Interested as well. Holding off the purchase of a weather solution at the moment to see what happens with this, HAM, pwsweather etc. However, I would prefer to keep it local and not depend on an Internet connection for anything other than forecast data.

Thanks @Teken! Can the GEM directly send data to SEG? If so - that will likely be my initial solution. I do prefer on premise though - so I'll look into that once the crush of work from moving is over. I think I'll eventually be going DASHbox (now that I looked again at the Brultech site I found the link) once I have the main monitor installed. As far as ISY is concerned - I'll probably wait and see what UDI do. I'm invested in zwave - and do not want to lose that functionality to add Zigbee. Given the unclear direction, I need to know if I should buy a separate Zigbee ISY - or wait until the next hardware rev and hope it has dual protocol support (and live without ISY integration of the Brultech in the mean time). If only ISY could consume the data directly over the network without needing Zigbee.... Oh well..

I have to say - in my old house I had the Aeotec zwave monitor on the incoming supply. I was (as @Teken suggests) never happy with that - and wanted to get more information about individual circuits, decent trending etc. @Teken, thanks for posting what you did - both here and over at http://www.brultech.com/community/viewt ... ?f=2&t=929. I has pushed me over the edge, so to speak, and I just ordered the GreenEye Monitor from Brultech for my new house (I'll be closing on it in about 3 weeks - moving in 4 - and so will have some time I can install things like this with minimal disruption). You should get a commission! Other than the GEM and CTs (I ordered a package, with CT pack A and G initially) - do I need anything else? Is all the graph generation done on device - or did you need to hook the GEM up to a cloud service for this? Edit: Should point out that I have 1 ISY - with zwave. So no Zigbee is possible. I saw you mentioned something calls a 'DASHbox' to send data to SEG (http://smartenergygroups.com/api) - but I'm struggling to find details of this. I found this page: http://www.mypowerpanel.com/web-server/ but the 'Buy' link goes to a blank page. Thanks! Michael.

$40??? Other then that, not sure... The second edition is IP44 rated. Not sure if the first is.

Worth bearing in mind. Michel, can you make powering the ISY an optional feature of your PLM? Maybe a dip switch to enable it.

Sign me up!!!

Or separate the switch from the load, and add one of the micro dimmer modules inside the light fitting. Then you could adjust the scene based on criteria like alarm state...

Its why I've kinda given up on IOLinc for garage door status... I've ordered one of these to test for my garage door: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HGVJRX2/ref ... 90_TE_dp_1

Interested in this myself. Saw a post from Michel indicating that its considered 'normal' for an observation to have up to a 40 minute delay ( viewtopic.php?p=118169#p118169). I'm interested in options that report directly to HAM for minimum delay.

Sorry...who is Michael? Anyone? Michel? or Michael? I'm (a) Michael - just an ISY owner and hobbyist. I think you may be looking for Michel from UDI though.

Personally, I'd look for a router that supports dns-o-matic. They will then take the DNS updates and forward them to any number of ddns services - many free ones. I've had perfect service from them updating my dns.he.net zones - all at not cost - from an Asus router.

Make sure that whenever you increment the variable (or set it to 0), you also increment or set the Init value - so the sequence survives reboots....

Yep.. viewtopic.php?p=117691#p117691

All seems reasonable to me. Make sure you use potable water for the mister (I know some areas have a secondary non-potable supply for irrigation needs), and a check valve if code requires!

Weatherbug changed their API and is no longer available to the ISY. You will need to upgrade your ISY994 to the 4.2.4 to allow the switch over to HAM Weather. If you are still using the long deprecated 99i you will need to upgrade to a 994 to get functional weather back - I know UDI is still offering their great upgrade offer.

ISY or ISY PRO? Port 465 is SMTPS (SSL secured) and non-pro ISY only supports RC4 encryption. Most providers now don't support RC4 - its considered not very secure. If you are not using ISY PRO,you may need to upgrade to use encrypted SMTP. Or use a provider that does not need encryption.

Wes, Thanks for checking in - I appreciate the reaffirmation to Android. I'll keep an eye on the forums - hopefully much goodness is around the corner.

Found it! Don't worry about posting. Its here: viewtopic.php?p=116049#p116049 Thanks again.

Missed that.... And Tapatalk is apparently not up to finding it at the moment. Can you post a thread link? Let me also take the opportunity to thank you for the programs! I use them throughout my programs. Hopefully, they won't be necessary in 5.x though...

I think it was talked about at one point - but the presence of the workaround pushed it to a low priority - and there are plenty of more pressing changes IMO. I do agree, the programs are a pain to setup. Once going though they work very well.

It sounds like your admin console version does not match your ISY version. Have you clears the Java cache? http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index ... Java_Cache

Take a look at this: http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index ... _Variables Its what I use to do this. Michael.

Thanks! That will make things much better, and is something I'll be able to make great use of. I look forward to it! It will enable some powerful stuff in Tasker, that's for sure.

Here are my initial notes about controlling my garage door with a combination of ISY (via the REST interface and network resources), Tasker and AutoRemote. I know this does not format well - I have it in a word document that I'm working on - but wanted to get it posted for the more adventurous... I have also noted how I switch the ISY URL based on network - so I can avoid SSL delays when I'm on the internal network. I may have the order wrong - YMMV. Sometimes, I have to exit Tasker and re-open it for it to recognise certain things - especially 'Run Task' actions if I recently defined the task. Need: Tasker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm ($2.99) AutoRemote https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autoremote ($3.99) Note personal URL: http://goo.gl/Q4Iitz (Case Sensitive) Visit the URL and note the API key: XXYYZZ PowerToggles https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc (Free) This sits in the notification tray to allow easy triggering of Tasker tasks On ISY, create a program 'GarageDoor - Operate'. Disable it. Under 'Then' - add your program for your action. In my case - it calls an Elk function. It should probably call the IOLinc for most people... Save Changes, then view the 'Summary' tab. Note the ID of this program (0084 in my case) Create network resource (Get the API key from the goo.gl redirect above): AR - Door - Garage Door - Closed HTTPS GET autoremotejoaomgcd.appspot.com:443 /sendmessage?key=XXYYZZ&message=SETVAR ISYStateGarageDoor 0=:=VAR AR - Door - Garage Door - Open HTTPS GET autoremotejoaomgcd.appspot.com:443 /sendmessage?key=XXYYZZ&message=SETVAR ISYStateGarageDoor 1=:=VAR Test these – make sure AutoRemote shows the toasts on RX Create a program to run the ‘AR - Door - Garage Door – Open’ network resource when the door opens – and ‘AR - Door - Garage Door – Closed’ when the door closes. Test. Make sure the toasts from AutoRemote are coming up on your phone when the door opens and closes. Make sure that when you ‘RunThen’ the ‘GarageDoor - Operate' program the door operates. Create the following Tasker variables: %IsyUrlInternal URL for the ISY internal to home network (http://user:password@192.168.1.3) %IsyUrlExternal URL for the ISY external to home network (https://user:password@host.dyndns.org) %IsyUrl Blank, initially Create Tasker Scene Activate Garage Door Contains a ‘Are you Sure’ text box, ‘Activate Door’ button (btnYes), ‘Cancel’ button (btnCancel) and a test box for status (txtStatus). btnCancel / Tap Destroy Scene / ‘Activate Door’ btnYes / Tap Perform Task / ISY-RunThen %par1=0084 Destroy Scene / ‘Activate Door’ Create tasks: Home-Arrive 'Variables' 'Variable Set' '%IsyUrl' to 'IsyUrlInternal' Home-Leave 'Variables' 'Variable Set' '%IsyUrl' to 'IsyUrlExternal' ISY-RunThen 'Net' 'HTTP Get' / Server:Port = '%IsyUrl' / Path = '/rest/programs/%par1/runThen 'Trust Any Certificate' may be necessary if you are self signed.

Click the power toggle icon. Tasker should launch the scene ‘Activate Garage Door’ – then read the variable %ISYStateGarageDoor to set the status text to either ‘Open’ or ‘Closed’ on the scene. If you click ‘Cancel’ – Tasker will destroy the scene. If you click ‘Activate Door’ – Tasker calls the task ‘ISY-RunThen’ with the parameter of the program ID. ‘ISY-RunThen’ runs the ISY program via the REST API. ISY notices that the door has opened – and calls the network resource letting Tasker know. Tasker receives the notice – and updates the status variable %ISYStateGarageDoor. Then it pops up a notification to let you know... I have a second power toggle initiated Tasker scene with about 20 toggle buttons on it - each with updated with the status of a device. Clicking the toggle calls the scene associated with the device. It all works fairly well - I get zwave lock status, can initate a 'Lock' or 'Unlock' event, see status of lights, turn scenes on and off etc..

I'll see if I can write up my garage door solution first. A single function widget I think will be an easy place to get the concept across - and it was my own starting point. After the first was working, I found myself spending hours of 'oh, and this.... And this....' Etc. Suddenly It is 2qm again...
