That still sounds like an ideal solution. When is the 5.x release expected?

Thanks. I'm not sure where that duplicate post came from, I can't seem to delete it. So does this mean I need to remove all "controllers" from my scene, and create a new program that's basically and "if controller 1 set to on else if controller 2 set to on else if...", and that program then triggers the insteon scene and sends the hue network resource as well?

I just added some Hue lamps to my existing Insteon/ISY-994i setup. My most common scene is called "Ambient". I trigger this using many devices: 2 different Keypad Linc's, my iPhone/iPad, Alexa, etc. I followed the directions to add in a networking resource for my new Hue lights. I now have an "on" networking resource and "off" networking resource that successfully turns the Hue's on and off as a group (I just want them to turn back on to whatever last setting I had, and this seems to work great). Now... I want to tie the Hue's into the "ambient" scene. I can't quite figure out this step. The directions on the Wiki suggest a program that monitors the scene state... but I see no such option in the programming interface. I can trigger the program off of a device state, but not scene state. Is there a way to do this? I was thinking of a variable, is there a way to set a variable when a scene is triggered?

I just replaced my PLM as well, and noticed that my scenes aren't working either. I did a "Restore PLM", but when I trigger a scene in the admin console, nothing! I can control individual devices just fine. I don't see any exclamation points or 0101 next to any of my devices either.

Strange, I left everything unplugged when leaving for work today. I came home, plugged in the PLM. I see the "LED" isn't lighting up, so I think it is probably dead. I powered up the ISY-99i, and it's back alive. I can get into the admin console, but indeed, it says it can't connect to the PLM. I guess I'll order a new PLM.

I noticed last night that my MobileLinc app could connect to my ISY-99i, and send/receive commands, but I couldn't actually change any of my Insteon scenes - nothing would happen. I opened the ISY-99i admin panel, and I was able to log in just fine, but the same thing for changing Insteon scenes/devices - If I change one, nothing actually happens. So, I figured something could be wrong with the PLM. I disconnected power to my PLM as well as the ISY-99i, waited 30 seconds or so, plugged in the PLM and then the ISY-99i. I'm now in a state where I can ping the IP of the ISY-99i just fine, but can't connect to the web interface at all. What do I do now?

I have a couple of motion detectors which send me e-mail notifications when motion is detected. It works great! I also have a cat, so I expect to see some motion messages once in a while. Often, however, I'll get like 10 messages when kitty decides to walk around and get some food. Is there a way to throttle how many messages are sent within a period of time? Or better yet, can you actually get the motion sensors adjust to be insensitive to an 8 pound kitty?

Ha I think I answered my own question... I never noticed mobilelinks location feature before.

Yeah, I'll have to experiment. I have my motion sensors setup to trigger text and email notifications. Usually when I get home I used my cell phone and mobilelync to run an "I'm home" program. I could tie into that. I'm curious as to your cell phone location implementation... Something trigger from my cell phone present on my wifi would be neat.

That works fine. So I assume when the 2 hours "for" time expires, the ISY triggers another event and runs the program again, this time evaluating the else? Now what if that lamp is part of another scene, I want that lamp to come on if I am not home, stay on for two hours, then turn off. That's working great. However, if I am at home, and am running one of my usual lighting scenes, and that lamp is on as part of that scene, I really don't want it turning off randomnly in two hours. There doesn't appear to be an "else if"... how could I accomplish this? Or, should I set a condition in the upper folder, would that catch the second event and not run the "off" event?

I set up a simple program to turn a light on daily to appear as though someone is home. I set the If from 5:30 pm for 2 hours then The light comes on, but after 2 hours it doesn't turn off. I'm a bit confused at to the logic here. Would turn light off go in the else?

I have two motion sensors, and they are set up to send my cell a text message if they detect motion between certain programmed hours. This works great, but as you can imagine, there are days where I need to be home and such, and the texts get annoying very very quickly. I'm curious as to how others have solved this. I obviously don't want a physical control sitting around that you can press a button and set a flag on the ISY to disable the motion program. I can create a program in the ISY that I trigger from MobileLync. But then I need to remember to reset it for the next day. Any suggestions?

That all makes sense. The wait's seem to have fixed setting the buttons correctly.

I have an update (already!). I added in a 5 second wait to all of these programs, and things seem to be working perfectly now. Is this normal? It's no big deal as long as the "state" lands where it should be.
