Awesome, that answered two questions in one because I was writing something the other day and wondered why it wasn't working when I was using control Thanks!

I want to turn off a light after say 10 mins of it coming on. When they turn on it starts some type of timer and then after it turns off it can be turned on again and repeat. What's the best way to do it?

thanks I found that on smartmetertexas.com you can add the han devices there so I think I'm good

Sounds like it could be hard getting an answer from Centerpoint on that one. I would imagine first thing they would say is no just because they wouldn't know what I'm talking about. But, just before I was going to hit post I google centerpoint smartmeter han and look what I found http://www.centerpointelectric.com/cehe/smartmeters/faq/#HAN1 looks like they do but now I need to figure out how to get it all connected. I read through the configuration guide we will see how it goes. So I just need to purchase the High Powered Zigbee Smart Grid Radio to make my standard isy994i work with my meter?

I just upgraded from my 99i to 994i and noticed the electricity tab. I've been searching around to find out how to use it and really haven't found anything that is clear on how to set it up or what is needed. I think the first thing I need is a ZS model instead of the standard version. Currently I have a smart meter in Houston TX with Centerpoint Power and I can view it online at www.SmartMeterTexas.com What do I need to be able to monitor my power usage, can I use what I have now under the electricity/open autodr? Equipment? Thanks

I am looking to control my pool actuators via my isy994 and was looking at the Smartenit EZIO8SA but see that it requires a power source and a plm directly connected. My current plm of course is connected to my isy994. From what I read you can't have two plm's on the network. The Smartenit EZIO40 seems to do the same thing but less but it is out of stock on smarthome site. How do you connect the EZIO8SA? Suggestions? Thanks

thanks for the help

I just removed all the climate stuff for now till I get a 994. Will my plm work with the 994? Is the controller the only thing I need to change?

funny because it seemed to have quit working today or something caused it to quit today. I'm using an isy-99i though, isn't that for is isy-994i I'm on 3.3.10 which seems to be the last firmware put out for the 99i

my thermostats were acting up and i have found that my climate data is blank. when i click the weatherbug link it says not found. http://api.wxbug.net/getLiveWeatherRSS.aspx?ACode=A4580152882&stationid=KIAH&unittype=0 doest work

well never mind, you can't have spaces in the name... after looking at my others, I notice I had _ for spaces.

When I create a new variable and double-click the name and change it when I tab our or click out of it, it reverts back to Inc_6 I'm running 3.3.10 and it looks like that is the end of life for my isy-99i for firmware??

well I was hoping to see it all. I'm not even sure I'll be purchasing the yamaha receiver but would be helpful to others too I'm sure.

could you share your code you used to control your stereo?

Cool I'll have to look into the network module, never heard of it. Thanks

but you can control it from your ISY-99?

can I get the model number off your yamaha? I know there has to be something special written to control it correct? thanks guys!

I have an isy-99i and I'm talking my buddy to install isy-994i in his house he is building but he wants to be able to control his stereo equipment, mainly volume, skip etc through automated system. Can the isy do that at all? I haven't seen anything but figured I'd ask. He was looking at control4 which seems to do it but it looks to be zigbee based, yuck!

yeah twice... I'll try it a third time

Hey I got my replacement PLM back from smart home and was going to swap it out with my new one for some odd reason. Now when I do restore PLM it does nothing. If I go to diagnostic it says plm is connected but it won't restore? Any ideas?

I think that was what I needed. Thanks!

My powerlinc module went out and I ordered a new one and replaced it but my when I launch the admin interface it won't control any devices but doesn't throw any errors and when I go to PLM status it shows ok. You don't have to link the powerlinc's do you. I tried and it didn't do anything. I can't remember it's been so long since I installed the first one.

awesome, thanks!

Makes sense, so I need to set the init and the value in my program. The whole purpose of this is to set a variable using a program because mobilinc for android cannot set them. So I need a way to be able to change the variables. This is how I'm doing it and when I want to set it I just run the "Then" statement from mobilinc. Is this correct way, or should I say, the way I need to do it to accomplish what I need? If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then $AllowGarageAC = 0 $AllowGarageAC Init To 0 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

ah, that explains it. Well the initial value is what I want it at so it's working, I'll just put a battery backup on it. so if I wanted to set the variable using a program the correct way is to just leave if statement blank and put variable=1 in the then statement? And just run the then statement in mobilinc? It worked for me but I couldn't figure out why it was getting changed but now I know.
