I'm using the Insteon garage door controller to control my gate. I currently have to ask google to "turn on the gate" to get it to open. Is there a way add something or change that so i can ask google to "open the gate"? Thanks.

Thanks!

What does it mean when an icon is green vs white?

I've got 2 normal wall switches currently installed, one for the ceiling fan light and the other for the ceiling fan. They are wired together(in series or daisy chained?), and then there is an additional wire that I'm guessing goes to the fan. I thought I could just use a Switchlinc switch for the light and another Switchlinc Dimmer for the fan. I would be fine with using 2 Switchlincs, I don't need to use the dimmer(don't need fan speed control). I just want to turn the lights and the fan on using 2 different switches. Can I use what I have or do I need a special switch? Do I have to use a Fanlinc or something similar if I don't need speed control? If I can use 2 Switchlincs, does anyone have wiring instructions?

If you have a 3 way switch scene for lights, is there anyway to control that light using google home?

Decided to start fresh today and everything looks good. When I first added the lock, only 1 node showed up, after the status changed on the lock, the other node appeared in the admin application. Based on the other forum thread above, it looks like that extra node is not really necessary but I labeled "sensor" anyway. Thanks for all the help and suggestions. Here's a screenshot of all devices added:

yes, to all of the above questions

Ok, updated firmware to 5.0.16C. Removed all Zwave devices and reset the zwave dongle on the ISY. Added back the repeaters and the locks. Locks only have 1 node(basically same as before firmware update) and now I have a repeater that thinks he is a lock (see screenshot). I've tried removing everything and resetting the dongle multiple times. I think I'm done for the night.

So now I have a dumb firmware upgrade question and didn't wan't to start another thread. When I download and unzip the firmware, what do I select? During the manual firmware upgrade process, I tried selecting the zip, then I tried selecting the root folder, then I tried a few of the internal folders. Sorry for the stupid question, but how do I update the firmware? I read through the firmware instructions, they don't mention the zip or what folder or file to select. I've upgraded firmware before and don't remember having any trouble.

@tmorse305 Yes, I installed the magnet and went through the calibration process in the August App. I assumed that the "Locked" status shown in my screenshot was coming from that info. When I manually turn the lock, the status in the Admin panel updates immediately. Am I missing a node or is everything now combined? My ISY firmware is v4.7.5. Do you see the "Locked" status in your lock node and have another node that also shows locked?

When I added it, only one device/node showed up with battery and lock status displayed on the main screen, see attached screenshot. @dxdc, sorry, I don't know how to reference your topic, but feel free to do it now.

Hi, We've been switching over from Alexa to Google Home this weekend and everything has been going well until we got to scenes. When I add a scene in the ISY portal to google home, it does not show up in the google home app. If I change the "google home category" in the portal from scene to switch or light, it will show up in the google home app, but does not respond. What am I missing? Thanks.

All fixed, here's the steps I took to resolve the issue: Purchased an additional Aoetec Repeater bringing my total to 3 repeaters Removed all Zwave devices from the Zwave network Factory reset on ISY Zwave dongle Added back the Aeotec Repeaters Ran Zwave heal Added the Austin lock that was close to the ISY(this is the one that worked fine) Removed the other Austin lock that had been giving me trouble and moved it 1ft from the ISY and added it with no problems Ran the Zwave heal two times Everything is working great now. I had the event viewer open during the entire process and had no errors. Thanks for all the help!

I restarted the ISY and now the Zwave dongle is back. Performed another heal. I think I need to figure out how to resolve the Null Database error to resolve my lock issue. I'll order another repeater and put it closer to the lock as well. Does anyone know how to resolve the Null Database error?

@simplextechI tried the exclude option, it was searching for a device, like when you add it, so I used the Austin app to do the discover option and it didn't show up. Now my Zwave dongle doesn't seem to be responding anymore.
