It's currently configured with a 5 minute timeout, sending both ON and OFF commands and set to do it all day, not just at night. I tried setting it to send ON only, but then the ELSE statement never ran.... I guess I could modify the program so it turns the scene on, waits 5 minutes, then turns the scene off all in the THEN statement and tell the motion detector to only send the ON commands. Might that work better? How does everyone else seem to do it?

Yup, it works perfectly. I can turn it on/off/fast on/fast off, all with no problems. I also use it in a few scenes that I trigger from my MobiLinc client and that works fine. Also, any and all updates from the ISY to that Switchlinc when linking/adjusting all work without a problem. Also, the even viewer appears that the hop count says there at least 1 sometimes 2 hops left. There is also a switchlinc dimmer in the same gang box tha works perfectly also for my diningroom lights.

So I tried modifying the program to turn the SwitchLinc itself on and off instead of the scene, and that doesn't work. I get a communications error which I assume is because they are not in the same scene together. When I let the program run as written with ONLY the SwitchLinc in the scene as a controller... the program runs, the STATUS of switchlinc in the ISY is set to on... but the lights never actually come on. I'm a little lost on this one now! hahaha

I'm trying to follow the second simple example here: http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index ... _Bathrooms I'd light my kitchen lights to turn on with a motion sensor, then turn off after a few minutes all controlled by the ISY so they can stay on for 5 minutes during the day when the light really isn't bothering anyone, and only 1 minute at night when it might. A few questsions? 1) Do the motion detector and the kitchen switchlinc need to be in a scene together? 2) The scene "Kitchen" should be Kitchen SwithLinc be in that scene as a controller or a responder? It's going to be a 3 way circuit shortly with 2 SwitchLinc Switches.... will that matter? 3) Does my program pasted below look ok? If Control 'Kitchen / Devices / MotionDetector01-Sensor' is switched On And Control 'Kitchen / Devices / MotionDetector01-Sensor' is not switched Off Then Set Scene 'Kitchen / Scene / Kitchen' On Else Wait 1 minute Set Scene 'Kitchen / Scene / Kitchen' Off

There are all great tips... I was working on doing this for the last few days via the port checking method and found the exact same thing over WiFi, that the MAC didn't stick around for very long, nor the port that I was check. Xathros, I'd love to see the script/logic you're using to do your checking. Also, how are you guys updating the variables? Is it through the API? Are the good docs on putting this together, I couldn't seem to find much out there. Also, do either of you have any good ways of using incoming emails to trigger these same changes/updates? I've been playing around with "Find My Friends" on the iPhone and it's great!! It will send an email to any address I want when I arrive and/or leave a location and from my testing it seems to be VERY accurate. This would eliminate the constant "polling" that needs to be done for MACs, IPs, Bluetooth connectivity, etc... It also won't change anything to "Out of the house" until the GPS actually senses its outside and not in range. It should signifcantly lower the amount of work the home server would have to do and potentially eliminate any additional servers/hardware we all might be throwing at this. I've been looking at using sites like tarpipe.com of IFTTT.com to process the email and have it execute an API call to my ISY when needed. BOOM.... home automation and the ISY "in the cloud"... all us nerds bosses will LOVE that one!

I had read a few threads on here about proximity detection of sorts.... basically wanting to know if someone is at home or isn't. So, what I've been working on is trying to figure that out.... And short of embeding an RFID chip in my arm, or trying to strap bluetooth hardware to my ankle like a house arrest band... I was thinking of what we all carry with us the most, a cell phone!! Mine happens to be an iPhone 5, my girlfriend has an iPhone 4S and what I've figured out so far is that both phones have a network feature for "usbsync" and "lockdownd" which leaves TCP port 62078 open. Since the devices won't respond to ping all the time, I decided to see if they would respond to a TCP SYN (the part of a network transmission that checks to see if a port is open and responding) and sure enough, it does! So, now I know I can set up monitoring (which I've done on http://www.monitor.us) to check that TCP port on my phone through my home router all the time... if it finds it, I'm home.... if it doesn't, I'm not!! Now the question is... is there a way to do this with a timer, network resource, some kind of API or other method I don't even know about on my ISY. Or even if I use a linux server to do the checking... can I use curl or something to fire off a program on the ISY via my network also? It seems like using the TCP port checking method should give me a pretty good idea of when either my own, or my girlfriends, iPhone is "home"... this way I do do things like turning on the lights, but only when nobody is home. Turning OUT the lights 30 minutes after the last one of us leaves, setting light preferences based on which one of us might be home at that time... etc.... What do you guys think? Any ideas?

Don't wait for more problems to come back. Check in regularly, even if you don't need help. Your experience may be needed to help out another. Oh don't worry... I'm not going anywhere! I've been reading religiously for the last few days and plan to contine. Right now I'm actually reading posts on timed dimming and setting multiple scenes with time offsets to avoid "traffic jams".... I will surely be on here a LOT as the whole idea of automating EVERYTHING is something I love. I've got bar lights, standing fans, coffee makers, a fountain, heaters that currently have no thermostat on them.... and yes, I'd like to figure out how to automate my couch!! I was thinking about it the other day when I got in my Audi.... how is "knows" there's someone in the passenger seat and turns on the right airbags. I happen to know this is done with a gel type sack inside the seat and when you sit down it squeezes some down a tube to activate a trigger.... So, my idea, get this working on the couch. Now I realize putting something IN my couch cushions might now work, but how about some kind of load cell under some of the legs? or even installed somehow between the legs and the base of the couch... granted I'm a little bigger than the average bear here, 225 pounds, but even the 100 pound soaking wet girlfriend.... surely I can some way of rigging a sensor to know if at least 100 pounds or more has been added on top of it, right? So, sit down.... and the lights get a little dimmer, the projector goes on (IR Linc) and the project screen rolls down (IO linc)... and if I Can figure it out, I'd like the vertical blinds to roll closed too! Get up while the TV is on and the lights in the hallway come up a bit, montion sensors (I'd like a few) so I can set them up with "limited" view, can pinpoint approximately where I am in the hallway... am I going to the kitchen, or the bathroom.... and of course, leave the lights up until I get back and the load sensors "feels" me sit down on the couch again..... It's all a little unnecessary.... maybe even TOTALLY excessive, but hey... that's what makes it fun! hahaha

Fair enough.... it is all still working, so I'll work on expanding my functionality a bit with the new hardware I ordered.... then come back here to get more help working out the bugs!

P.S. I've been taking tons of notes based on everyone's advice and I full intend on writing some how-to's, lessons learned, and some tips and tricks for getting this stuff all up and running.

So... I did this on my SwitchLinc Dimmer (v6.9 1248 with firmware level V.42) and... it doesn't work. In fact, each single tap of the set button beeps once and..... as if to haunt me some much (at least I thought to test it again)... IT TURNS ON THE "RESUME BRIGHT" feature!! hahahaha So, 2 questions: 1) Does this mean the RF beacon test mode has been taken out? I can't seem to find anything clear in the documentation 2) HOW DO YOU TURN THAT STUPID RESUME BRIGHT MODE OFF!!!???? The directions say to set the switch to a level other than OFF and hit the set button once. That should turn off resume bright and set the local on level to that new value. It... does not. Nor does running the program I have written to set the scene and local on levels back to 50% The good news is, after the last 3 or 4 days of "playing" I remembered the solution from the last time, did a factory reset and everything is working again. Thank goodness!

Sounds like this could be a pretty useful test tool.... I think I'll go home and try it to see what happens!

It's in the 2477D manual list as "Phase Bridging" http://wiki.smarthome.com/index.php?tit ... se_Bridger

That is a VERY good point. I was actually just doing a TON of reading on improving signal strength in my network. I've already got 2 2443 access points, and another LampLinc Dimmer (which I understand works as an access point also, correct?) The LampLinc Dimmer and a single access point are all in the same room as the PLM, so that should work pretty well. I also walked around this morning and hit the set button on the access points to make sure they are on different phases in my condo... it would appear that the second one (in my living room) didn't blink at all, so it should surely be on a different phase correct? Also, I've got another SwitchLinc Dimmer, another SwitchLinc Relay and 2 more LampLinc Dimmers on their way... so that should help a bit. I'll have those early next week.... and from the posts I see.... I'm going to order 3 or 4 FilterLincs from my home theatre system in the living room, computer in the office area and TV/Stereo in the master bedroom. If there a good way, in the ISY or with tools I have now, do to a baselinc signal test to see if adding gear next week improves the signal strength? (Also, after moving one of the Acess Point last nights after a bunch of this reading.... I see much fewer Hop=0 messages, but did have some intermitant communications issues) I see there is an option to use the SwitchLinc Dimmer as a phase coupler... is this a good idea? Should I enable it?

What I would love to see is a way to query the device and see if any of these modes (in particular, this one since it plaqued me for two days) are enabled. Maybe in a grahical, easy to use way like in the ISY admin GUI? A little more advanced status from the device? I've been learning about modes the SwitchLinc Dimmer can have, like this "resume bright" feature, as well as the ability to use it as a wired phase coupler also. For now, to make sure I stay on the same page as my devices... if I get confused.... I just factory reset and restore the device. A powerful lesson learned from the last 2 days of posting.

I want so badly to know that it god's name was going on with that think.... HOWEVER, since it works now.... I don't care, I'm just happy to have the behavior I'd like!! Sure enough, single on bring its up to 50%, a second single on takes it up too 100%, single off is off and another single on brings it back up to 50% as expected!!! Same thing works for the fast on also... a double tap for fast on hits 100% right away, single off is off... and yet another single on is back up to 50% exactly how I'd like it. Lastly, I tried running both the THEN and ELSE statements of my program and it surely does change the on level exactly how I planned it!! HOLY HELL THIS WAS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!! It's been about 24 hours of me pulling my hair out, but thanks to you guys I really have learned a TON about the devices themselves, logging, the ISY, the Insteon protocol and some basic ISY programming. Thanks so much to all of you for the help, it's MUCH appreciated. If you're ever in the DC area, I owe you all a few beers! *SMC

I'm going to try the factory reset and restoration right now, but I've discovered ANOTHER behavior I'm not totally found of: So, even with the scene working as planned... Single ON turns the lights to 50% and Single OFF turns them off. I can repeat this back and forth, back and forth and it keeps working. However, if the lights are on... and I PRESS AND HOLD the ON paddle in order to increase the brightness.... the next time I turn off, and back on the lights... it goes right back to the INCREASE light level, not the preset level and the ISY still thinks its at 50%. Let's see if the factory reset and restore works, I'll let you know.

The odd part is that with another instance of MobiLinc, which I assume has another database.... the same thing happens. I will post it in the other forum though.

Yes. Regardless of how the scene is turned on or off, from MobiLinc or from the ISY admin console... MobiLinc always shows the scene as ON. If you go into the expended options in MobiLinc for the scene, you can still click it ON, OFF, FAST ON and FAST OFF and everything works normally... just no scene status update.

No, the devices themselves report everything fine, but in the MobiLinc app, it still shows the status as "ON" even after refresh. This is that when the MobiLinc client things are scene is ON and you click on it, it issues the OFF command and vice-verse. So without proper status (as it used to work yesterday, and does for all other scenes), you can't easily turns scenes on and off.

1) slider set to 45% - lights come on at 45% 2) pressed single off - lights go off 3) single on - lights at 45% 4) single off - lights go off 5) single on - lights at 45% again 6) single off - lights at 0% again 7) double on - lights quickly jump to 100% single off - lights obey ramp rate and go off 9) single on - light obey ramp rage, but go to 100% NOT 45%, however the ISY admin console reports it as 45% Here is the trace: Tue 01/29/2013 06:20:05 PM : [iNST-TX-I1 ] 02 62 20 AD 6D 0F 11 72 Tue 01/29/2013 06:20:05 PM : [iNST-ACK ] 02 62 20.AD.6D 0F 11 72 06 LTONRR (72) Tue 01/29/2013 06:20:05 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 20.AD.6D 1E.80.B1 2B 11 72 LTONRR (72) Tue 01/29/2013 06:20:05 PM : [std-Direct Ack] 20.AD.6D-->ISY/PLM Group=0, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=2 Tue 01/29/2013 06:20:05 PM : [ 20 AD 6D 1] ST 114 Tue 01/29/2013 06:20:05 PM : [ 20 AD 6D 1] OL 114 Tue 01/29/2013 06:20:05 PM : [iNST-TX-I2CS] 02 62 20 AD 6D 1F 2E 00 01 06 72 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 59 Tue 01/29/2013 06:20:05 PM : [iNST-ACK ] 02 62 20.AD.6D 1F 2E 00 01 06 72 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 59 06 (00) Tue 01/29/2013 06:20:05 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 20.AD.6D 1E.80.B1 27 2E 00 (00) Tue 01/29/2013 06:20:05 PM : [std-Direct Ack] 20.AD.6D-->ISY/PLM Group=0, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=1 Tue 01/29/2013 06:20:34 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 20.AD.6D 00.00.01 CB 13 00 LTOFFRR(00) Tue 01/29/2013 06:20:34 PM : [std-Group ] 20.AD.6D-->Group=1, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=2 Tue 01/29/2013 06:20:34 PM : [ 20 AD 6D 1] DOF 0 Tue 01/29/2013 06:20:34 PM : [ 20 AD 6D 1] ST 0 Tue 01/29/2013 06:20:34 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 20.AD.6D 13.00.01 C3 06 00 (00) Tue 01/29/2013 06:20:34 PM : [std-Group ] 20.AD.6D-->13.00.01, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=0 Tue 01/29/2013 06:20:50 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 20.AD.6D 00.00.01 CB 11 00 LTONRR (00) Tue 01/29/2013 06:20:50 PM : [std-Group ] 20.AD.6D-->Group=1, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=2 Tue 01/29/2013 06:20:50 PM : [ 20 AD 6D 1] DON 0 Tue 01/29/2013 06:20:50 PM : [ 20 AD 6D 1] ST 114 Tue 01/29/2013 06:20:50 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 20.AD.6D 11.00.01 C7 06 00 (00) Tue 01/29/2013 06:20:50 PM : [std-Group ] 20.AD.6D-->11.00.01, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=1 Tue 01/29/2013 06:21:11 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 20.AD.6D 00.00.01 CB 13 00 LTOFFRR(00) Tue 01/29/2013 06:21:11 PM : [std-Group ] 20.AD.6D-->Group=1, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=2 Tue 01/29/2013 06:21:11 PM : [ 20 AD 6D 1] DOF 0 Tue 01/29/2013 06:21:11 PM : [ 20 AD 6D 1] ST 0 Tue 01/29/2013 06:21:11 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 20.AD.6D 13.00.01 C3 06 00 (00) Tue 01/29/2013 06:21:11 PM : [std-Group ] 20.AD.6D-->13.00.01, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=0 Tue 01/29/2013 06:21:30 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 20.AD.6D 00.00.01 CB 11 00 LTONRR (00) Tue 01/29/2013 06:21:30 PM : [std-Group ] 20.AD.6D-->Group=1, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=2 Tue 01/29/2013 06:21:30 PM : [ 20 AD 6D 1] DON 0 Tue 01/29/2013 06:21:30 PM : [ 20 AD 6D 1] ST 114 Tue 01/29/2013 06:21:30 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 20.AD.6D 11.00.01 C7 06 00 (00) Tue 01/29/2013 06:21:30 PM : [std-Group ] 20.AD.6D-->11.00.01, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=1 Tue 01/29/2013 06:21:53 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 20.AD.6D 00.00.01 CB 13 00 LTOFFRR(00) Tue 01/29/2013 06:21:53 PM : [std-Group ] 20.AD.6D-->Group=1, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=2 Tue 01/29/2013 06:21:53 PM : [ 20 AD 6D 1] DOF 0 Tue 01/29/2013 06:21:53 PM : [ 20 AD 6D 1] ST 0 Tue 01/29/2013 06:22:04 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 20.AD.6D 00.00.01 C3 12 00 LTON-F (00) Tue 01/29/2013 06:22:04 PM : [std-Group ] 20.AD.6D-->Group=1, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=0 Tue 01/29/2013 06:22:04 PM : [ 20 AD 6D 1] DFON 0 Tue 01/29/2013 06:22:04 PM : [ 20 AD 6D 1] ST 255 Tue 01/29/2013 06:22:04 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 20.AD.6D 12.00.01 CB 06 00 (00) Tue 01/29/2013 06:22:04 PM : [std-Group ] 20.AD.6D-->12.00.01, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=2 Tue 01/29/2013 06:22:25 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 20.AD.6D 00.00.01 C7 13 00 LTOFFRR(00) Tue 01/29/2013 06:22:25 PM : [std-Group ] 20.AD.6D-->Group=1, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=1 Tue 01/29/2013 06:22:25 PM : [ 20 AD 6D 1] DOF 0 Tue 01/29/2013 06:22:25 PM : [ 20 AD 6D 1] ST 0 Tue 01/29/2013 06:22:25 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 20.AD.6D 13.00.01 C3 06 00 (00) Tue 01/29/2013 06:22:25 PM : [std-Group ] 20.AD.6D-->13.00.01, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=0 Tue 01/29/2013 06:22:43 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 20.AD.6D 00.00.01 CB 11 00 LTONRR (00) Tue 01/29/2013 06:22:43 PM : [std-Group ] 20.AD.6D-->Group=1, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=2 Tue 01/29/2013 06:22:43 PM : [ 20 AD 6D 1] DON 0 Tue 01/29/2013 06:22:43 PM : [ 20 AD 6D 1] ST 114 Tue 01/29/2013 06:22:43 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 20.AD.6D 11.00.01 C3 06 00 (00) Tue 01/29/2013 06:22:43 PM : [std-Group ] 20.AD.6D-->11.00.01, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=0

Ok, I'm home! Here we go with the first test. First off, to set everything up I have disable every program in my ISY except for the "Query All" program that was on my default when the unit shipped. I have also gone into my "DR-Scene-CrossLink" scene, selected the "Dinning Room Chandelier" (which is a controller in this scene) and set its [Applied Locally] On Level to 60% and the Ramp Rate to 2.0 seconds. 1) First ON press, I expect lights to go to 60% - THIS WORKS 2) Second ON press, I expect lights to go to 100% - THIS WORKS 3) Third ON press, I expect lights to go to 60% - THIS DOESN'T Here is the log: Tue 01/29/2013 05:47:21 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 20.AD.6D 00.00.01 C3 11 00 LTONRR (00) Tue 01/29/2013 05:47:21 PM : [std-Group ] 20.AD.6D-->Group=1, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=0 Tue 01/29/2013 05:47:21 PM : [ 20 AD 6D 1] DON 0 Tue 01/29/2013 05:47:21 PM : [ 20 AD 6D 1] ST 153 Tue 01/29/2013 05:47:21 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 20.AD.6D 11.00.01 C3 06 00 (00) Tue 01/29/2013 05:47:21 PM : [std-Group ] 20.AD.6D-->11.00.01, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=0 Tue 01/29/2013 05:47:21 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 20.AD.6D 11.00.01 C3 06 00 (00) Tue 01/29/2013 05:47:21 PM : [std-Group ] 20.AD.6D-->11.00.01, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=0 Tue 01/29/2013 05:47:21 PM : [iNST-DUP ] Previous message ignored.

My next test will be the FAST ON test to see if I get any better behavior: 1) Double ON press for FAST on, expect lights to come on at 100% with no ramp rate - THIS WORKS 2) Single OFF press, expect list to go off to 0% ramp rate? - THIS WORKS (at the normal ramp rate of 2 seconds) 3) Single ON press, expect lights to come back to 60% - THIS DOESN'T WORK (it goes back to 100%, but the ISY reports 60%!)

Ok, so now what?

Perfect, I'll add that as another test case. I'm also going to disable all programs in my ISY-994i other than the "Query All" that was there when I started. I'm just itching to get out of work and try it... I may leave shortly, a few minutes early, just to get home and test this.

I will test this ASAP when I get home also. Thanks!

Mike, THANKS! I will test this as soon as I get home. I'm almost 100% sure I DID try this and the last press of the ON button put them back up to full instead of 50%. I should be home in about 3 hours, I'll let you all know!
