Thanks for the info! I was able to set up a single fan variable and then use the spoken "set to X percent" to set the variable. Behind the scenes in the ISY, I have a state variable that sets the Fan speed to off, low, med, high. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has anyone gotten Google home to work win the FanLinc or Thermostat???

Looks like the answer to #2 is No. Mobilinc can be set up with the ISY portal. I would still like a confirmation on #1.

I'm considering purchasing a Google Home and when I read up on how to get it connected, it looks like I need to purchase and install the ISY Portal. I currently do not use this, nor Mobilinc Connect. Instead, I have everything forwarded through my router. I do use Mobilinc on my phone. I just have the app pointed directly at the ISY. 1. If I purchase the Google Home, is my only option to purchase the ISY Portal to get it integrated with my ISY? 2. Do I still need to leave my port forwarding set up in place so that I can connect my mobilinc app to my ISY or is there some way to run this through the ISY Portal. Thanks in advance, Rob

Thank you so much for posting this info. I purchased the Greenfield clamp on valve and couldn't be happier. I ended up connecting the purple wire to the Sense input of the i/o Linc. This keeps the relay and the sensor in the same on/off status. So when the relay turns the shut-off valve ON, the status reports ON. Attached is a picture of my i/o Linc wiring and the clamp on valve. Thanks again! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So are you saying that in order for MobiLinc to properly update the ISY with location information, you simply need to leave the app open in iOS? So in iOS7, never double tab the home button and swipe up to close the app? If that's true (I still need to test it), then it's not that big of a deal. Just need to tell my wife not to manually close the app...

I am having the exact same problem. My iPhone is a 5 and my wife's is a 4S. Other than that everything that was described by jonnyauto is happening to me. I'm not sure if makes a difference, but the MobiLinc app on my phone and her phone or both purchased using my Apple ID. I was too cheap to pay another five dollars just for to put on her phone, which I know she doesn't any use for anything other then setting location variables. It was working perfectly for sometime then it just stopped. Not sure if it was due to iOS upgrade or something else. It's very frustrating. I tried all the same things that jonnyauto has tried. I did make sure that the app had exes to location settings on the iPhone. I also make sure that it had access to background refreshing. I'm not sure what else I can check. Does anybody have any other additional ideas or troubleshooting steps?

I've had a MorningLinc transmitter and two Morning Industry deadbolt locks for a little under one year. Everything has been working really well and I have not had a single issue .... Till now. Within the last month or so, every time we would manually lock our lock via the keypad, it would beep very rapidly. I assumed It was some sort of low battery indication it something. There really is no way to know, as Morning Industry has zero documentation. About 1-2 months later, the locks (we have two linked to a single MorningLinc) stopped working. When we pushed the lock button, it would beep three times, and wouldn't lock the door. Non of the unlock codes worked, etc. I tried swapping out the batteries on the lock. Nothing. Eventually my attention gravitated towards the MotningLinc. I unplugged it and noticed the led wasn't working at all. I tried a factory reset, but it did nothing. The led, doesn't work at all. I ended up calling Morning Industry (locks) customer support, who was able to help reset the locks. They now work, without the MorningLinc linked to them. The customer service rep from Morning said that the MorningLinc was the problem and that they've had a lot of calls about this issue. I'm curious if anyone else on the forum has had a bad MorningLinc or one that worked and then just stopped working? If so, do you know the root cause / how to fix? I still have yet to see if SmartHome offers any type of warranty on their stuff. Thanks in advance for any replies.

I would be thrilled to see examples of your programs - this is a project that I need to work on as well. I already have a Insteon Doorbell and Telephone Ring Kit with the I/O Linc sitting here in a box waiting for me to get the time to put it all together. Your 'Flip' program is exactly what I am looking for - I have a few select lights that I would like to flash - basement utility room, laundry, table lamp and shower light. I am thinking of having it maybe double flash on door bell and triple flash on telephone ring - something like that. Thanks, Dwight Dwight - I will try to post some program examples this weekend for you to take a look at. Dwight - I'll do my best to summarize the programs I have in place to do the "flipping" of the lights in my house. There may be a more efficient way of doing this, but I'm not a computer programmer and this is what I've come up with. It does work . 1. First thing I did was create an integer variable to store the devices state. For example: iKitchenBreakfastBarStatus. 2. Next, I created a program that sets this state variable to either 1 or 0, depending on whether the device's status was On or Off. To accommodate devices that may not be at 100%, I wrote the program to see if the status is greater than 1%. If you wanted to, you could create additional programs to store more specific levels of brightness/dim. I made a folder called 'States' to store all of these 'State' programs for each device. Sample program: *** If Status 'Lights / Kitchen / KitchenBreakfastBar' > 1% Then $iKitchenBreakfastBarStatus = 1 Else $iKitchenBreakfastBarStatus = 0 *** 3. Now that I have the current state of the device stored in an integer variable, I wrote the "Flip" program below, which, when called, does the flashing of the device: *** If $iKitchenBreakfastBarStatus is 0 Then Set 'Lights / Kitchen / KitchenBreakfastBar' Fast On Set 'Lights / Kitchen / KitchenBreakfastBar' Fast Off Set 'Lights / Kitchen / KitchenBreakfastBar' Fast On Set 'Lights / Kitchen / KitchenBreakfastBar' Fast Off Else Set 'Lights / Kitchen / KitchenBreakfastBar' Fast Off Set 'Lights / Kitchen / KitchenBreakfastBar' Fast On Set 'Lights / Kitchen / KitchenBreakfastBar' Fast Off Set 'Lights / Kitchen / KitchenBreakfastBar' Fast On *** The above program will cause the device to flash on and off, or off and on, based upon it's current state, making sure to return the device to the state it was in before running the program. I have one of these "Flip" programs for each of my devices and I keep them in a single "Flip" folder. 4. Finally, I have a single "FLIP" program that will run based up the trigger of my choice (doorbell rings). It simply calls all of the "Flip" programs for each device (from step 3). Right now, I have the trigger set to a motion sensor on my front porch. The end plan is to have the trigger ('If' statement) of the program, be someone ringing my doorbell. *** If Status 'Motion Sensors / FrontPorchMotionSensor-Sensor' is On Then Run Program 'StairHallwayUpperFlip' (If) Run Program 'BasementMain1Flip' (If) Run Program 'KitchenBreakfastBarFlip' (If) Run Program 'BasementSconceFlip' (If) Run Program 'KitchenMain2Flip' (If) Run Program 'MasterBedroomLampFlip' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') *** Summary: As I mentioned above, there may be a more elegant way to do this, but this seems to work. One caveat is that all the lights that are part of this 'Flip' do not turn off/on at the same time. There is a delay from when each program is run from the main 'FLIP' program. So the experience is that one light starts to flash, then a second later the next, and so on. It's not ideal, but it does meet the requirement of a silent alert. I hope this helps you implement something similar with your ISY system!

Thanks Brian H! I did trace my wiring back down to by basement and it's 24v AC. I will definitely need something easy to connect, as I would not be able to solder anything. I do have male/female flat crimping terminals. Thanks!

Is there an all in one 24v AC relay that I should be using? Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm obviously not an electrical engineer. Nothing is jumping out at me when I search for them online (except for the incorrect ELK-912B). Thanks in advance for help and continued comments!

Thanks LeeG, I think this is exactly what I needed to know. I've picked up one of these relays and hopefully this will all work, assuming I didn't fry the Triggerlinc in my previously failed attempt... Here's what I ordered: http://www.amazon.com/ELK-PRODUCTS-ELK9 ... B004HNB4ZQ

I've just really starting to learn all the nitty gritty things about the ISY and my Insteon 994. I've got a 994i and number Insteon Switchlincs, Motion Sensors, and TriggerLincs installed in our home. One of the things I've been really hoping to get up and running is a doorbell / lights flash setup. Here's the workflow: Someone comes to our front door while we are downstairs in the basement. They ring the doorbell, but, being in the basement, we can't hear it. However, I've got some sort of trigger hooked up to my doorbell and when that trigger is fired, in addition to the existing doorbell mechanism making the "ding-dong" sound, all the lights in our entire house flip/flash to the opposite state than what they were in and then back to the state they were in, twice. I've already written the "Flip" program, where I store the state of each light in a variable to return it to the state it was in. That part works great. However, I need something to trigger the doorbell being pushed. I'm aware that I might be able to use the Insteon Doorbell and Telephone Ring Kit with the I/O Linc. However, I really don't have an outlet to plug the I/O Linc into, without running a wire across the hallway. What I'm really interested in doing is using a TriggerLinc to be the trigger. I know the TriggerLincs have external contacts where you can wire in your own magnetic switch (I think). If I could somehow use this device, it would communicate wirelessly with my ISY and I would not have any dangling wires running across the hallway. I actually tried connecting the wires from the external switch on my Triggerlinc to the existing doorbell mechanism (at the terminals on the sound box). When the doorbell was pressed, the Triggerlinc switched from Off/On, but then it just stayed off. The only way I could get it to work again was to press the set button. Does anyone know if its possible to augment your existing doorbell and make it an Insteon trigger using the Triggerlinc? Are the other options that I haven't considered that might work for my situation? Is anyone else doing this with their doorbell? Thanks in advance for any comments/replies!!
