But you also need to include the line for specific folders to show. For mine, it is: Scene Filter = Scenes, Interior, exterior

Barry, With regard to Custom devices. I have enabled it with the 'Custom Address' in the .INI file. What if I need to talk to several different custom end points? I tried editing the default custom IP:Port in the On URL box and doing an update, but that just appended the old default to the new address I edited. Is there another way to add multiple custom devices? I guess I could change the .INI whenever I needed to add another custom device. Since I would rarely do that, this would probably work just fine. I was going to use this to power on/off my amplifier that accepts http commands. EDIT: I realized that there is an issue with updating any custom device. If, for example, you change the name and hit update, it will append the default IP address again. is this a bug?

Ferdie, You need to include the Scene folders you want to display in your .ini. I had the same issue with no scenes showing up until I edited the .ini file.

Michel, Is there a thread or topic discussing the details of what can be done with this, what is required, potential costs, etc? For example, will this allow dimming? Perhaps customer phrases beyond 'turn on' and 'turn off'?

Thanks, Barry. 1173 indeed works perfectly!!! As for the Mikrotik, I recall these guys made bare boards that were out of this world. Some of the best h/w out there. But I am a long time dd-wrt guy and am not sure I am up for learning a new OS, especially one that is as complex and powerful as the one provided by Mikrotik! Also, I noticed you have some info below your application's main window (some words on the left, a list of all discovered devices in the middle, and a 'help' text box on right (until you hit okay!). Just curious what those will be / are used for?

This is very cool. It would be great to get the HVAC item working as a 'proof of concept'. In preparation for this, should I go ahead an install stunnel on my RPi? Let me know if/when you need someone to beta test. Your current configurator with 2 copies of the 0.4.4 bridge is working perfectly and rock solid on my RPi2. So I need something else I can break!

Just tried it. I only copied the .exe file; I hope that is OK. When i tried to move, does bypass the OK dialog, but when I select the new bridge from the drop down, it crashes with the message "Stop Statement Encountered"

Yes, I can see how you got there. But you seem to have done a very good job with the red lettering 'select emulator' that shows up near the bridge selection area to make it clear this should be filled in. If the OK dialog is removed, it will still wait for your to select a bridge, right? And if you do not, no harm since it does what you really want in terms of selecting least used. I think you wrote the software very well, so that it does not need the OK dialog, but I certainly understand why you put it in. I would prefer it be removed though. Not a big issue, however. I was just reading about your background on your web site. Damn impressive. And wonderful work on this project. How far along are you on the "Alexa, ask Sarah to..." functionality. I did not see any software associated with this yet. But I am probably just not up to speed with what you are doing there.

Oddly, it turned out that using my RPi wireless was the issue. If it connected to the right WAP, it was fine. If not, it did not work well. So I just went wired for ethernet and all is well. Barry, your configuration program is wonderful. Does everything I want. Only minor change I might suggest is to remove the need to press "OK" every time you move a device between bridges. I had to move 30 devices, and hitting the extra OK key each time slowed things down. Great work, Barry.

Barry, Thanks to the GREAT documentation you have in your AWS_Config tool package, I was able to get my RPi2 up and running with 2 emulators (all I want for now). I added a device and it works perfectly. Just as responsive as the emulator running on my server tower. However, after doing MOVES of several devices from my old emulator running on my PC, I am finding that Alexa no longer discovers any devices on my RPi2. I have rebooted several times. Your configurator sees all the devices, but Alexa only wants to discover devices on my PC, not the RPi2. I even turned my PC off, but still no joy. Any ideas?

Barry, What Linux are you using on your RPi2? Raspbian? Also, are you using wired or wireless connection? Some people say one will work while other will not. I tried to get an older version working on my RPi2 a few weeks ago and never figured it out. I am going to try again and wanted to duplicate your setup as much as possible. I do have an FTP server for uploads, but I think it would just take too long to upload a 16G image!

Fully agree. And since I did not see a thumbs up icon in our library..... ...../ ) .....' / ---' (_____ ......... ((__) ..... _ ((___) ....... -'((__) --.___((_)

I fully support the idea of making Echo a sub-form all to itself. I think this will be one of the hottest development areas for ISY in quite some time. I think this is even more important than the ELK integration that was done several years ago. Having this buried in this forum will result in too many cross-posts in the other forums I think.

I have a program to just turn on/off the AC and Heater. It always uses the last temperature that was set for each, which is fine for us. We always keep AC at 74 and HEATat 66. Wife loves it! Have not tried the increase/decrease temp program yet. It would require being able to set a variable for currently set temp. Not sure that is doable in v4 of ISY that I am using. Maybe in v5?

I HAVE ACHIEVED WAF=9/10!! My wife has NOT been a big fan of my obsession with Insteon and the ISY. The All-On bug nearly drove her over the edge and she demanded to have every Insteon device removed. But she hung in there. Then I got the Echo. That changed everything. She now loves the insteon devices and the 'automated home'. I have the Echo controlling not just lights, but commands like 'turn on air conditioner" and "turn on door chime" (turn on ELK chime when door/window opened) and "turn on house fan" (which turns on my AirScape 3.5e whole house fan, and provides feedback when she needs to open more windows to allow for proper air flow). The Echo is working so well, she wants to add one for the bedroom to control things at night without getting out of bed. And the alarm is much easier to set with Echo than our damn alarm clock. Never thought this day would come. Now if we can add dimming and ability to pass variables (like 'turn on air conditioner to 74') then I think we might be flirting with the highly elusive 10/10 WAF.

Look for a folder called Data located where your .jar file is located. I believe that has all your discovered devices. (??)

I am in the process of moving my emulator from my Windows 7 pc over to a RPi2. Can I just copy over the data folder to the RPi to avoid reconfiguring?

Wow, Barry. This is getting pretty damn cool!

I am SO grateful for your work on this program. It really has sped up my ability to work with the Echo and ISY. Thanks for your time and energy. Great work!

Well, I reverted to version 7 of mapper, and it now works. Apparently there is some limitation to number, name, or type of programs that causes versions above 7 to crash on my system. I have LOTS of programs, perhaps too many for the mapper to handle(?)

Did you use the version 2.1 jar file from your link, or did you use the older 1.3 from this thread? In either case, I am able to navigate to the /configurator.html page which indicates my jar program is running fine. And I can talk to my isy at its IP address. But the mapper program just keeps returning the "Exception occured - send g1of4 System.Net.WebException:The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found" error. I am stumped. Tried running mapper from several PCs with same result. I have attached the full error message. It appears it might be an issue when getting programs for the ISY?

Also, I have failed to get this to run on my Windows 7 64bit laptop. Got it to run on a pc at my brother's house, but not at my home on my PC. I run the jar program, it shows success in running, but when I try to run mapper, I always get a response "Exception occured - send g1of4 System.Net.WebException:The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found" Any thoughts what is wrong? I confirmed the addresses of my ISY and my PC that is running the JAR.

I see directions for setting up on a Windows PC. Are there directions for setting up on a RPi? I could not find them on first read through this thread.

Neat!! And I guess I do not even need the networking module in this case, right? Thanks. And you have just made me think about about a half dozen other uses for this cool trick. Blueman2

The documentation on the networking module is rather sparse. Does anyone know if the module allows you to trigger a program based on receiving a network command from another device (in my case, an IP camera program called iSpy which can send messages via http)?
