Running an event "Excel"
Hi aLf, Nothing to worry about ... 50 times: an event is sent for each device/state in your ISY. So, depending on when the connection was dropped, and what you were doing, you might get up to the number of devices in your ISY times 12 (the number of operations which can be done on a device). In short, don't worry about it at all. You can use the filter to look only at the logs With kind regards, Michel

ISY Program Commands List
Mark, Thanks so very much for this great piece of work ... you deserve all the credit. Charlie911, Since the pages seem to be too wide, you might want to print using the Lanscape option of your printer. With kind regards, Michel

Running an event "Excel"
d_l, You are right on! This is what it means (sorry for the long technical overview): Every time a client logs in and authenticates to ISY, it receives a subscription ID (SID). ISY maintains the subscriptions and makes sure there are no non-responsive clients out there. As such, each client MUST exit normally otherwise you will see -5011 which in short means: 1. ISY found the client not responding (maybe the computer went to standby with ISY's client open or maybe there was a network connection issue) and therefore expired the subscription 2. The client came back on line and issued a request using the previous SID which ISY had already expired aLf, You can do anything you would do locally remotely as well. I haven't seen your log (it was not attached) but what else do you see beyond the -5011? With kind regards, Michel

AutoUpdate function
Hi All, AutoUpdate no longer requires userid/password so you can discard it (nstein, that's why you didn't get the userid/password for 99i). Frank, point well taken ... this shall be implemented as you suggest. With kind regards, Michel

Reverting to ISY
Hello Frank, Unfortunately the answer is no simply because ISY-26 was not designed with 99 in mind. If anything happens to 99, we'll send you a new one! With kind regards, Michel

All Lights Off on power on or reboot?
mohansen, Yes, the first option deletes (logically/22) all the existing links. As far as ELK, this sounds like a bug ... you should never have to reboot ISY. The next time you are going to configure ELK, would you be kind enough to give it at least 30 seconds. Thanks so very much, With kind regards, Michel

"Load" checkbox in Device Properties
Hi Frank, No, you are not doing anything wrong and thanks so very much for the screenshots. This certainly looks like a bug which we'll have to fix. With kind regards, Michel

"Load" checkbox in Device Properties
Hi Frank, Are you aware that you should first add the new RemoteLinc to ISY before attempting a replace? Has anyone else has this problem? With kind regards, Michel Hello Michel: No, I haven't done a KPL replace. In fact, I haven't used the Replace function at all, yet. Which brings up another slightly off-topic question: even though I have ISY 2.6, I still don't see any way to "Replace" a Remotelinc. I have had to replace one already, back when I was using ISY 2.4.15. I looked at that time for a "Replace" function for my Remotelinc after I had added a new one. But there was no such feature to be found, either in a right-click menu, or in the top menu bar. I still don't see that function in 2.6. Am I looking in the wrong place? Thanks

"Load" checkbox in Device Properties
Hello Frank, Rand and Mark have already answered (correctly) the device properties' utility. Now, let's get back to the question of losing your properties since this might be a bug: In the past, have you replaced any of the KPLs (using the replace method)? With kind regards, Michel

KeyPadLinc question
Hello Dave, No. It behaves the same simply because we have not yet added support for the extra features of KPL 1.5+. With kind regards, Michel

Groups versus Scenes
upstatemike and JAJ, Apologies for a tardy reply ... as I mentioned before, we can maintain the state of a scene. We just have to make sure we're not doing something to confuse those who do not understand the Unified Scene Theory! As a matter of fact, this thread is added to the list of our enhancements. With kind regards, Michel Not much response... No, though perhaps this particular question has become redundant with the introduction of your unified scene theory . With that in place, the user can have both indications even if ISY maintains only a single scene state. Now the question is, how much of this theory will be implemented, and when is it coming... ?

Outside Security Lighting - on nighttime - off daytime
Hello JAJ, We do have a Trigger 2.0 planned which might include the nested conditions. I still don't understand why you cannot use folders and nest them: If folder 1 is true If folder 2 is true If folder 3 is true If Program is True Run Then Else Run Else Of course this does not give you nested Else but it's a start. With kind regards, Michel

Outside Security Lighting - on nighttime - off daytime
Hello d_l, Yes, they are evaluated every time there's a change in state of any device or time. I have already captured the requirement to rename Run to Run Then and it should be in the next release. With kind regards, Michel
-
Outside Security Lighting - on nighttime - off daytime
d_l, The programs are automatically evaluated and, if their conditions are true, are run. You can see their status on the summary page including their state. So, Running the 'If' makes it a little confusing. Does this mean: reevaluate the conditions? With kind regards, Michel Actually this was an idea about being able to make a program evaluate the "If" conditions when run from the Summary page or when run as a nested program. See: http://forum.universal-devices.com/view ... highlight=

All Lights Off on power on or reboot?
Frank, Yes, all ISYs come with that program preloaded. It's up to you not to re-add it. The worst case scenario is: if you have programs that depend on the correct status of the devices and if those devices do not have the correct status, then your programs will not run as desired. With kind regards, Michel Hello Michel: Did all ISY-26s ship with this program? I don't remember it ever being on my system. Of course, long ago when I first got the ISY, I was having many comm problems. I think I that at that time I performed a factory reset, and thereby may have removed it. But then again, life has been just fine without the "3 am" program. Why add it back and rock the boat? Most PLM-related Comm Errors occur "sporadically" (at least for me), I'd probably rather not run the program, the more that I think about it. For instance, if I do an entire network query, it's not uncommon to have 1 or 2 failures. But if I requery those devices that had a failure, they're usually communicating just fine. I attribute these the the general weakness of the PLMs Insteon communication. Since you've written the code for the ISY such that it "tells" you the failed devices the next time that you log on, why should I want to keep seeing failures that don't amount to anything every time I log on due to the "3 am" query. This brings up another topic that is related, so I'm going to start a new thread for it. Best wishes,

How do the new KPL's (v1.5) affect ISY programming?
Hi Rowland, We are going to provide this feature for KPLs 1.6 and above in the next release. With kind regards, Michel

Outside Security Lighting - on nighttime - off daytime
blartyo, Yes, you are 100% correct: - Run means "Run Then" regardless of the condition - Run at Reboot means "Run Then" regardless of the condition With kind regards, Michel

All Lights Off on power on or reboot?
Hello mohansen, Factory reset removes all the schedules. You might want to add back If Time is 3:00 A.M. Then Set My Lighting Query This code makes sure your ISY is in synch with your devices. Adding devices back one at a time and choosing the first option clears each device's database (unless there's a communication error) and, as such, you do not have to do a factory reset on your devices. What do you mean by " ... adding back my ELK configuration"? ISY should not be rebooted at any time and thus I consider this a bug. I'd appreciate as much input as possible. With kind regards, Michel

Outside Security Lighting - on nighttime - off daytime
blartyo, Running a program from the Program Summary tab runs the program regardless of the condition. This is mostly used to test the outcome of your program. You can also choose "Run Else" which runs the Else path. With kind regards, Michel
