When to use a Scene instead of a Prorgam
Thanks, I'm going to change one of mine and recheck.

When to use a Scene instead of a Prorgam
Sounds like the hidden sensor works different than a TriggerLinc, when I change the mode they only send an on, never an off. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

When to use a Scene instead of a Prorgam
I want to do this as well, but I also use the door sensor (triggerlinc not the hidden one) to show the status of doors. I have a scene DoorOpen and all the triggerlincs are in the scene which also has a KPL button as a responder so I can see if a left a sliding door is open. I haven't figured out a way to do both without a program. I don't use this a security system, I know an ELK is the right way to do that, but haven't moved to that yet... That's next on the list after I'm done with all my insteon & z-wave installs...

How to monitor a freezer
I'm using this http://www.smarthome.com/i-o-linc-insteon-freezer-failure-sensor-kit.html It doesn't monitor temperature, just notifies me if above 39 degrees. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Thanks everyone for responding with your experience. I was thinking about getting these locks and now I definitely will. Amazon has them for $172, with prime shipping which looks like a great price. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Turn a light on when a door sensor is tripped
I can't give an answer why disabling that program would cause a problem, but everytime I think I want a KPL to flash by toggling a scene on and off in a loop I have issues similar to what you describe and have never been able to figure it out. As to the preference for using a variable or run a program, I usually find I need a variable since I might want to break out of the second program example that oberkc showed. Like if the switch was manually pressed... But that is one of the many reasons I love the ISY, different ways to solve the same thing... Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Turn a light on when a door sensor is tripped
To answer the last question, yes it does look good and I typically write programs using that state machine style. But I would move turning the light on to the second program, or even make it 3 states where 1=light turned on, and 2=waiting. This makes it easier to add other states and triggers later, like motion detection or a manual light control change. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Motion Sensor Bug?
Also if you push the button on the MS 7 times quickly they send the current duskdawn status if it's different than the previous status so you don't have to wait the 3.5 minutes. I wish the ISY would automatically remember the last reported status of wireless devices so I don't have to create variables and programs for all of them... Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Range Extender 2992-222
OK, makes sense. I guess I was assuming that I would add them so their communication status could be seen. Thanks! Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Range Extender 2992-222
I am trying to add a new Range Extender 2992-222 device, but I get an error "Unsupported Device:0.29". I tried adding it manually but that fails as well. I did search the forums and didn't see anyone mention trying to actually add this device. I am using the latest 4.2.10 Firmware and UI. Is there anything I can do until it's officially supported? Thanks, Jim

Garage door control with KPL and Mobilinc
Oberck, if you say yours solve both 1 and 2 from the op, that would make this simpler Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Garage door control with KPL and Mobilinc
oberck, the difference between this setup and the one on the wiki is detailed in the op. I will try to find time later this week or this weekend to add a second button to one of my doors and test it. Jim Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Can't connect to ISY
You should be able to configure the new routers base ip address to what you had before. Was the ISY configured to use dhcp or a hard address? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Foscam Alarm and ISY Variable?
Those are instructions to create a client to talk with the ISY. There may be a way to create a ISY module to accomplish this, but that is a lot of work for a simple fix. I've asked UDI to chime in on this subject... Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Foscam Alarm and ISY Variable?
We know that using a proxy like you mentioned with Google works, examples using a web server on a nas device were posted. To do it with Google opens a lot of security issues that I don't want to get into. I have requested a change for the ISY firmware, of course it is possible, but it was given low priority by UDI.

Foscam Alarm and ISY Variable?
An understanding of your intentions you mentioned above would have been helpful. Both MWareman and myself are seasoned ISY user/programmer types along with others in the posts I mentioned above. It was confirmed by UDI that there didn't seem to be a way to do this without a proxy. The easiest fix for this is for the foscam set_alarm to allow the URL with embedded username/password, or have the ISY REST interface allow passing the username/password as parameters. It would be awesome to have a cleaner interface between foscam and ISY so any help you can provide would be appreciated. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Foscam Alarm and ISY Variable?
Sorry if I offended you, it was not meant that way. I only a have a few decades of programming experience so you obviously know more than me. But I do have a few years of ISY experience.. I will leave this discussion now. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
