    Questions on the flair system before I buy

    in Flair

    Posted

    Thanks for the input.  Looks like the original idea is the tried and true.  Zoning Supply has a 4 zone controller and their take off damper is perfect for my system, although it won't connect to the EISY directly, for the 3 other bedrooms I could run it off the EISY using Z wave thermostats connecting to it.

    Of course it comes back to wiring the thermostats from the rooms up to the attic for the controller.  just have to do it.

    I am glad I asked because the Flair looked like a decent shortcut to my problem but I need it done right and working

    Questions on the flair system before I buy

    in Flair

    Posted

    I need to do a balancing of my second floor hot air/hydronic system and this system looks like it would work (I have been putting off as previous systems that use inline dampers and controllers into my EISY system is a huge project)

    Everything in my house is run by the EISY since it came out, using the 994 before that since 2012. Some of the vents are on a cathedral ceiling 18 feet high so I am doing my research.

    Questions:

    1 - I have 4 rooms with the insteon thermostat in the master bedroom that has about 3 vents.  What I saw on Flair only showed up to 3 rooms.  I need to damper the MB to get more flow into the 3 other bedrooms, can it be used like this and damper the main room where the thermostat is?

    2 - I would need to install wiring through the duct for power (I have all 12" x 12" Vents) so I don't have to change batteries, but the Flair website briefly mention it, but no detail.  Has anyone run the power to a supply?

    3 - Will the PG3 plug in work for programs and other adjustments?  

    4 - Is the PG3 plug in long term with them, when the MyQ couldn't work anymore I had to put in a zwave work around but this doesn't look like it would work for the Flair.

    Some of these questions I will have to contact Flair, but I wanted to start here as the EISY is the starting point for all my automations and really don't want another app to control things.  Plus I am looking at about $2,500 and work to install and this is a key part of the HVAC system.

    Thanks for any help

    thanks

    IoLinc 2450/SECO-LARM sensor for Garage Door

    in eisy

    update

    I would try momentary C.  I just put a 2450 on a liftmaster due to the myq node no longer working and it works correctly with that and with the google home.  I now have to say turn on or turn off garage door...

    I just pulled up what i have it set at.  I think I put a magnetic switch for the sensor.

    LED Light bulbs dimming

    I have found some led bulbs don't like insteon like others.  

    I can have 2 of the same spec bulbs from different mfgs, one will light faster than the other and/or cause it to ramp up when it is suppose to go on, among other things like humming or other noises.

    Put the clear filament glass bulbs in different locations found some of them burn out in months versus the 20 years and others fine.

    That solution seems like it would give you local control of the door. I assume it means you either need to add your own tilt sensor or use variables to track door status? The situation where I notice the door is open when I'm away and I can close it has always been my primary reason for getting MyQ in the first place. The other thing that was and still is nice about MyQ is that it's one solution to control both of my openers.

    the zooz zen17 has i/o so it can open and close and with a magnetic contact switch show it open or closed.  i think my garage door switch comes tomorrow and should have it working this weekend.

    I ordered the door/light switch LiftMaster 883LM Security+ 2.0 MyQ Door Control Push Button off amazon for $17 and will solder on dry contact relay for those with a z wave zooz zen52 which I have found work pretty well.

    Now no need to tie myself to Myq products for other door opener replacements.

    I have been getting the 429 error even stopping it for a day or 2. 

    I don't understand at that point where it has too many login attempts.  I am thinking more of putting zwave dry contacts on the openers with momentary setup if the node can't work with their server anymore.

    Have to restart often.

    Sorry guys. I had it all (at least mostly) working and but now PG3 has completely died. Cannot get to the UI or IoX on my Polisy. Restarting the Polisy remotely did not help. And since I am remote, my options are rather limited. I will be back local on Sunday evening, and I can look at it then.

    Thanks for working on it  Many times my eisy has to be unplugged to reboot correctly, have not chased that down.

    Just FYI, HA myQ users in the East region are still reporting trouble with this 403 error on the myQ integration to Home Assistant, so if you're in an area served by the East myQ servers, it is possible it could turn out to be nothing to do with the NS and it will just start working soon on its own, although since it's a node server you might need to restart when it does start working again. I don't know how to tell what region I'm connecting to, but since my HA integration is working, there's a good chance I'm connecting to the West.

    I am in RI, from what I see in the 403 error line, the ns pw isn't getting authorized thus not connecting.  I have had issues with other connections using the 2 part authorizations that ended up being fixed to work with it.  just my thought

    I saw the conversation on the pymyq GitHub repository today about the changes. Unfortunately I am traveling until Wednesday, but should be able to look at it then.

    Does it look positive for a workaround or mod for this ns?  The pain inflicted on me by the wife when any of the system goes down is unbearable

    Ok, let me see if it may be the phase out of older API calls. This happens every year-and-a-half or so.

    UPDATE: While it could be just a problem with the oAuth servers (a partner to Chamberlain), it looks  to me like they have changed access parameters, either the client secret or something else. As I have mentioned, I built this integration based on another integration that exists out there that I couldn't use directly. So I have no way of hacking the mobile app to see what has changed in the authorization structure and instead will have to wait  and see what others find. Unfortunately not seeing other integrations having specific issues reported yet, and my mobile app is still working. I will continue to investigate.

    If you don't restart the node server, your node server may continue to operate for some time.

    Also, merged the two threads.

    a very frustrating weekend of google not being able to open the garage door, it's not able to authenticate with chamberlain.  the phone app works, opening on the admin console works sometimes and with google home even less.

    Roomba j7+ Discovery

    I just got my J7+ and could not discover it either.  The info does not say it works with it I gave it a try.

    The J7+ is a big seller so hopefully it can get set up for the eisy soon.

    Could not get the motion to respond in a scene or program

    in Ring

    Posted · Edited by captainc

    i did just figure that out, i guess i wasn't far enough in front of the doorbell for it to see motion.  i just thought it was a little strange it had the same switch icon as the insteon motion detection where you use status to control nodes and have more options.

    i have one last slot on my voice annunciator for people coming to the door for fun.

    for extra fun after i get my occupancy going i can fire up the alarm and strobe when i'm not home.

    i have one ring i have to use batteries so getting a notification when the battery is low is nice.

    after i got the node server installed each ring doorbell showed a motion node and online node.  i played around for a short while can could not get the motion to respond in a scene or program.  i didn't have the time to go further and look into how to make it work as a true motion detector which i am hoping to turn on lights and other things.

    my trial is expired so i will have to buy the node and hopefully get the information to get it working.  it's at another house i am at half the week.

    there did not appear to be any instructions like all the other node servers i have purchased.

    Zooz S2 MultiRelay ZEN16 Not Showing All Switches

    in ZMatter

    Posted

    I have zooz zen51 installed on my polisy so i figured i should be able to use a zen52.  tried for quite a while and could not exclude or include on the polisy so i contacted zooz customer support.  The zen52 appeared to be stuck in include mode, so i sent it back.

    They were able to include and use on their hub, a zbox i assume.

    For some reason the single contact zen 51 can be installed, but not the zen52 dual contact.

    The same zen52 works fine on my zbox hub at another house.
