Thanks The logic may not be 100% correct but I get the idea and can work from this Are the system variable documents anywhere?

I am on latest beta of v5 5.16 Thanks

Hi Is there a simple way to check on a range of dates/months without specifying the year Say From Nov 20th to Jan 1st (every year) enable Xmas lights or similar I can probably do this through a node server, but it would seem natural to do this using a built in option Thanks

Thanks Are there better thermostats to use with the ISY994 - that will support remote sensing - I only have a single HVAC control point, but want to control the temp from different rooms (one at a time) Longer term I may want to try to control airflow, but that is the second step My thinking was that I can emulate the thermostat behavior in one of the two modes in the ISY e.g. in simplistic way when remote is control its room temperature - I do not really care about the temp in the other room when remote is controlling (if not in control the main runs as normal thermostat as the two thermostats are not linked ): prog1 if temp.remote is "too low" then setpoint.main =+1 prog2 if temp.remote is "too high" then setpoint.main =-1 The alternative is to make the remote master and sense temp with an main the sensing node. The issue here is updating the remote setpoint. - Not sure how reliable that will be from the ISY Any other suggestions - or alternative thermostats to consider.

Hi I have been searching the forum but cannot seem to find the recommended way to control a two room thermostat setup. What I am looking for is a way to control one room's temperature during the day and another during the night - from the same HVAC (full house). I have two thermostats (2441TH in the one room controlling the HVAC and 2441ZTH in the other -ZTH is 5V powered - not battery). My idea was to use the 2441ZTH's temperature in an ISY program to control the setpoint of the 2441th - during the time where the ZTH is used to set temperature. However, it seems difficult due to the 2441ZTH implementation. it seems it only updates control on temperature changes and often needing multiple degree changes - even when on 5V supply. What is the best way ? - I wonder if it is better to have the ZTH as master and use 2441th to control setpoints during the time where TH is controlling (or is that also an issue of sending commands to the ZTH to change setupints)? I do not see a way to switch master on/off on ZTH fromthe ISY In general, what is the best way to acheive my goal when using two thermostats ? Any recommendations?

Thanks If I use a backup to enable it, can I then go back and restore a new backup afterwards (where I am now) and still have the node remaining? I have too maby changes after then removal for it to make sense unless above works Thanks

Hi A while back I erased one of my control outlest on EZflora (I did not havea need for it then, and did not want it to show up). Now I would like to restore it. Is there an easy way to restore it wittout reinstalling EZflora. E.g. I erased the control of port5, so only port 1-4 and 6-8 show. How do I get port5 to show? Thanks Chris

I wonder if WB uses GMT time (8 PST is midnight GMT) Do we see rain picking up after 4pm, but before midnight? I really wonder if one could simple make the daily summary at midnight GMT and then use that for calculating the irrigation - and temp etc probably needs to be done differently - Does anybody have experience with a private weather station feeding WB? will that also reset @ 4pm?

would it be possible to use an alternative to weatherbug - there are several other options

I am referring to a later switch between 19:02 and 20:12. It seems rain count is reset - I normally assume that the rain count is reset @ midnight, but here it seems to be much earlier - thus I get wrong rain count Am I missing something? Chris

Do we understand what happens at 2/8 around 8pm - it is like rain is reset - but it does not happen the day after Chris

I must have had a reset as well - the reported rain was about 1/10 of actual - in Bay Area

Thanks I am trying not to use secondary controller (raspberryPi) sitting between the ISY and the alarmsystem I did try this and did not find raspberryPi to be stable enough for this Chris

Hi Just wondering if there still is a plan to integrate other home security systems other then ELK . There were promises about DSC and Honywell in the past. I am at the point of replacing my home security system and would really like to integrate directly into ISY (mostly react on security systems states - e.g. not turn AC on if window is open etc) I would like a wireless system (for easy of deployment) so DSC and Honeywell are clear options - ELK less so. The alternative is z-wave integration using 2GIG and Simon Xti, and then have ISY be a parallel Zwave controller - not sure how successful people have been with this sofar. Any update/suggestion Chris

I did not try without - I think it was 5k6 naturally the gnds of dsc and iolinc will also need to be connected

I have an iolinc connected to dsc and it works fine. You need to add a resistor between iolinc input and iolinc 5v (pull up). Naturally you need to set the dsc to output the desired state on the PGm pin Chris

Do you know if one can buy waterproof sensors compatible with the CAI board? Christian

Thanks I guess this is exactly what I need Christian

Hi Does anybody have a suggestion of components to enable monitoring of pool temperature. I want to get the temperature (Wireless sensor?) and read it into the ISY. I assume this must happen through the network interface, and maybe using an raspberryPi or similar board computer to present it My idea is to control the pool pump run time based on weatherbug data and pool temperature. Should allow some electrical savings Thanks Christian

Hi Has anybody experiencing issues with rain fall in weatherbug/climate information We have had significant rain the last couple of days, but all stations report 0.0" - this naturally screws up the irrigation system. I have my system summarizing in the evening and running in the early morning the following day if needed. If this is common, does the irrigation solution really work? Christian

I am running 3.1.14 Tried to reset the synchrolinc and still the same issue Any ideas? Christian

Lee Thanks I have tried several outlets, and the result is the same. I did manage to get it to show up once, but it never fully worked, so I removed it to try again. It is possible to disable he IR - I am currently not using it. It is likely coming from an LED close by Any other ideas - do you think the unit may have gone bad? Christian

Hi I am having problems getting my new synchrolinc to linc. Here is my log - does anybody have an idea what is going on.

Lee I do not think it is a power line problem - but I'll try. I can query the device and get the correct state. Does the ISY only update on changes of state or does it query every X min? Thanks Christian

I wonder if it is as simple as status should be control (only execute once key is pressed) I have a similar problem, but probably different. My sensor state does not update - I wonder if is is some of the settings on the IO linc. E.g. I start up the console, and the sensor shows OFF. I run a query, and it updates to the correct state (which is ON). I have a program and it executes as if the state if OFF. Christian
