Hmmm, it didn't work twice before but now it does. Thanks

Michel, thanks. Will I be able to use Mobilinc remotely away from home too?

Should an INSTEON OutletLinc work with the ISY Portal/Echo? Mine does not but all my other devices seem to work fine. I can turn the plug on and off through the admin portal but not with Echo.

So I received my Echo and it's installed and working. It is linked to my Honeywell thermostats. Now its time to do the INSTEON integration. I've read a bit and see the ISY portal. But if I go that route, what client on my iPhone would I use to access my INSTEON devices remotely? Today, I use Mobilnc with their subscription service. Isn't the ISY Portal just the communicates vehicle, i.e. it is not a client app?

With my Mobilinc subscription, I can control my devices remotely from anywhere. Can I do this with the ISY portal? Will the Mobilinc app use the ISY Portal? If not, what app would I use to remotely control my devices?

I actually just found this http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Main_Page#ISY_Portal.2FAmazon_Echo.2FIFTTT which is very helpful.

I have been an ISY994i user for some time. I also use Mobilinc on my iPhone and iPad. But I just where my Honeywell RTH9580WF thermostats are controllable via Amazon Echo. That lead me to the INSTEON hub which led me to a thread that said I could integrate my ISY994i with Echo. Whew! What I'm looking for is some clear documentation on the ISY Portal and how to connect it to Echo. And what happens to Mobilinc? Do I simply stop using that? Any pointers to integrating ISY with Echo would be most appreciated. I have several programs and scenes in my ISY that I don't want to abandon. Thanks!!

Oberkc, good idea! That would eliminate the spurious door openings too I would think.

Thanks for the discussion on this. So first, my random triggerings of the door are unexplained. My father would have said, "Probably sun spots." That was his favorite line many years ago when he had issues with his X10 system. I don't know if there is some way to debug why these random events occur or not. If you have any suggestions, please pass them on. The IOlinc on the door just allows me to know when the door goes up or down. I originally thought I'd tie it to a geofence but decided that was more work than it was really worth. The good news on the random events is I get notified and with Mobilinc I can shut it again regardless of where I am. Now, I could eliminate the problem I suppose by just taking the IOLinc out. The program I was thinking of would only be active from probably midnight to 6am just to make sure the door stays shut at night automatically. Maybe I should just take the IOLinc out.

My garage door will randomly open. Doesn't happen often. I get a text alert when my door goes up or down. See the attached screen shot for the code I got here to provide this alert. What I'd like to do is have a program running from say 11pm to 6am that shuts the door if it opens. I think I could use this same style code to do that. But it has been a while since I looked at this and I don't recall why the If test checks for the Garage Door-Sensor being switched On and for it NOT being switched off. This code does work but someone help me understand it a little better? Wouldn't just checking to see if the sensor is switch on be enough? Thanks.

For the 2nd time in about 6 weeks, in the middle of the night, all my INSTEON devices controlled through my ISY994i which were all off at the time, turned on! All of them! Is there any way to debug why this is happening?

Well I ended up trying Restore Device and that fixed it. No clue what happened but its working so I don't care.

Yes, when I press and hold the button, the lighting devices in the scene show the % the device is on. But when I click it once or double click it, nothing happens. Not sure how to read a link table.

Not what I mean. The actual plug INSTEON device is showing up in red italics. Doesn't that mean the plug is a controller too? How is that set? Can it be turned off? Why would it be helpful to have on?

I have a scene with 4 plugs assigned to it and 2 different RL2440 buttons. One of the plugs shows up in red italics which i believe means it's a controller. Why? I never set it up this way? See attached screen shot.

I have installed the last 2 updates to my ISY994i. Current version is 4.5.1. My RemoteLinc 2440's have worked fine for a long time but now the on/off functions of the buttons don't work. In the Admin Console, if I press any of the 6 buttons, the current state stays blank and the scene it controls does nothing. However, if I press and hold the on button for a scene, the lights all gradually come up to full power. And likewise, I can slowly turn them off by pressing and holding the off button down until all lights go off. What is happening and why are the on/off functions not working properly?

Ok thanks. One last question. Can I have 2 z-wave thermostats in the house running from the one controller? I have 2 zones in my house. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

MWareman, do you have any screenshots from Mobilinc for the interface to the Trane Z-wave thermostat you could share?

Can you point me to the devices by chance? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Is the zwave compatible with the ISY? How about Mobilinc? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It is not changing states from awake to leave to return to sleep at the defined times. If I go through the process to set the time again, it jumps to the right phase. But it won't do it automatically. Defective thermostat maybe? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Is the NEST thermostat compatible with the ISY994i? I'm not too thrilled with the INSTEON 2441TH.

One more question and I'll quit bugging you on this topic. So by adding the repeat, that says to me that this Low Bat is not an event that triggers this code to run like other events. e.g. when my garage door goes up or down, I have code to tell me the door is open or closed. Rather, this low battery event must be caught once it gets set to On. Is that right?

So Teken, should this simple program work then? If Status 'Outdoors / Front Door Motion-Low Bat' is On Then Send Notification to 'Kent Txt' content 'Low Battery'

Larrylix, I have 3 MS right now and I'm just trying to find a way to be alerted when the battery is getting low rather than having to discover it by trial and error. Gee, this motion sensor doesn't seem to be working anymore. Guess I better check the battery. If that is the way, then oh well. I'll live.
