Mine wakes up pretty good. I noticed that having the little alert when it wakes up screws up everything. So I disabled it.

Yea thats true.

i wish I could turn a device off on or off in x ammount of minutes. That would be nice

Is this what you are looking for? See snapshot. I will remove the "Temperature" from the spoken words. Im going to best buy to by another echo dot. BRB LOL

Where exactly do you want me to check for that?

@toflaherty Dude. You hit it right on the nose. It works perfect now. I set it to control the main, deleted the cool and added my spoken commands. But when I told alexa to change the thermostat to the temperature I wanted it got stuck and said that there was more than one device named thermostat found. So i knew I was getting closer. So what I did was I went into my alexa app on my iphone. I chose forget all devices and groups and tried again and it WORKED Thanks Dude. you rock. Thanks to everyone else trying to help me out also. Almost forgot to include my new snapshot.

According to the link below it should work. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/19246-need-beta-testers-for-smart-home-api-v2/

Im not doing it with a program. See snapshot

My thermostat is never set to auto. Its set to cool being that I live in Miami i dont use Heat . See Snap

I have programs runnning all day that set the temperature on my thermostat at different times of the day.

Just purchased an echo dot. Works great. Trying to control my Thermostat (Insteon 2441th). I followed the instructions on this http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/19246-need-beta-testers-for-smart-home-api-v2/ which had me update to ISY Optimized for Smart Home V2. But when I say "Set [device] temperature to [##] degrees." I get the following error "that command doesnt work on device t Thermostat". I can only shut if off via "Turn off [device]"

I GOT I!! I been in the graphic design/print industry for 15+ years. Snapshots do not make me a non noob lol

I do admit I am a noob when it comes to the ISY. But I setup $Home as a state variable. I dont know the difference between the State and Integer. I only used state because my mobilinc geofence used it. See snapshot.

Thanks @larryllix. I tried removing the condition from the away folder and tested but it did not work. I also did the opposite where I removed the conditions from the home folder and it did not work also. I also put a AND condition $Home is 1 to the programs in my home folder and it did not work also. So this is how I got it to work. Being that my programs wont run until the time specified I made another program and put it in the Home folder that Runs the (If) on all my programs in the home folder when $Home is 1. VOILA Thanks for all your help guys. Especially @larryllix. You always seem to reply to my topics Check all Programs - [iD 0020][Parent 001B] If $Home is 1 Then Run Program 'AC-Weekdays-Day-1' (If) Run Program 'AC-Weekdays-Day-2' (If) Run Program 'AC-Weekdays-Night-1' (If) Run Program 'AC-Weekdays-Night-2' (If) Run Program 'AC-Weekends-Day' (If) Run Program 'AC-Weekends-Night' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

So have an away mode for MY AC using a variable which Im still undecided how I will set the variable. For now I just set the variable manually. I made two folders. One for Home and one for away. In my home folder I have 6 programs that change the temperature on my ac based on the time and date ($home is 1). In my away folder I have one program which sets the temperature to 82 when im in away mode ($home is 0). The problem im having is that when I set the variable to 0 it sets my AC to 82 with no issues. But when I set it back to 1 the AC stays at 82 even though when I go to the summary the status will say true. Below is what my folders consist of. I will show the away folder first because it has less info. Thanks for your help.

Gotcha. I just need something that works on the iPhone. One thing I love about the android was Tasker.

I have an iphone so the mobilinc seems to work pretty good.

I have mobilinc. How is the ISY portal compared to mobilinc. I thought about getting the portal but I hear you can only use one or the other.

is V5.xx in beta? Can I upgrade my firmware to it? Where do I get it?

So i definitely need the network module to do this correct?

Nice. So it sends a notification(like an email) to the server module and then it writes it? I guess I can send that same notification to an email address then create a program with Ubot to open the email and extract that info and append it to an excel sheet or even write to a mysql db.

WOW. I love this thing. Ok. So I setup the variable and the program. How do I write it to a file on the ISY? I assume I can also use the weather addon to write the temperature and humidity outside at that time. So each row on my excel sheet will have the timestamp, the minutes running and the outside temperature and humidity. Is that possible?

Thanks Guys. Sorry for the late reply. The notifications went to my spam for some reason.

Is there a way to tell how long my Insteon 2441TH has been on for a particular day, week month etc? I would like to know how many hours my thermostat has been running for those periods. Does it have any kind of statistics that I can look at? Thanks in advance.

I was changing masters every night when I went to bed. Being that I couldnt find a way to automate it I just set my 2441TH a few degrees lower to compensate for my hotter bedroom.
