It doesn't matter in the end, just a nice thing to have in my opinion. I do have a good mixture of ON/OFF and dimming devices though which was my reasoning behind it. Now, just to get a thermostat so I can graph temperatures . Side note, I need to get rid of my HRULE as my graphs will never go over 100. Probably the same with the "Average" field.

Thanks again! After playing around and looking at your screenshots, I noticed you are using the 0-255 range. If you set up CDEFs for your graph template you can get the human readable 0-100 range. Here is how mine is set up: Item Item Value Item #1 Special Data Source: CURRENT_DATA_SOURCE Item #2 Custom String: 2.55 Item #3 Operator: /

I just threw your script on my server and after playing with it (I initially forgot to change the port number) got it working just peachy. In fact, I think I will start using your script so I don't have to pull up mobilinc or a browser to check device addresses. Thanks for sharing! It is a minor brain work out to get it going the first time... and the second. Glad you got it working. I do have one question though, how'd you get your 'host_description' working correctly? I leave mine as 'none', though I do have cacti pinging the ISY to check up/down status. I can work my way around cacti, but I am no pro with it. Thanks in advance!

That has gotten me in the past. I just recently (last week) dove in and put Linux on my server and in turn decided to redo cacti. I found it fairly easy to set up templates for everything. Adding a new device is as simple as naming and inserting your address for the device. Then creating the graph which I would assume would be the same as your name you just used.

I have a gesture on my phone, shake left and right! New Profile > Event > Sensor > Shake Axis: Left-Right Sensitivity: Medium Duration: Medium Set it to run your task that you have a widget for. Problem solved! No keypresses and you can do it from any app as long as your phone is unlocked and screen is on!

Bringing this thread back from the dead. King, how do you dim individual devices to specified level (e.g. .../DON/128)? I have tried a few different ways of adding "/" but none work. To compensate, I have a few macros that are DON then 8*x (x=1,2, or 3) DIMs. The only downside to this is that it takes a little while to dim down (and I try to be a minimalist when it comes to this stuff, but that isn't a real issue). Thanks, Bryan

Yes, this is only working locally and would not use this outside of my network (I know, I'm transmitting from my phone, but there are fewer hops as opposed to the public network and don't think people are sniffing wifi traffic around me). Once the certs are squared away, this should work nicely. My issue was two part, silent and then remote. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

Alright. I think I found a way to do this locally and it works flawlessly (for me, at least). In Tasker, make a new task. Then new action using HTTP Get (Net -> HTTP Get) When the Action Edit screen comes up, fill out these two fields with the relevant information: Server:Port http://user:pass@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx Path: /rest/nodes/XX XX XX X/cmd/XXX In NFC Task Launcher, create a new task. Select NFC Change your tag name Add action, Tasker (it's at the bottom) You can then search for your new Tasker task. Select, then OK. Save and write. To make all of this transparent: In Tasker: Menu, preferences Uncheck run in foreground (Only if your device is newer, else just change the Tasker icon to blank) In NFC Task Launcher: Menu, settings Set Notifications to none Vibrate to never Tada! No new tabs/pages for every device. My phone just makes the NFC sound and that is it. Lights adjust automagically and all. Don't even need to leave some apps to do so.

Sorry for the delayed response! Gotta love having sick babies and then getting side tracked. Unfortunately, I do not have the thermostat (yet), and scripting is not quite my thing, so coming up with a fix without screwing with it myself and through trial and error probably won't work too well. I would like to point out that I actually plan on keeping temps and humidity levels tracked in cacti once I get my thermostat. So once I get it, you can bet I will bust my rear trying to get it to work. I do have a very intelligent engineer at work that I will try to see if he can see what's up with it though!

Are you getting an error that looks like this: "Input/Output error for https://example.com/blah: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert. CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found..." If so then it's probably related to you using a self-signed SSL certificate. Here's a message I posted to the Tasker forum about it a little while back: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/taske ... discussion That is the error I am getting (based on my horrible memory at least) I will look into it while at work. Thanks for the information! EDIT: looks like I can't fix this myself. But it looks like mobilinc is looking into tasker integration so I may switch to them instead of conductor if/when they release that feature. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

This is the first time using it for the isy. I have it do just normal phone stuff. It is actually very quick to react to the built in tasks (toggling wifi, sending texts and all the other stuff). Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

Oh do tell.. the little 50 cent tags you can put your phone or tap against to get them to "activate"? Share more on your tasker set up and the challenge you speak of here please. I am guessing that tasker opens the browser to send the command and then that tab is left open and you have to come along and close it manually? You got it exactly. Url method works fine, the part that is hurting my brain is the http get (wget) function. When I am remote, I get a Java error that I do not understand. When I do it locally, just sits there. Somewhat frustrating. I couldn't find any of those tags for $.50, they were closer to a dollar. But you are correct on the sticky part I got a 10 pack to test the waters. I like them, I just don't like trying to do more complex things with them as I have been beating my head on the wall for the past few days I know I'll get it eventually, I always do, it's just a long painful road Haha.

That is the command I currently use and it works well every time as long as it is not tasker issuing commands. What I am trying to do is get my nfc tags to adjust lighting and TV without bringing up 17 browser windows. It currently works, just not gracefully. I think my weak point is not fully understanding the best named tasker. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

Hi All, I am trying to figure out how to get Tasker to send REST commands to my ISY99i. I have tried using shell commands with WGET and using the HTTP Get command in Tasker to no avail. I have tried: https://user:pass@IP:Port/rest/nodes/ /cmd/DON wget --user=user --password='password' https://IP:Port/rest/nodes/ /cmd/DON As well as HTTP Get with the above added to the first field. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So I think I found one possible cause for your errors in your logs. When I had a device that had a 0 as in '0A' in its address, I had to remove the leading 0. So 'AB CD 0E 1' should look like 'AB CD E 1'. Another issue I caused is make sure in graph management you create a graph item that has a color defined.

Ha, I am literally trying to configure cacti on my new server. I am glad you didn't lose sleep over it, cause I sure have. Going through my own tutorial, I failed to get any results, so I am back at square one trying to remember details which I quite simply forgot. With that said, I am currently using this tutorial http://www.cacti.net/downloads/docs/html/how_to.html#SCRIPT_TO_GRAPH while keeping the script and basic idea the same. I now have a graph, but no data in it. Waiting for cacti to poll to see if this method is more straight forward than my own (admittedly) bad descriptions. I will update when I get the kinks worked out. Edit: Alright. So that link worked much better when coming in with a fresh mind. I honestly don't know where I screwed up earlier on in my walkthrough. Only part that is missing (I didn't look over everything so I could very well be wrong here too) is to add your new graph to the graph tree.

what is are you running? Is python v2.7 installed? When you run the script do you get on levels for all devices? When you run the script with the device id do you get the on level only? It sounds like an issue retrieving data from the script. If you get responses then it is a configuration mismatch somewhere. Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using Tapatalk 2

I have created a visual representation as I know that what I posted earlier was a large wall of text. Hopefully this will help out even more as you can see what to put and where without much reading! My imgur gallery: http://imgur.com/a/BKzqY

No issues here either. Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using Tapatalk 2

This tutorial is based off of zanderl's script. He wrote it and gave the instructions, but I decided to get a step by step out there for everyone to lessen the headaches. 1) You will need to get cacti, for Windows I used BSOD2600's "Cacti for Windows installer". This prepares everything you need for you. 2) You will need to install "Python 2.7.3 for Windows" 3) You will need to copy into notepad or equivalent zanderl's script and save it as a .py extension. (http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=5664) 4) Configure cacti for your graphs a) Data Input Method: i) Name: Insteon ii) Input Type: Script/Command iii) Input String: "python C:\Python27\Lib\cacti.py " (python identifies the script type C:\Python27\Lib\cacti.py is the name and location of the script and will be the input for your data) do not put in quotes iv) Input Field: device 1) Field [input]: select device from the drop down menu 2) Friendly Name: Insteon Device v) Output Field: level 1) Field [ouput]: level 2) Friendly Name: Level Data Sources: i) Selected Data Template: None ii) Host: None iii) Name: Name of your device iv) Data Source Path: Leave blank, cacti will auto populate. v) Data Input Method: Insteon vi) Associated RRA's: Select how you like to see your graphs (I select all of them) vii) Step: Default is 300, I personally like 30 viii) Data Source Active: Check ix) Internal Data Source Name: I used Bryan_Bath_Fan x) Min and Max Values: U xi) Data Source Type: Guage xii) Heartbeat: 600 xiii) Output field: Select level-level from the drop down xiv) Insteon Device: "00 00 00 00" (This will be in quotations and instead of all 0's use your insteon id for that device. You will make a new Data Source for every device and this is going to be the input for your script) c) Graph Management: i) Selected Graph Template: None ii) Host: None iii) Title: Whatever you want your graph title to be iv) Vertical Label: On Level (all other checks and defaults stay the same) v) Click save vi) A new header will now appear called Graph Items. Click add to the right a) Host: None Data Template: None c) Data Source: Select your Device you had previously setup d) Graph Item Type: Line 2 e) Consolidation Function: Average (everything else is default) vii) Save the new Graph Item and your Graph d) Graph Trees: i) Add a) Name: Insteon Add each graph that you had created for each device. That should be it! Remember to save everything on each page before moving onto the next step. I would also recommend going to System Utilities and selecting Rebuild Poller cache. This will bring you to your Poller Cache Items (after it does its thing) and should look something like this: Bryan Bath Fan Script: python C:\Python27\Lib\cacti.py "17 CE 60 1" RRD: C:\Apache2\htdocs\cacti\rra\\18.rrd Maybe if I have time in the near future I can take screen shots of everything so you can pretty much copy and paste.
