isyrocks!

Recently my phrase "Turn on show for XXXX" and Turn on kids show" stopped working. My guess is Amazon came out with an update and I can no longer use "show" in a command. Is there a good list of reserved words/phrases out there? Thanks in advance.

"The House" as opposed to I.S.Y.

Is anyone else having a problem with the isy plugin not responding or timing out after a period of time. This seems to happen to me from time to time and I have to restart Eventghost to fix the issue. Here is a post I put on the EG forum where I am trying to find a work around: http://www.eventghost.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6176

Here is how I am doing it: I create a program. Every program get's a unique number. The program contents is empty. I then run the program by right clicking on it and choosing run and then I get the corresponding event in EG. You can also look up the unique numbers in the summary page on the ISY. Then I just make respective calls to the program when I want to trigger something in EG. Seems to be working great so far. Not sure how others are doing things.

I have easily discovered ways for my ISY to call Eventghost Macros. What I have not been able to figure out is how to have Eventghost call an ISY program. Could you point me in the right direction? Can I execute the runThen section of an ISY program by using the "Send Manual Command" function? What would I put under control/action/flag/node? Thanks in advance.

I was originally going to go the Apache way. However, my web programming is pretty limited and I didn't know how to call batch files via web pages. The Eventghost way is working perfectly! I just got it setup and running last night. I am very happy with it. The isyplugin that someone wrote works great.

Absolutely loving this program. Thankyou Thankyou for the the plugin. Security Question: How secure is my ISY password which is stored inside of EventGhost ISY Plugin Config? Is it now stored in plain text somewhere on my computer? Just wondering if I need to take any further precautions. Thanks in advance.

Cool someone has written an eventghost plugin for the ISY. I will try this route: https://www.forum.universal-devices.com ... 4&start=30

Fantastic. Let me take a look. Great suggestion.

Interesting idea. I could certainly go the Eventghost route if I want to add and IR module to my machine. I already have an Insteon IR blaster nearby my computer. I stumbled across this. I think I might give this a try first. http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/2 ... -computer/

I use the Blue Iris software for IP Camera Video Surveillance. Blue Iris has different profiles. I would like to change the profiles based on whether or not anyone is home. They have a some commands that I will use to build a script to change the Blue Iris profile via a script.(http://www.cam-it.org/index.php?topic=2687.msg10929#msg10929) I would like to figure out how I can execute the script on the Windows box via the ISY. Any suggestions? I do have the networking module.

Thanks so much. I am loving the program's. They have been working great. I made the wait adjustment to the "003 Loop" as you suggested. Thanks for the tip on setting status for the other KL's.

I think I figured it out. I have to run a few more tests. I had 1 line wrong in the 003 loop program. I corrected the last line from this: Then Set Scene 'Garage / 1car Garage - Status' Off Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Garage / 1car Garage - Status' On Wait 1 second $s.GD1 -= 1 To this: Then Set Scene 'Garage / 1car Garage - Status' Off Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Garage / 1car Garage - Status' On Wait 1 second $s.GD1_Counter -= 1 Quick Question for you: I have a few KPL's that I would like to use to monitor status (Light On when GD is open /Off when closed) but not be able to control (trigger GD). Currently I have the 3 KPL's in the scene with the sensor. If I remove two of the KPL's from the scene what would be a good program to just monitor the status on the KPL without control? Thanks!

Thanks Xathros If Control 'Mud Room / Garage KL (load) / Garage KL (E) 1car Garage' is switched On Or Control 'Mud Room / Garage KL (load) / Garage KL (E) 1car Garage' is switched Off Then Set 'Garage / 1car-OpenClose-Relay' On Wait 5 seconds Set 'Garage / 1car-OpenClose-Relay' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Thanks so much for posting and the great lengths of work you have gone to document everything. I implemented the programs last night and ran into some trouble and have not yet had the time to troubleshoot. When I press my KPL button GD opens and KPL flashes. = Good When I press my KPL button my GD begins to close and after a second or so it opens back up. Then it cycles through opening and attempting to close. I'll have to take a look at the variables at each step to see what might be going on. If you have any ideas right off hand please let me know. I did as you suggested and switched to Momentary B. I think I have a "normally open" setup but not entirely sure. I am pretty sure I did this when setting up my GD Kit: "RED and BLACK wires from the reed switch and NOT the Green wire (NC or Normally Closed reed switch operation)." Thanks

AlanF, You should be able to click on your sensor/relay go to porperties and just check the box that says "trigger reverse" I believe. Yes I know that tip in Mobilinc to switch the icon. The problem is the icon shows closed when the door is open and the icon shows closed with the door is closed. It only show's open while it's opening.

Ok the program method in conjunction with your monitoring program works perfectly. Just one more question. In MobileLinc my favorite Garage Door icon (under programs) only shows open while it's opening. Once the door is open it shows a closed door icon even though the status is being updated correctly with True (Open). Is this the same for you? Thanks so much!

Xathros, thanks for your help that totally makes sense now why I was having inconsistent results when using your programs. My keypadlinc is in toggle mode. The root of my problem is this: -I use the open/close scene as a favorite MobileLinc -If I use a non insteon controller to manipulate garage door i.e. a craftsman remote the relay status get's out of sync. -The scene favortie in MobileLinc shows status based on relay. If relay is open garage door icon shows open. In my isy99i I used two programs to update status: If Control 'Garage / 1car-Sensor' is switched Off Then Set Scene 'Garage / 1car Garage - Open-Close' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') If Control 'Garage / 1car-Sensor' is switched On Then Set Scene 'Garage / 1car Garage - Open-Close' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I have been playing back and forth with adjusting the On levels for the relay in scene. Right now I have the relay set to an on level of 0% (which I believe is how I had it in my 99i when things worked) So in this scenario the Off program works but the On program updater when turning the scene on doesn't set the relay status to on so the icon doesn't update in MobileLinc. If I change the on level of the relay to 100% then when it attempts to update the On Status it stops the garage from opening because when the update program runs the relay gets switched. I am going to try and find some time to play with it a bit more this weekend to see if I can come up with any more solutions. I might go back to your programs and remove my keypadlinc/relay as controllers in the scense and set my keypadlinc to run the program instead of the scene.

If I go with my original setup my kepad linc buttons work just fine in conjuction with my I/O linc. It's when I try to make everything work with MobilLinc is when I start to have trouble. No matter what programs I put in to try and get the scenes to update correctly I run into trouble. I tried implementing your programs to get things to play nice with mobile link. Here is the code that I used for the programs: When using these porgrams I switch my relay to Momentary A. If Status 'Garage / 1car-Sensor' is Off Then Set Scene 'Garage / 1car Garage - Open-Close' Off $OneCar_GD_Status = 0 $OneCar_GD_Status Init To $OneCar_GD_Status Run Program '1Car Open/Close' (Else Path) Else Set Scene 'Garage / 1car Garage - Open-Close' On $OneCar_GD_Status = 1 $OneCar_GD_Status Init To $OneCar_GD_Status If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'Garage / 1car-OpenClose-Relay' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Since upgrading to the ISY 994 my Garage Door Status Kit hasn't been preforming the way I would like it to. Equipment: ISY 994i PRO (2) Seco-Larm SM-226L w/ I/O Linc MobileLinc PRO for IOS Keypad Linc to control garage and monitor status. I prefer the Keypad Linc to show LED On when door is open. Plain old craftsman garage door controllers in the car Goal: A scene to control my garage door that also report's status. Scene is off when door is closed and scene is on when door is opened. That way in MobileLinc you get visual feedback by looking at the scene as to whether the garage door is opened or closed. I had this working flawlessly with my ISY 99i. Previous Setup ISY 99i I had everything working great with my ISY 99i. This is how I had things setup previously: -I/O Linc setup - Momentary Hold Time 2 seconds. Momentary C. LED on TX. -One Scene for Status - Seco-Larm (Status) setup as controller and Keypad Linc setup as responder -Once Scene for Control - Keypad Linc setup as controller and I/O linc setup as relay -Scene for Control - ON Levels = Keypad Linc was set to on level of 100% and I/O Linc relay was set to on level of 0%. -Keypad Linc - was left in regular toggle mode -With Garage Door Closed - Relay status = Off and Sensor Status = Off -Scene for Control - was set as a favorite in MobileLinc. The scene would show visual indication of whether the garage door was opened or closed. I could tap on the scene to control the garage. -2 Special Programs to Update Status - I ran two programs to update status in case I used a non Insteon controller to open/close garage. If the garage sensor reported the door as open or sensor switched on it would turn the "Control" scene to on. If the sensor reported the door is closed I had a seperate program to ensure the "Control" scene was set to off. This worked great because then the icon in the MobilLinc app was always accurate. What I have tried under the ISY 994i - I tried Xathros setup and programs found here: viewtopic.php?p=87673#p87673 However, my setup didn't seem to stay in Sync. My Keypad Linc buttons would only sporadically show the right status and control the door. I tried adjusting my setup to Momentary A and putting my Keypad Linc button to Toggle On. However, I was still having issues under this setup with getting the right control and status. It would be helpful to know what status should the relay and the sensor show when the garage door is closed. -I tried my same setup that I had working under the ISY 99i but my "status updater" programs don't work the same way. They get out of sync real quickly. The Scenes also would not work to open/close the garage like they did with the ISY 99i. -I tried updating my programs to update the relay status instead of the scene status. This only made the garage door instantly stop as soon as I tried to open it. -I tried playing with my scenes and adjusting the "on" levels for the relay. No Luck. Can someone share with me a detailed working scenario or how they are dealing with these devices? -What do the relay and status sensors report when the door is closed -What programs are they using to make MobilLinc work w/ Status? -What "On" Levels do they have for each device in their scenes? Thanks in advance! I have already overheated my garage motor testing and trying to figure this out in the hot summer evenings.

Thanks. I finally did get into the dashboard. However, it looks like the ISY99i pro may be lacking this functionality. I clicked small wrench top right then went to network and have no options to change SSL settings in there. Shucks.

I have run into 1 problem that I haven't been able to figure out with Pushover. I can get everything working when I just use http on port 80. When I try to configure with https on port 443 I get "Subscriber didn't reply to event:1" or most of the time I get "Request Failed" I tried putting the timeout to 4,000 ms. No dice. I have the isy99i pro. I saw this in the "wiki" On the ISY - there are potentially some issues with SSL negotiation depending on if you have the PRO version or not. Go into the dashboard (http://www.universal-devices.com/99i/dashboard.jnlp‎) and in the network settings make sure 'HTTPS Client Settings' is set to 'SSL 3.0' 'Medium Strength' and uncheck 'Verify'. Other settings may work - this is just what works for me. However, I can't find any settings like this for the isy99i. Suggestions? Can I use https?
