  1. I thought of that too. I was thinking there might be a better way.
  2. I want the light in the bathroom (which is operated by an Insteon switch) to work "normally" during the day, but at night, I want it to only come on a little bit. The program I made doesn't work right because the light comes on full and then dims to the level I want. I need it to only come on a little bit during the scheduled (nightime) hours. So, tap the switch during the day and it comes full on. Tap it at night and it only comes on a little bit.
  3. Thanks bgrubb So, 1 vote for Autelis. I was really hoping that some of the heavy hitters around here would chime in with some sage advice. Maybe they don't have pools?
  4. Wife and I recently purchased a new (to us) home with a pool, and I'm looking for advice on the best direction to go with integration with Insteon and my ISY. The control system is a Hayward/Goldline Prologic, version 2.86. So far in my research, I have come across: Hayward AQ-CO-SERIAL Aqua Connect Home Automation Serial Interface Hayward AQ-CO-HOMENET Aqua Connect Wireless Home Network Device (but it doesn't look my software version support this) Autelis PC100HG Pool Control for Hayward/Goldline Maybe there is another product that I haven't found that is the way to go? I'm just looking for some advice from someone who has been down this road. Which path is the right path? Thanks Tim
  5. I found that black electrical tape = happiness
  6. My wish would be that they would produce a screw in module with a chain control. Everyone knows what to do when they see a chain hanging down under a lamp shade.
  7. I'm in the exact situation the OP describes. We will be putting our home on the market soon. I just can't see leaving it behind, or even having it installed when showing, because the chances of a potential home buyer also being a HA hobbiest are slim to none. But I too consider leaving it behind because I'm interested in installing micro modules behind standard switches in our new house. What I think I'm going to do is take it all out and put everything back to "normal" and then sell what I can on ebay. Then buy new stuff for the new house.
  8. Thanks. That worked. Just FYI, I did not have to make any router changes for either this issue or the clock issue. That is, I did not add 8.8.8.8 to my router. Thanks again!
  9. Okay. The DNS field was grayed out, so I unchecked Automatic. I entered 8.8.8.8 in the DNS field and hit Save. An error window popped up "Invalid Subnet Mask"

    Clock

    Linksys E4200 Pretty much straight out of the box. I did add one entry in the Single Port Forwarding table for Mobilinc.

  12. I'm trying to install the Mobilinc Connect module, but I'm getting an error. "TCP client DNS error" Any suggestions?

    Clock

    24hrs, which I believe is the default setting. I don't recall ever changing it. In the past I had tried every time server that I could find, and none of them ever worked. Like I said, I wish I understood this stuff better. Thanks again.

    Clock

    That seems to have worked. Thanks. The red exclaimation mark is gone. I wish I understood this DNS stuff better. I don't understand what "8.8.8.8" has to do with anything and I don't understand why what I had did not work when it seems to work for others.

    Clock

    I have never been able to get the clock to synchronize. The time is always off and if I hit the Synchronize Now button, I get an error window. What am I doing wrong?
  16. You can also use the SimpleHomeNet EZIComm. It's functionally equivalent to the discontinued 2412S. It's not dual band, but I like it because it's one less wall wart to deal with.
  17. Thanks Illusion. That's probably WAY simpler than what I would have come up with.
  18. I've written a few simple programs for the ISY, but my knowledge is no where near some of yours. So I thought I would just ask for help instead of struggling to figure this out. In a nutshell, we have a water feature in our backyard and I would like to have it run basically at random during the day. So, for example, let's say: * I only want it to run between 8 am and 10 pm * Run times and off times are random * When it does run, I want it to run at least 20 minutes, but no more than 60 minutes * When it is off, I want it to stay off for at least 30 munutes, but no more than 90 minutes * And, if possible, it only runs for a total of 4 hours a day (this is not that important, but thought I would throw it in as a wish list) If someone could at least give me the basics as to how to approach this, I would really appreciate it.
  19. Everybody grab your knife and fork and start pounding them on the table! Fanlinc! Fanlinc! Fanlinc! (yes, I'm a troublemaker)
  20. Is EZUIRT still a no go? My EZUIRT and IR remotes are an integral part of my Insteon system and I was really disheartened to find it not supported after purchasing my ISY. Is there at least a way to get the links into the ISY database so they aren't overwritten?
