Thanks, Works now!

I paid for ISY portal and trying to create an account gives me an HTTP error 500 in several browsers. I looked through the forums and can't find any answers.

In regards to the Xenon lamp problem. I can vouch for the low signal voltage causing noise when the module is off. I had an electronic fluorescent ballast that would numb the module it was plugged into and others while it was off. Imagine my surprise when I finally figured that one out. Good luck!

Is it just me or has the X10 side gotten unreliable all of a sudden? Has anyone with X10 experienced a degradation in reliability?

I too would also like to roll back to 2.6.8. I tried to do it, but it said isy denied the upgrade. Do I have to do a factory reset? If so, what order of firmware upgrades should I do to get to 2.6.8? Thanks,

I just did a factory reset on a SLD and when I change the on-level (Applied Locally) it does not program the switch. If I sent an 'on' command from the Isy, it goes to the right level, but not when I press the paddle. Is this normal? The Isy is reporting V.27.

Under program details, to add or edit a schedule the time drop down menus just show .... Also under Manage Programs, the buttons show partial words then... (New...; Und...) I am using Firefox with an iMac. It looks like a font size issue. Is this something I can correct? I think it happened when I upgraded to 2.6.10. Thanks.

Woo Hoo! First to report. No issues here so far. Thank you Michel for sacrificing for us, we appreciate it!

Hello, I just noticed I am able to sort columns on the Main Page, for My Lighting. I am not able to sort columns under Program Summary. Is this something I can fix? Thanks

I was just looking in my programs after the upgrade, and to edit a time in an existing program, it just shows ... in the time drop downs under 'schedule'. I cleared the Java and re-booted. It is still there. Do you see this?

Please reference: http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=1466 The part about: Adjusting On Level/Ramp Rates with a program. Is there a way to change the on level and ramp rate for applied locally? If so this would be perfect for one of my programs.

This program did not work properly. I was on vacation so Keypadlinc D was On. On Friday and Monday the program ran and executed 'Then' On Sat and Sun the program did not run the 'Then' Path. Is it a parenthesis issue? If On Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri Time is 5:30:00PM Or On Sat, Sun Time is 10:00:00AM And Status 'KeypadLinc D (Vacation)' is Off Then Set 'Digital Picture Frame' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Thanks again.

I am using a Mac with OS X. On my PC, I can sort the columns in program summary. On the Mac, I cannot. I figured this was a Java version thing until I discovered I could sort the columns in the Main window. Is this something that can be fixed easily? I tried the new version of Java, but Firefox will not even run the applet and Safari acts the same as before, so I reverted back to the old version. Thanks!

Ok then, Chris. Should there be a defined order, say either one we can set, or somehow made to run in the order of the times they are referencing? ie. a program that is set to run at 10:00 AM will run before a program that is set to run at 11:00 AM. Can that be put in the next drop? I think it would be very beneficial. Thanks!

Mr. Jahn, Thank you for your reply, but I was asking specifically what order the programs themselves run. At an 11:00 PM reboot, any program that should have run sometime that day, ran and sent the appropriate commands out to the modules. They all show the same time as have run because they run so fast. Does the "Sunrise" program run before the "Sunset Program", etc.? Is that new catch up on schedules grace period supposed to only run programs that were scheduled within 15 minutes (or set duration) of a restart? If so, it did not work and all my programs ran. Thanks!

Is there a certain order that programs run when the isy is restarted? I was trying to come up with the logic last night after the upgrade and I could not figure it out. Some of my lights were not in the correct state when the isy was done running programs. I will say this, the programs that ran were consistent to the state of my Keypadlinc buttons before the restart. The statuses for the Kepadlinc buttons still showed blank in the Main page, and as usual toggling the buttons fixed that. Is that going to be changed in the future, where it shows the status based on the state before restart?

The query program is the part the failed to work correctly in my deck spots program. I had the query run after the folder enabled and the program would not call the "Then' statement intermittently. IndyMike, Did you move the query program outside the folder? Did that help? That was Chris Jahn's suggestion at the beginning of my Deck Spots post. Also, thank you for the clarification of the original question. Can you tell me where conditional folders differ than putting the conditional in the program? Is there a scenario where the folder has to be the conditional?

I posted this in the middle of another topic, but I want to bring it up separately. I found is that if I change a device status from the ISY, that programs do not see it correctly. I turned off a device earlier tonight from the ISY and this program (which is in a time restrained folder) still shows 'True', having run tonight at 10:01, even though the Icon 2 is Off: If Time is 10:01:00PM And Status 'Icon 2' is On Then Run Program 'Test 2 Pager' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Is this how it is supposed to be?

It appears I have experienced Frank's problem. I went on a quick vacation Friday night. I have a KeypadLinc that I use Button D for Vacation Mode. I have two folders; One for Vacation Mode On, and the other for Vacation Mode Off. I have instructions in both folders. I checked the ISY log and verified it saw me turn on the Vacation button. *KEEP IN MIND THIS ARRANGEMENT WORKED FINE A MONTH AGO FOR A WEEK AND NO CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO IT* The problem: The instructions in the 'Vacation Mode On' folder did not execute when Vacation Mode was on. The program summary shows no execution time/dates. (I have reset the ISY since the vacation a month ago). I came home yesterday and turned off 'Vacation Mode'. Again I verified the ISY saw it. The instructions in the 'Vacation Mode Off' folder failed to execute last night. Programs showing have last run 2 nights ago. There is a problem with the folders operating correctly. I am going to re-write the programs to not use the folders.

You know, it is funny. A lot of times I think my post gets too explanatory and seems very windy to me, so I end up taking out half of it, thinking I am over explaining it. As a result, I take out crucial information. The code I posted, that you quoted, I am confirming it is the one that showed false even though I got the notification. It is a test program. Icon 2 never changes state, there are no other links to it, no timers or triggers. It remains on. Your statements 1 and 2 are understood by me. The Icon never changes state. I am trying to get a solid 'Trip Up' as you would say, so we can give UD something to work with. Tonight the Status Trigger Test showed True after running at 10:01PM, but in my experience, the program works fine the first night after a modification to programming (programming which I show on my second post stating I call another program to notify me). We will see tomorrow night. I am posting my progress in testing just to share with all.

Thank you Indy Mike. My test program I mentioned earlier is working, however after posting I went and looked and the program state was false, having last run at 10:01. There is no reason it should say False. I got the notification though (Then routine). I now have the Test program call another program to send the notification. Both are in the time constrained folder. We will see. New code posted below. Folder Conditions for 'Test Folder' Add conditions to limit when programs in this folder are allowed to run. If From 10:00:00PM To Sunrise (next day) Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. Status Trigger Test: If Time is 10:01:00PM And Status 'Icon 2' is On Then Run Program 'Test 2 Pager' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') For complete posting here is the pager program: If Control 'KeypadLinc C' is switched On Then Send Notification to All Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

You know, I just went back and read Chris Jahn's first reply to my first post. I totally missed the part where he tells me to move the Status program out of the folder. Sorry Chris! IndyMike, Let me know if you duplicate it, but I am satisfied now that my programs are functioning. I just put time conditions in the programs and eliminated the folders. Thank you again for all your help. If anything, I learned A LOT about programming the ISY.

It was located in the folder that was open from 10:00 PM to Sunrise(Next Day). Are you asking me to verify this? I am trying another test and the problem is NOT happening. This is in a Folder with conditions of 10:00 PM to Sunrise(Next Day): If Time is 10:01:00PM And Status 'Icon 2' is On Then Send Notification to All Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I am getting the notification each night. Go figure. This is not any different than the other "Status" Program, well except it is not calling another program. I will try that next.

I think a run time at the triggered time or at the trigger state is normal. The time or trigger caused the program to evaluate the ifs and decide if it is true or false. I am seeing that in all my programs. What I was doing was calling a status 1 minute after the folder opened to determine by the newly privileged program to evaluate the Spots status. If it evaluates an OFF, then run the Then portion of the delayed malibu light program. The If part of the Switched off portion of the Off at night was for if I switched them off AFTER 10 PM. I guess I could have moved the status program outside the 10PM folder and left the Deck Spots On/Off in the folder. Might work that way. My Status program does use a Status trigger, but my Off at Night uses a control trigger.

These recent programs are working normally so far. No issues there. The issue is when they are in a time conditional folder, they execute the first night, but not the second. I feel this needs looking into because I think there is a bug that need working out. When the program 'Deck Spots Status' is in a folder that enables at 10:00PM, it runs on schedule at 10:01PM. I have always had it that way. Folder opens at 10:00 and program set to run at 10:01. It executes properly the first night, leaving the status as true. If I do nothing to the programming and just turn off the deck spots sometime before 10:00 PM the next night, the 'Deck Spots Status' program says last run time is tonight at 10:01, but never goes to true, therefore never running the Then line. I am thinking that there is a bug with the conditional folder. Maybe over a sunrise or day lapse or something. I would request anyone who is trying to duplicate the problem to do it exactly as I had. Use the earlier code, put them in folders with the conditions the same as mine (10:00 to Sunrise (Next Day)). Use the programs posted by IndyMike on March 25 at 3:24 PM. Obviously use your own test modules, but leave the core of the program as is.
