Would that also then allow me to connect to the ISY using REST over https? I'm a little fuzzy on what the UDI Portal would do for me other than remove the need for port forwarding.

Thanks MrBill. So if I do that then I don't have to deal with certificates? I'm in! lol All the other stuff that I have working will continue to work? REST, IR, ZWAVE all of that remains the same?

Hi, I wanted to start using https with my ISY994i and self-signed certificated sounded like the first baby step. I don't know about everybody else but that is one hell of a baby step for me. LOL I looked at the UDI pdf that goed over using certs but my head just spins uncontrollably. Any hand holding would be hugely appreciated. I'll need to access the ISY remotely, currently to do that I've got the home network there using DDNS, and I use the DDNS name to access the ISY over http As far as the instructions for using a self signed cert. I go into the ISY dashboard and get up to the point where I fill out the SSL Certificates Mangement fields and click the 'Self Signed' button. After I click the button I get the prompt that the ISY will reboot. Now I have no idea what to do next.... Is it supposed to now work with https? Cause it doesn't for me. For the host name in the certificate information, does that need to be the ip address of the ISY or the DDNS name for the home network? Or something else entirely. Any help would be really, really appreciated. Thanks! I've read a bunch of threads that say self-signed isn't as safe as using CA. I can understand that, I just want to start using https and don't think I can handle something even more complicated right now. lol

Unfortunately, yes I am sure. I originally though I could just replace the controller in the fan canopy with the fanlinc and be off an running but after quite a bit of googling it seems a lot of the fans that are sold by lowes and home depot are now DC motors. Here's the link to my fan on the lowes site http://www.lowes.com/pd/Harbor-Breeze-Platinum-Kingsbury-70-in-Oil-Rubbed-Bronze-Downrod-Mount-Indoor-Ceiling-Fan-with-Light-Kit-and-Remote-ENERGY-STAR/50057203. Under Specifications it had Motor Type listed as DC.

Hi, I'm in the US, the fan is from Lowes. It's the Harbor Breeze Kingsbury 70-in Ceiling Fan with Light Kit and Remote I was really hoping there would be a solution where I didn't have to Mcgyver things to get it to work.

I have a harbor breeze ceiling fan that has a DC motor and a RF remote control to control the light and fan. I had purchased a fanlinc with the 6 button keypad without realizing that the fan's motor was DC. After looking at a few threads about controlling DC fans with a fanlinc is seems that will not be an option for me. Is there something that does IP to RF? Something that could learn the remote's commands and then be controlled with the ISY using the network module. Just throwing it out there, it seems the trend in ceiling fans is to have proprietary remotes and controllers. Making it practically impossible to incorporate into any home automation. Something that would be able to learn the commands from the remote would be the smoothest way to control the fan in my opinion. Hopefully someone has an elegant solution. Steve

I figured it out. I was having a hard time figuring out that the rest command that was being sent was actually setting the variable. I was also not understanding that the 37 in the rest command (/rest/vars/set/1/37/1) was the Id for the variable that you create. All this stuff that's probably pretty easy for you guys was making my head spin. lol This all works like a charm thanks for sharing this info, it goes without saying that if you didn't have it here there is noooo way I would have ever figured out how to do this. Thanks a ton!

Can anybody offer more details or screen caps to help me out? I'd love to get this to work for me but I'm not familiar enough with the product to get it done. Any guidance would be REALLY appreciated. Thanks!

Hi! This is exactly what I'm looking for, I've got a rental house that is in another state and I use the ISY to control the thermostats. It works great but occasionally the house's cable modem conks out. I've got all the pieces I need to have the ISY reboot the cable modem when the internet is no longer available, I've got an insteon power outlet with the cable modem plugged into it, I purchased the network module for the ISY and the ISY is reachable by dns name,. I guess the problem I have is that I'm not well versed enough in the network module to figure out what goes where in the posts. I think I correctly setup the InternetTest resource (see screenshot) but now I don't know how to do the rest. Would it be possible to get screenshots of the different pieces that need to be configured for this to work? Or maybe more of a description of which piece goes where for us newbie? Thanks in advance this is exactly what I'd like to do. Regards, Stephan

oh I didn't remove the thermostat from the ISY, I just created a new scene and added an existing thermostat to it. I'll try that when I go back up this weekend, and if that doesn't work I'll call tech support. Thanks for everyone's help!

ok I'm now using the same version on both the admin and the firmware. I created a new test scene but it still doesn't work - when I requery the thermostat the setpoint changes back to what it was before I turned the new test scene on.

I upgraded the firmware on my ISY to 3.3.10 and I upgraded my UI to 3.3.9 (LOVE the new interface BTW) but unfortunately none of the upgrades helped with my scene correctly turning on thermostats.

Thanks Xathros, Good idea, I do have a PC I can remote and I'm tempted to but just in case I'll wait until tonight when I get to the house.

ok I'll update it when I head over there this weekend. I'll keep you posted!

Ok great, I'll give it a try. Is this something that wouldn't be a problem if I do remotely? Or would you recommend I do this while physically at the house? Thanks
