Thanks -Xathros I think that is what I am looking for. I would like to create web pages with links etc. and then load them into the ISY server. I see several free editors that I may give a try. Not sure what the 8.3 naming convention is or what services are offered by the ISY's server. Thanks for the direction. Gary

Hi all I was wondering if there is something out there like a program that can be used to create useful web pages for the ISY as I don't have a clue beyond coping a photo into the web server to be displayed on access. Also any detailed instructions or video would be helpful. Thanks so much for any assistance. Gary

Thanks Michel That would explain it. My security software deletes temporary files as part of PC tune up. Thanks Gary

Hi Through many releases I have a question regarding the admin console. Prior to being able to select different themes the console would revert back to a full screen display even though it had come up several times with the size that I had re-sized it to. After being able to select different themes it now after several times coming up correctly will not only go back to full screen display but also revert back to the default color blue. Any suggestions? Windows7 Isy99i now at 3.3.9 Always have cleared Java after each upgrade. Thanks Gary

Hi The new Venstar T5800 thermostat with Wi-Fi looks very interesting. Was wondering if any support will be available in the near future. Strangely the cost is less than the Insteon module for the T1800 and has far more features.. Thanks Gary

Hi I just ran into an issue with the DST change. I have a program that queries the voltage of an ELK zone every 3 minutes. It runs the than statement at startup but ended when the time changed. I was wondering if this should have happened? If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Repeat Every 3 minutes Set Elk Zone 'OutLightLevel' Query Voltage Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ISY99i ver3.3.3 Thanks Gary

Hi I have the Venstar thermostat with the INSTEON Thermostat Adapter version 2.4. Should I be able to synchronize the thermostat's clock under this version? I tried a program but nothing really happens. This is all that is sent out: Fri 09/14/2012 08:55:00 PM : [ Time] 20:55:00 0(0) Thanks Gary

Thanks MstrD for the good info about using C-escape. Sure saves a lot of time and errors. Gary

Hi I just received my Russound MCA-C3 and have been setting up commands in the ISY's 'Network Resources' page. I was wondering if any thought has been given about adding a Russound module. Thanks Gary

Thanks MstrD I did find the commands in plain text in Russound documents but now I don't know how to change to binary in the format needed by the ISY Resource Editor. Copy and past doesn't work nor are they seperated by ; Would be a lot of work to enter manualy.

Hi I noticed that Russound isn't included in the third party section so I thought that I would ask the question here. I am in the process of ungrading one of my old Kustom whole house audio systems to the new Russound MCA-C3 unit. Having an intergrated ethernet port I am hoping to be abe to control functions via the ISY. I did find the import files on the WiKi for zone source selection and turning the zones on or off. My main desire would be to add or remove a zone from 'Do Not Disturb' as I have ELK announcements going on during the day and night. I saw that additonal downloads would we comming for the MCA-C3 in the future and was wondering if that might be some time soon? Thanks Gary ISY 99i/IR Pro, Network and ELK modules. 3.1.17

Hi Michel All is OK now. I reinstalled 3.1.15 and then upgraded to 3.1.16. All went well. Thanks Gary

Hi Lee Windows 7 using Internet Explorer 8. Also file shows zipped.

Hi The file size shows 4.79 MB.

Hi TJF1960 I did download several times but am still getting stuck at about 2 - 6%. It is at 'Insteon.Img' Thanks

Hi First time an upgrade failed. I am getting the message: 'File Reported Written Size is Invalid' Thanks Gary Using ISY99I

Hi I upgraded to 3.1.15 from 3.1.14 and all went well. However I am still seeing the -60 temp in the main zones 1-16 and the -40 on the keypads. However the -60 was cleared on the four expanded zones 17-20. I cleared Java twice and did several Elk Refresh Topologys. Thanks Gary

Hi I have the ELK module installed and everything for me works fine so far. I did have an initial problem when I had 'access' checked on the user code that I set up for the ISY. The ELK response was very slow or not working. Another small issue is that after the module was installed and working I changed the F button descriptions on one of the two keypads, but I can not get the ISY to pick up that change in the config, security system, area, keypads panel. Also should outputs 7 - 16 be available for programs etc. My outputs start with 65. This is a great addition to the ISY. Thanks for all your effort. Gary

Thanks Lee. Perhaps I need to look at trying a new PLM. Gary

Hi I have an EZIO8SA that I have connected to a PLM2412s. I removed the 12v power fuse from the PLM and connected the EZIO8SA to its own 12v power supply rather then geting the power form the PLM. The problem I am experiencing is that after every power outage I need to restore the EZIO8SA for its links to function again. Was wondering if this is normal with the EZIO8SA. Thanks Gary

Hi Spero I too have looked for someway to interface my propane tank reading into the automation system. I did fine the following: http://www.rochester-gauges.be/dataShee ... UMInst.pdf It would provide an analog output and relay outputs for interfacing into an automation system or local dial. The drawback is that it cost about $600.00. Another alternative would be to connect the Rochester Remote Ready Dial R3D directly into an analog input like found on the EZIO2X4. The EZ can be set for high and low values to send an ON or OFF. (Full - Low) Here are the specs for the R3D: http://www.rochester-gauges.be/dataShee ... HEInst.pdf When Insteon comes up with a device that will send analog values similar to the thermostat adapter I will revisit trying to interface the tank readings. Hope this may give you some ideas. Thanks Gary

Hi, Maybe this would work. [Furnace Fan - Hourly Cycle Condition] If Status 'Living Room / Venstar House' > 71° (Temperature) Then Run Program 'Furnace Fan - Cycle Heat' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') [Furnace Fan - Cycle Heat] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Program Disable Furnace Fan - Hourly Cycle Condition Set 'Living Room / Venstar House' Fan On Wait 10 minute Set 'Living Room / Venstar House' Fan Auto //turn fan off Wait 50 minutes Program Enable Furnace Fan - Hourly Cycle Condition Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Gary

Hi All seams good with 2.8.5 except that while viewing a 2477D dual band switchlink dimmer on the admin console the new current state bar will disappear if an STxxx update is received from either thermostat. I just need to click on another device and then back to the 2477D to restore the bar, but it will disappear again as a new STxxx update is received. I did clear Java before connecting to 2.8.5. Thanks Gary

Hi I also noticed that on the EZIO4O that the admin console doesn't match the relays. Example, if I turn on relay 2 relay 3 shows on and so on. Also firmware 2.8.1 Gary

Lee hi I did an Auto Discovery. Maybe will consider an additional PLM for the PC but it's not that pressing at the moment for timer access. Thanks Gary
