Google home with Fan or Thermostat
Using the portal I control the fanlincs by adding spokens for the low, medium and high scenes, that's the only way I know of. Thermostats are not directly supported thru the portal, Michel has said they are working with Google on it. Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk

Anyway to push voice alerts/notifications to Home?
It is possible to send announcements to google home to speak, but if you are currently playing music then it will be interrupted and not resumed. That was a deal killer for me so I haven't pursued it further. If someone figures out how to get around that, then I will look into it again. There was a thread discussing this one here a few months ago. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/21252-speak-google-speechaudio-to-home-assistant/

Nice article! Noticed "Node Metal Model" should be "Node Meta Model"?

Garage Door opens at least once a day
I actually had one of mine start opening randomly a few years ago. After a lot of debug it turned out to be an issue with the remote receiver, genie agreed and sent me a replacement board. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

New to Google Home
You don't need both. Agave is way better on Android then Mobilinc and Agave works perfectly with the UDI Portal, which also works very well with Google Home. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Two Homes Portal Question
You use a different email for each. For mine I use the same email with a plus sign to make them look different to the portal, myemail+house1@gmail.com and myemail+house2@gmail.com where myemail is my email name and the house1 and 2 are what I call the 2 locations.

Scene changes in console not working on KP
You need to select the KP button inside the scene and make the changes to the light level for the other responder's. Every controller of a scene can be configured differently. Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk

Control and Status in same "if".
No worries. Ya, I don't know why the faston wo make a difference, and not sure faston even makes sense for an on/off switch. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Thanks Larry, but it's not a dimmer, and I figured out the issue which is right above your post.

Control and Status in same "if".
I figured out my issue. When I wrote the above about it being a on/off and not a dimmer, I started thinking and modified the programs as below, which add faston/fastoff checks. =================================================================================== StCtTest - [ID 01CC][Parent 0043] Folder Conditions for 'StCtTest' If $s.True is 1 Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- T 1 - [ID 01CD][Parent 01CC] If 'Outside / BackYard / Back Patio' is switched On And 'Outside / BackYard / Back Patio' Status is Off Then $i.Test = 1 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- T 2 - [ID 01CF][Parent 01CC] If ( 'Outside / BackYard / Back Patio' is switched On And 'Outside / BackYard / Back Patio' Status is On ) Or 'Outside / BackYard / Back Patio' is switched Fast On Then $i.Test = 2 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- T 3 - [ID 01D0][Parent 01CC] If 'Outside / BackYard / Back Patio' is switched Off And 'Outside / BackYard / Back Patio' Status is On Then $i.Test = 3 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- T 4 - [ID 01E1][Parent 01CC] If ( 'Outside / BackYard / Back Patio' is switched Off And 'Outside / BackYard / Back Patio' Status is Off ) Or 'Outside / BackYard / Back Patio' is switched Fast Off Then $i.Test = 4 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Now I can never get state 3 to happen, it always goes to 4, which is what I was originally seeing. I know it doesn't make sense to have faston/fastoff for an on/off switch, but they are programs that I copy and modify for all, and this happened to be the first one I tested it on...

Control and Status in same "if".
Just to follow up, I can confirm that this should work. I was re-reading all the comments and was wondering if it wasn't working for me because this switch is an on/off not a dimmer, but I created a simple set of tests and they all work as expected. =================================================================================== StCtTest - [ID 01CC][Parent 0043] Folder Conditions for 'StCtTest' If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- T 1 - [ID 01CD][Parent 01CC] If 'Outside / BackYard / Back Patio' is switched On And 'Outside / BackYard / Back Patio' Status is Off Then $i.Test = 1 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- T 2 - [ID 01CF][Parent 01CC] If 'Outside / BackYard / Back Patio' is switched On And 'Outside / BackYard / Back Patio' Status is On Then $i.Test = 2 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- T 3 - [ID 01D0][Parent 01CC] If 'Outside / BackYard / Back Patio' is switched Off And 'Outside / BackYard / Back Patio' Status is On Then $i.Test = 3 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- T 4 - [ID 01E1][Parent 01CC] If 'Outside / BackYard / Back Patio' is switched Off And 'Outside / BackYard / Back Patio' Status is Off Then $i.Test = 4 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I ran all of these many times and they all work a expected. So now I need to figure out why they didn't work in my initial setup.

Update after installation
You have to unlink and re-link. We are told that it's a Google issue. Hopefully they will resolve soon. In the home app, select Home Control. Select the FAB +, select UDI, and unlink. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Control and Status in same "if".
The answer is Yes, to this question: When it is actually on, and you press off, it should do nothing (run the blank else), so you are saying that it is running true and setting the variable to 2, when it should be nothing? I will do more debugging, but I am glad to hear this is working for you, so there is hope for me Appreciate your assistance. I was hoping Michel would jump in and confirm, and if he doesn't I will ping him directly. Thanks, Jim

Control and Status in same "if".
I am on 5.0.10. I don't have any issue with correctly detecting when off is pressed and the status is off, that works every time. Where it gets messed up is when the status is on and control off is sent, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, actually seemed like most of the time it didn't work, but I didn't count. I will try a different switch tonight and see if the results are any different.

I know how to program the MS, been doing it for many years. That was not the question. The question is about a better way to disable the off program. Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk
