For toggling, I have been using programs where the set up is a Command favorite with the program as the command and the display is the RATGDO status. This way, whenever I touch the favorite it will run the IF of the program.. If I want to customize the action. See screen shots below for PB South Pole Barn South Open / Shut Start LD - [ID 02A4][Parent 0042][Not Enabled] If 'Pole Barn South Door' Door State is Closed Then Run Program 'Pole Barn South Alexa' (Then Path) Else Run Program 'Pole Barn South Alexa' (Else Path) <<Used by UD mobile>> Pole Barn South Alexa - [ID 0314][Parent 0042] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'Pole Barn South Door' Open Else Set 'Pole Barn South Door' Close

Have you tried do it the other way around? Having the Eisy change a variable that is a "motion sensor" in Alexa that then triggers the bulb to come on or off via two routines? I do this with a garage light and it seems to work pretty well.

@NinjaNun Are these are AMAZON bulbs, or Philipps? If amazon, go to the app, find them under devices... are they there? are they showing as "unresponsive"? if so you can probably delete them, and then re-add them to the amazon app. If they are Phillips Hue bulbs, then you need to do the same thing using the Phillips app. If they are in there and working (ie you can control them), then you link between Phillips and your Alexa account needs to be refreshed.. In the Alexa app, disable / delete the Phillips Hue "Skill" and then re-add it, following the directions to link your hue account / hub to the Alexa app. Hope that works for you. And yes, this forum is primarily geared for people using Universal Device's home automation controllers.

Just checked my Polisy running 5.8.0 No problems: Time is right, sunrise is right and sunset is right. not sure if it "cleared itself" but all is good on my system

this is a key that is often overlooked..Elk can only have one connection to it at a time. "you must have the RP2 software "disconnected" for PG3(s) to connect to it. "

I usually put my time constraints first and then use (AND) for the rest of the statement. Theoretically it shouldn't make a difference, but it makes it much easier to read, but maybe it does make a difference that I am not aware of. Example: From 3:00:00AM To 2:00:00PM (same day) and (Alarm / INTERIOR / LIVING ROOM MOTION' is switched Open And ( 'Alarm / DMP' System Alarm State is Armed Stay Or 'Alarm / DMP' System Alarm State is Armed Sleep ) ) See if that triggers as expected.

I don't use GH, but I use Alexa.. it's the same in Alexa.. a program in ISY transfers over as a scene in Alexa terms. You run the THEN by turning ON the device and the ELSE by turning off the device. For example below.. "Alexa turn on the Air vent" and the THEN for my program Air Vent Alexa, runs. Notice that the isy category is program, while the Alexa category is scene.

Have you done a sync lately from the settings in UDMobile. I have found that if I have made changes in the AC, sometimes it can be slow to populate until I do a sync.

AS always, there are many different approaches to things. My ecobee is in a home that I use, rent and can be vacant. While I am sure the ecobee can do all these modes, I get tired of learning new systems and relying on me doing something separate / in addition to all the other things I have to do to "set" the whole home in the mode it needs to be in when I leave it, or a renter leaves it etc. The other home with two thermostats are not ecobees, but older Honeywells with Zwave. No way to link them natively, so the isy is perfect, and because one is much smaller and upstairs, it requires different offsets to the main level one so as to not do "all the work" or vice versa. Again, ISY manages that really well.

I often get caught up in the "battle of controllers" : ISY, Alexa, Ecobee etc.. As a result, whenever possible I default to using the ISY for control. So in both of my houses, even though I have "smart" thermostats, I basically never touch them and let the ISY do all the temp management. When either home is in "Vacation" mode, then EVERYTHING to do with the house being vacant gets managed on one controller.. the isy --=> security, temperature, water pump, random lights at night, etc. This has helped to keep my sanity around trying to remember which controller is doing what. A few other temp related examples of isy vs thermostat control: -if I tell Alexa to set the thermostat at house 1 to set the AC temp to anything above 80, isy takes over and runs the fan 30 out of 60m minutes, and holds indefinitely the tempt 85.. But as soon as I ask Alexa to set the temp to anything below 80, isy takes over and adjusts the temperature to the schedule I like which includes 4 or 5 adjustments between 11pm and 8am to keep the house circulating and cooling. -at house 2, I have two thermostats. if I tell Alexa a temp for either one, it will adjust the other one automatically to be in sync. (upstairs / downstairs). and depending on the outside temp it will adjust them either plus 1, even of minus 1 as I have noticed they run best this way at certain temps. -using seasonal input, temps and schedules and modes adjust automatically. All of this would be a nightmare to do on a thermostat. cheers!

@Javi ISY 5.8.0. PGX 3.2.18 There are no allow isy access parameters for those two PI..

@Javi Javi, see screen shots of when I click on Ring and ecobee.. and when I click on ELK--> I get nothing.. just a blank screen with a spinning wheel. I have restarted my iPhone with same result. Thoughts? thanks. All other ~10 PI are working as expected.

Had to check the new box "Allow ISY Access by Plugin". Then wa able to get the elk working again. However @Jimbo.Automates there is still no access via the beta plugin page on UDMobile.

Well here’s the problem with that. The plug in environment is not stable yet. for example this morning I woke up and three of my plugins are not connected. trying to restart the elk plugin through UD mobile and all I get is a spinning wheel before I even can get to the restart screen my ecobee PI responds with a long error message when I click on it the only way I can reset things is through the main pgx page directly. I can go down the rabbit hole again for why each plugin decides to fail but sometimes I don’t have the time and just need to get them working again.

Am I missing something? -can connect to pgx plugins via UDmobile -can connect to pgx directly IF I open a port on my router, but I get hacked when I do this and it causes the plug ins to quit and restart 1-2x /day -can connect to ISY AC remotely via the UDI address via launcher -->my.isy.io/isy/xxxxxxx as shown below -can NOT connect to PGx via the UDI address of https://my.isy.io:3000 which comes up when I use the launcher. -Settings in portal seem to be correct?

Its there now.. thanks..

Hey @Jimbo.Automates. the example isnt showing up? thanks

thanks @Goose66 that did the trick!! you guys are awesome!

looks like they got Alexa working again. I have increased polling times, and restarted, but plug-in still is reporting back false for service connection.

access method is both.. Alexa and plugin.. both are not working, so assume the problem is on their end. tried to call but the hold time >1 hour and now they are no longer accepting calls, just asked to call again tomorrow.. lol

Update. must be an iaqualink issue as my Alexa skill wont connect either. I hope they havent gone by way of the MyQ service!

Posting here as there is no specific pgx forum for this plug in. Updated to 3.31 python. Have restarted PI several times. Wont connect to service. I can connect to their service directly thru the web. any help? log packages included. iAquaLink_2-26-2024_75453_AM.zip

I do this all over my house using two programs. Here is an example. Works just fine. Never have the lights turn out if I am making motion. This is a battery MS II. Office Motion On - [ID 0122][Parent 0132] If From Sunrise - 1 hour To 9:30:00PM (same day) And ( 'MD Office' is switched On Or 'MD Office' Status is On ) And ( 'Office Desk' Status is Off Or 'Office Cans' Status is Off ) Then Set 'Office' Fast On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Office Motion Off - [ID 0176][Parent 0132] If 'MD Office' Status is Off And ( 'Office Cans' Status is not Off Or 'Office Desk' Status is not Off ) Then Wait 10 minutes Set 'Office' Off Wait 1 second Set 'Office' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') And here is second way I do it>... Exercize Motion on - [ID 0138][Parent 0139] If 'MD Exercize Room-Sensor' is switched On Or 'MD Exercize Room-Sensor' Status is On And ( From Sunrise To Sunset (same day) ) Then Repeat Every 19 seconds Set 'Excer Cans' Fast On Run Program 'Exercize Motion Off' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Exercize Motion Off - [ID 0106][Parent 0139] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Wait 5 minutes Set 'Excer Cans' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') And in all cases, I also have a "delay" program so that if someone turns the light off manually, the MS doesn't turn it back on right away..so that they can exit the room w/o triggering it. Here's what that program looks like for each of the cases above. Office Delay on - [ID 011B][Parent 0132] If 'Office Cans' is switched Off And ( 'Office Desk' Status is not Off Or 'Office Cans' Status is not Off ) Then Disable Program 'Office Motion On' Else Wait 7 seconds Enable Program 'Office Motion On' Exercize Delay on - [ID 0100][Parent 0139] If 'Excer Cans' Status is not Off And 'Excer Cans' is switched Off Then Disable Program 'Exercize Motion on' Else Wait 12 seconds Enable Program 'Exercize Motion on'

@slimypizza Have you considered trying to use the plug in on Eisy? It looks like it can do what you are trying to do directly in the Eisy vs HA.

here is a link on how to set up the geofence in UDMobile
