Hi Mitch, Glad to hear you got it working. As for the Variables, I am not sure what you are asking for. The 'init' values of each are set to '0' and the values are changed according to which program is run. I use io_guy's ISYLogger to record the daily history of lock events. ~Mike

Hi Mitch, Just checked all my programs and verified I have made no changes since posting these. I also did not change any settings on the lock. Are you running the latest Z-Wave firmware version? (v4.55) You can display the version by clicking Z-Wave - Advanced - Z-Wave Version. Also, I am currently running ISY Firmware/UI v4.2.21 but am not sure when support for the Schlage lock first appeared. The right side of your Admin Console should look like this when the Schlage lock is selected. Status is sent from the lock upon each action without the need to query. Do you see any activity in the Event Viewer when you operate the lock? (Tools - Diagnostics - Event Viewer) You should see activity in Event Viewer set to Level 1. ~Mike

I attached my reed switch to the overhead rail assembly and associated magnet to the trolley inside the rail using double sided tape. Not sure if this is possible in your installation. Here is a picture with the door closed. ~Mike

Hi Blackbird, I have been using an Insteon I/O Linc to control my Garage Door for well over a year with no issues. I also have never experience an All-On or All-Off. One of the suggestions to help prevent this from happening was posted by LeeG earlier here. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/15636-considering-disabling-isy-due-to-all-on-bug-process-to-remove-it/?p=133909 Other suggestions can be found here. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/10516-random-all-on-event/?p=133991 ~Mike

Hi Joe, I currently have the Z-wave module and have downloaded your app therefore I also would like to see Iggy Remote support Z-Wave. ~Mike

Pick a port up in the Dynamic Port Range of 49152 to 65535 and use that port on the external side of your router. The camera uses HTTP port 88. Once your router is configured you would connect to your camera using the external IP:port and your router will point it to the correct IP:port you configured. Say you use port 61500 for the external port, once configured it would look like this. http://extIPaddress:61500> Router > http://intIPaddress:88 ~Mike

Thermostat Advice for ISY: Z-Wave? EcoBee3? Honeywell? Trane?
MikeD replied to prairiecode's topic in ISY994
Hi Jimbo, The Trane TZ400BB3VZNNSL thermostat does show up as a Repeater along with the Aeotec Multisensor (USB powered) and the Aeotec Repeater. ~Mike- 42 replies

Teken, It does take a lot of time experimenting with different sizes, shapes and background colors. I must have printed five sheets of 4x6 photo paper so far, filling each square with different icons and fonts. Ha! I had cut little squares all over the place trying to decide which looked best! ~Mike
-
Hi Teken, Yes, I know what you are saying. I am not shooting for a professional looking appearance. If my objective was to create something for display in a formal or professional environment then I would not go this route. Since my homestead is not quite the formal setting I am going more for the cool factor. The different color buttons are somewhat of a key advantage to function. I have other KPLs with the same Icons so they are easy to spot what they do. I'll admit it is not the most appealing look with different style Icons. Just having fun and throwing it out here. ~Mike
-
Here is what I have for one of my KeypadLincs. I used a paper cutter to trim the photo paper to size. Trying Icons instead of wording for the Z-Wave Schlage lock and Garage door buttons. Not quite sure if I am satisfied with the top and bottom button color scheme, they might change. ~Mike

I have my PLM and ISY behind a UPS and FilterLinc however this was not done because I had issues with COMs. I did this in order to eliminate the possibility of power sags/surges/spikes/brown-outs from damaging the PLM since it is such a critical piece of the system. Been configured this way since I read about PLM failures here on the forum, probably a good 18 months. Now I know the PLM failures were due to faulty capacitors and not utility issues. My system is working without issues so I am reluctant to move the PLM off the UPS! ~Mike

Hi Lee, Your post on labeling finally got me motivated to label my KeypadLincs. I only been using them for two years with the non-descript keys, really I knew what they did. I had added some clear buttons to one of my orders way back with the intention on doing this so I had everything needed. I originally tried a Brother labeler with 1/2 inch black on white tape. The buttons looked good but rather plain compared to what you have done. So I just had to try your idea which is something that I would have never thought of myself. I used a table set to the approximate dimensions of the buttons in Microsoft Word for the formatting. I'm still playing around with different colored backgrounds and my spouse really likes the idea of color coding the buttons by function. Now she will stop asking what 'that' button does. Thanks for sharing. ~Mike

Fuzzy math? Sorry, I was trying to wrap my head around this and I think I had too much caffein this morning. ~Mike

Hi Jimbo, Exactly, should have fully described it as (2421) TriggerlLinc v.40. ~Mike
-
With v4.2.21 I just added a spare Open/Closed Sensor Model 2843-222, inside label reads 3313 Rev 1.9. ISY Auto Discover named it a TriggerLinc v.40. Three nodes showed up: Opened, Closed, Heartbeat. ~Mike

Anything RF can be snooped. Is there anything already developed out there? Don't know, certainly not in the iOS world!

I stand corrected. You CAN use the app to control the firmness setting through the app. Does not work very well as I keep getting a disconnected message, but I did manage to change the firmness level a few times. FWIW, I verified the controllers are not on the wifi network so I am positive the controllers are Bluetooth. My iPad is always connected to my internal router on 192.168.1.xxx network and the SleepIQ controller is on my external U-Verse router/gateway on 172.16.1.xxx network. I connected my iPad to that network and ran the Fing app to verify that there was only one select comfort device on that network. ~Mike

You cannot control your sleep number over wifi, I believe the controller(s) you use with the bed communicate via Bluetooth. The iPad app can only view the history that is retrieved from the SleepIQ cloud service. ~Mike

This is what I currently have in place. In addition I added a notification that the door was left open for more than 10 minutes. I also have a camera in the garage to visually verify the door is closed. ~Mike

Jim, The Init of a variable is only referenced when the ISY boots. ~Mike

I also did not add the Wait to my VC3 programs and have not had a problem although I just should add the Wait since it could not hurt. With 5 leak sensors around the house everything has been running great. Heartbeats have been received so I know all the sensors are talking. I also can vouch for how this set of programs keep you informed of a leak. I have an area that is prone to get wet due to a small crack in the foundation wall and with all the rain we had this past Saturday the leak programs came into play. During the night one of my leak sensors triggered and I was notified via email of the wet condition. I received a follow-up email the next morning at 9 AM. Everything was back to normal once the area dried up. This was the first time I received a 'real world' notification since implementing these programs a year ago. Thank you again Brian for sharing. ~Mike

The bolt is somewhat wedge shaped to help it enter the door frame. I attached a few pictures to give you an idea of what it looks like.

I just had my first weird experience with the BE469 lock. As I mentioned in an earlier post it has been flawless since install back in April. This morning I was receiving Prowl 'Not Responding' messages while I was out and about. When I returned home I found the lock was no longer communicating with the ISY, it had a red ! next to it in the Admin Console. Querying the lock did not correct the issue. I removed the battery cover, disconnected the batteries, manually operated the lock a few times, then reconnected the batteries and the inside Schlage button flashed red once then went out. The lock was back in communication with the ISY after doing this. Do not know what caused the lock to stop Z-Wave communications but thought I would mention this in case someone else experienced a similar hiccup. ~Mike
