  1. Get Autoremote (same developer as Tasker), and you can setup network resources (network module required) and have Tasker act on them. I wrote this up on the wiki.
  2. Worth mentioning, since the all-on is triggered by the motion sensor (or other activated device), it cannot happen when nobody is home! Also, Insteon is not secure. Relying on it for access control is not safe regardless. The delete modem will remove the links, and you will have to revert back to managing links from the switches. A better approach may be to disable all programs until the all-on is resolved.
  3. 4.2.18 was the last official release according to the forum. I think that zwave certification is throwing a delay in there, as the specific build must be certified I believe. That why (I think) we have RC builds newer than an 'official' release with the same major and minor version. I suspect that some point soon we will see another 'official' 4.2.x release and then.... just maybe.... a 5.x beta some time afterwards. After all, where would we be without a beta to test?
  4. https is a suite of protocols, sslv1, sslv2, sslv3, tlsv1, tlsv1.1, tlsv1.2 and tlsv1.3. When your browser contacts a server with https, there is a negotiation that occurs. Normally, the highest common protocol is selected. An isy99i non-pro only supports sslv3. sslv2 was disabled by most protocol stacks about 2 years ago due to its security weaknesses. What happened a few months ago, significant flaws were discovered in sslv3, rendering it unsafe for all purposes. Due to the existence of a downgrade attack, the only safe way to fix the threat is to eliminate sslv3. This is what Firefox has done. Sslv3 is now very old! You can reenable it in Firefox as I described above - there is not 'no workaround'. However, by enabling it you are at serious risk if you do banking, taxes or anything you want to be secure with that browser. The fix is to upgrade to the ISY994i where the lowest protocol level is now tlsv1.1. UDI offers a fantastic price for the upgrade, considering the 99 was end of lifed now a long time ago
  5. As a security pro, yes. I strongly recommend blocking SSLv3 everywhere I go. Its over 10 years old (an eternity in computer age) and fundamentally broken. That being said - you can change a preference to re-enable it. I strongly recommend that you don't though! https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1035913
  6. Here is the writeup: http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i_Series_INSTEON:Networking:Tasker There are examples for running programs (If, Then or Else), setting variables, triggering network resources, scenes etc. Michael.
  7. Thanks @Xathros - if you do find out I'd appreciate knowing. I really don't feel like hacking thru all of my programs without being able to devote a few hours to the experiment!
  8. @Xathros, when you do the reset (parameter 255 I assume), does it clear the zwave network membership as well - or just reset the config parameters and metering totals?
  9. Unless something changed, this is not the case. ISY does not proxy access to the cameras.
  10. Important to note, there are workarounds needed for many MyQ compatible openers.... If that is the type of opener you have.
  11. If a switched load turns on but not off, its usual that the load is generating noise that causes the off to fail. With no load, that's probably not the case here.
  12. You are correct. I do this a lot.
  13. I had a cable box and hdpvr prior to the home runs, and the component out was shut off. I had to use a device that pulled from HDMI, told the box there was a protected content path then sent the content out a component link (an HDFury). It was designed to be 'permanently affixed' to the receiving device to be license compliant, but it served me well prior to the prime devices. http://www.hdfury.com/hdmihdcp/
  14. I think there was also a device that could detect an audio or video signal that could be used in this application as well. Personally, I gave up on the cable box to feed my MythTV by using two HDHomerun Prime boxes and cable cards. I haven't looked back! (cheaper too - Comcast give a credit for not using their cable box that's more than the monthly cost of two cable cards).
  15. Messy, but cannot ISY (thru the network module) call its own rest interface under program control to accomplish this?
  16. You control a KPL led by having the led be the responder of a scene, and then you call the scene. Scene members do not acknowledge commands. This is an Insteon scene limitation though - not an ISY or program limitation. If the light is more reliable from another device, it could indicate noise causing unreliable comms between your main PLM and the KPL with unreliable lights.
  17. I use a reverse SSL proxy based on Apache running on a Linux system. Its 'free', but there is a fairly steep learning curve and you need a running (Linux, probably) system. Commercial solutions like Blue Iris may be able to help, but also need a running (Windows, in this case) system. Alternatively, hardware like Swann NVRs can receive the can data on your LAN and make it available to your mobile device with encryption. Cameras with SSL built into them can also be used securely without needing an external system to provide the security, but they tend to be much more expensive than the Foscams and clones.
  18. I use Tinycam monitor on Android with good results (9 Foscams here). Just be aware of the lack of security if you port forward the camera for remote access, unless you invest in some other solution for secure remote access.
  19. The foscams (and smarthome variants) don't do SSL, to if you port forward you are sending your password across the internet without encryption. Personally, I setup an SSL reverse proxy behind a wildcard certificate (with SNI enabled) to securely access my cameras.
  20. My take is the request is valid and useful in the context requested, but detrimental to the way most of us currently use scenes. Not taking a side here, its just how I see it. In general, if there is a way to the solution that doesn't involve breaking the way others use the feature, then the change isn't likely to be accepted.
  21. Try putting all KPL buttons in each scene, and setting the scene responder levels to what you want.
  22. Thanks! I'll probably take a look and give their free 1 cam option a try.
  23. Exactly the thermostat I have, after having 4 failed warranty replacements of the Insteon one.
  24. Is anyone using Sighthound? It claims to be able to locate and alert on people in camera streams rather than simply motion. I'm considering it....
