Well there are the Insteon wireless leak sensors if you just want to detect leaking water. If those appliances are 120V, you could put a SynchroLinc on them to know if they stop getting power. There's a bigger issue though... If you're concerned about power outages...if the power is out, nothing Insteon-related including the ISY will be on...and so you won't be getting any alerts.

I'm not sure if you noticed, but the ISY is not a computer...it's a tiny little box that can do a TON of stuff... It comes as no surprise to me that such a restriction exists in an environment where memory and processing power are at a premium. It's easy enough to rename files...jquery can be just one file...just rename it... You could also put your web pages on your router if you have one that supports DD-WRT or one of the other alternative firmwares. You'd have a much more powerful web server that way anyway...

Yea but Amazon doesn't even have the things and there was only 1 for sell on Amazon Marketplace. That's a lot more work than just plugging something in... Admittedly it's more inputs and outputs, but for not much more money you could just buy a SHN device, plug it in, and be done. That's also added complexity since you have to program different things in different places. A SH product would likely be completely programmable and managed by the ISY once U-D added support. It would just be one ISY program as the "single command to initiate the action".

LeeG, thanks for the very detailed explanation. It is much appreciated.

This is awesome if for no other reason than for the image of the double-stacked (and mental image of the triple-stacked) IOLincs... I really wish SH made something with more connections. Although I guess the SHN ones work well enough if not as straight forward. Thanks for sharing!

What apostolakisl says would work, but do know that it's very far from a plug-n-play solution. =) I was thinking along those lines when I mentioned using a computer to interface the sensor. That is a super generic solution though...with a full computer or computer-like device (this webcontrol board, a raspberry pi, an arduino, etc), you can eventually get to doing anything and always just give the info back to the ISY via the REST interface. I guess if io_guy has some of the code already wrapped up for it though, that's a start.

If Control 'Office: Front Door - Opened' is switched On And Control 'Office: Front Door - Opened' is not switched Off Then Repeat Every 5 minutes and 30 seconds Send Notification to 'Default' content 'OPEN Office Front Door' Else Send Notification to 'Default' content 'Office Front Door - Closed' So when the door is opened, it will start sending an email every 5 minutes...when it closes, the repeat will be interrupted and the Else will run sending the door closed email. If you wanted different emails for "just opened" and "left open", you would do: If Control 'Office: Front Door - Opened' is switched On And Control 'Office: Front Door - Opened' is not switched Off Then Send Notification to 'Default' content 'Office Front Door - Opened' Wait 5 minutes and 30 seconds Repeat Every 5 minutes and 30 seconds Send Notification to 'Default' content 'Office Front Door - Left Open' Else Send Notification to 'Default' content 'Office Front Door - Closed'

I think it will be quite a feat to accomplish this... The flow meter would have to be hooked up to something to interpret its output and somehow get those values into the ISY. Most Insteon sensor stuff is not analog, just on and off. For example if you setup a way to connect one of these to an IOLinc, you could get to a point where if the flow was higher than a certain threshold, the IOLinc switches On, and if it's lower than the threshold the IOLinc switches Off. I'm not sure if maybe some of the Elk security stuff that integrates with ISY could do an analog sensor giving you more values than just On/Off. I guess if you had a computer (or arduino or something) hooked up to the flow meter, then it could set variables in the ISY via the REST interface. Any way you slice it...it's going to be a pain. The simplest answer is just "no". =)

I'm guessing the ISY does not support this yet? I have recently-ordered KPLs including the new dual-band relay, but I only get LED Brightness options when I pick a secondary button when making a program (first drop down Insteon, second drop down KPL Secondary Button, third drop down has only LED brightness options). If that's the case, do we know a timeline for supporting it?

I get prompted for where to save the backup every time I do a backup...

A KPL has two kinds of buttons "load-controlling" and "primary" On a 6-button KPL, the big top and bottom buttons are load-controlling, the rest are secondary. On an 8-button KPL, the top left button is load-controlling and the rest are secondary. Now, the load-controlling buttons actually control the load connected to the switch...whatever light or other device you have connected to the Red wire on the KPL. The KPL being a dimmer or not only changes that control of the load. The other buttons (the secondary ones) are just extra buttons to do whatever you want with...and they are just used as generic Insteon controllers. If you make them a controller of another device that is a dimmer (like a Lamplinc dimmer), then they will act like a dimmer. If you make them a controller of a non-dimming device (like a Switchlinc relay), then they will act as just on/off. I hope that makes sense...

But there's still subtle variations. SECO-LARM sells a great many models of locks, receivers, and transmitters. Looking at a few of their RT transmitters, it looks like they operate with a Normally-Open (NO) relay...so you could use them the NO and COM terminals. The few SECO-LARM transmitter manuals I looked at have a wiring diagram that shows an example with a simple push button. The IOLinc simply takes the place of that button. Turning on the IOLinc's Relay (via any Insteon controller) will close the relay and thus activate the RF transmitter.

That's a pretty specialized question dealing with a specific device that nobody else may have...can't expect super faster answer. Without some familiarity with those kits and how their RF receiver/transmitter works, it's hard to say how (or if) you can control it with an iolinc.

This is pretty off-topic for these forums, but along the same lines as Roomie, there's iRule. It's super customizable, but it does take a commitment to learn it and set it up properly. Once you have it working though, it can do just about anything. In my house, we have iRule control over all the A/V system and A/V distribution and the lights/fans/etc via Insteon (using ISY Rest interface).

Sometimes the ISY doesn't get all the info about the levels communicated to it correctly. Try setting it at the device and then on the ISY, right-click and to Query. It will actually communicate with it and ask for the level.

Agreed.

Oh....THAT was the problem? LOL. I agree with LeeG...and even beyond that, how was it not your first instinct to just right-click the thing? From the context menu, Group Devices surely stands out. =)

The red one is the controller. He wants the a different button off. The only reason it's coming on is if its the one actually controlling the local load right? And so the led will be on even if the on level is 0. Is there a way to control the led of the load-controlling button? Most stuff about the LEDs only mention the secondary buttons but this isn't secondary? This is secondary button which controls a scene which turns the local load off.

That's my understanding at least. Maybe one of the others will say otherwise, but I'm pretty sure that's correct.

No, you need the following: Else In Scene 'Baby's Room Light' Set 'Baby's Room Light' 60% (On Level) It doesn't apply the changes and automatically assume you want to back them out at the end of the time. You have to explicitly do that in the Else clause. The "Then" will run at 8pm and set it to 30%...then the "Else" will run at Surise-1H to set it back to 60%.

Ok, so I'm guessing it's an 8-button KPL and the ceiling lights are connected to the red load wire...so the A button is just the local load. So in that case, I don't think there's anything you can do. The LED will always represent the On/Off of the load...and it is technically "on" just at level zero. If it were a secondary KPL button, then you could control the LED by having it as a responder to the scene. I think you're only option is to use an ISY program. Instead of having the ceiling lights in the scene with a zero On Level, simply have a program that detects "Kitchen Mood" being switched On that will turn the ceiling lights off (and thus the LED off as well).

I guess we'll never know... =p

I think he has old Flood Lights with PIRs in them that were X10 compatible. The motion sensing doesn't work anymore because they're old, but the lights still work and he can still turn them on and off with X10 commands. He wants to use his Insteon motion sensors to do the motion sensing part since the motion sensors in the lights don't work anymore. So he needs his Insteon ones to send the appropriate X10 commands for on and off to his lights. That's how I interpret it anyway...

Remove it and readd it then it will be fine.

Wrap electrical tape many times around that thumb wheel to disable it (make sure it's on first =p). Then a remotelinc2 can be used to control the bulb...mount it anywhere in the room or just leave it next to the lamp.
