Does anyone have a great programming idea to make every switch a countdown? I.e. (1) user turns on the light at the switch paddle (2) ISY sees this switch-on command (3) ISY stores the current_time and adds a certain amount of mins to a variable, say lightA_offtime (4) If current_time > lightA_offtime, then turn off lightA. (5) additionally if user press the light switch on paddle twice, it cancels the lightA_offtime. (6) if user turns off switch at paddle before lightA_offtime expires, cancell the lightA_offtime. I'll like to implement this for all light switches. The current_time can be a variable that increments every 30 secs. needs to account from wrap-around. I wish this can be a built-in function in ISY.

I've tried the swapping Control and Status lines. Yes, the program is enabled. ISY is able to control both the 'Balcony' and 'Driveway' device. I'll check the last run time later and post back. Another thing is, would it be better to use "is not switched On" rather than "is switched Off" with dimmers.

I'm using the following code to use one icon dimmer to control another. I'm trying to accomplish this. If the 'Balcony' is Off and I press the Off button on that Switch, the it will turn off the 'Driveway' icon dimmer. Somehow, it is not working. Does it have to do with Icon dimmers. I know, I have it working with Icon Relay switches sucessfully. If Control 'Balcony' is switched Off and Status 'Balcony' is Off Then Set 'Driveway' Off Else - No Actions - Chin Lee

Cool. Besides arm/disarm, what else can you do? Can you get panel status? Zone Status?

I have a ICON plugin relay that occasionally locks up. When I login to Admin console it tells me the device is not responding. I want a program that will send me and email when it detects a device has stopped responding. Anyone has an idea?

Michel, I noticed my lights did not come on automatically at Sunset-30mins. So I checked the logs and I saw that it tried to turn on the Living Room and Family Room lights but there's a -2 on the Log column. What does that mean?

I was just talking about the same thing on the other forum http://forum.universal-devices.com/view ... 6&start=30

I've just added triggerlinc and using 2.7.4. I used triggerlinc to sense my garage door opening and turn on the garage light. Then turn off the garage light 10 mins after the garage door closes. However, I noticed it takes 3-seconds for the light to turn on from the time the magnetic was removed from the triggerlinc. Is this typical of RF insteon or just because the ISY-99i ?

Hi, thanks for the reply. That's a great use for N800. I've read about the HTML interface mentioned but I have no idea how to use it. What's the URL to get to it?

Is there a way to interact with ISY-99i with a non Java computer like a Nokia N800. I also have a really old windows CE tablet PC. Chin-Sieh

grfnd, That's a great idea to monitor the temp of water return. My system does not use a cold water return. It's a retrofit and it uses the same cold water pipe. It's very effective and works fine. My pump is a watts premier hot water recirculating pump and it retrofits to any home that does not already have the return cold water line.

I've changed to using "run program". It seems to work better but still not there. As you can see it runs it at 8:00 and the turns it off a 8:10. But at 8:10 is turns it rught back on. Same action at 9:00 and 9:10. Wht's turning it back on. Hot W. Recirc Pump (09.A4.A1. On 255 3/9/08 8:00 Scheduler Log Hot W. Recirc Pump (09.A4.A1. Off 0 3/9/08 8:10 Scheduler Log Hot W.

I have a hot-water recirculating pump that I want to run at certains times for 10-mins at a time. I.e. at 7am, 8am, 9am, 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 4pm, 5pm, 7pm, 8pm, 9pm, 10pm and 11pm. I have this script: IF { time is "7:00 AM" OR time is "8:00 AM" OR time is "9:00 AM" OR time is "11:00 AM" OR time is "12:00 PM" OR time is "1:00 PM" OR time is "4:00 PM" OR time is "5:00 PM" OR time is "7:00 PM" OR time is "8:00 PM" OR time is "9:00 PM" OR time is "10:00 PM" OR time is "11:00 PM" } AND Status 'Hot water Pump' is Off Then Set 'How Water Pump' On Wait 10 minutes Set 'How Water Pump' Off Else - No Actions - ( To add one, press 'Action') However, I have plug in a night-light on it and it appears to be always on. What am I doing wrong. If I manually turn it off, it will turn on at 8:00AM but will not turn off again. CSLee
