Everything works fine, on off etc. but as soon as they are in the 'off' mode .. all 3 separate 2456S's b;ink every so many seconds .. quite annoying. I have a large setup, and everything else is working fine, besides the 3 led strips, i disabled (i think) the load sensing on them, no change. The led strips are on wall - 2456S - 12V - dimmer - led strips I tried to remove one of them, one at a time to see if there was one maybe bad, no luck. Anyone might have an idea what is going on here, how to troubleshoot or how to fix ? thanks !

nope, that seems a long way to get where i want. if any isy is seen as a separate 'user' wunderground shouldn't charge fees, maybe a decentralized approach pulling data from http(s) is more feasible? have been playing around but get a ton of data using wget, the most relevant ones at least .. just need to parse that and assign the vars, would that be something to consider ?

bought the weather mod waaaaay back when (i thought it was wunderground back then) ..not sure what happened or i am just wrong, BUT .. HAM sucks .. can we get a wunderground compatible plugin/mod ? i have had my PWS up and runnign for a long time, figured i'd finally run it into ISY ..poef .. no workey. Seems to be this should be fairly easy to add, parsing a URL, and grabbing the right values .. i'm willing to help, let me know

works like a champ ...! .. i'm still open for suggestions to do this on (1) program thanks

all, i'm having not much luck with trying, and i am guessing i am not using the right search terms. i'd like for the hidden door sensors to only beep if after 7 seconds the door is still open. --------- if control sensor is on <for 7 seconds> then set buzzer relay on wait 1 second set buzzer relay off else set buzzer off i tried a few things but it isn't straight forward, i can;t use wait statements in [if] for example anyone have an idea that works ?

looks like it was the software .... i hooked the PLM on a mac (serial2USB dongle) , ran indigo lite .. no problems .. dove in the software and found it was poking com3, not 4 as it was supposed to. changed it and rebooting now .. we'll know shortly

Got the Cable !! Thanks Brian H. ! Seems to be connecting now ... no more strange errors .. except it's still not working .. i still can't control anything with castleOS it will not link any devices from the software to the PLM .. hope to have some more time later this week to run a few more tests ....

im trying to use/test CastleOS, from a windows 7 64bit ... it won't talk to the plm 'connection problems' if anyone out there is reading this and has a cable .. hit me up

yup, old network cable is what i used .. i just cut all of them (other than the ones needed) on the DB-9 side

I tried both com1 and com2 before i moved to the usb2serial adapter, which turned out to be com3 after installing it. nothing responds .. i even tested the cable/pinout with a multimeter to ensure i had end to end connection.. is there anywhere that anyone knows where i can buy a cable ? thanks !!!

Hope someone can figure out what i am doing wrong here .. i'm trying to connect my 2413S PLM to a PC, with the pin-out that's listed on the board a couple of times, to tryout castle OS .. so i'm bypassing my ISY994, which works like a champ! for the test i build a cable as follows: RJ45 pin 1 goes to DB-9 pin 2 RJ45 pin 7 goes to DB-9 pin 5 RJ45 pin 8 goes to DB-9 pin 3 For some reason.. i cannot connect to the PLM, i even got a USB-serial cable thinking the one and only comport on the pc might have been busted .. so far no go on either port.

thats it !!! it was starting at 'then' not at 'if' so it always send the on to the relay.... AWESOME thanks guys ! if there is any easy way to copy paste the statements out of the ISY, i'll post em ...

i am using the phone to flip the 'armhouse' var (for now) using mobilinc, i simply change the armhouse from 0 > 1 to initiate the logic. that starts, (works) if $armhouse is 1 then run program close-garage which has if garagedoorstatus_int = 0 set garagedoor open-close on i moved it to an integer var .. and guess what .. it works now, no more funky behavior while the door is opening/closing.. thanks !!! that's half the battle fixed. BUT now even despite the state of the integer var, even when the door is closed (0) it still runs the 'then' while it should not and thus opens the door it doesn't seem to care either 0 or 1 it will still run the set garagedoor open-close on. i do see the garagedoorstatus_int behaving nicely .. its 1 for open, and 0 for close... thanks guys !

i have been trying to get a master 'arm-house' program, problem is with the garagedoor sensor ... for some reason it keeps flipping the variable while the door is closing .. for close status; if controle garage-door-sensor is switched on then $garagedoor status is 0 and reversed for open; if controle garage-door-sensor is switched off then $garagedoor status is 1 then to close the door (only if it's open) i use if controle garage-door-sensor is switched on then set garagedoor open-close on (the relay) for 'master control is use if $armhouse is 1 then run program close-garage and if i flip the amrhouse var from 0 (house unarmed) to 1 (armed) it works fine .. but randomly the garage sensor kicks in and stops the door halfway etc. am i going about this the wrong way ?
