Hey guys, Thanks for both the replies. Apologies for the late reply. The factory restore from Isy was easy and it fixed it! Steve

Hi, I have two 2476Ds controlling a light on a 3 way circuit. I have them both as controllers in a group. One of them works as expected, but the other when pressed On, goes to maybe 10%. If i double tap it for fast on, it goes to 100% and nothing in between. Any thoughts? I have tried removing the faulty switch from the scene and re-adding it, but no luck. Thanks, Steve

Just http. It's weird, I'm having to restart daily to get scheduled events to work. Steve

It'll spin for a good 3-5 minutes until the screen will load, let alone execute any commands. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions as to why this would happen. I'm sitting behind an ok connection speed (23mb down/5 up), and most of my other services respond well to external requests (webcams, servers, etc). Any configs that I would need to do to my router? I'm running an Asus RT-N66U which is fairly robust. Thanks, Steve

Yup, that worked. Thanks! Steve

I attached a screenshot of my Summary page from my Admin Console. I was wondering why my programs were not running today and I noticed that the ones scheduled for this evening were all scheduled to run in 2029! The last time they were run successfully was yesterday. A glance at the logs showed no errors. I recently upgraded to 3.3.3. Any thoughts? Steve

Thanks Brian. Once captured what would you use to broadcast the RF? According to the mfg, it uses a 315mhz RF frequency. Steve

Steve, Brian- I think there is a device called the RedEye which can learn IR commands from an existing remote and be commanded to send said commands via a network call. I have been thinking about picking one of these up for control of my non-networked A/V gear. Also allows use of iDevices and Android devices as remotes I believe. This of course would require the network module for the ISY and offers NO feedback to the ISY as to the current status of the end device. -Xathros Edit: Here is a link: http://thinkflood.com/products/redeye/ Thanks Xathros, Unfortunately, the remote is RF and not line-of-sight IR. RedEye sounds like a great AV solution. Steve

Thanks Greg. Unfortunately, my fireplace doesn't have a hardwired thermostat. It only has two modes: switch controlled on or electronic remote controlled (which has a thermostat on it). I'm guessing this makes it complicated since I can could theoretically capture the RF, but not have a safety of a thermostat to control the temp. In an ideal situation, it would be tied into some generic temp sensor to control the on/off independent of the remote.

The more and more that I get spoiled by my Insteon integration throughout the house, the more I notice things that are not integrated, such as my RF Remote controlled gas fireplace. I was wondering if anybody knows about how to capture a couple of RF commands from the remote and use Insteon to broadcast it via a program. Could this be a combo of using something plugged into an OutletLinc? Thanks, Steve

Xathros, Found it in another post by Chris Jahn Yes, the variables are available through REST: /rest/vars/set/// -- set the value of a variable /rest/vars/get// -- get the value of a variable 1 - Integer, 2 - State ID of the variable e.g. Set integer variable 3 to 28 /rest/vars/set/1/3/28 viewtopic.php?t=5987 Steve

Thanks Xathros. Do you know the path structure for variables? I could not find it in the wiki. Steve

I was wondering if it was possible to set variables or the content of notifications remotely. Say for example, I wanted to send an alert to an Elk keypad and I have the Network Module ping a page for data. Is there a way to get that data into the system via REST or the Network module? Been scouring the forums and haven't seen anything about it. Steve

Michael, Awesome!! That did the trick. Steve

Bump. Has anybody had any success using the Elk temp variables?

I'm running the KP2s, so no keypad temp for me unfortunately.

I do see the thermostat with correct temperature values. The ID for the RCS thermostat is 1. I tried other variations of 0 and 2 just in case the index started at 0 or something funky with no luck. I also tried other variables like "tstat.1.name" and it was blank as well. Steve

I have the weatherbug temp coming through to the keypads fine. It's the internal temp via Elk and RCS thermostat that is returning blank via the variable In:${elk.tstat.1.ST} Out:${mod.weather.temp.current} And yep, I'm constantly saving before testing my programs. Steve

Michael, Is this a bug that I should submit a ticket for? Thanks, Steve

Yes, completely blank.

Chris, Thanks! That seems like it should have done the trick, but I am getting blank values when trying to grab the temp with the following (trying to get indoor/outdoor temp to display): ${elk.tstat.1.ST}/${mod.weather.temp.current}

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to read the internal temp that is art of an ELK/RCS setup. I can see the internal temp in the ISY config and adjust set points from the isy actions, but cannot seem to read the temp as a variable that i can put in a text message or notification. Thanks, Steve

Thanks again Lee. I dug up the original armored sensor and installed it per your recommendation. Worked like a charm. Another great eye-opening learning bullet point. Steve

Thanks everyone for clearing that up! My garage door sensor isn't the armored one, just a standard 2 wire magnetic sensor. Is there a way to flip it so that I don't have to do Trigger Reverse (I have it connected to three keypads as a sensor indicating if the door is open). Now the light stays on with all the keypads unless I check Toggle Reverse. Steve

After a bit of debugging, I noticed that I would get alerts stating that my garage door was open after 3AM and linked the problem to when the QueryAll program was being run. Any ideas why it does that. Also, what's the purpose of the QueryAll? Do I need to run it daily? Steve
