@MarkJames Hi Mark, it's actually pretty simple. Here is an example program and how to create it. I have found that it works best with a few (silence) commands to "warm up" the speaker connection because I have the elk connected to a PA announcement option in my whole home Sound system. You may not need that. Announce Front Doorbell LD - [ID 0192][Parent 0104][Not Enabled] If $Away is 0 Then Set 'ELK Controller' Speak Word [500ms_Silence] Set 'ELK Controller' Speak Word [500ms_Silence] Set 'ELK Controller' Speak Word [800hz_Tone] Set 'ELK Controller' Speak Word [800hz_Tone] Set 'ELK Controller' Speak Word Guest Set 'ELK Controller' Speak Word At Set 'ELK Controller' Speak Word Front Set 'ELK Controller' Speak Word Door Else Send Notification to 'DBW Text' content 'Doorbell Front' Leave Disabled-->Called byFront Dorbell

@gregkinney Greg , if I understand correctly, your issue is upon restart you lose the value of a varilabe becuase the init value is 0. The solution to this is quite simple. Every time you change an important "governing" variable, add an init line below it to init it to itself. I do this on probably 50% of my variables. It looks like this: Autolocks - [ID 0121][Parent 01A5] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then $Autolocks = 1 $Autolocks Init To $Autolocks Else $Autolocks = 0 $Autolocks Init To $Autolocks To get this option, you need to click on the Arrow as shown below. Continue to click on the arrow to cycle through other options as well.

Louder / softer works well. I have the following as a screen in Favorites on UDmobile. The Softer / louder buttons tie to programs like this: Rus Bedroom Louder - [ID 0385][Parent 0377] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then $I_Rus_Bedroom_Volume = 'RussoundCtl_1 / Bedroom Sound' Volume dB $I_Rus_Bedroom_Volume += 4 Set 'RussoundCtl_1 / Bedroom Sound' Volume '$I_Rus_Bedroom_Volume Decibel' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Issue was in the app.. for some reason it had changed to m/s. changed it back, restarted NS and all is great! Thanks.

It exists.. see screenshot. thanks.

attached is log. Am not sure what to do per your above message. thanks. MyQ_10-6-2023_110136-AM.zip

Wind speed has changed to m/s vs mph @bpwwer I dont know why or when this changed but noticed it today. Reading through other posts, it appears this is the startup default and it will switch? Am not sure why it "reset". Have been using this NS since it was available and have not had this before. Any thoughts? Thanks.

OMG.. forgot about that step.. lol. It is even in the directions!! Once the "MyQ Service" appears in the Admin Console, click the "Discover Devices" button for the node to discover MyQ bridges (hubs) and devices linked to your account. THANKS! sorry to waste your time. All working excellently!!

I added a new MyQ garage opener with its own hub. It shows on my MyQ app just fine, but the NS would not load it. I deleted the old door opener, restarted the NS a few times. It reloads the old door but not the new one. So I deleted the NS and re installed it. Now it is only loading hte main Service = true, but zero of my 11 nodes. Have restarted it a few times. No change. Attached are the logs. Any ideas? thanks. MyQ_10-4-2023_100926-AM.zip

Another ALL PROGRAMS DISABLED situation: Had a power blip here today. Polisy wasn't responding correctly afterwards. Could not access via AC. Unplugged, replugged. Gained access upon reboot. All programs were again disabled. Had to do another restore from my back up. After restore, self reboot, am back in and everything is fine. STRANGE.

yes. 13.2 OS 5.7 IOX 3.2.8 PGX

Update: per @brians, I ran uname -a to check the OS. Was still on 13.1 so did another upgrade packages. Followed onscreen directions, all seem to come up fine, but then I noticed many programs were "locked" in a run position but should not have been as there were no waits, and most were simple 3-5 line programs. So I did another reboot and restarted the AC to find all my programs (~1000) disabled. I did a restore from the back up I made prior and all seems to be back to normal.

@dantoronto. this is true for insteon devices, but cant remember if their thermostat was actual insteon or Z-wave. if its z-wave, you should "remove" it via the Z-wave menu. Just FYI if it applies.

As mentioned above, in the summary tab under programs, there is a column where you can toggle to run a program at startup. I have a variable called Startup that a program sets to 1 upon startup. That then disables most folders that aren't needed immediately, while enabling a "startup" folder where I run key programs that I need for startup. For example, a tests for the thermostat settings is run, outside lighting tested etc, I reset programs that I use to enable / disable items such as driveway alerts, sprinklers etc. There is also one program that lists (requires diligence to keep it up to date) all my programs that should be disabled and disables them all just to be sure. After everything has run that I feel needs to run, the startup toggle is switched back to 0 and the Startup folder becomes disabled while all other folders that were temporary disabled become enabled. I have learned to do this through the years due to times where I have accidentally created infinite loops etc or had thermostats at the wrong setting after a power failure etc. For ease of finding my programs, I append a LD on the end of the program's name to designate Leave Disabled. This doesn't mess up the alphabetical order of my programs but makes them easy to find in the summary tab. See screen shot below.

Am not sure if it is "fixed", but I just did the upgrade w/o any problems. Beeps were off, but when asked to reboot via the AC, I did so and all is fine. To connect again, I did the usual clear java cache and downloaded new AC from https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp. Loaded just fine. I do have a program that runs at every restart that manually disables all my disabled programs (lesson learned long ago to avoid any unintended infinite loops) so I dont know for sure if they loaded correctly or not or were "fixed" via this startup program. I also go to http://polisyaddress:8080/admin.jnlp and download the local file as getting to the AC directly this way is much faster and there is never a "isy didnt load" issue in the launcher. Cheers.

Glad to see you got it working... there are specific forums for each Node Server. Here is the one for Harmony Hub. https://forum.universal-devices.com/forum/311-harmonyhub/

@Javi I have a favorites page, that has each item size set to 1. Whenever I first load the page it looks like this, with Wind Speed and Wind Direction taking up more than 1 space and pushing Gusts down below. Then after about 20-30 seconds, it correctly aligns. See second picture. FYI, Thanks.

Yes, you will need access to PGx to manage your NS. Sounds like you have tried quite a few things. Are you getting to a login screen for pgx? You should get one here: 'https://192.168.68.76:3000/login' (replace red address with your EISY address). If you have access to your AC, have you tried clicking on the NodeServers menu and at the bottom click on PG3? Your system may show slightly different words as I have not made the jump to 5.7 yet. See screen shot below. Also have you checked under Configuration/ Portals tab in the AC to see if the portal is online? Stick with it as the integration makes life much smoother than tying to program things through Alexa. If you continue to have trouble or someone else here cant help, you should open a ticket at UDI's website. Good luck!.

@Scott Korvek Scott I like the ecobee. works well, the ISY integration is great. Dont really use many of the features since I use the ISY to change temps etc. But we do rent the home at times so I do have a rental program that is local to the ecobee that was pretty easy to set up and I can initiate it remotely. I like that it also has fan controls to run the fan X minutes per hour to keep circulation up even when AC isnt called for.

If you stated goal was to prefer to be local vs reliant on the internet, then an inexpensive Z-wave like mentioned above should work well. If you aren't that interested in z-wave, there is already an ecobee NS and the cheapest ecobee https://www.amazon.com/Ecobee3-Thermostat-Wi-Fi-Works-Alexa/dp/B01K48T09Y/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2PJOTZ7UEUQ75&keywords=ecobee&qid=1695418818&s=home-garden&sprefix=ecobee%2Cgarden%2C136&sr=1-3 would also work via the ISY. I use both, local Z-wave Honeywell at my main house, ecobee at a second house, that the ISY located at the first house controls.

Makes perfect sense. I forget about folders in the tree. Use them extensively for programming, but not there. Put all the services and hub into a folder. Renamed all the door openers to logically fall in their right place on the tree; Garage Doors, Pole Barn Doors, Vacation home Garage door. thanks!

@Goose66 Thanks for fixing hte MyQ load balancing issue. A new question for you: I have 10 Nodes that show up in my AC: -1 Node for the Service -3 Gateways Nodes: (hub at house 1, Opener-hub at house 2, Opener Hub house 1--> new as a replacement -6 Device nodes, all Garage door openers The issue is that the Devices all show up under the hub they are connected to, each hub shows up as a node and then the service as a node and they end up scattered all over in my device tree. While I can group the devices under their hub, I cant organize the hubs / service to be together. Any ideas? I can move the one new garage door opener with hub at house 1 under the general hub at house 1 to get it back in line, but beyond that, I change the names so that they all are next to each other, but that is all. Thanks

Can you go to the program and Right click on it and select "copy to clipboard" and then post it? It would be helpful to see the whole program. thanks.

AWESOME!! Thanks @Goose66.. Updated, everything is working as it used to! Love this program. thanks.

I like the idea of searching etc. But I will stick to adding an LD at the end of the program name as to not change the alphabetical order of my programs when looking through them as groups etc. @btreinders great ideas... I only keep track of my disabled programs and a have a start up program that runs to disable them. Nothing else can run until that is completed. If needed, I can enable ALL programs, and then run my program that disables all of the programs that should be disabled. There is a danger to that approach of course of loops being created temporarily but with over 1000 programs, it would be a losing battle to try and keep track of all of them. I like your idea though of checking for enabling of a disabled program and shutting things down. I have had the infinite loop / bog down happen several times due to a program somehow getting enabled when it shouldn't be and it's a tough thing to stop / catch.
