  1. Yes, that's what I do as well, but my wife asked if I could make them stay on if you turn them on when they are already on. Seemed like an easy request
  2. Thanks, I assumed it was a timing issue but was hoping someone had a elegant solution. I do have a workaround using a variable that tracks the switch status, and found thru experiments that a 1 second delay was necessary, so still not a great workaround. Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk
  3. I've been looking at updating my lights auto off programs to use new Ignore functionality in version 5 to disable motion and open/close sensors triggering the lights. Currently I am using faston/fastoff to disable auto-on/off and thought the program below would also allow you to turn the light off when it was already off to disable, but this doesn't seem to work since they are the same switch? AL FRO Manual Off 2 - [ID 0010][Parent 0017] If 'Outside / BackYard / Back Patio' is switched Fast Off Or ( 'Outside / BackYard / Back Patio' is switched Off And 'Outside / BackYard / Back Patio' Status is Off ) Then $s.AL.FRO.Mon = 2 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Switch was manually turned off when it was already off, or fast-off was sent, so disable auto/on off. When the switch is on and you turn it off sometimes the variable gets set to 2 and sometimes it does not.
  4. I have had this happen twice today trying to modify a bunch of programs with 5.0.10 to start utilizing the ignore function. I had restarted the ISY this morning and I know there is not another console connected. What can I do to help debug this? I I notice every time this happens, it brings up the dialog for saving programs, but nothing shows, and in the lower left, it says System Busy, then eventually the system busy dialog comes up and I get the bad request popup, then invalid key error popup.
  5. Yes, that's the only way, unlink and relink. Hopefully Google will fix that. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  6. Google Home Drops to $109 ($20 Off) http://www.droid-life.com/2017/06/05/deal-google-home-drops-109-20-off Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  7. Right, that shows my point Like with IFTTT you can say what ever phrase you want "turn on kitchen lights" and google responds with whatever you want "Time to make some food". Or if it's a UDI device say "turn on kitchen cans" with response "turning on kitchen cans", or "turn on kitchen lights" and response "turning on four kitchen lights" Also, my Alexa knowledge is old, since I haven't used them in a few months, and finally unplugged both of them. Anyone want to buy 2 of them, PM me
  8. I also really like that Home tells me what it's going to do. Although it very rarely hears the wrong thing. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  9. Custom responses when using ifttt are pretty cool, although now that the udi portal is supported I'm not using ifttt, but hopefully udi can add that in the future. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  10. The home speech recognition is so much better. I hope the ability to define rooms will allow controlling devices in the current room much easier in the future. For me the biggest feature besides home control, has been whole home audio thru Google cast with homes and and receivers combined. The ability to recognize different users is awesome as well. Also, you don't need a Google music subscription, you can play music you own or use many other service that supports Google cast. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  11. Thanks Chris. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  12. So not sure which fixed it, but I rebooted the computer I've been using and the ISY. Now it's good.
  13. Hey Michel, that shouldn't be possible. I have only used the admin console on one computer. But I did have the admin console lock up on me once and force closed it after not being able to close it for about ten minutes and could have had an edited program. How can I get out of this?

  14. When I try t save a program I get this error: Tue 2017/05/30 07:06:33 AM System -190004 HTTP: Incorrect pgm key [59ADDE0C.4E84] I found one other forum reference to this: http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/19180-error-when-saving-program-invalidincorrect-program-key/?p=179625 But my PLM says it's connected, so not sure what the issue is. I had changed a program and custom notification yesterday, but this morning when I got the notification it was the old one, so I went back to check and the program I modified looked correct, so I edited it and tried to save again and got this error. Firmware and UI 5.0.10
  15. Thanks a lot for the write up up, this may be the final motivation for me to start using these. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  16. Hi Chris, Yes, a verification would be awesome. Would it also be possible to store the param and write it to the battery device when it's awake? Thanks, Jim
  17. Chris, is it possible to make the set return a bad status when it doesn't actually set the param? I run on a battery device and I think it sets the value, but then I check with the query and it's not set. I ran this: http://192.168.86.64/rest/zwave/node/ZW037_1/config/set/8/5/1 Which returned: <RestResponse succeeded="true"> <status>200</status> </RestResponse> Then ran: http://192.168.86.64/rest/zwave/node/ZW037_1/config/query/8 which returned: <config paramNum="8" size="1" value="0"/>
  18. To unlink, you select the linked Universal Devices in the Home app and it will prompt you to unlink. Don't delete it from the Portal. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  19. Awesome, thanks Benoit! Really appreciate the effort and response. Also, the response time is amazing when asking Home to control the lights, I can't tell any difference between this and my local solution.
  20. Thanks Michel, Wes, and Benoit for the responses about syncing. That will be great when it's solved. But when Benoit says Thermostat's are not supported, do you mean with the interface you were given? Because other thermostats like Honeywell and Nest are supported? BTW, I am in no way complaining, I really appreciate all the effort and will gladly give up my hacked hue emulator.
  21. This is awesome, since Google decided to force a Hue account which makes the hue emulator a pain to support. But, I notice that adding my Z-Wave thermostat doesn't work. Also, how do you force it to update devices? I removed one and added a bunch but they are not showing up after a few minutes.
  22. Ya, I should have posted in it's own thread. I won't be home to test for a few days
  23. Nice, but multi user support sounds great, can't wait to try it next week when we get home. https://blog.google/products/assistant/tomato-tomahto-google-home-now-supports-multiple-users/ Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  24. Some do have the option. Many aeon devices require two button presses to include securely, but that is not a requirement for the siren. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  25. What you are asking for has been proposed a few times, and I'm pretty sure Michel has hinted that it may be looked at in the future. There are issues with it, but the advantages​ in usability outweigh them, IMO. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
