Dynamic DNS services
I use dns-o-matic as a meta service, and then push to my custom zone hosted at dns.he.net. Has worked flawlessly for the last year or so. My 'router' (actually an Alix box) is running pfsense, it natively supports just about anything. However, I know many routers are starting to support dns-o-matic and others.

How To: Enable Internet Access
That is true and correct.

How To: Enable Internet Access
That's known as NAT 'hairpinning' (at least in the Cisco world). Most routers disable it, and many don't give the user any option to enable (or disable) it.

Device List, Topology
Would the XML returned from a GET to /rest/nodes be easier to work from?

A new 2441TH issue
Michael, Can you please clarify the "left" mode that remains? Was that a typo that you're still having issues with Energy mode (leaf) enabling/disabling itself even with an external 24V power supply? Yes, still had the issue. I gave up on the 2441th in the end after 2 replacements. Now running a Trane Z-Wave unit with zero issues, on the exact same furnace.

SSL Certificates
There are certain home routers that share a private key (what Michel refers to as a 'global cert'). This is really insecure, since anyone can access the private key and then decrypt others sessions.

Programming
The other issue you have is you have "outdoor module is off," in the 'if' condition. This immediately becomes 'false' when the module is turned on by the 'Then' executing, causing the program to abort the 'if' and execute the 'else' - turning it right off again. Also, as others have said, make sure the 8pm says 'next day' as well. Michael.

99i vs 994i
The main issue you may run into eventually is many (most?) newer Insteon devices require firmware 4.x and later, and this will not run on the 99i. The common catch seems to be the KPLs - if you have to get one replaced, you will likely find the replacement will not work.

ISY994i / Insteon Motion Detection / IP Camera Screen Shot
Awesome! Thanks. Search in Tapatalk failed me on this one.

ISY994i / Insteon Motion Detection / IP Camera Screen Shot
Xathros, Do you happen to have the URL handy for a Foscam to do this? I have a bunch of those around that I've been meaning to add this functionality to. Thanks!

New feature "Import/Export to/from Clipboard" in 4.1.1
Ooh - shiny new feature. Going to have to try this when I get home. My raw goto editor of choice is Notepad++. It can use plugins to add custom context highlighting. That would be neat... Might have to look at this.

Leak Sensors - A (Suggested) Complete Program Package
Belias, I want to add to the chorus of thanks. I had a very basic program running the mostly worked, but given the importance of this I wanted something more reliable. I now have my 2 sensors under your programs control, and took advantage of the Costco deal to get 4 more. Most of my potential leak locations will soon be monitored. Thanks again. Michael.

That's a great deal. Thanks!

Under Cabinet LED Lighting
My issue is I want dimmable, and 3700k-ish. I cannot seem to find that available. (Or rather 'my wife demands' would be more accurate..)

Sending variable to external program
No - or at least not yet. Rumor is once the Z-Wave changes are stabilized that this is the next feature in the pipeline.

Irrigation Question(s)
My first thought is to check that you have the timezone of the ISY set correctly. For instance, if it is set to Pacific time and you are in the Midwest, I would expect the variables to reset at 10pm local time. Second thing to check is any programs that issue an 'Irrigation Reset' command. That command will also reset the numbers. Michael.

iPhone Password Entry
Can't really answer the main question satisfactorily (assuming browser interface is in use, you cannot remember the password with that). However, MobiLinc ($$) allows you to store your credential so you don't have to enter it each to time. Awesome app as well...

Insteon Smoke Bridge
Sorry to revive an old thread - but just got my smoke bridge and 4 new First alert Onelink alarms (two with CO - two fire only). This is what I did. I linked each alarm to each other. The last one I linked to the smoke bridge. So far - so good. On ISY - using 4.0.4 with the 4.0.11 UI I tried adding the device by it's ID. I got 'Unknown engine'. I clicked 'Start Linking' and pressed the button on the smoke bridge until the double-beep. This time - it linked to the ISY fine (although I got a comm error for some reason). I right-clicked the main node - and 'Write updates to device'. This brought the smoke bridge online - so to speak. Now - I got 7 nodes: NODE-Smoke NODE-CO NODE-Test NODE-Unknown Message NODE-Clear NODE-Low Bat NODE-Malfunction (Other reports I've seen indicate 3... not sure why I have 7. The smoke bridge is reporting v43). I have not had time to experiment with all of the conditions and triggers here - plus the wife is (already) getting annoyed at the loud testing. Does anyone have any good details of: Can I trigger a 'fire' signal on a connected and monitored Elk M1? (I have the Elk module) This is only for when the house is unattended (alarm is in 'Armed Away' mode) so I don't have to rely on a neighbours to call in case there is smoke when we are not home. What is 'Clear' about? Should I setup a state variable for 'Smoke Detected' - has 'NODE-Smoke' going on turn the state to '1'. Then have a program to wait for 'NODE-Clear' to change the state to '0'? I have heard that 'Smoke' and 'CO' issues a 'Off' for a clear - but 'Test' does not. Just trying to figure out how they all interact without driving everyone nuts with many, many loud tests.. I notice there is no write up on the wiki. I'm happy to collect information and write something up. Thanks for any info you have! Michael.

A new 2441TH issue
Personally, after 2 replacements of the 2441TH, I gave up, got a Trane Z-Wave device that has functioned perfectly, via a Vera until ISY has Z-Wave. It has functioned perfectly ever since. Personally, Smarthomes attitude to this problem has caused me to always buy a Z-Wave device before an Insteon device if available. If someone from Smarthome wants to have me try a fourth device, I'm happy to try and report. It will restore my faith. Why is it its only the 2441TH that has difficulty, where no other stat has caused problems on my furnace.

Internet Access
Michel, Just a suggestion, but could you consider renaming 'Enable Internet Access' to something like 'Try upnp port mapping' and 'Disable Internet Access' to something like 'Disable upnp' to better represent the function the option does. Another thought is to suppress the option altogether if the ISY does not receive upnp Nat device broadcasts. Maybe you will get fewer questions on this? Michael.

Nice! That's some great info. Thanks!

Keypad 2334-222 Programming Issues
My thought is you should ping Starthome about that. ISY994 compatible maybe, but saying ISY is misleading in my opinion - for those that have the 99. Either way, its not UDI's issue - they have been very open about this. My $0.02. As LeeG said, all devices have an end of life. Either RMA it to Smarthome on their mis-description, or buy a 994i for support of the latest devices.

How to revert to previous dim level?
Awesome! Sounds like just the ticket. Thanks!

How to revert to previous dim level?
Just cycling back to this thread. Michel - is it possible to confirm if this functionality is included in the current work on variable enhancement? Thanks! Michael.

This thing can control ANYTHING!!
I just downloaded the class 1 root ca cert from cacert.org and emailed it to myself on the android device. When you open the attachment, it asked about installing the new root certificate. Once done, any certificate issued by cacert.org will be trusted. So, sign up and get a cert issued in response to a csr. It's free - and you'll end up with a more secure solution that using a self signed certificate. I posed fuller details of this in another thread - if I can find it i'll link it here. Michael.
