, we'll check into this issue. With kind regards, Michel

Hi Joe, Got it and responded to you ... please do make sure you have 2.7.6 installed. With kind regards, Michel

Hi aLf, I have seen extremely bright and luminous dimmable LEDs but only in the trade shows. I am sure by the time we are forced into that direction, we'll have plenty to choose from! With kind regards, Michel
