I'll give that a try this evening.... thanks!

@Geddy, @lilyoyo1 thanks, I did the 5.3.4 upgrade but still the same problem...

HI, I just installed a new Yale Pro Z-Wave lock (YRD136) and am having problems with what it is reporting to ISY. When it is locked from the keypad it reports "manually locked" and not "Keypad Locked" as it should. All other reporting seems to be ok such as "keypad Unlocked by user XX", "RF locked", "RF unlocked" if I manually lock it from the inside it reports "manually locked" as well as when I lock it from the keypad... this is a problem as I have a program that arms the security system if locked from keypad (outside) FW 5.3.0 Any suggestions?

Hi Michel M1G - 5.3.8 M1XEP - 2.0.34 Matt

IFTTT looks like it might work with some tweaking.....

i want it more for the family than me.... I have mobilinc on my iPad but TheBoss and kids have different phones and accounts so purchasing an app for everyone would be expensive.... I ultimately want to make it simple for them..... Text "temp 72" and the thermostat adjusts, text "bedroom off" light turn off.... I have a raspberry Pi, network module, etc. Just want to know if it's possible, and if so, where can I find some instructions? Cheers Matt

Is it possible to control a zwave thermostat via text.... I want to be able to change the set temp by texting the desired temp, also control lighting etc. by text (living room on), (temp 72), etc. Is there a wiki somewhere?

no.... only changes status... ready/not ready to arm... as doors, motion, etc, change state. not consistently and continuously throughout the day like the log is showing

I don't see any errors to do with Elk... but several others.

While troubleshooting another issue I happened to take a look at the log under tools. When I opened it up i was surprised to find that every 30sec or so my Elk is generating a "Get Topology" and "Get All Status". Is this normal? My concern is that it is utilizing system resources unnecessarily and slowing down other processes.

I have a similar situation where I use the off "status" and off "control" to turn the lights on at 20% for the bathroom at night. If the light is off (status) and you turn it off (control), it then runs a program that turn on the light at 20% for 5 min then turns it off. So in the middle of the night when you have to go... just hit the off switch and the light goes on dim for 5 min then turns itself off after i'm back in bed! If Status 'Master Bathroom / Master Bathroom Light' is Off And Control 'Master Bathroom / Master Bathroom Light' is switched Off Then Set 'Master Bathroom / Master Bathroom Light' 25% Run Program 'Night timer' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Wait 5 minutes Set 'Master Bathroom / Master Bathroom Light' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Thanks... I'm still not 100% sure on the usage of the else statement, I have found that it doesn't always do what i "think" it should be doing... so for clarity I separate the commands. I'll give this a try

I have a 8 button keypad in a bedside switch, when I recently added a Z-Wave door lock I wanted to be able to see the status and control the door lock via a button on the keypad. I was able to accomplish this by the following (I know this will seem simple to some... but for those of us who are just staring out I will share how I accomplished this in hopes to inspire ) First step was create a scene I called "Front Door Lock" and added the keypad (button H) as a controller and added the z-wave lock. Next step was to create 4 programs: Unocked Status If Status 'Front Door Lock' is Unlocked Then Set Scene 'Front Door Lock / Front Door Lock' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Locked Status If Status 'Front Door Lock' is Locked Then Set Scene 'Front Door Lock / Front Door Lock' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') These two control the light on the keypad... Next Door Locked If Control 'Master Bedroom KPD.H' is switched Off Then Set 'Front Door Lock' Lock Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Door Unlocked If Control 'Master Bedroom KPD.H' is switched On Then Set 'Front Door Lock' Unlock Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') These two control the lock... Now, when I go to bed and have forgotten to lock the door I will see button H lit up on the keypad... push the button and the door locks Ps. I thought I read somewhere that cross platform (Insteon/Z-wave) scene control was not supported but that must have been in an earlier version.

I've been using No-Ip with my own domain name for just over 1 year.... no complaints to date IIRC it's $25/yr... (less than 1 coffee/month)
