Wow, thanks for the help. I'll try it out tonight and let you know. Thanks!

Here is my program.... somehow I'd like to get the status of my 3 lights before this runs and the restore back when complete. Right now the lights remain in whatever state their in when the alarm is back on. If Status 'Alarm Sensor' is Off And Status 'Alarm Sensor' is not On Then Repeat Every 0 seconds Set 'Fireplace Light' Fast On Set 'Living Room Fan Light' Fast On Set 'Front Porch Light' Fast On Wait 2 seconds Set 'Living Room Fan Light' Fast Off Set 'Fireplace Light' Fast Off Set 'Front Porch Light' Fast Off Wait 2 seconds Else Set 'Fireplace Light' Fast Off Set 'Living Room Fan Light' Fast Off Set 'Front Porch Light' Fast Off

Well will that work for this scenario? Say porch light on, living room off, back porch on When the blink program starts it flashes them all but when it stops their state is random. So what ur suggesting it will restore the lights back to: porch light on, living room off, back porch on To me I would need to create a variable for each lights status before alarm program starts and when it is finished set the light status to the variable for each?? Or will urs do what I'm wanting? Thanks

Hey is there a way to get the state of the lights before I run this program so I can restore the lights back the way they were before I ran the program?

Oh ok, I've never used scenes before but just looks like it makes it easier to program. Ok but wait I must no know how to make scenes, I drug thermostat down into 4 different scenes and when I change the setting on the thermostat in one scene it changes it on all my scenes? What am I missing, off to read Ok I was clicking on the thermostat and your supposed to make changes to the scene node only... much easier thanks for all the help guys

Thanks, the ones with only the then statement were used to set the variable but now that mobilic supports variables I really don't need them. Looks like changing from integer variable to state fixed it. What's the advantage of creating a scene for the different thermostat settings if they are only needed one time. Really seems like extra work to me if don't use or call from multiple programs. Please explain. Thanks

Ok wasn't as bad as I thought once I changed to auto instead of setting mode manually. I had a thermostat once before that was to automatically set temps but never seemed to work right so we'll see about this one. Two questions 1. When I create a program that sets a variable like this --Vacation True Program-- if then Vacation_Mode = 1 Run Program 'Vacation Mode' (if) else --Vacation False Program-- if then Vacation_Mode = 0 else the status in mobilinc always says true once run, should that matter or should I worry about that 2. I created a program that sets the temp like this ---Cool Program--- if $vacation is 0 and On mon,tue,wed,thu, fri From 7:30AM To 4:00pm Then set 'therm' mode auto set 'therm' 76 cool setpooint set 'therm' 68 heat setpoint ---Vacation Mode Program--- if $vacation = 1 then set 'therm' mode auto set 'therm' 78 cool setpooint set 'therm' 66 heat setpoint else -no actions if I run my program Vacation True everything works fine but if I run Vacation False the thermostat does not go back to proper temp which should be set by program Cool, when do the programs run checks if true? Is there something I need to run after set variable back to 0 to make all the programs check for conditions again?

what would be the best way to create a schedule like this? Can someone help me get started in right direction? Thanks if status cool then M-F 7:30am - 4:00pm = 76degrees 4:00pm - 7:30am = 72 degrees Sat-Sun = 72 degrees if status heat then M-F 7:30am - 4:00pm = 68 degrees 4:00pm - 9:00pm = 72 degrees 9:00pm - 7:30am = 70 degrees Sat-Sun 7:30 - 9:00pm = 72 degrees 9:00pm - 7:30am = 70degrees

yeah may insteon if built into mine so I guess I could unplug it. I will look at setpoints though first, I sure hope that's it cause it's annoying. I just don't understand why querying it causes it to reset.

No I've never used the all on/off No never used smartlinc

Mode? Cool? Firmware: 3.1.17

I noticed in mobilinc that everytime I opened my thermostat it always set the temp to 78 degrees and not what it was currently set at. I just thought it was mobilinc but they told me to check admin and it does the same thing. When I open my thermostat it always sets the set temp to 78 no matter what. If I run query it does the same thing. I assume this is a bug? It's kinda frustrating. Here you go, watch the video... pay attention to set temp before running query and then after http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19179569/ScreenCapture_1.flv

Yeah I probably left it open for a few hours... must have been what happened. Thanks

Cool thanks! Wonderful support here

well I closed and reopened admin console and it was fixed... weird...

Whoa, major problem woke up this morning to try and create my thermostat program and every device shows no status or any info? Is this a bug, seems pretty major? I'm going to reboot but is this common?

Thank you for the reply, I didn't notice the named tabs which got me confused. That worked fine. Is there a way to set the variable remotely mobilinc? I'd like to set my thermostat to vacation mode before I leave but be able to turn off vacation mode remotely? Is there a way to accomplish this? Thanks!

If found one post http://www.universal-devices.com/mwiki/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Create_a_Thermostat_Program here on creating schedules for thermostat and when I started to program the first thing I want to do is have a boolean to check if on vacation or away. I'd like to have a boolean that I can set true/false when I am away but when I went to variable and add it wouldn't accept 0 or false etc for values... How do you create variables? This is the start of what I'm trying to do if status is cool then If away is true then - set temp to 78 else - gets crazy here... end if if status is heat then if away is true then - set temp to 68 else - more crazy stuff here... end if

Thanks, upgraded and it shows up fine now. Now to program a schedule

Definately not beta, not current stable release I think

I'm trying to program my thermostat so I can have a schedule but I think since it is showing as unknown device I don't get the options that I'm supposed to. I can't check status of cool/heat nor set temp. Model # is 2491T1E Any help would be appreciated...

Ah thanks, that explains it Operator Error!

I set up my porch lights to come on at sunset and off at 10:00pm and it was working fine. I changed it to 9:00pm and saved. It' hasn't gone off at 9:00pm yet. If I got to my device it shows on and I manually turn off status updates fine. I haven't checked to see if it is still going off at 10:00pm though. I've manually turned off the past days just to check if it was communicating which it was. Any ideas

sweet, can't wait to try it. I'll order up a I/O Linc
