timmay

I'm looking to automate the common scenario of leaving the house and locking the door. I have been shy about using just a timer on locking the door after hitting the KeypadLinc Away button because I have 2 young children and you never know how long it's going to take. I was looking into adding a TriggerLinc (a.k.a. Wireless Open/Close Sensor): http://www.smarthome.com/2843-222/INSTE ... sor/p.aspx to make it more robust and I'm imagining the following psuedo program: Variable definitions: 'Door Sensor' = TriggerLinc (I'm not sure what the device exposes, I think it's like the MorningLinc in that it has 2 states, but I'll treat it as a normal controller as that's simpler) 'Door' = MorningLinc Deadbolt 'Away' = KeypadLinc button Simple programs: if (control 'Door Sensor' is switched Closed) AND (status 'Away' is On) Then Set 'Door' Lock Door And a second program on my return: if (control 'Door Sensor' is switched Open) AND (status 'Away' is On) Then Set 'Away' Off This is of course stupid because it would require you to hit the away button before opening the door, but I read that you cannot query this device. I can also imagine my daughter playing with the door, triggering the closed sensor and having it lock prematurely. I'm sure I can do something fancy with variables, but I'm fairly new to that and every time I thought I'd need a variable for something else I eventually figured out (or discovered in this forum) how to do it without one. Luckily the device is fairly cheap so it's not a huge waste if it doesn't work out, but since I'll also have to write the program it'll be nice to avoid any pitfalls. Thanks for your advice!

Up till a couple of weeks ago my scene worked fine. It's a simple scene with an Icon Relay switch v.39 and a Dual Band KeypadLinc Relay v.40 both acting as both controllers/responders for a typical 3 way switch. *The problem is that hitting the keypadlinc no longer turns on the light. *I have other keypadlinc buttons on the same keypad that can still turn on/off the lights for another switch that are in a 3-gang box so I don't think there is a communication problem. *If I toggle the scene the current states flip on and off, and the keypadlinc button turns on and off but the relay switch does not turn on the load nor show with its LED that the light is on. *Deleting the scene and recreating it doesn't help. *I can control the relay switch device via the ISY directly. It seems that the device no longer acts properly as a controller. Anything else I can do? ... SOLUTION FOUND ... Just in case this helps someone else with their issue I decided to write this part up and still post. While writing this post I dug into the Diagnostics and became curious about the Restore Device option. I thought I recalled reading that restoring a device could have unwanted repercussions, but after some searching it seemed like the right choice. After a 30 second restore my scene was working again. I believe my 1 year old birthday boy who can now reach these switches did some reprogramming!

Sweet, that did the trick! Note I'm on Win7, but I didn't try a reboot yet. Possibly a bug related to the AJAX UI? Thanks a ton. I had a socket failure message and failed on the first link attempt (it was in link mode so I'm not sure what the problem was), but issued a rewrite and it worked.

Correct, no RemoteLinc2 device type. I installed 3.1.10, verified, and no dropdown: https://skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=d1af028a1694a34b&resid=D1AF028A1694A34B!1782&parid=D1AF028A1694A34B!310

No dice for me. I installed 3.1.11 from 3.1.9 before reading this post (note the url in the 3.1.10 beta post is pointing to 3.1.11). I reverted back to 3.1.9 and upgraded to 3.1.10 then 3.1.11 clearing the java cache each time. I'm not sure what this means: "and be sure to use the URL that invokes 3.1.10 Admin Console." but I'm opening the admin console by going to the local URL (http://192.168.0...) and hitting the admin console link in the upper right of the main navbar of the ajax UI.
