Well, I lost a bunch of programs and a bunch others show they need to be saved. I have whole folders empty. The ones that show they need to be saved only show one line of the program: "Run Program " Guess I'll try a restore.

My guess: The computer has a floating point math h/w chip and is able to handle long floating point numbers. The ISY does all it's math in software and makes some compromises as to how many decimal points it uses.

Then how do you know it's the ISY that's off and not your other programs?

Are you guys looking at the sky and watching the sunrise or sunset? How are you determining it's +/- 5 mins off and does it really matter? Have you seen the calculations required to calculate sunrise / sunset times. I'd say 5 mins off was pretty good considering rounding issues. Here's one example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunrise_equation

If you have an iPhone you can download GPS Lite from Motion X for free. It will give you your exact GPS coordinates. I'm sure there are apps for other phones too.

Variable Names - I can confirm Adjust Scene Level - Not sure which window, the one I thought it was looks fine DST Issue - My programs ran fine this morning

Well, today my motion sensor EMailed me that it's battery was low. I replaced the battery. How do I clear the Low Batt status in the ISY? Edit: Never mind. I just queried it and it updated to off. Duh!

MobiLinc lets you customize what is displayed so you can replace ON with OPEN etc. It's a great program and gets better over time.

Functionally I agree, cosmetically though, maybe not. If you use the original RemoteLinc with seperate On/Off buttons at least sending an On or Off to a remotelinc cleans up the ISY status list. The ISY will reflect the On or Off status sent to the RemoteLinc even if the RemoteLinc can't receive the status. Of course, the new RemoteLinc 2 with toggle On/Off is useless. You'll get the ISY display out of sync with the actual RemoteLinc 2 state.

What is it? I don't see it on Smarthome's site.

I use If Status in programs for both of my thermostats and it works well. I don't believe it's possible to get consecutive ONs from the thermostat without there being a matching OFF.

Ah! I'm waiting for the ZS model to access my Smart Meter. It's around $400 or so. I have a friend that will buy my current ISY to offset the price.

If you look in the Green forum and read the post Smart Meters you'll see it is out for certification and queued for the end of February. I also am anxiously waiting for this.

The problem with the IOLinc is that there are "alot" of different ways to set it up. I seem to have hit upon a lucky combination of sensor wiring and momentary setup. An ALL OFF does not open my door if it is already closed and will close it if not. When the TStat support was added to ISY the firmware version for the TStat may well have reset to zero when receiving ALL OFF. I have two current thermostats and can report that an ALL OFF does not affect them at all. They continue working in the same state as before the ALL OFF.

I do exactly the same thing via an ISY program for my nighttime usage. Basically, turn the responder (the one that controls heat/cool) OFF with setpoints like 90' Heat and 60' Cool. Program the other thermostat to Auto with the desired heat and cool setpoints. In a program when Heat Control turns ON set the responders mode to Heat. When Cool Control turns ON set the responders mode to Cool. When either turns OFF set the responder mode to OFF. I do actually have a failsafe program that if the heat is on and the responder misses the OFF command then if the temperature reaches a certain temperature re-send the OFF to the responder. Same for cool mode.

andyf0, You're fantastic and I thank you for the follow up and testing. I would have done this test straight away but it is currently -36'C in my garage right now so fumbling around with little frozen wires 10 feet in the air wasn't going to be fun. If the results proved unproductive or helpful . . . Much thanks again Sir! Teken . . . -36'C? OMG Come to Houston, it's 64' F

Hit ALL OFF 4 times while garage door was closed. Aside from my home turning everything off on the first hit, the remaining 3 hits didn't change anything, the garage door remained closed. FYI, the IO Linc is wired to the Green & Black wires on the sensor so the sensor is ON when the door is closed. Good Luck, if you need anymore info I'm happy to help.

andyf0, Would you mind performing a test for me and see if the *ALL OFF* does indeed operate as you indicate above. I would greatly appreciate it . . . Teken . . . I hit ALL OFF. Everything turned off and the garage door closed. I hit it again and the garage door stayed closed. As I anticipated. I also have two Venstar thermostats and their settings were maintained, they were not reset.

It was a while ago when I set up my I/O Linc but I seem to remember that in Mom C the relay action depends upon the state of the sensor when you set it up. From the manual: Momentary C Use the I/O Linc sensor input to determine whether the I/O Linc relay will trigger. An ON command’s desired state can be programmed to either open or closed. I/O Linc will use the opposite for the OFF command’s desired sensor state. For example, if an ON command is programmed to trigger only when the sensor is closed, an OFF command will trigger only when the sensor is open.

I seem to use my Garage Door I/O linc backwards than everybody else. My sensor is ON when the door is closed and I send an OFF to close the door and an ON to open it. If the sensor is OFF sending an ON has no effect, if the sensor is ON sending an OFF has no effect. It is in momentary C mode but the way the I/O Linc works depends on the state of the sensor when you set the momentary mode. I believe in my case an ALL OFF would close the door or have no effect if already closed.

Can't you Repeat Every 1 Minute and get rid of the Wait?

Go to the summary tab where you see all your programs. Right Click on the program and select "Enable Run at Startup".

You can be notified when power is restored simply by creating a program that sends EMail in the Then section. Then set it to run when power is restored. You might want to put a Wait before sending the EMail to give your modem and router some time to start up.

I am using IE. This is why the change would have to be done in the REST program itself so it is compatible with all browsers.. Thanks Or you can enable the use of it in IE. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/834489 To disable the new default behavior in Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer, create iexplore.exe and explorer.exe DWORD values in one of the following registry keys and set their value data to 0. •For all users of the program, set the value in the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE •For the current user of the program only, set the value in the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE
