Unfortunately the Compatibitliity settings change didn't change anything for me. Running Win7. I too would really like to see a scalable, or even just one extra "large" size font display for the adm console. * Orest

Both firmware and UI are 4.2.30. Set the event viewer active, and tried the device add. Bizarrely it worked this time!? Here is the trace, from that successful add, in any case ...

I have a mature system with a gazillion devices and extensive programming. Recently two of my original 2486 8 button devices have failed. I purchased two 2334-222 devices, to replace them. The first went in just fine, used the New Insteon Device dialog, and explictly specified the address and device type. It added normally, and I replaced the old device with the new, in the programming device tree. The second device, using the identical steps, consistently gives the following error ... Note that the device firmware version is not recognized, the other device sent its version on interrogation, as usual. I am using the latest stable release, 4.2.30 software. I tried doing a factory reset on the 8-button 2334 device, no difference. Tried adding the device in alternate fashion, by discovery, no difference. I did a simple reboot of my ISY device, and rebooted my computer and cleaned out my Java cache, again no difference. I even jiggled the cords. Should I assume that the device is faulty, and look to a warranty replacement? Anything else to check/do? Thanks. * Orest

OK, thanks. To replace my 99ir, will order a basic 994i, buy the PRO module, and transfer the Weather module. No need for the IR. * Orest

Not to be overly picky, but I just want to be absolutely sure of the following ... Going from an ISY99ir (with IR, but IR never actually used) data backup, there will be no issue restoring that backup to a new ISY994i (no ir), assuming that the IR functions have not been used at all, correct? * Orest

So, there is no "hardware" difference between the 994i and the 994ir ? The IR is just license enabled, like the PRO and other modules? * Orest

I have a 99i/pro/ir, and the weather module no longer works, I understand the weatherbug/ham issue, and that I need to upgrade to he 994. Read the upgrade wiki, but I have a couple of questions not answered there. 1) I currently have the 99i/pro/ir, I do not need the IR, never used it. Do I still need to buy a 994 with IR to ensure I can properly restore from my backup, during the upgrade? 2) I understand that the modules can be transferred with an email to support, Does that include the PRO module? IOW, can I now just buy the base 994 and transfer the PRO module/status over, from my current 99i/pro/ir. Thanks. * Orest

Surprised that no one had anything to say. Turns out it was W7 UAC problems. * Orest

Stable setup, running for some years, large number of programs defined (and backedup) in the isy99. Running the last stable release. Just today, for some reason, I am no longer able to access the programs for editing. All else appears intact when I load the admin interface (did try the main UD java link as well), the variable, the devices, and the system appears to be functioning normally., I can watch the variables changing, as they should be. However, when I click on programs, I get the usual dialog box indicating loading - perhaps persisting a little longer than usual, and then when it stops, the program tab for SUMMARY and DETAILS is blank, except for a "My Programs" folder. What has happened here? Running Win7/64. * Orest

Well, got the replacement v2.2 dongles, have four Venstars to fix up. Very easy process. The steps in bold are things often forgotten. Turn thermostat to OFF (mode). Pull out the 2.1 dongle. Insert the 2.2 dongle. In ISY admin, Activate Link management, Start linking. Push and hold the button on the 2.2 dongle for five seconds, the thermostat screen will flash all its LCD elements. Finish Link Management in the ISY admin. Four new links will appear for the new dongle. You can test that they correctly control the stat. Move your old thermostat links from any folder, to the root folder. Right click on the main link of your old dongle's group. Select Replace with, and select your newly added dongle group. Let her go, it will take a little while. When it is done, the ISY admin will close. Open ISY admin back up, you will see that the newly added dongle group is gone, references to your old dongle adapter have all been moved over not just in the device list, but also correctly reassigned throughout your programming. All good. * Orest

So the Adjust Scene will adjust behavior only in ISY scenes, and will OVERRIDE the local settings. For local switch settings, you need to make the changes in the switch using the ISY admin interface, or use the SET commands, with possibly a power cycling for it to take. I have not fiddled with these yet, it is a little confusing before you wade into it. * Orest

FWIW, for the Canadians here, I just contacted AARTech in Canada, where I purchased the tstats, and they are waiting for a shipment from SM to carryout the swap-out to v2.2 dongles. So all good. Full marks to SM to resolving this issue. * Orest

Have a peek here ... Prioritizing Thermostats using dynamic cycles I have yet to receive by 2.2 swapout, how did yours proceed? Smarthome did make contact, but I am in Canada and bought from a Canadian retailer, so may be out of luck. I have not heard anything further. * Orest

The key to solving this, is to power backup the ISY, so that it does not lose state. You can do one of several things: 1) Set up a program that runs say every 30 min, and queries the status of a dummy relay that is normally held ON. If it is OFF, then the ISY needs to do some clean up. 2) Set up a program that runs periodically, and sets a certain relay to ON. Then it queries the relay say 20 seconds later. If it is OFF, then the power is out right now. Set a variable to note a power outage, maybe send an email, and keep checking. Once the power is back on, cleanup time. 3) Get a delay ON relay (OMRON or equiv.) that will trigger when energized, but say 1 minute afterwards. Hook this up to a 2420, and have the relay ON trigger cause the ISY to realize that the power was off, and came back on, and then it can do cleanup. I have implemented #2 and #3. It was fiddly, but now works quite well. * Orest

... sort of like taking an umbrella with you, to prevent it from raining. * Orest

Thanks. Yes, for me it has just become a curiosity. I dutifully monitor the email reports I get about the automatic thermostat resets periodically. * Orest

Well old news now, but yes regressing to 3.1.2 gives me back the old color. Good that it is fixed. * Orest

Looks like you changed the color of the program code to a dark blue, from black. Makes it a lot harder to see on my laptop. Can you either change it back, or allow a customization? * Orest

The other way of sidestepping the power outage issue is to use the SwitchLinc relays. These WILL survive a power cycle with state preserved ... Preserving relay setting across power failure * Orest

Yes, that is definitely different, sounds a lot more recent. * Orest

Are you sure? I have a Carrier Infinity furnace as well, nothing special about the original Carrier thermostats, standard 5 wire connection. I had a 2 zone Carrier controller initially, but broke it up further by adding a Lennox 4 zone controller. (my HVAC guy changed suppliers) Had to add a pressure triggered bypass on a couple of the zones, it dumps the excess volume back to the return air. Although the Infinity is variable speed, it does not regulate by pressure, but rather only by volume. If there is only a small zone opened up, then the furnace motor could overheat against the high resistance. T1800s work fine. I have them all wirelessly remoted to one central location. Kind of fun watching them work - for a bit anyway! Although the T1800 dongle locks up a fair bit (as most do), I have some programs that monitor for that (posted here), they just power cycle the controller at the panel, and the attached thermostats, and therefore the dongles. Fixes the problem before I even notice it. * Orest

Enjoy! * Orest

I have four T1800s in the house, together with some floor heating zones as well, and some circulation fans. I have ISY control all these, and change their settings automatically and dynamically based on the time of day as well as the "season" (summer-hot, summer, spring/fall, winter, winter-cold). The season is determined by the current temperature and wind chill outside, for a given time of day. This all works very well, but sometimes I want a certain zone to be given priority, the bedroom before going to bed in the summer, or first thing in the morning in the winter. In addition you may wish to give priority to the main floor cooling in the summer, sacrificing the second story until the main floor is satisfied. You may also wish to have a priority button, that will cool (or warm) a given zone rapidly under manual control. The priority mode closes all the other zones for a period of time, and then cycles them back on/off, until the prioritized zone is satisfied, or until the condition driving the priority is extinguished. In any case, the possibilities are many. I wrote a set of programs, the key elements from one zone I highlight below. This is yet another example of machine state programming. There are three levels of program flow, arbitrarily dubbed L1, L2 and L3. L1 can trigger/stop the L2 logic, and in turn L2 controls L3. Control is triggered by passing a true/false state. I use a program variable (vice v3+ variables) for that just by force of habit. The L1 level is where I define the conditions that drive the potential priority setting. For example, if it is morning and it is winter, then do something. When the condition is true, then L2 is triggered by setting condition program variable. There can be any number of L1 priorities, or rules, each having a START and STOP program. Once L2 is triggered, then it decides whether to start the priority cycle depending on whether the current zone is calling, and whether others are calling as well. As appropriate, it triggers L3. L3 does the actual work of cycling the other zones off and on. All taken from the folder Priority Master (Bedroom), enough code to understand the logic. Some "program variables" are used, these programs all start with "var", and are used as a boolean true/false variable, and are probably self-explanatory in their use from the labels. Some v3+ variables are used, state variables all start with "$_", eg. $_pri_mas_tick. "flash seasons" is a program that will reset all the thermostats to normal operation for the season and time of day. The Max/Min tick values are set to determine the percentage time priority. For example, Max can be set to 20, and Min to -10. The tick program decrements the value each minute. When it is set to Max then the zone is set for priority, when the tick reaches 0, then the zones are normalized, when the tick reaches -10, then the tick is set to 20, the zone is prioritized again, and the cycle continues.

Instead of simple time programming to try give priority, this dynamic system gives just the right amount without sacrificing efficiency. * Orest

Most all the Insteon devices that use relays will reset back to OFF (open) with a power failure. The EZIO devices as well, although their status after a power failure will vary somewhat. However, the simple 2476S Switchlinc relay will remember its ON/OFF setting across a power failure. Not sure how long, but certainly at least 5 to 10 min. I have only tested the v.3A firmware. Note that the Switchlinc with Sense (v.37) will NOT remember its setting. If you have something critical that is driven by a relay insteon device, and wish to preserve across a power failure, the plain old Switchlinc is what you need. I now have a bunch of ways to detect a power failure and correct settings across it, but I still use the Switchlinc for things that are critical, like a water valve control. * Orest
