I'm in the same boat. -5 GMT offset doesn't work with the 40 lat 80 long settings. There must be a lot of people with the same problem who are just using the closest city on the programmed list and not the custom setting.

Thanks, i changed the private ip address, and all appears to be ok.

This i what i've tried to put in. I've also tried -80.3 for longitude with no luck. 42.8 is acceptable. I guess i'll have to contact udi support.

For those who have setup port forwarding for mobilinc, i could use some help. I'm missing something. I think the IPV4 address in DHCP reservations may be wrong, and/or the private ip address in the port mapping is wrong. The http address i got from console is 10.0.1.46. The private ip address in port mapping is the default, and i think i have to change that to 46 from 201. I have no idea what to put in the IPv4 address in the DHCP reservations section. I have the isy address to put into mobilinc when i get this figured out. Thanks again for the help. Brad

What is the difference between the HD version and the PRO? I only have an iphone, no ipad. From what i can find, it's the UI and nothing else. I don't want to purchase the wrong one. Never mind, found it. The pro will do just fine, and $30 cheaper.

I'm running the latest 3.2.6

I know, weird. I can only get the lat. 42.8 to be accepted. It will not accept any Long. setting. It still seems to work ok. The sunset time is now 8:35.05 which seems close to the actual which is 8:39. When i click on any of the preset cities, only the lat. is displayed. Is this why it only accepts a Lat. setting? Maybe there is a bug in my software. Brad

Tried that. I get invalid Latitude error. I then put in 42.8 only, and it's ok. For some reason it won't accept any additional input.

I have the Lat and Long, but whenever i try to put them in i get invalid Lat or invalid Long error I've tried the locate me button, but it doesn't respond. My Lat is 42.83576 , Long -80.30684. I am able to put in 42.8 as an acceptable input, but anything else and i get errors. I'm sure it's just the format that i'm using to put in the numbers. An example would be a great help. I've tried 42.83576, -80.30684 to no avail. Thanks for the help. Brad Miller

What is the correct format for entering the Lat. and Long in the custom config. settings on the isy. Mine is 42.5 and 80.16. I've tried entering these in a multitude of different ways. The only thing that has been acceptable is 42.5. I'm not sure of the format for entering both. Nothing has worked at this point. Thanks Brad Miller

Thanks Lee. I'll get used to the extra toggle for now. I'll look into the toggle program for the RL2. Brad

I have my KPL and Remotelinc controling the same lights. Button A and B on both contolling the same lights. The only problem is it doesn't quite work like a 3-way switch. If the light is on and you use the other device to turn it off, i may have to hit the button twice. I'm sure there is a porogram to make the KPL and Remotelinc act like a 3-way electrical circuit. Right now i have if KPL button A is on Then turn Living room light on else turn living room light off. Same for the remotelinc. It seems to be working ok. I can turn the light on and off from either device ok. It's when i use one device to turn it on and then another device to turn it off. Oh so close, but yet so far. Thanks Brad

If i write a program with a keypadlinc button under " if ", is there any other manual linking to be done. I want to use an unused keypadlinc button -C to set two lights on /off with random off times. I expect writing this code negates the manual set button on the keypadlinc, and running around pressing the set button on each device. Once i get my filterlinc's this week, i can instal these 2 devices and set them up with the keypadlinc. Right now if have 2 lights set up to come on everyday at dusk, and off a a random time in the evening. I have a manual bypass with a keypadlinc and remotelinc. These are 2 lights used everyday, so they have the manual control also. I want to set up 2 more with a keypadlinc button to turn them on, on the way out the door, and have 4 lights running as a vacation mode. Brad

Lee , i just found this from insteon, and it seems quite easy. I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but i create a folder with the vacation devices in it, and select the keypad linc button to use which in this case is A relabeled vacation. Is there any linking procedure for the KPL button, or is it done from this program?

Currently i've added only one outletlinc, and one switchlinc to my keypad and remote. I have others to add, but i am going slowly to make sure everything works. I would like to create a scene where a button on the keypadlinc which will be the controller, will actuate a program, so when we are away, a group of lights will come on and off at the set times. Question. When existing lights and new lights to be installed are put into the scene, will they only run at the activation of a scene button? At this point i have 2 lights coming on at sunset and off at the variable time around 10:30. When these are put in the scene, will they only run when the associated scene button is pressed. This way i can set up a few lights and activate the program with one button press on the way out the door.

In this case i want the lights to run at the scheduled times, and if the light is already on for some reason, i assume the program will run and keep it on. If it is shut off by the keypadlinc, or remotelinc before the scheduled off time, then i assume it will stay off. The wait and random time line i want to add reads to me like it will always be 10:30 -10:40 random shutoff times. Is there a way to set the random aspect + or - around the 10:30 mark, or do you just right it as say normal shutoff at 10:20, and then add the wait and random line for 20 minutes, so in the end the light shuts off randomly between 10:20 and 10:40. That seems easy enough, but i gather there is more than one way to do this.

Lee, i set the timers as you suggested as a trial and it worked great. I've since set up 2 lights to come on at sunset, and turn off at a preset time. I'd like to have a random off time for the times we aren't home. i believe i use the wait time with random box checked. Does it go in the else section after the command to shut the light off?

I'm starting to get around the logic. It reminds me of the old binary logic that the telephone switchgear used when i worked for Bell many years ago. If the if is true then the then happens. If the if is false then the else triggers. One's and zero's. I understand why the initial staemnet didn't work. There was no trigger to turn it off. I assumed it would automatically turn off after 5 minutes, but as you say it needs to be told to do it. Once i get a few of these simple programs working, i'll move on to more complex programs. Thanks again.

Thanks. I thought of that, but i was hoping the from and to schedule would do the trick. If i need a second program to turn it off then i'm not sure what that is for. I need some examples to give me a better idea. Brad

I'm new to this programing thing and need direction. I'm just trying to set a basic timer for a light. I have a timer set up and the light turns on, but not off. I thought it might be the cfl bulb, so i took it out and set the timer again, but the same result with no bulb in the lamp. I'm sure this is an easy fix, and once i get the hang of it, i'm sure it will be easy. I've attached a screen capture. I can toggle it off from the console ok with or without the cfl bulb installed, so i am sure it is just a programing problem. Thanks for the help. Brad
