Integrating ISY 994i with iRobot Roomba 980
Every time this thread gains a post, I am reminded of why I won’t get a roomba.... https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/08/15/pooptastrophe-man-details-night-his-roomba-ran-over-dog-poop/88667704/

What about the ‘Verify’ checkbox? That likely needs to be unchecked....

How To Guide: Getting Alexa to provide verbal responses
The substitution happens in the sending process, not the receiving process. Chrome has no way of knowing your device states, so cannot substitute your variable. To do this, you will have to set this up as a network resource.

How To Guide: Getting Alexa to provide verbal responses
Post a screenshot of your network rule (black out the Authorization header!). There are a couple of gotchas to check for. To test substitutions, try it in an email notification and make sure it’s working there to substitute the correct value without anything non-numeric.

Ring Doorbell to ISY (YAY!)
Awesome! The other day I pinged their support asking for a way to control my Ring Floodlight (and 2 spotlights) by API. You cannot even do this via IFTTT - there are only triggers for Ring, no actions. Glad to hear it will be coming to the Portal!

ISY Portal MobiLinc Configuration Problems
I think you have to port forward your camera for this to work, and use the correct port forwarded url.... I don’t think the ISY Portal or the ISY ‘proxies’ your camera(s).

Anyway to push voice alerts/notifications to Home?
Well, I didn’t know either until post 10 above, and I share the confusion as to purpose. If callable by API, then there is a use, otherwise..... I’m struggling as well.. [emoji4]

Dimming lights
Mobilinc sends ‘bright’ and ‘dim’ commands (such as are send from Switchlincs when you hold them) and Google Home can do the same - to progressively brighten or dim the scene members. Mobilinc can not send ‘turn scene on at 50%’ because this command isn’t supported in the Insteon protocol. Neither can Google Home. I use programs to sync the KPL buttons to a device state for the couple of lights I want to be able to dim with Google Home.

It would be awesome if ‘repeat after me’ was callable via API, or IFTTT.....

Looking for unobtrusive wire for an Insteon relay
- Looking for unobtrusive wire for an Insteon relay
Home Depot here only stocks the (standard around here) 1/4 inch thick baseboard. Same with the local Menards and Lowe’s - who all can get 1/2” thick - they just don’t stock it.- Looking for unobtrusive wire for an Insteon relay
It is here. I believe vertical mounting is more common nationwide. However, from an apartment when I lived downtown Chicago 20 years ago thru 4 suburban houses since then - all were horizontally mounted.- Differing commands based on room
True, forgot about that... It’s a shame that the command ‘turn on the lights’ when received by a Home that’s assigned to the Kitchen also doesn’t turn on only the Kitchen lights.- Looking for unobtrusive wire for an Insteon relay
I for one like the quarter round. To be honest, any house I was looking at with wood floors and no quarter round I would immediately be suspicious of improper expansion strips/gaps being present. An immediate red flag to me. But that’s mainly because I’ve never seen it any other way!- Looking for unobtrusive wire for an Insteon relay
I’ve been in many houses in this area over the years. It’s everywhere. Very, very standard where wooden floors are installed. It’s even ‘correct’ in the UK..- Looking for unobtrusive wire for an Insteon relay
As built.- Looking for unobtrusive wire for an Insteon relay
My new (2 years old) has it... and my prior house (built 2002) had it - so it’s still a common thing, at least in this neck of the woods. I’ve seen it this way across multiple builders where construction was in the last 25 years...- Periodic Automatic Restarts
Do you have any network resources calling 127.0.0.1 (to call the local REST API)? This can cause unsolicited hangs or reboots....- Looking for unobtrusive wire for an Insteon relay
Most wood floors have quarter round at the edge, to cover the expansion gap (to allow the wood to expand and contract)...- Differing commands based on room
It does make me wonder why (in the Home app) it makes it very visible that Google want you to assign rooms to devices. So far, there does not appear to be any way Home uses this association. Even pairing a chromecast to Home is a separate thing... I’m betting it will arrive... maybe... hopefully. I now have 6 Google Homes around the house - right now it’s our intercom (‘Hey Google, Broadcast.....’)- Question on dual controllers, portal costs, and mobile app
Glad you got this sorted. There is a bit of FUD out there for sure. The official position was ‘does not work’ (even though it did) and is now ‘Untested’ usually followed by guidance to subscribe to Mobilinc Connect - but many, many on this forum are using it just fine.- New IOS App For ISY In App Store - HomeTap
On my iPad mini, filter does not show until I type something. After typing something, it is grayed out until the search matches something. Odd.- Dimming lights
It’s a server side fix. Nothing needs updating client side. Also, insteon scenes cannot be dimmed to specific levels. Only devices.- New IOS App For ISY In App Store - HomeTap
Nothing. It’s greed out when there are no search results.- New IOS App For ISY In App Store - HomeTap
