Can Can someone expand as to what the very standard method is? I have the same no IP problem using the ISY Launcher (start.jnlp) as well as the previous launcher. Roughly 20% of the time it comes up blank. I've been using an ISY for years and it's only in the year or so that this has been a problem. The problem is only on desktop PC, my laptop works perfectly every time. My PC runs on two subnets 192.168.0.1 as the primary internet connection and 192.168.1.1 for a 10Gb ethernet connection to a video server (no gateway). It's not a big deal but was wondering if this "very standard method" was sending the frame down the wrong pipe? mike

Hi, I'm just finishing up something similar as and our cheap humidistat never worked properly. Highlights below: - Note: electrical for the furnace blower also supplies power to the humidifier transformer - Polyglot MQTT and a dht11 multi-sensor for inside temperature and humidity Only run humidifier only if inside humidity level is too low Polyglot updates an ISY multi-sensor - Polyglot MQTT and Weatherunderground for outside current temperature, 1-day forecast low temperature Only run humidifier if outside temperature conditions are satisfactory to avoid window condensation which is a big problem in our area of Canada The 1-day low is used to allow time for the house to dry out Polyglot updates another ISY multi-sensor - Wrote a very simple ISY Program to control an IOLinc (NO) to turn on the humidifier When inside humidity (<25%), and outside temperature (> +5C), and forecast temperature (> -10C) conditions are satisfied This program automates a routine I used to manually set the humidistat (basically On or Off) - Bypassed the POS humidistat The most challenging part of this setup was F/C handling in the ISY. mike

There is Python-based open source sw programs available online that can be used to build a little alarm server on a RPi. An Envisalink is also required to network enable the ADT system. Basically the alarm server triggers variables in the ISY through the network module which can trigger ISY programs.

Handy in a big house...

For example: DSC armed -> Envisalink -> Alarm Server -> ISY variable -> ISY Portal -> Alexa Notification "Alarm armed"

Eyezon has a web app and i see there's one for the iPhone as well although i've never used it. Eyezon will do the monitoring for you as well. I built my own alarm server that interfaces with my isy but the Eyezon web app is handy too...

The envisalink basically looks like another keypad to the panel and shouldn't affect the dialer. I had monitoring for a period of time along with the envisalink but dropped monitoring because basically I became the monitor.

Have you looked at envialink for network connectivity on your HW? mike

I forgo the central monitoring as I found the ISY was sufficient for "central" monitoring and it avoids a monthly charge. The ISY notifies all the important people of a device failure. Of course everything is on a UPS.

I use GRI sensors in combination with my DSC alarm which is connected to my ISY. A couple of years ago it caught a failed sump pump and saved me from a big cleanup...

Ring is a cloud service so they won't allow registration of a stolen device provided you let them know. I've have a Ring doorbell hd for a couple of years with no problems.

I was in the same situation so I bought an Envisalink network interface for my DSC and found an open source Python-based interface to monitor the DSC and send notifications to the ISY Network interface. The "Alarmserver" runs on a Pi. Probably sounds complicated but it was so simple. I actually setup the same system for others in the family. You can also run EYEZON's apps and they also have a monitoring service as well. Lots of options...

Hi all, is there an update on the Canadian ISY skill for the echo? I've been running the US app, but will switch if it's available. Thanks! mike

It's been so long I had to look. I remember I ordered the kit and it came with the magnetic contact - grey and about 4 or 5 in long installed at the top of the door. The only options I used were Momentary A (2 sec) and LED on Tx. I'd have to get a ladder to confirm NO or NC.

Interesting set of posts. This is one of the first programs I wrote years ago and I have never experienced random door opening or reversals. I actually have two programs, one for monitoring and another that actually triggers the relay. The first program turns on the indoor lights and sends an email notification as well. The second program is set to disabled but still runs when called explicitly by the monitoring program.

Hi Teken, I have about 10 other port forwards (cams, sip, etc) which were all working perfectly, just the ISY (Mobilinc, Portal) was having a problem. The Gmail TLS issue also confused things. The ISY always had a dhcp address, but I made it static while trying to debug the problem - it didn't help. So I changed it back to dhcp and deleted reservation and did a reboot of the ISY but it picked up the same IP again. That's when I figured it was time to factory reset it. I've had the ISY for over 5 years and never had a problem, it's been absolutely rock solid...

Update - I checked Teken's items and all seemed ok, so I reluctantly reset the ISY to factory and performed a restore. All ok now (but monitoring) - thanks for the help!

No, it just quit, but an ISY reboot and all is ok for about 3 minutes...

I'm having an interesting problem. I've used my ISY for years and it has worked well with zero problems. However, I'm currently experiencing a problem accessing my ISY through Mobilinc, Portal and I've lost my email notifications as well - basically everything internet. A reboot fixes the problem but then it fails again after a few minutes. My access from the internet is a simple redirect port forward from 8888 to 443 and this has worked perfectly since I got the device. My email test says Mail server TLS negotiation failure. Portal says the ISY is disconnected. I have no problems accessing the dashboard through the desktop app. I checked the logs and I do see 2017/10/01 11:19:20 System -170001 [uDSockets] HTTP:49 error:6, but my understanding is this error is informational, but I may be wrong. I thought about doing a factory reset and restore but I thought I would check with the experts if they had any ideas. Thanks in advance and let me know if you need further information. mike

Hi Michel, I screwed up, the laptop with MS Edge browser I was testing did not have the Creators update and it is working fine with Edge IE and FF (ESR). My other laptop with the Creators update is throwing a "error, Loading: /config/" in Edge. IE presents a blank screen. FF (ESR) is fine. Sorry for the confusion! mike

Hi Michel, I'm running 4.5.1. While checking I noticed there was an update to 4.5.4 and that update fixed it. Thanks! mike

Hi, I get an error using MS Edge but I'm not sure it's specific to the Creators Update. Edge gets stuck on: "error, Loading: /config/" I use Firefox 52.0.2 ESR (32 bit) as my main browser and all features work fine. mike

Hi all, I just received an update 52 for Firefox and it removed npapi for the java browser plugin among other things. Now it seems only IE supports the java plugin. Is there a long-term plan to move off the java platform? Are there other options? Thanks for the help! mike

I don't mind subs, but they have to be affordable and echo integration is too pricey for me so it won't happen. I'll have figure something else out...

Thanks for the reply. While investigating, I checked my ISY firmware updates and noticed the UI was not up to date but the firmware was (4.3.26). I updated the UI to the same release and all good now. mike
