IndyMike or Michael, What is the recommended poling frequency when using the new irrigation module? How sensitive are the calculations to poling frequency? BTW, looking forward to watching the new calculations. I'll have to remove all the fudge factors in my irrigation programs though Thanks, Mark

Michael, First off, thanks for your time working on solving this. I still am not sure why the initial problem came about but I did figure out why my reset variables might not have been working. I had a variable condition to control the running of programs in my irrigation folder. I am pretty sure I always had it set to run but now I am not 100% sure. I deleted that variable and then noticed that the folder was looking for a non-existing variable to check the run status. I deleted that folder condition and now it has reset. Might I offer a suggestion for a future release. When manually running a program the folder condition check should either be ignored or a warning message should display showing that the programs in the folder are not active. I would think that they should run just as you can manually run a disabled program I think that you should be able to manually run programs in folders regardless of the folder conditions. At the very least a warning message would help the user figure out what is going on. Anyway, thanks again. Mark

Upgraded. Ran Irrigation - Reset Variables. No change. Even added Reset Variables to both Then and Else for kicks and tried both run-then and run-else and run-if. Darn variable won't reset. Firmware Insteon_UD994 v.4.0.3 (2013-04-08-08:08:24) UI Insteon_UD994 v.4.0.3 (2013-04-08-08:08:24) Irrigation/ETo Module (23000) Irrigation Requirement --214748.352 inches All other weatherbug info is fine.

Everything is accurate in the climate tab (and has been the whole time) except for the irrigation requirement. All my weatherbug temps have been fine. I use them regularly for my thermostat programs and they are working great. Firmware and UI versions are in first post but are 3.3.10 for both. Insteon_UD994 v.3.3.10 (2013-01-17-01:13:50). Product is ISy994i/IR Pro

Noticed one more thing in my error logs during a restart. Apparently the isy can't read the insteng.opt file. Could this be the problem and what is the fix?

Yes I am using Run Then. I have also tried Run If (but if is blank so it should be the same). I have tried writing a new program with the same then statement in case the old one is somehow wonky but same results. Re: static ip. I use port forwarding via ssh to access my isy. I don't really feel 100% comfortable with exposing it's port to the net. I'll look into the DNS issue. However the weather bug data seems to refresh nicely and all the temp values are correct. It's just the darn irrigation requirement. Mark

Not sure what you mean by resetting the init value and then the real value. The only options to manipulate the irrigation module are to set the cycle complete and reset variables. As previously mentioned, using the reset variables is having no effect. I can use the module variables in programs but obviously my irrigation program won't work since my irrigation requirement is not accurate (and being very negative will not trigger my programs anyway).

However, my status looks good other than the Irrigation Requirement: Temperature 51.7 F High Temperature 52 F Low Temperature 42 F Feels Like 52 F Temperature Rate 7.5 F/h Humidity 43 % Humidity Rate -12 %/h Pressure 30.24 inches Pressure Rate 0.01 inches/h Dew Point 29 F Wind Speed 1 mph Average Wind Speed 1 mph Wind Direction S Average Wind Direction S Gust Speed 7 mph Gust Direction SW Rain Today 0 inches Rain Rate 0 inches/h Max Rain Rate 0 inches/h Light 8.2 % Light Rate 1.1 %/h Evapotranspiration 0.0809 inches/day Irrigation Requirement --214748.352 inches Yesterday's Water Deficit 0.0809 inches

Not sure if it is related but I just noticed all these errors in my error log.

Hello, I am having the --214748.352 inches Irrigation Requirement problem that I have seen others mention in the past. I am unable to solve it with an "Irrigation - Reset Variables" operation. I have edited the program, written a new program and run the reset many times but the Irrigation Requirement stays at this odd number. Perhaps this is due to the fact that my irrigation program ran all winter (without the actual irrigation connected obviously). Don't need to start irrigating yet but it is coming up soon and I'd like to get this fixed.

Any info on changes to the irrigation and/or weather bug modules? I am using fudge factors to chase an overly high ETo calculation. I followed the thread on the ETo calculations which mentioned possible future changes but can't see anything in the change log thread to suggest anything. I did notice your post about the 1/10 to 1/100 sensitivity change in rain today though so I am wondering if anything else has changed. Thanks, Mark Alston

Hi, I am having an issue with the appliancelinc and outletlinc devices and am wondering if there is a solution. Both devices are leaking very slight amounts of current when in the off position. The current leak is enough to make my son's star projector to briefly flash on every 1.5 seconds or so when the outlets are switched off. I first tried the appliance linc and then replaced with an in wall outlet to the same effect. Any solution or am I just not going to be able to use insteon for this device? Thanks, Mark Alston

Hi all, New member and loving my ISY. One thing I couldn't find in any searches of the forum was how to make a "safety" for all off scenes. I love being able to turn off all the lights (or groups of lights) with a single switch but we have already had problems with accidentally turning off the lights on people when not desired. Here is my solution. Perhaps there are better solutions. The following program only enables the all off scene if the button is pressed three times within 2 seconds. The switches are set to toggle-off mode. Hopefully this will help someone else out or maybe someone can suggest an even cleaner way to accomplish this. All Off Button Click If Control 'Main Level / Front Entry Controller - D' is switched Off Or Control 'Basement / Garage Entry Controller - D' is switched Off Then Run Program 'All Off Check' (If) Wait 2 seconds $i.AllOff.Check = 0 Run Program 'All Lights update LED' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') All Off Check (Important to uncheck Enabled to prevent running arbitrarily) If $i.AllOff.Check >= 2 Then Set Scene 'Lights Off Scenes / All Off' On $i.AllOff.Check = 0 Else $i.AllOff.Check += 1 All Lights Update LED If Program 'Any Lights On' is True Then Wait 2 seconds Set Scene 'LED Control Scenes / Any Lights On LED' On Else Wait 7 seconds Set Scene 'LED Control Scenes / Any Lights On LED' Off Any Lights On (Note that I have sleep timer programs for my kids room, this program says their lights are on only if their lights are on and the sleep timer is not set) If Status 'Upstairs / Bedroom Hallway East' is not Off Or Status 'Upstairs / Bedroom Hallway West' is not Off Or ( Status 'Upstairs / East Bedroom' is not Off And $s.Sleep.EastBR is 0 ) Or ( Status 'Upstairs / West Bedroom' is not Off And $s.Sleep.WestBR is 0 ) Or Status 'Upstairs / Upstairs Bathroom' is not Off Or Status 'Upstairs / Master Bedroom' is not Off Or Status 'Upstairs / Master Shower' is not Off Or Status 'Upstairs / Master Sink' is not Off Or Status 'Upstairs / Master Bath Heat Lamp' is not Off Or Status 'Main Level / Back Door' is not Off Or Status 'Basement / Basement Bedroom' is not Off Or Status 'Main Level / Dining Room' is not Off Or Status 'Main Level / Living Room Fireplace' is not Off Or Status 'Main Level / Entry Light' is not Off Or Status 'Main Level / Front Entry Controller' is not Off Or Status 'Main Level / Front Porch' is not Off Or Status 'Basement / Garage Entry Controller' is not Off Or Status 'Basement / N. Bsmt Hall' is not Off Or Status 'Basement / S. Bsmt Hall' is not Off Or Status 'Main Level / patio door' is not Off Or Status 'Main Level / Kitchen / Kitchen Bar' is not Off Or Status 'Main Level / Kitchen / Kitchen' is not Off Or Status 'Main Level / Kitchen / Kitchen Counter' is not Off Or Status 'Main Level / Kitchen / Kitchen Fireplace' is not Off Then - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Regards, Mark
