Yes a node server can be done. I've started on a new ISYHelper that I plan to move into a polyglot. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Does anyone make an Insteon announcement speaker/device
Jimbo.Automates replied to Bill Morrow's topic in ISY994
Yes that is pretty cool. Currently I use old Android tablets to speak pushover notifications sent by the ISY. But if this can send to chromecast I need to switch since I could send it to my Google Home's! Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk -
Thanks everyone for the compliments. Yes, Alexa and IFTTT control of one Harmony works very well. I'm currently using IFTTT for Google Home and it's been fine. But, when you have more than one harmony hub it's not possible, or is painful. I think the ISY integration could somehow happen in the Portal, and IMO, I don't see this ever happening directly in the ISY, although that would be nice. Here is my plan I hope to work on, but of course it requires a RPi. (or something to run the java/python code) 1. Run https://github.com/bwssytems/ha-bridge, why? because: - It keeps up with continual changes to the mostly undocumented Harmony and Hue API's - It has nice method for defining macros, so you can define a macro to change the channel to ABC - This macro can be set up to look like a Hue switch, so you can say Turn on ABC currently with Alexa or Google Home. - It has a pretty simple REST interface 2. Write a polyglot to interface with ha-bridge - This will be tricky, and require downloading the config to the ISY which is built on the fly each time the ha-bridge config is changed. I plan on working on #1 soon, and initially it will allow pulling the spoken properties from the ISY and create hue devices in ha-bridge, so it will replace ISYHelper's PyHue. And since you can define Hue devices from Harmony, it will replace PyHarmony as well. Once that is working, I'll start on #2 which will completely replace current ISYHelper Hue and Harmony functionality. I could do this without ha-bridge, but it would require a text or web-based interface which will be to much work, for me and/or each user. If anyone has better ideas on how to do this, or input on how it should be done, please let me know.

Doesn't answer the question. That allows you to send and receive IR between both devices? But how do you start a harmony activity? And can you control activities on multiple harmony hubs? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Setting up mutually exclusive buttons in scenes - LED problem
Jimbo.Automates replied to to_lighter's topic in ISY994
Why do you have programs that turn on the button scenes? You only need to define the mutually exclusiveness of each scene on the KPL button controller within the scene (it will be highlighted in red), not just the scene itself. Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk -
I don't think the portal will transfer, you will have to submit I support ticket for that. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Also, on the Google Home forum https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/googlehomepeople have mentioned that it's best to not use capitalization or punctuation although I never tried it. So just make the phrase be 'turn the fan on', of course it's probably best to use 'master bedroom fan on' if you have another fan.

Problem making an IFTTT trigger using "Maker"
Jimbo.Automates replied to mvgossman's topic in Amazon Echo
Sorry I can't help, but just wanted to say I have a few maker recipes that do this and have not seen this issue. Try using Chrome web browser? Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk -
Thermostat Recomendations - Insteon or Z-Wave
Jimbo.Automates replied to hedgehogfrenzy's topic in ISY994
I have 6 of the Trane TZEMT400BB3NX and don't have any complaints, it reports all status to the ISY. I also have a never used Venstar T1700 that I will sell if it will work for you. Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk -
Yes, I finally read that the only option was to use port 80, pretty lame that Google ignore what port the hub says it's on and assumes 80. But at least it works. Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk

I don't use mobilinc so can't say. I use it thru UDI Portal. There is info on the google home forum for adding IFTTT: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/googlehome/IFTTT https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/googlehome/SdKaKMQfNNg;context-place=topicsearchin/googlehome/IFTTT This issue has really caused me problems since Home is remembering deleted or renamed recipes. https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/googlehome/9-obS6U9Meo;context-place=topicsearchin/googlehome/IFTTT But I could create the step/by/step for IFTTT -> ISY Portal via Maker Channel. Not sure if I'll have any more time to play before going out of town all next week.

Currently only thru IFTTT and maker channel. Works well, but tedious to set up each device. The HA bridge from bwsytems is supposed to work, but my quick try wasn't successful, need to spend more time with it. But I've seen that the official API is supposed to be released in December so hopefully better support soon. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

FanLinc 2475F Rev 1.9 Replace Hunter Fan Control?
Jimbo.Automates replied to Jimbo.Automates's topic in ISY994
Oh Crap, that is not good news. The one that failed worked fine for 6 months, but died one week after replacing the fan with a hunter. I have 5 more of these Hunter fans, one installed tonight with a fanlinc Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk -
FanLinc 2475F Rev 1.9 Replace Hunter Fan Control?

FanLinc 2475F Rev 1.9 Replace Hunter Fan Control?
Jimbo.Automates replied to Jimbo.Automates's topic in ISY994
Thanks everyone, right after mak this post I remembered that other post and I swear I deleted this post and posted on the other one. Sorry for the duplicate. Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk -
I assumed I could replace the Hunter ceiling fan control shown in this picture with a FanLinc, and it worked fine for a few days but the fan started making a vibrating noise and stopped running while it was on low. Now it does not work at all on Low, but Medium and High work fine. Do you think it's a problem with the Fan or the FanLinc, which is a rev 1.9? I'm going to swap in another FanLinc that was meant for another fan, but wanted to get some opinions first...

Trigger Scenes with Play and Pause on Harmony Remote
Jimbo.Automates replied to andrew77's topic in ISY994
If you include the ISY in the current activity you should be able to program any button on the remote to run any command you have available on the ISY. I was asking just to know how you have it setup. I use my ISYHelper running on an RPi to integrate Harmony and Alexa with the ISY so it is all different, and cannot do what you are asking.
