display of time in web interface
drw, Is it 2 minutes behind even in your MAC/Firefox? We need to make sure whether or not this is a bug (regardless of its severity). With kind regards, Michel

display of time in web interface
drw, Great! This is good news ... 1. You might have to clear Java cache if and only if you've done a firmware update. Otherwise, there's no need whatsoever. 2. I have not used Windows in Parallel. Do you have Control Panel? If so, you should follow: 1. Control Panel->Java 2. Click on Settings (at the bottom) 3. Click on Delete Files (at the bottom) With kind regards, Michel

drw, Thanks. It's very possible that we have a Java cache issue here. Would you be kind enough to clear your Java cache as well? With kind regards, Michel

drw, This is really odd! I just need to make sure that when you log back in the time is correct, right? With kind regards, Michel

SM Command Results
Hi JAJ, Yes. For instance, you have used 228 nodes (170 byte blocks) and, as far as memory is concerned, you can support more programs. The rest are objects that are dynamically allocated and deallocated and are there only for debugging purposes. With kind regards, Michel

SM Command Results
Hi JAJ, It would be very difficult to explain these numbers with the object using those memory blocks. In short, the first column is the size of memory block used (in bytes) and the rest is self explanatory. With kind regards, Michel

Assessing Efficiency of Solution Options
IndyMike, Thanks so very much for your post and most valuable information contained therein. Rod, ISY-26 and 99 share the same amount of flash=512K ISY-26 has 2MB RAM ISY-99 has 8MB RAM As IndyMike suggested, you can use SM to figure out how much memory is currently being utilized but we do not yet have any utilities to measure the processor's utilization. Since ISY is a multi-tasking/event driven environment, the efficiency of the programs depend on the amount of information on the reader task (X10/Insteon) and the amount of information needed to be processed. All tasks have priorities; if you are interested, I can share with you the tasks and their priorities. With kind regards, Michel

New ISY User - Did I get a defective unit?
aLf, Yours was an upgrade to 2.6 and thus the name might not be QueryAll ... please look for Shedule 1 and rename it. With kind regards, Michel

New ISY99i User - WAIT programming
feleven! You are 100% correct vis-a-vis the user guide. Since user guide is embedded in ISY thus it will not reflect all the changes/additions that our loyal forum members are contributing on a daily basis to our Wiki site. I think/hope you will find most of the information that you are looking for in our Wiki site (Help->UDI Wiki). With kind regards, Michel

New ISY User - Did I get a defective unit?
Hello arjnur, Is this an open box/refurbished unit by any chance? You can always add back a program to query My Lighting at any given time. Please let me know if you'd like more instructions. With kind regards, Michel

Power Outage and ISY 26/99 (versions 2.6/1.0)
Hi Frank, Yes, your approach should work without issue unless there's a program that's run in which case a non-operating PLM will cause status errors. And, may I know why you do not have the 3AM Query running? With kind regards, Michel Hello Michel: That's very possible. There may have been one or more programs trying to execute during the time that the PLM was off. Yes, I could have just performed a network query, and if it ever happens again, I will try that. But the problem is that if I had been gone, and the power had gone out, maybe the same problem would have occured. Since I don't use a "3am status query" for the ISY, then my status readbacks would be wrong. That is the reason that I took the ISY off the UPS and put it onto the same outlet as the PLM. At least that way, it should reboot properly. Should this approach work without issues? Thanks

Power-On Initialization of EZIO2x4
Hello Doug, Please find my answers below. With kind regards, Michel This program is tested/evaluated every time there's a change in the status of that device. If the status of the device never changes then the "Then" clause will never ever again run! No, it only repeats the Actions within it See above

Power-On Initialization of EZIO2x4
Hello dkaye, Here's what I'd suggest: Create a program such that the condition is 'when' you want your furnace to be on (say, winter nights). Save this program and then go to Program Summary tab, choose this program, then choose Run at Boot, and then click on Apply. This way, your program will run after reboot. With kind regards, Michel

Power Outage and ISY 26/99 (versions 2.6/1.0)
Hi Frank, That is quite interesting and something that should not happen. It's possible that ISY tried some of the programs during the time your PLM was unplugged; that could explain some of the problems. Next time - if there's one - instead of rebooting ISY, may I humbly ask you to simply do Query on the Network node? With kind regards, Michel Hello Michel & Mike: For what it's worth, I found that approach actually caused me a problem. I had my ISY-26 on my UPS, and the PLM plugged directly into the wall. They were both on the same circuit, but the ISY was on the backup. I had to turn that ciruit off to do some work on my home wiring. That meant that the ISY stayed on (due to the UPS), but the PLM went off. The circuit was off for some time (20 minutes?). When the PLM came back on, the communication with the ISY was messed up. If I remember correctly, many of the status readbacks on "My Lighting" were missing. Due to this, some of my programs that depended on devices statuses were not functioning. I had to power cycle the ISY to get it to sync back up with the PLM. It then found the PLM, ran its reboot systemwide query, and everything was good again. Based on that experience, I took the ISY off of the UPS, plugged it directly into the same outlet as the PLM, and the next time I turned that circuit off, the PLM and ISY came up together with no problems. Best wishes,

ISY is great, but is this normal?
Charlie911, Yes, it's normal especially if you have the run-at-reboot set on your programs. With kind regards, Michel

"Replace with" instructions for ToggleLinc
Hello Frank, Apologies for a tardy reply and thanks so very much for finding yet another bug! Yes, indeed we forgot to put a prompt in the replace function to warn the user when the replaced node is in any scene which also has an RL. This has already been rectified and is part of the next code drop ( http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?p=5399 ). My comments below. Thanks again and with kind regards, Michel Apologies ... this was an oversight on our part which has already been rectified Not normal and definitely and oversight on our part No Yes, absolutely correct!
