    Updating scene controllers without creating programs

    this doesnt exactly solve the problem though as if i send a 50% command of a scene it still turns the scene on to 100%

    ive tried removing the kpl from the scene and i still cannot dim a scene, only dim a device

    /rest/nodes/SCENEID/cmd/DON/50 - this still turns on my light to 100%

    This is only from UDM,  Scenes do not support % commands

    is it possible in the future to say - if any controller in a scene is turned on then all controllers in that scene are turned on?  or is this a limitation to insteon and not the eisy.  ive seen other hardware that works this way

    It is an insteon limitation with KPL Buttons, which can only be controlled by a scene.

    UDM attempts to do this automatically with all devices in the Scene when using the Dim function. However UDM cannot control the KPL Buttons directly without switching the entire Scene.  If UDM were to turn on the entire scene it would go to on level not the level set by the UDM dimmer.

    So without using programs and/or variables KPL buttons can not be controlled using UDM's Scene Dim function.  

    Another option would be to use a Switch which will turn the Scene ON or OFF with respect to OnLevel.

    correct, if i send rest/nodes/38898/cmd/DON/0 the scene turns off.  if i send anything greater than 0 it turns scene on but turns on to 100% and not the value of the number

    Did you exclude the KPLs from Calculation?   The KPL Buttons (not load) only have 0% and 100% nothing in between.

    If that does not work, you likely have interference from something else such as a program.

    Scenes really have no status, they are static setpoints.  So adding to firmware may work in some situations but not all.

    Also, upon rethinking this, I don't think UDM's Scene Dim function works for KPL buttons when not set to 0% or 100%.

    There is an Insteon Limitation with KPL Buttons. Only a Scene can turn on a KPL Button, not a Direct Command.  In order for UDM to convert this static scene into a dimmer UDM sends commands to each device independently, which will not work for the KPL buttons.  However if the UDM Scene Percentage is 0% or 100% then the scene "OFF" or "ON" command is sent.

    So to show status with KPL Buttons a State Variable can be used, this way programs are not looking at dimmer/button status values.   Create a variable, then in UDM add the variable to Favorites, then change Favorite Type to Slider.  Create a new Scene for each KPL button where you want status where the Button is the only member as a Responder.  Finally create a program which observes the variable, If value > 0.  In then set all dimmers to the variable value and turn on the Scenes which contain the the single KPL buttons.   In Eles turn off the scene containing all devices.

    Note that this may require UDM gets variable status on Startup.

    Yes, I see that part. problem is that the scene turns on the devices to the on levels set in the scene.  If i want to use the dimmer in the app, the other controllers from the scene dont turn on.  and you cant dim a scene

    In UDM all Scenes as dimmers and calculates an estimated status.   Keypad buttons should have calculation ignored for this to work correctly. See: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=UD_Mobile#Scene_Estimated_Status

    If the scene is added to favorites you can change the Favorite Type to "Slider" to show as a dimmer on the Favorites Tab.

    Portal IP for communicating with eisy?

    So I upgraded my router to support 10GB LAN and WAN with a RS700 from NETGEAR. It comes with a 1 year subscription to their NETGEAR Armor by BitDefender.

    My question is what is the IP that is used to communicate with the UD App? I want to add that IP to the white list so that I don't have connection problems for suspicious behavior from an outside source. 

    Thanks,

    TRI0N

    Whitelist '*.isy.io'   where * is for all subdomains of isy.io

    Did this, process went well. Still no new phone showing up

     

    If the phone is not showing on UD-Mobile > Notifications-Tab > Setting (gear icon), then it is likely the device is signed into another Portal account.

    Multiple Account support requires that the Node Server is installed again with the API key for the other account. Edit: See Jimbo's comment below.

    Constant Subscription Settings Notification on UD Mobile

    in UD Mobile

    Posted

    Without seeing the Notification Content I'm only guessing, but I think this is the keep alive setting. Older versions of Android required a persistent (non-swipeable) notification whenever an app was running in the background. Then there are a few versions which required the notification but allowed users to swipe it away. The newest versions of Android show this in another setting (bottom of expanded settings in Running Apps).

    The default was "1" or "2", so the Notification should disappear 1 or 2 minutes after closing the app.  The setting is intended for only a few minutes,  none ("0"), or negative (infinite).  The issue with none ("0") is switching between apps will kill the connection, so on return there could delays while UDM refreshes values.

    If you are on a good internet connection and have a  small/med system you may not notice any difference between 0 or a few minutes.  If you are on a poor connection, have a large system, or have multiple systems connected to UDM then refresh may take a few dozen seconds.

    Android OS also allows users to hide these persistent notifications in Android settings if you truly want the app to run in the background and not see the notification. If I remember correctly long pressing the notification will show which types of UDM notification channels to hide.

    It is also possible that some versions of android do not remove the notification after closing. If this is true, it has not been reported.

    Outdoor Video Camera Recommendation?

    @Javi I have a Ring Stick-up Camera that I have integrated into my EISY environment with the Ring Node Server.  There is no way to add this to UD Mobile in the cameras area even though it works with EISY?

    If I remember correctly Ring API only supports short clips, not a live camera feed.  This is a Ring limitation.

    It may be possible to show short clips, but I don't think the Node Server has added this feature.

    anyone else?

    what outdoor camera are compatible with eisy and UD portal?

    or is it just "any camera that support RTSP protocol"

    thanks

     

    It should work with any rstp cameras supported by VLC App.  Do a quick Google search for the "Make/Model", "VLC" and "RSTP" to see if anyone was able to connect the Make/Model to the VLC app.

    I know Arlo cameras use proprietary rstp encryption so they will not work.  Ring does not work.

    Clear All Notifications?

    I was hoping for fewer taps to mark them read; and now we may have a additional confirmation dialog to tap.

    I understand that we all use these a bit differently:  Kentinada likes my idea, but DennisC and dex like it another way. 

    Perhaps there could be a setting asking how to mark them "read". 

    Thanks as always,

    Ross

     

    Maybe a disappearing undo button instead of confirmation.

    Suggestion:

    • Add a checkmark button above the list of notifications.
    • Tap the button to mark all notifications as read.  A confirmation dialog is recommended.
    • Dim the icon if there are no unread notifications and make the button inactive. 

     

    Will add to our list, need server side implementation before we can implement as badge updates would trigger too many refresh requests.

    I would offer up a different opinion, I prefer to click to clear the notice. There are times I'm busy and can not take corrective action right away. I like leaving the notice active as a reminder and I can go back to it right away and refresh my memory.

    I think I misunderstood the request.  The acknowledgement will only be cleared if the notification is clicked.

    Added in Android 1.1.47. Not yet implemented for iOS.

    @Kentinada  It would be nice if the blue dot went away as soon as one goes to the notification page (similar to how an email is considered read once it's looked at). 

    I'm not sure why there is the extra step of having to tap on it.

    Will try to get to this in the next few builds.

    Is the app working, besides the error during synchronization?

    The error appears to show an empty file. If the app is working, then it could be that Node Server needs to be configured before this file is populated.
