What I have done accomplishes it in a round-about way. If you notice on my main page I have several scenes on it: Main level, upstairs lights, outside back , outside front etc. I have configured them so that if any light is on in that scene, it will turn red. I can then easily turn them all off, or by clicking on the icon, it opens the scene and I can see specifically which light is on / off and control them individually. so in essence, I have groups that narrows down what is on, and then I can see each item. There are over 30 lights in my main level scene.

I think what you are saying is extremely easy to do, if I understand it correctly. For example: I have my geofence in UD mobile linked to a State variable called Dougs_iphone_Home. When it's a 1, I am home. When it's a 0 I am outside of the fence. My phone, via UDMobile communicates with the ISY to change this variable as I enter and leave and enter and leave... Now in any programs I want to run, or any folders I want to run when I am away, I simply add this variable as a condition. ie: if Dougs_iphone_Home = 0, then .... else... So for example, I have an alarm that sets automatically each night at 10, if I am home...Is part of the conditions for the folder to even run each night. Another example is a fire place that starts in the morning, only if both myself and spouse are home. Morning Fire - [ID 0046][Parent 0012] If Time is 7:15:00AM And ( $Dougs_iPhone_home is 1 Or $Wendys_iPhone_home is 1 ) Then Run Program 'Morning Fire On LD' (If) The point is that once you have someway to tell the ISY if the phone is home or away ; (your way--> node is on /off, or my way--> a viable is 1 or 0), then the sky is hte limit on what you can do with that info in the ISY. One important thing though is to be sure to Init the variable to itself each time it changes, so that if you lose power it doesn't reset to 0 while you are home and screw things up. Doug Phone Init - [ID 014D][Parent 03C3] If $Dougs_iPhone_home is 0 Or $Dougs_iPhone_home is 1 Then $Dougs_iPhone_home Init To $Dougs_iPhone_home If this doesn't make sense, or I missunderstood your concern, let me know

Here are some screen shots from my favorites groups.. there are folders that contain second and third level screens. I'll try to describe with each screen shot. MAIN PAGE THAT APP IS SET TO OPEN TO: SCROLLING DOWN FROM ABOVE, MAIN PAGE IS TWO PAGES LONG Clicking on any of the icons above, will either run a programs true or false (toggling), or bring up the node for full control, or in the case of Russound Controls, its a folder that takes you to this page where I can toggle each zone on / off or change the volume in increments by running a programs Then command: Touching the Enable / disable on the main page takes me to this page where I can toggle key areas / functions of hte house by running a programs then or Else, toggling, that changes a variable which disables / enables folders/programs etc. Touching the Weather icon on the main page takes you to a page of weather info from my tempest via a plugin to ISY. Touching the room temps icon on the main page takes me here. Camera icon takes me here....where I can select any individual camera to see more. Sprinkler takes me here where each top button folder icon takes me to the two next screens. Anyway, I hope you get the idea... with a little bit of upfront time, it is really powerful and can be set up to be super easy to use according to your needs. cheers.

UD Mobile is extremely powerful, but yes it is a bit confusing to learn. The first thing I would suggest is to think about setting up you favorites screen (s). Then you dont really have to go through all your devices, or programs or vaiarialbes to run them. They will all run from the favorites screen. The challenge here is that you have to understand how to set up a favorite so that it can be a command, it can link to one device, but run a different program when pressed etc. You can add colors, but they are done in ACSI... I will post some more info soon for you to look at. It is WELL WORTH the effort once you get a handle on it.

The one thing I did not comment on is the size and location of the actual geofence (circle). if you play with it you should be able to figure it out but if not, just holler

yes.. it will never come up if you follow the above

GOT IT!!!! finally. Seems like I did the same things, but this time, it did come up to a MQTT config page! @Goose66Here are the screen shots of each step if you want to include in your directions.

I'll try that, but I am pretty sure that is the one I selected. From Ratdgo page: Click here to launch the ratgdo ESP Web Tools flasher Choose the version you wish to install ratgdo - includes WiFi configuration through ESP Tools. After flashing the firmware, ESP tools will ask you for your WiFi credentials. After ratgdo connects to your network, you will be given the option to Visit Device so you can configure the MQTT settings. I visit the page, but do not see where to configure the MQTT settings. Will try again.

One further update: I just refreshed one of the cards using windows. Same result. After the flash, this is the screen I get before the screen I posted above. Then I click on Visit Device and I get the above screen. The reason I havent installed it yet to see if the screen changes, is that these are going in a pole barn and it's only 15 degrees here! So I want to minimize my time in the cold! Thanks.

Ok. sorry for the long string. This is where I am at: I have two RATDGO devices Both flashed successfully to where I can "see" the devices at Http://<ratdgo IP>. What I see is attached. The option on the last page of the install was "view" device, not configure There is NO PLACE on the screen to make any changes. It is more of an "operating" screen where I can push buttons and things will happen ratgdov2.5i ca0567.pdf I do have parallels / windows on my Mac and can try to flash them again via that route? Both devices do the exact same thing. So that is why I am wondering if I have to install them on the GDO to get to the area where I can actually "configure" the devices per the RATDGO Plug in directions.

Ok. have been able to connect to the device by switching cables. Have also re-installed the software, but again, I dont see any option to set the configuration per the plug-in directions. What am I missing. T NOte.. i do not have it installed in the garage yet. is that why I dont have config page?

It seems like it's a connection issue. The first time I connected I had three options and chose serial usb. Now I am only getting one option and it is bluetooth and it acts the same whether the RATDGO has power /connected or not. So am pretty sure that is one problem I need to solve first.

Trying a slightly different way I get this message. Is there a button or some other way to reboot it?

Followed the directions for installing the firmware, was successful. Followed the prompts and connected to wifi successfully. Followed the prompts and could "view" the RATDGO successfully. However, per the directions for the RATDGO plug-in, I never had a prompt nor do I see anywhere to do the following --> Note that the ratgdo configuration page will require you to set an "OTA & Web Config Password" upon initial configuration. Make sure you don't forget this password! In order to gain subsequent access to the configuration page, you must authenticate with a username of the ratgdo "Device Name" and the "OTA & Web Config Password" that you set. If you forget the password, you will have to reflash the device and start again. Configuration settings that must be changed/verified comprise: Make sure the "Enable MQTT" checkbox is checked. So I decided that I must have overlooked that step and did a re-install. This time, it went to 89% complete and then stopped. My RATDGO now has a solid blue light and wont get past the "Preparing" stage for erasing and updating the firmware. Any suggestions? thanks.

Are you using JUST UD Mobile? First set up a variable that you want to toggle in the AC.. Then follow these screen shots. It should be very straightforward: THEN..... Then....name it and set the variable for 1 for enter and 0 for exit. hit save After hitting ADD, navigate to the variable that you set up earlier and enter the value you want for entry and exit. Hit save. that is all it should take to sett up.

@ekapigian Am sorry that you are having problems. You should open a ticket at https://www.universal-devices.com/contact-us/. Michel and team are very customer focused and should be able to get you up and running confidently and consistently.

Setting this up in UD Mobile is actually very easy. Post back if you are having problems, once you look through the Wiki above.

Here is another option that is new to the market... but no integration to ISY except through Alexa. https://konnected.io/blogs/news/the-open-source-myq-alternative?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=campaign&utm_campaign=01HKZQHMFQM6KY7EYJBH2WBQJH&_kx=pqkgK1oe-WskWjWDjECYBp6l8RAPacxFnnp3YXtzKNY%3D.MJyxwm

When the outside lights turn on, does it change the luminance at the Motion sensor? if so, the Wait forces a re-evaluation of the IF and will make it turn false and so the Then will never complete.. Remove and put your wait and off settings into your Else statement and see if that fixes it. From WIKI --> The program's conditions are reevaluated each time a Wait or Repeat statement is encountered, and at the end of each iteration of a Repeat loop. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Scope,_Precedence_and_Execution_Order#Statement_Execution_Order

@Kentinada I am not clear on exactly what you are asking. Do you have an insteon MD in the same vicinity as a Ring camera and you are trying to use the Ring camera to as a validation that the insteon MD is still working? ie, Motion from ring, but not InsteonMD? If that is the case you could put them both in an if statement: If ring=motion AND Insteon MD= motion. THEN leave blank, ELSE notify. BUT the problem is that they would have to report to the isy at the same time, so this would not work directly. You would need three programs that look at each other. Prog1 IF Ring=motion Then do nothing, Else Do nothing Prog2 If Insteon MD = motion Then do nothing Else do nothing Prog 3: If (prog 1 is true and prog 2 is true) or (prog 1 is false and prog 2 is false) Then do nothing Else, wait 10 seconds (or whatever time it takes for both to report true if they are working which will stop the Else from completing), Send notification Not sure if this is what you meant or not.

Updated to FreeBSD 13.2p9 yesterday w/o any problems on Polisy! Congrats to @Michel Kohanim and team. I think this is the 3rd or 4th upgrade, using the button in the AC w/o any problems. This has been a long road as the team at UD has moved us from 994i to Eisy/Polisy and Polyglot to Nodeservers to Plug-ins. It hasn't always been easy and I can image at times a nightmare for them trying to keep up. A 3-4 year journey? (from an old post--> we will be performing maintenance on Polyglot Infrastructure on Tuesday June 9, 2020) But through and through, they have always been there to sort out the issues. Developers of Plug-ins have grown in their sophistication as well. And NOW... we have one of the most versatile and powerful integrator platforms for the Prosumer available on the market! And one that is set to usher in Matter as it develops as well. CONGRATS!

There is a FIND and REPLACE command in the programs to make changes like this if needed. right click on the top My Programs folder and you will see the option. Is very useful to also just Find something in a program you cant remember .

Upgraded on Polisy w/o any issues... Thanks @Michel Kohanim

My Polisy is on the second floor, my PLM in the basement, connected via ethernet. A very long run w/o any problems.

It's not clear in your posts if you are using the Portal to create the link between Alexa and the Eisy. See post above as an example of the Portal from @Goose66. Alexa cant discover anything that is not in the Portal, as this is where the link is made for all the connections between Alexa and Eisy, which then has the connection to the Ratgdo. No skill for Ratgdo is needed in Alexa. If you are using hte portal, then there is something different going on which may be the Universal Devices Skill in Alexa isnt working properly.
