Need Easier Way to Remove Mobilinc Connect
I've often thought the user should be able to 'uninstall' a module - leaving it still purchased in the UI... So it can be installed again later if wanted again...

Ring Doorbell to ISY (YAY!)
Sure! It's pretty straightforward though.... My transformer supplies 24vac (some are 12vac, others 16vac - you'll need to get a relay with an appropriate voltage coil - make sure it's an AC coil!)... There are two circuits - transformer to relay coil via the bell push - and a second circuit from transformer to bell via one set of n/o relay contacts. At that point - the bell push works properly, ringing the bell - with the addition of a relay click. I then wired the other relay n/o contacts to my Elk (could easily be an iolinc).

Alexa responds to voice commands from nearby radio (NPR)
Yeah... No 'spoken' words added for any locks or alarm system controls - except one on a program that locks the doors and sets the alarm. No way to unlock or disarm by voice....

Net-Resource: Failed connecting to api.prowlapp.com
3.3.10 non-pro cannot connect to most SSL servers now - because it only supports ciphers that are now considered so insecure that most web sites have now removed them. To use any of the network notification services you'll either have to upgrade to a 994 - or setup a reverse proxy to handle SSL for the old ISY. Michael.

Insteon and Sonos with ISY-994i
Not currently (I want this as well). I know it's on UDIs features to come list (string variables that can be substituted).

Alexa just stopped saying 'ok'
Pretty typical for Amazon...

Wifes reaction to another "woman" in the house?
More than once, my Alexa has piped up over dinner to announce "I don't understand what you just asked me" when nothing was asked of her.

Ring Doorbell to ISY (YAY!)
I put a dpst 24vac relay between the button, 24vac transformer and bell, allowing me to have dry contacts that (in my case) trigger a non-alarm zone on my Elk, but could equally trigger an iolinc. Since I had the Elk already, it cost me less than $3 for the relay...

Grouping pushover notifications
I love the feature as well - my Elk pings me when it's armed with just a notice, a non-urgent 'ding' when it's disarmed, and a siren if it's set off - all in the same app profile with appropriate icon. Same with my garage door. Simple quiet notice for open or close - but an audible notice with an attached picture from my camera if it's left open.

NEW Amazon Echo Dot and Tap
My Dot is showing with an April 8 delivery date... I hope it dosnt slip...

Grouping pushover notifications
I have 16 Pushover 'Apps', and a few weeks ago I tried adding another one, and got a message I was at the limit. However, I just tried adding one more just now, and it let me... Not sure what that means though. Michael.

Grouping pushover notifications
I do Pushover by API - and have defines separate apps (each with their own API key and icon) to group them.. In fact I hit Pushover app limit... Not sure how to get around that...

Abandoned by Revolv & Nest - Saved by UDI & ISY
Welcome to the ISY world @bgav! It's truly sad that they are simply shutting it down - no refunds or recourse at all - based on that fact that the 1 year warranty is over for all purchasers... Wow is all I have to say. While not a Revolv user myself it does show why a cloud-only (or even cloud-first) product should be avoided at all costs if you want to maintain the (significant) investment that home automation takes.

Subscribing to ISY for events
Have you seen my Javascript Websocket example at http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/15248-problems-creating-a-websocket-connection/page-2?do=findComment&comment=150499 ? Granted - it runs in a browser - but I suspect you could modify it to subscribe to events for other use cases. (This is an example page designed to be served directly from ISY.... and the JS executed from the connected browser. This is because of the authorization header and security requirements of WebSockets. In a non-browser implementation - the var ws_host = "wss://" + isy_host would likely have to be changed to var ws_host = "wss://username:password@" + isy_host Michael.

Chamberlain/Liftmaster MyQ & ISY Integration Complete - Should I Release It?
Reach out to io_guy and see if it can be integrated into nodelink.... That way the MyQ stuff will be represented as actual nodes rather than variables....

Programs fail to trigger
Could it be that the secondary button nodes don't have link records back to the PLM until they are in a scene? Maybe only the primary node is linked by default... Even a scene with one device adds a scene link so the PLM is notified. I'm thinking that without being in a scene secondary buttons likely won't report anything to the PLM.

iMeter Solo and Energy Display
Can I 'Like' this more than once???

New install, where do I begin?
I do exactly this with my Elk sensors. All can be used to trigger programs on ISY, as long as you have the Elk module installed and configured.

"Alexa, Goodnight"
I have a (Maker channel) skill defined as 'Goodnight' - calling my 'Goodnight' program (via the portal integration). 'Alexa, trigger goodnight' works every time. It's pretty much my only skill in common use.

ISY + Zigbee + Zwave
I'd get two ISYs, one Zigbee the other Zwave. Soon-ish - 5.x will be able to have the two of them be node servers to each other - and you'll see the power details on the zwave ISY. Until 5.x can do this, you could add the networking module to the zigbee unit and write a simple set of network resources and programs to post the power values to the zwave ISYnfor use in programs.

Bought the portal, now where is the network module?
What is your UI and firmware version? You must be on 4.4.3 to get this.

API to Set Keypadlinc Button to Percentage?
You cannot send direct dim commands to a scene - only a device. If you need scene members to come on at different levels that usual, you need to either adjust the scene (changing it back afterwards), or use multiple scenes (with the members having differing on levels).

MobiLinc to ISY Portal Transition
I've been using the Tasker Autolocation plugin with no noticeable battery hit on my Nexus 6P and also my old Nexus 5 before it. This is because Autolocation registers the geofence with the OS, and since 2013 or so Android has supported hardware assisted geofencing (which Autolocation ties into). When you cross a geofence boundary, the OS tells Autolocation which triggers a Tasker profile, and you take action on that. It's all very power efficient. Full details on the Tasker Wiki page (though pardon the dust - I'm going thru it cleaning it up and adding screenshots) http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i_Series_INSTEON:Networking:Tasker

API to Set Keypadlinc Button to Percentage?
You could write a program that adjusts the on level of both devices in a scene to 31% and then turns the scene on, finally resetting the devices scene on level back to 100%, and have Alexa trigger that... However, Insteon does not support turning a scene anything other than 'on' or 'off' directly. Finally, I don't think having a KPL button at 31% will cause it to be any dimmer than 100%. I thought those were purely on/off devices that can only be controlled via membership in a scene.

Help! MobiLinc broke Alexa?
Everyone should reach out to Wes and ask that he put in separate username/password fields for HTTP and HTTPS - with a checkbox to have them be the same... Not all of us want to reuse a password. I know I don't!
