I like this. So you could also run the suspension program from your phone (while at the fire pit with a beer in hand)? Would you mind posting a copy of your code (or at least the relevant part)?

OK, I've had my external flood lights controlled with a couple of motion sensors for quite some time. They work very well with my logic. Basically, if during night hours, a MS detects movement, it turns on a scene that pops all 4 sets of floods on. I then have it wait for 7 minutes, and then it turns the scene back off. I know this probably isn't the best, but it has worked very well the past few years. Here is the problem. We have a fire pit and the lights obviously pop on and off when we sit out there. Most of the time, I just disable the program from my phone and turn the lights on or off. Sometimes, I might be a little "disabled" myself when coming in from the firepit and I forget to reactivate the program. I've gone a week or so forgetting to re-enable it. What would be some suggestions of how I could fortify this program a little bit? I'm guessing I could temporarily disable it and have it reactivate in a couple of hours, or ??? Could we use variables, or ??? Maybe even use my keypadlinc to help? Please give me some suggestions!

Good call. My mistake.

I have several Hikvision cameras that record to an NVR. For a long time, these have worked very nicely by viewing them with Mobilinc. I recently added a Dahua camera and I cannot connect to it via Moblinc. In the camera settings for the Hikvisions (which operate correctly), I have the local http:// filled in plus the port number. I also have an 'Away http://' and port. For example, it's something like: http://33.44.55.xyz. I also have a port number which is correctly open in my router. When I do the exact same thing for the dahua camera, it's not viewable outside the home network. Any suggestions?

This is going to have to wait until I get back from vacation. I have a TON to get done in a short amount of time. Airgap reset on the one switch is all it took. Both switches working as intended. I boxed up a TON of CFL bulbs about 2 weeks ago. Read how bad they are with HA. I installed a bunch of led bulbs.

OK, I'm going to go for a walk 1st thing when I get home. Great, I'll check this stuff out too. I have a ton to do tonight before vacation! Circling back - what happens when a dimmerlinc fails? Can it cause power line communication issues? My kitchen has the one that started acting funny.... Just curious of what others have experienced when a dimmerlinc fails...

I don't understand. Are you suggesting 'syncing with ISY' in mobilinc? Full download or update only? I have a couple of dual band DimmerLincs not too far away. I do have plans to install a couple more, hopefully that solves it.

Haha, thank you. Correct, the door sensor no longer controls the GDO... They are both working independently as they used to. But, I'm stilling getting bogus readings from my isy and mobilinc on my phone.

But.... I don't think I'm outta the woods yet though. At dinner, I checked a couple of times to see if my Mobilinc pro would work. My start screen is my camera and they would pull up, but then Mobilinc would just suddenly close. Unfortunately, as I sit here testing some stuff in the administration console on my PC, it just unexpectedly shut off. Now what?!? I definately feel this is related to my left hand approach of replacing a PLM. Again, only I can mess up a simple job that easy. What should I check now? Edit - Looking at mobilinc on my phone, it shows certain devices as turned off even when they are on. This is making me circle back to the POE cameras. I have 2 of them that run off of a POE injector. Basically, that's a power pack that is new to my system. I don't have time to disable / check those tonight - I'll have to wait until tomorrow night. Have these ever been the source of RF noise for anyone else? I'm just trying to think of what is new to my network. I do have a new large power strip that my isy is plugged into. My PLM is plugged into a dedicated outlet. I've gotta hit the sack tonight.

What a stressful night. Running late to mother in law's bday dinner, ordered a chicken sandwich and it came out with a huge hair on it. Kind of lost my appetite so I just ate some waffle fries. Then I get a call and have to separate from family to run back to work. Wait for 90 minutes while some mechanical workers inspect building for gas leak. Just thinking of the time I could be working on my HA setup. Leaving on vacation shortly so I want my insteon stuff working while I'm away! Anyway, brought the i/o linc inside and tried in an outlet near the PLM and it connected! Took it outside and reinstalled it. Tested ok. Does that mean I've got some new RF noise out in the garage area?

Could this all be related to the PLM that I just installed? It was a Amazon warehouse purchase, so there's no telling what could be wrong with it. Everything else seems to be working well. the date code on the new PLM is 4615.

ok, tried the extension cord into the house and I'm getting the same response about failed insteon engine. Kitchen issue - 2 dimmerLincs on different loads. Used to work independently just fine. Now, when I turn out the kitchen cans, it takes out the kitchen pendants at the same time.

I recently added a wired POE camera system and a wifi camera. Could this be a noise source? LED bulbs are new, but should be ok. Here is another weird thing that started happening... Kitchen has 2 dimmerLincs that have worked great for 3 years. A while ago, I noticed when I would turn one of those switches off, both circuits would shut off. Could this be a failed switch causing noise? No baby monitors.... What are some other common sources of noise? edit - I do have a fluorescent shop light hanging from the ceiling. Bulbs look good and seems operational.

Teken & Techman, Thank you for your responses. OK, might try the extension cord tonight (because it's still all wired up to the opener). CFL bulbs - I just recently replaced a TON of cfls with new LED bulbs. I don't think I have any cfls left. It's worked for 3 years and my other door opener is fine (although plugged in 20 feet away on another outlet in the ceiling).
