  1. try typing this into a web browser... http://<LAN IP>:8080/admin.jnlp this should download a local copy of admin.jnlp which will link to the AC and will give you direct access to the sign in screen. Otherwise, try adding http://<LAN IP>:8080 to the UD Finder and see if it finds it locally.
  2. I was able to get my camera feeds to work after a lot of trials.. but not Ring cameras. This is the path I finally used for local monitoring of my IP cameras, changing the last number in the hundreds digit. (201, 301, 401 etc) rtsp://<Username>:<Password>@192.168.68.101:554/Streaming/channels/301
  3. Going back to the original question, you can set up Favorites in UDM and then LOCK edits. The favorites page you set up can be labeled however you want, with icons, colors and commands, so that a simple press, toggles a switch, program etc. Extremely powerful once you figure it out. This is what I do for my wife. Works well.
  4. I use an iPad mounted on the wall with UDM. Might be able to use a Fire tablet as well, but havent tried it.... would be much cheaper than an iPad.
  5. Hmm. Strange. I would think that if they are in your heircachy then you should be able to use its status as a trigger.
  6. Programming can always get around this. ie: zwave switch initiates a program that turns the rest of the scene on / off.
  7. @ScottAvery Scott....sometimes you need to "re-sync" UDM to get it to see new devices. -go to Settings in bottom right corner. -scroll down to Controllers and click on it. -Choose Eisy... you will then be prompted with the choice to Synchronize, Choose yes. -After it's complete, it will ask you if you want to delete old data.. say yes. It should show up after that. In regards to the parameters, in the Admin Console, go to the switch and see if there is an "arrow" to the left that you can click on to EXPAND the elements of the z-wave device. You would find the parameters there. If there is no arrow, then right click on the z-wave device and then zwave / synchronize / update with interview as shown below. That should bring in all the parameters.
  8. If you open up PGX adn the Plug in for the elk and go to the NODES tab... for each device, the system code you need will be on the right. There is "copy" icon. If you click on that icon, it will copy the correct format you need for the plugin's zones and status. You will need to update each line in your custom notification to display the correct "address" to the new nodes. The zones/devices you are using above are part of the old / discontinued module, vs the new Plug-in nodes.
  9. Its still a good idea to regularly to the backups that were suggested, so that if your unit someday dies, you have them all ready to go.
  10. @srjacob Be sure to to open up the ELK desktop program and get all your "connection" information copied, such as ip address, passwords, and settings in the Elk MEXP module. This will be needed to populate the config files in the Elk Plug in. By the way , the elk plug in works really well. Have not had any issues with it, but it does require rewriting most of your elk programs. Some of them you can do a find / replace in. Key as mentioned above is to right click on the top of your program hierarchy and click copy folder to clipboard and then past it into a text application. This way you can easily see what the original program was meant to be. If you use Resources, it's good to also export a copy of that as well.
  11. dbwarner5 replied to teverk's topic in eisy
    @teverk am not sure why you are looking for a 3 way switch. Any normal Insteon switch can be wired and configured to work as a 3 way. Insteon has dimmer and on/off switches available. https://www.insteon.com/wall-switches
  12. UPDATE: @Panda88 So this time, I Stopped the PI... did the update and got this: But then when I hit START... it reverted back to 1.2.5:
  13. Having hte same issue.. Everything appears to go thru the update process: asks for slot, asks to update. Plugin restarts, etc, but version stays on 1.2.5. thanks. attached is log set to info YoLink_11-18-2024_111432_AM.zip
  14. Found it. Was able to "install" right over top of the old one so did not have to recreate names or configuration. Working. thanks!
  15. FYI.. Just tried to update vis UDM / settings / plugins and getting ERROR, invalid node server. Hit the update button directly on PGX.. goes to a blank screen. Went to purchases.. not showing up Went to non production store, not showing up Went to production store, not showing up. thanks.
  16. Would th number of lines also have an impact? All the programs should have the same number of lines, even if that means adding another $test_X = 0 at the top. This would be to test if both programs start at the same time in your test 1, but program one has an extra line to process and hence turns the test_2 to 0.
  17. @Jimbo.Automates Worked!!! Shows and operates as expected again! Thanks!
  18. I dont think it is that important. Just something I had to figure out.
  19. Ok.. that makes more sense then now.. Your motion sensor could be turning off, which would also stop the program, and then back on, restarting the program. How do you have that set up?
  20. @smorgasbord Try making your if statement Bathroom Motion-Sensor' is switched On And $RecirRanRecently is 0 And then eliminate the first line in your THEN. As you have it written, when it hits the first WAIT, the IF is re-evaluated. Since you just changed the variable to a 1, it fails the IF and turns False, stopping the program.
  21. If your goal is to have Program 2 run "in the middle" of program 1, you can put a wait in program one, right after the "call" for a length of time you need for program 2 to complete. Just be aware that program 2 can NOT change the If state of program one in any way, or program one will either start over or run false etc, as it will be re-evaluated at the WAIT.
  22. Solved it! thanks!
  23. There have been some recent posts that hit upon the capacity limitations of the existing Insteon PLM. As Insteon's new ownership seems to be doing "all the right things" to improve the company, I havent heard about any improvement plans for the weakest link in my home automation system; the insteon PLM. So I wrote this to the company: I have been an Insteon user for over 15 years. I use universal devices controllers. The WEAKEST link in my very sophisticated and LARGE system is your PLM.. In this day and age with memory so cheap, why does it still have a 1000 count link table limitation? I have to work around this constantly. I have 254 Insteon devices, 96 scenes , 1000 programs, 656 nodes, 200 variables etc.. BUT I have at least 20 scenes I CANT use because of this 20 yr old limitation in the PLM design. In your new ownership, you could quickly sell so many replacement PLMs if you increased its capacity. And received this positive response: Hi, Thanks for the note! We are aware that this limitation exists and are actively looking at solutions. Stay tuned.... Thank you, Brent Carter Insteon Support Lets hope this weak link gets a massive upgrade sometime soon!! cheers.
  24. Two other options: 1). A long IF with ALL the lights you have in that scene separated by ORs, that if switched off (during the time period you want ), then maybe wait 30 seconds and then turn the scene back on. example: IF From 9pm until 6am next day AND ( Light A is switched off or Light B is switched off of light c is switched off ) THEN wait 30 seconds,. turn scene "nighttime" on Or 2) Just turn that scene on every 10 minutes during the duration you want it on, so it will "self correct" w/o any monitoring needed. example: IF From 9pm until 6am THEN repeat every 10 minutes Turn "nighttime" scene on. The advantage of this technique is that you can have in your scene all the other lights that you want off to turn off as well, again w/o monitoring I have use both techniques above for different scenarios. For my Bedtime scene. I probably have 30 lights included in it so I use the "every 10 minutes" technique but I think I use 20 minutes so that if someone goes out to the kitchen and turns a light on to see they have in theory anywhere from 0-20 minutes that the light will stay on, and then it goes off. Not always ideal, but it works w.o monitoring all 30 lights as to which are turned on, which are turned off etc.
