Since a picture speaks a 1000 words, and I obviously cannot get this properly through my head. I have a 6 button KPL that button B toggles the stairs light and I always want it to show the current status of the stairs light so the wifey does not need to press it two, three times to get the lights to come on or off. I have that KPL button as a responder to the scene that controls that stairs light (a 2 wire switchlinc kit).

The Mobilinc Connect subscription is $29. or so a year, of about 2.50 a month. That way you don't have to open up the ports on your router. The other night, while out to Red Robin for dinner, I turned off all the lights in the house the kids left on..

What does it say in help about?

I would put out another hypothesis that will be tougher to test. My Motorola cable modem, will not allow new clients after x amount of time goes by. E.g. if friend comes over with an ipod that I want to allow to use my wifi, I often have to reset the router to actually get it to assign the DHCP address. Had to do this with a number of items and eventually, with my xbox and another device, I just assigned static IP's to make sure they didn't get ignored by the DHCP on the router. If you could use the shell to get into the ISY directly and see if it's even getting an IP address, you can eliminate the problem I have occasionally with non ISY devices. Now my ISY has been given a static IP on my internal network so I can always pull up the html interface anytime on any device on the local lan. Alan

Is there part number for the little bugger a mouser or digkey? I have to replaced a thermister on a keypandlinc switch type and would not mind ordering another few of these just in case. Alan

Got a video I've been trying to track down master light show, which uses Insteon to control lights to music. JLTsoft.com went away. Been looking a little at light-o-rama too, but you can sink a fortune bigger than a whole house insteon system, in to a few things!

Pull it apart and take a real close look at the board.

Not too personally familiar with fixing wiki's and links, but the forum thread link below is incorrect: ISY-99i/ISY-26 INSTEON:Programs as Variables: SwitchLinc Emulates Countdown Timer This tutorial was posted on our forums by user rob9. I generated a set of programs to generate a countdown timer with a switchlinc relay. I know that there is a Switchlinc Relay Countdown Timer that can be purchased, but I already had a regular switchlinc relay installed and by using the ISY to program it, you have lots of control on exactly how to make the timer work.

Copy your program in to the posts here so we can take a gander at it. Optionally, you could add another program that looks for the fast off in the garage and turns off the scene, but there are or statements available from the programming drop downs that you can add to the if. and there are () for precedence control) e.g. (if time between 7:30 and 8:15 and garage fast off)

Help about in the ISY admin console. When you are sending the commands out, do any of the led lights on the modules blink? Especially the plm.

Unless you add some tests for your motion sensor to time out, or go read about how to do up some timers, even if you have motion your lights will go out in 20 minutes period. And on the second question you can definitely have a program that looks at turning the lights off at 11:00 if the motion sensor is off. You will have to either close jumper 5 on the motion sensor and then make the changes in the ISY or by a bit of trial and error adjust the trim pot on the sensor to get about a 20 minute time out. Personally, I have not tackled the timer programming myself. I would love to see Universal-Devices give us a timer method in the programming.

Media_popcorn connected to the load it is controller of scene Media_popcorn_sc Media_popcorn_sl has no load it is controller of scene Media_popcorn_sc, Media_Popcorn Media_popcorn_sl is responder to the Media_popcorn_sc, and Media_Popcorn When I turn on Media_Popcorn_sl from the ISY the light does not come on When i turn on the media_popcorn_sl from the switch the light turns on Am I not understanding how this should work? Should I not expect to turn on a switch via isy NOT connected to the load and get it's linked one to respond to turn on the light

What does your error logs show around that time? Might want to run a level 3 log overnight too and export it to take a look at.

I have been thinking about this. I have a couple of the wireless modules that post the temperature to their servers and can be pulled down. Can the ISY be programmed to poll a website with some of the extension modules? Refresh this page to get the latest values for your TX-60 devices.

For the wire, there are extremely flat wires about 2 sheets of paper thick that would be great for getting the sensor into the fridge. But as another member suggested, getting through the light wire might be an option if you can fish it properly.

My mix of devices are pretty varied by version, and I was concerned it would be a large burden to get all of the devices programmed if I did then in one scene only. To help with some strange communications issues, I have moved a couple access points around and ordered another one to fill in. I noticed some switches in the basement didn't tend to take their programming until I moved an access point while working on a RL2, and they magically stopped being so stubborn.

Thank you for the encouragement. Would you mind sharing your program so I can dissect it a bit?

Like a bed time button. Hit it twice fast so a fast off, I want to run a couple of scenes that turn off all the house lights. Wondering if I have the concept down here before I embark, or if there is a smart way to do it. since i cannot seem to have a scene be part of a scene I need two scenes: upstairs lights basement lights a program that looks for fast off on my kpl when it sees fast off it executes upstairs lights off it executes downstairs lights off Is that pretty much the gist of it?

I am in the same boat as you. However, I have a lot more programming experience in general. But still bending my head around some of the limitations I read here on the boards. I am surprised that Timers are not a native object to use on the ISY, seems like they would have been requested as a new feature a long time ago. Write it up, maybe some of your stuff will give me some ideas for my stuff.

Does WVS use modules or anything like that we can make up a little bit of code to use the rest commands and write that weather data into the ISY?

Would be interested in this as well. Been working for a few months to get a really great buy on a Davis system off of Ebay. I also have heard of the WVS linux program. It talks to a variety of weather stations at home and can upload the data into weatherbug's servers. It would be a work around for sure, we keep a number of computers up 24x7 around here, but native support would be my preference.

I happen to have both. The 2413SH is connected to the ISY. I think that the 2413SH is only needed when you first setup Houselinc, once it's up and running, it has never cared which of my two PLM's I use. I happen to have both PLM's connected, the 2413S to the HL, and 2413SH to the ISY when I was finally able to get the Remotelinc and the first motion sensor going. When I connected the second motion sensor, I had only the ISY plm connected. Yep, some strange stuff there, but it's up!

Got em just moments ago, both are added now.. Wierdness. I even unplugged the second PLM just in case that was the reason they linked up, and they are still received. I will unplug the 3rd access point and try them around the house again to make sure the other 2 access points and the ISY 2413SHplm pick them up. Then that third access point can go out to the shop or garage if it's in range, and I can use the remotelinc as the control of my dust collector as planned. Alan

No Venstar here. I have run houselinc with a second plm I have, just a plain 2413S and can confirm both the motion sensor links and the remote linc links up. I can see the traffic with the verbose logs by pressing a button on the remotelinc 2. Therefore I can accurately surmise there is at least SOME rf working around here. Took a walk around the house, see houselinc log below: 2012-12-16 08:50:59,546 [16] DEBUG - Rx: Std Msg, From: 1C.3D.83, To: 00.00.02, Flag: CB (Hops: 2/3), C1: 13 (Light OFF), C2: 00 2012-12-16 08:50:59,765 [16] DEBUG - Rx: Std Msg, From: 1C.3D.83, To: 00.00.02, Flag: CB (Hops: 2/3), C1: 13 (Light OFF), C2: 00 2012-12-16 08:52:48,859 [16] DEBUG - Rx: Std Msg, From: 14.1A.66, To: 00.00.01, Flag: CB (Hops: 2/3), C1: 13 (Light OFF), C2: 01 2012-12-16 08:52:49,078 [16] DEBUG - Rx: Std Msg, From: 14.1A.66, To: 00.00.01, Flag: CB (Hops: 2/3), C1: 13 (Light OFF), C2: 01 2012-12-16 08:52:54,812 [16] DEBUG - Rx: Std Msg, From: 1C.3D.83, To: 00.00.01, Flag: C7 (Hops: 1/3), C1: 11 (Light ON), C2: 00 2012-12-16 08:52:54,968 [16] DEBUG - Rx: Std Msg, From: 1C.3D.83, To: 00.00.01, Flag: CB (Hops: 2/3), C1: 11 (Light ON), C2: 00 2012-12-16 08:53:14,875 [16] DEBUG - Rx: Std Msg, From: 14.1A.66, To: 00.00.01, Flag: CB (Hops: 2/3), C1: 11 (Light ON), C2: 01 2012-12-16 08:53:15,093 [16] DEBUG - Rx: Std Msg, From: 14.1A.66, To: 00.00.01, Flag: CB (Hops: 2/3), C1: 11 (Light ON), C2: 01 2012-12-16 08:53:22,656 [11] DEBUG - Checking gateway communication... 2012-12-16 08:53:22,671 [11] DEBUG - Tx: Get PLM Config Flag 2012-12-16 08:53:22,671 [16] DEBUG - Rx: PLM Ack, 02 73 48 00 60 06 2012-12-16 08:54:04,796 [16] DEBUG - Rx: Std Msg, From: 1C.3D.83, To: 00.00.02, Flag: C7 (Hops: 1/3), C1: 11 (Light ON), C2: 00 2012-12-16 08:54:05,015 [16] DEBUG - Rx: Std Msg, From: 1C.3D.83, To: 00.00.02, Flag: C7 (Hops: 1/3), C1: 11 (Light ON), C2: 00 2012-12-16 08:54:16,375 [16] DEBUG - Rx: Std Msg, From: 1C.3D.83, To: 00.00.01, Flag: CB (Hops: 2/3), C1: 13 (Light OFF), C2: 00 2012-12-16 08:54:16,593 [16] DEBUG - Rx: Std Msg, From: 1C.3D.83, To: 00.00.01, Flag: CB (Hops: 2/3), C1: 13 (Light OFF), C2: 00 2012-12-16 08:54:25,312 [16] DEBUG - Rx: Std Msg, From: 1C.3D.83, To: 00.00.04, Flag: C7 (Hops: 1/3), C1: 13 (Light OFF), C2: 00 2012-12-16 08:54:25,531 [16] DEBUG - Rx: Std Msg, From: 1C.3D.83, To: 00.00.04, Flag: C7 (Hops: 1/3), C1: 13 (Light OFF), C2: 00 2012-12-16 08:54:33,515 [16] DEBUG - Rx: Std Msg, From: 1C.3D.83, To: 00.00.03, Flag: C3 (Hops: 0/3), C1: 11 (Light ON), C2: 00 2012-12-16 08:54:33,640 [16] DEBUG - Rx: Std Msg, From: 1C.3D.83, To: 00.00.03, Flag: C7 (Hops: 1/3), C1: 11 (Light ON), C2: 00 2012-12-16 08:54:41,265 [16] DEBUG - Rx: Std Msg, From: 14.1A.66, To: 00.00.01, Flag: C7 (Hops: 1/3), C1: 13 (Light OFF), C2: 01 2012-12-16 08:54:41,500 [16] DEBUG - Rx: Std Msg, From: 14.1A.66, To: 00.00.01, Flag: C7 (Hops: 1/3), C1: 13 (Light OFF), C2: 01 2012-12-16 08:54:53,656 [16] DEBUG - Rx: Std Msg, From: 14.1A.66, To: 00.00.01, Flag: CB (Hops: 2/3), C1: 11 (Light ON), C2: 01 2012-12-16 08:54:53,937 [16] DEBUG - Rx: Std Msg, From: 14.1A.66, To: 00.00.01, Flag: C7 (Hops: 1/3), C1: 11 (Light ON), C2: 01 2012-12-16 08:55:09,750 [16] DEBUG - Rx: Std Msg, From: 1C.3D.83, To: 00.00.05, Flag: C3 (Hops: 0/3), C1: 11 (Light ON), C2: 00 2012-12-16 08:55:09,890 [16] DEBUG - Rx: Std Msg, From: 1C.3D.83, To: 00.00.05, Flag: C7 (Hops: 1/3), C1: 11 (Light ON), C2: 00

Three access points all in proper LED mode, and 2 dual band PLM's (one being used to test what's up with houselinc) Any other testing I can do there? I confirmed by watching each individual led, that when either the 2420M set button is pressed the access point(s) blink.
