Hi Lee. The version is v4.3.26 for both the UI and the firmware.

Interestingly the PLM table shows all the switches and most of the switches do not have the above record for the PLM you mentioned. There are a few with E2 00 and E2 18 and E@ 12 records for the PLM but that is it. How do I get the PLM records into the switches now?

Hi All, My PLM died. I bought a replacement, and followed the steps in the Wiki to a T. I read over a dozen different threads on here before I tackled the replacement. I did not do a delete of the PLM. I know better. BUT, after doing a restore of the PLM none of my scenes worked. It didnt even show they were triggered in the event viewer. So I did some more reading and decided to try and do a restore of all my devices. I let that run to completion and still no deal. So I read some more in the forum and read that one guy had to delete and recreate his Scenes for some reason. So I have tried that on a few and it worked. BUT here is the deal. If I turn on a light from the switch itself it is not reporting back to the ISY that it has been turned on. If I execute the command for ON, OFF or anything else from the ISY it all syncs just fine. Any ideas what is going on with my scenes and why the switches are not reporting status back to the ISY even after a full restore of the PLM AND a restore of the devices? Thanks all, Kerry

Direct integration. I am all about simplicity. The fewer apps I need the better. IFTTT is nice but just adds one more thing to troubleshoot when something breaks.

Big thanks to Michel for fixing me up. The file system was definitely corrupt. I sent UDI a backup, he cleaned it up in under an hour and sent it back to me to restore. All better now. Thanks so much!

Check this screenshot out. I tried to do a rename. While every other scene has an Address that is 5 digits to identify the scene, this one has a ton of special characters, etc in it. The Scene name itself is over 100 characters long.

I did thanks. My wife has a Windows 7 box that I tried it from as well. It is only this one corrupt scene with the bizarre naming that I never created. It just "showed up". Everything else seems to be working fine.

Thanks guys. I tried it again with the local admin console on the desktop and still no deal. I can't delete, move, remove device or another activity. Its pretty corrupt. Weird. Other thoughts?

Brilliant! That link fixed it! We seriously need to get this sort of stuff added to the Wiki. Funny enough it was Xanthros that answered it in that last link as well. It was the last Java security setting in Safari that I was missing. It wasn't setup to run in Unsafe Mode. Now just to figure out my original problem about the corrupt scene that is causing so many problems.

Thanks for the tip Michel. I did the diagnostics that you suggested. There are 10 records, 7 say identical and 3 say Identical/Ignore. There are no 00 00 00 records in the middle. Any other thoughts? I don't have a current backup because I was getting errors that it couldn't create the zip file. Now I am getting very nervous that I will have to wipe the ISY clean and start from scratch. That would be a disaster.

Lee the "Managed Scenes" text is on the scenes that are not corrupt. https://www.flickr.com/photos/97670248@N02/23165450814/

I have rebooted several times to no avail. Its stuck in there. My backup is old otherwise I would just restore a backup. Backups are another issue that I haven't posted yet. When I try to back I get a message that it cannot create the zip file and errors out. I'm on a mac.

using v4.3.26 for both

I had not! I just tried it though and still didn't work. I can do nothing with this scene. I can't move it to a new folder, delete it, remove devices, nothing. Did you look at the screen shot? Most of the scenes have white text below the scene name that is a 5 digit number and then says "Managed Scene". That one is completely garbled. No idea where it came from.

First I get the warning message asking if really want to permanently delete the scene but then there are no other messages. It just doesn't do it.

Ya I know. Embarrassing. Sheesh.

Hi All, I seem to have picked up a corrupt scene on my ISY and I can't figure out how to delete it. When I right click to delete it in the admin console it won't delete it. Here is a screen shot. Any ideas? Here is a link to a screenshot since I can't use the image extension in my post. https://www.flickr.com/photos/97670248@N02/23496615200 Kerry

Sorry I found it in the Portal forum. If I could delete this post I would.

Hi Guys, I am trying to follow the directions for enabling Portal support in the admin console so I can try out the echo. I am on firmware v4.3.26. I thought I read that v4.3 had support for Portal built in but when I go look to enable it in the Configuration I don't have a tab for Portal. Am I doing something ridiculously stupid here? Thanks, Kerry

Thanks for the super quick reply! What do you suggest? Should I just dump the status checks? Kerry

Hi Guys, I wrote a little program to monitor my front garage lights. They get left on all the time. There are two switched that I have added to a scene and made both controllers. But since the ISY can't seem to monitor the status of a scene I had it monitor the two individual switches. If the garage lights come on I just want them to turn off after 10 minutes. What am I doing wrong below? Garage Front Light Check - [ID 0014][Parent 0021][Run At Startup] If ( Control 'Garage - Front - 1' is switched On Or Control 'Garage - Front - 2' is switched On ) And ( Status 'Garage - Front - 1' is not Off Or Status 'Garage - Front - 2' is not Off ) Then Wait 10 minutes Set Scene 'Switch Group Scenes / Front Garage Lights' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Thanks! Kerry

Wow guys lots of great feedback. Much appreciated! I finally understand how the Keypadlincs really work with that explanation from Lee. The basic scenario of what I am trying to accomplish is pretty simple. I have a Keypadlinc in our living room. The living room is pretty much the last place we are in the evening before heading up to bed. I built the program to turn on the lights in our bedroom, kick on the ceiling fan (Im a human furnace) and to light the way from the first floor to the second. The after a period of time I wanted the program to turn every light on the first floor off. Pretty simple I thought. I was getting hung up on the keypadlinc button light ALWAYS being on. I like Xathros idea of doing the button as non-toggle OFF. I think I will give that a shot as well. Thanks again to all... Kerry

Interesting guys thanks for the feedback. I guess part of where I was confused was with the Non-Toggle ON state. I assumed that even though all it could do was send an ON. But I thought that the Control function in the IF statement was looking for a "new" ON state when the button was pressed. I was wrong. Also, any idea why it is that you can change the state of a standard dimmer switch to OFF in the THEN statement of a program but for a keypadlinc you have to add the key to a scene and adjust it in there? I dont get it. Seems lame you have to create a scene with a single button in it.

HI All, I recently put together a program and linked it to a button on my keypadlinc. I followed the directions in the wiki so I'm not quite sure what I am doing wrong. I have the button set as non-toggle ON. Here is the program. If Control 'Living Room- F' is switched On Then Set 'Master Bedroom - Indirect' Fade Up Set 'Master Bedroom - Hall' 50% Set 'Master Bedroom' Off Set Scene 'Master Bedroom / Master Fan - Medium' On Wait 1 minute Set Scene 'First Floor Lights' Fade Down Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Any ideas why the program stays true and the light stays lit on the keypadlinc? Thanks all. Kerry

I'm sorry but when I did a search on all the "garage" threads I found lots on using the garage sensors with KPLs and other button configurations but I didnt find any example problems that were related to my question. If this has been answered before and you know where, would you mind just including the link? Thanks.
