MrBill - thanks for getting on this subject right away. I guess I wasn't clear, but yes I'm selecting the old device then replace with and the new in line dimmer isn't showing up., and they are both in the main "Devices" folder. The ISY shows the lightbulb icon for the old dimmer and I guess it's a keypad (?) for the new one. Interestingly, when I select on the new in line dimmer in the ISY and then replace with - my lamp links show up as available devices. And vice versa, when I select any of my lamp links the new In Line Dimmer shows up as an available device for 'replace with' perhaps this is because of the addition of ON and OFF buttons to the In Line Dimmer?

My old in line dimmer (2475D) went bad, it couldn't be shut off. I physically replaced it with a new In Line Dimmer v 44 and added the new dimmer to the devices on my ISY. I am able to control the new dimmer through my ISY but it does not show up as an available device when selecting to replace the old In Line Dimmer V 33. Am I missing something or is this option not available between these two devices for some unfortunate reason?

Ive seen referenced here in the forum that the required voltage of the power supply ranges from 5-30 vDC, I may remember that being the case for the 99i, and somebody references that the new owners manual states the same, however I only saw mention of 5vDC in the new manual, and I'm not about to burn up my ISY by following something said by anyone here on the forum other than UDI employees. So, is there a voltage range for the power supply, what is it, and what is the required current ? I'm hoping to power most of my low voltage devices with a single 12vDC power supply where possible.

Thanks Tom C. I used this to solve my same problem!

Lee, you referred to the remotelinc2, then sort of corrected yourself. Does the ISY support the new remotelinc 2?

I can't specifically say whether what you want is possible or not, since I have neither Roku nor Google TV. But, I do control my TV's, WHA system, and DirecTV boxes with my ISY, all control is handled via the network module, and it works great. Control is handled via three different types of communication, TV's via IR, WHA receiver via RS-232 (serial), and DirecTV boxes via IP, so that being said, there's many avenues of control available, one of which someone could assume would be capable of communicating with the subject devices. In addition to needing the network add-on mudule for the ISY, you'll need hardware for IR or serial communication, Global Cache makes devices for both, but if you're looking to control more than one device with serial, I'd suggest trying to pick up a used portserver on eBay.

I've successfully used username:password@networkaddress:port to call upon my ISY from the iRule app

I'm currently using the iRule app to control all lighting through my ISY and it works very nicely with one exception. Feedback. Upon issuing a query (node specific) it takes about 8 seconds for iRule to interpret the returned info. I know the delay is within iRule because the feedback returns almost instantly when queried from a webpage. Others using iRule and a PLM directly, without an ISY, reportedly get their feedback instantly. I was hoping to install my port server between my ISY and PLM (apparently digi port servers allow for serial devices to intercommunicate over a network) making my PLM directly accessible by iRule. Does anyone know if this might be possible?

Found it! http://192.168.1.2/rest/status returns status of each node

Thanks for your patience and excellent help! I'll have to use the info in your last post, the previous query works, but doesn't return the device address, which wouldn't work on a GUI that's intended to show multiple statices. In any case I think I have it now, the only thing I'd like to see differently, would be a query that returned multiple addressed statices, but I don't think that exists. Anyway, thanks again for all your help, now I have to ask, Who pays you?!

rest/nodes/10008/cmd/DON returns <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>200<? I had missed some of the return code in my previous post

I did as you said and looked at the event viewer. It did help me gain a little more of an understanding as to how things operate with the ISY, however it didn't help me progress any with what I'm trying to accomplish. What I did discover, and maybe it really doesnt tell much, because regardless of the command I sent from the app I'm using, or status of any device, what I got in response " <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> " doesn't change

I successfully use a third party app (iRule) to control my lights. A new release of this app now allows reporting of feedback and I'd love to incorporate this into my GUI. How does the ISY report the current status of devices (what is the format or coding)? For example if the on level of a device (0A.23.45) is presently 85 (out of the 0-255 range) what does the ISY send?

I'm having some communication issues with my latest installation, and I'm hoping that by installing an additional dual band device I might be able to correct it. My question is, Can I use the replace device option within the ISY to replace an older SLD with the latest dual band SLD?

Well, it seems kind of obvious now, and it's certainly hindsight, despite how fortunate I've been only losing a handful of devices to a few different power surges over the years, I've finally decided to get a whole home surge protector. Had one been installed in the system were discussing, well, we probably wouldn't be discussing it. At around $200 it's a small amount to pay for the insurance to protect ALL electrical devices in your house, not just the automation based equipment. I recently lost a GFI plug end on my 220V Air conditioner in addition to a SLD, I'm thinking I'm real lucky it was just the plug and not the AC that took the hit. Anyway, just some advice, I'm sure plenty of you out there have a significant amount of money invested in electrical devices / equipment.
