What were your nest variables? State or integer? Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk

If you have an "at home" variable that is triggered by a geofence (AutoLocation with Tasker on Android or MobiLinc and an iPhone) you can use that variable to set away mode on the thermostat when the variable reaches a point that you aren't home.. Mine would be AtHome=0 I would be more then happy to help if you'd like. If you have Android, I'm very experienced with that, if we run into issues on an iPhone, we can always ask InsteonNut for help. I also wrote a script on eventghost for away mode triggered by a non-pingable IP address if you'd like to go that route. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk

There was a new plugin version and I reprogrammed the scripts to allow control with this version. There has also been extensive editing done to the original post. Included new method for new/non users of EventGhost.

Also, you may want to check out my blog at http://wordpress.tinozplace.com .. It has a lot of other neat things I have done with my thermostat that will make the average Nest owner drool. Here is a video.. http://wordpress.tinozplace.com/2013/08 ... in-action/ My nest widget is now for sale in the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... nestwidget

Take a look at all the things the Nest plugin can do.. If you want a quick python script: Change object 38 to your desired object (obtained from the nest plugin) testvar = str(eg.plugins.Nest.get_object(38)) print testvar that will print (on the log) any of the values.. If you try to execute them on their own you don't get a returned value

You have the prefix set wrong on the ISYPlugin... Open that plugin up and at the bottom, you'll see "Insteon" for the prefix, change it to ISYEvent After that, you are good to go

Home/Away is definitely doable... The scripts are attached to this post.. In the "Read ISY Event" Python Script, you need to change "if VarNum == "1":" to the variable number that you have for your home/away status In the "Set Away Status to Nest" Python Script, you'll need to change: if awaystatus == "0": eg.plugins.Nest.set_away(1) You need to change the awaystatus == "0": to your value when you are away from home And here: if awaystatus == "1": eg.plugins.Nest.set_away(0) You need to change the awaystatus == "1": to your value when you are at home Done! ------------------------- I had a feeling that someone would ask for this, and it was easy in comparison to the things you can actually do with that Nest Plugin. I hope you enjoy it.

If you have an always on Windows computer, this is the solution for you. See: http://WordPress.tinozplace.com

viewtopic.php?f=26&t=13360&p=104624#p104624 I figured I would let people know that I posted this. Not sure how many of you look in the "How-To" forum. Any questions, please post in the above thread

************************** Weather data: Temperature, Weather Conditions (number coded, read below), heat index, length of day and, request data from ISY. With each of the items listed above, you will need to add a variable to your ISY Variable table if you don't currently have them. Then follow the instructions below. All major weather conditions are coded in numbers: Clear = 0 Partly Cloudy = 1 Mostly Cloudy = 2 Drizzle = 3 Rain = 4 Snow = 5 Thunderstorms = 6 If you want to turn a light on several minutes before sunset if the weather is "dark" you could set a program like this: if: WeatherCondition > 2 AND It's 2 hours and 30 minutes before sunset Then: Turn L/R Lamp to 40% All the rest of the weather objects are pretty self-explanatory, feel free to use these in any programs you'd like. My new favorite program is: If $Ambient_Temp is not 0 And $AtHome is not 0 And $Sleeping is 0 And From Sunrise To Sunset (same day) And ( $Outdoor_Temp > 89 Or $Heat_Index > 99 ) Then $Temp_Difference = 0 $Temp_Difference -= $Set.Temp $Temp_Difference += $Ambient_Temp Also, the program to read the temperature difference: If $Temp_Difference > 1 Then $Set.Temp += 1 $Temp_Difference = 0 *************************** The new and old news...... Currently, there is no official API with the Nest Thermostat. However, that hasn't been inhibiting development on other platforms. Yesterday, I finalized some macros to use with EventGhost and a specialized ISY plugin that I modified to allow control of your Nest Thermostat. This plugin watches the ISY's events and, the macros I wrote translate these into ways to control your Nest thermostat. Any experienced person with Python knowledge could easily alter this script to watch for other variable changes but I'm not going to go into that. So, here we go! To start with, download EventGhost from http://eventghost.org. Next download the "NestISYv80" zip file from http://www.tinozplace.com/Nestv80.zip, then extract it a new folder.

It was getting power until I noticed that the PLM just dies out after a little while. Smarthome wouldn't take it back so I pulled Pin2 off it and powered it with the adapter. The 2412S is just blinking now not allowing me to get to the ISY admin page. It's done, I've given up and ordered a 2413S. Not all too happy about this whole thing...

I am pretty sure that I have a bad PLM but I need more verification before I buy a new one. It's a 2412S and it was working perfectly before this weekend. To start, I had some big problems with the ZWave, it wouldn't find the lock on Saturday night. By Sunday evening around 5-8pm it lost all status reporting. I reset the PLM with the set button, I factory reset the PLM and since then, it's hasn't been able to relink all my devices. Linking up the Zwave lock just won't happen, it always gives me an error 1. The PLM does blink when motion sensors are tripped or switches are turned on/off.. The links table gives different results, the PLM restore gives failures of all types. Very frustrated

If you have a computer near the stereo, you can use the Media Center remote control receiver and put an "eye" near your iR window. Then just use eventghost to send iR commands to it.. Also, use the eventghost webserver to receive commands from the ISY using the network module. Then write a program such as "if kpl button 8 is pressed" then network resource "eventghost send power on/off to stereo" If you decide to do this, I'll be glad to give you more help. I do it myself and it is perfect every time You can save a lot of money and do this instead of investing in an itach. Sent from my XT926 using Tapatalk 4

I have this problem frequently as well. I kill the browser task using task manager (fastest method) and all is well after that. Sent from my XT926 using Tapatalk 4

I fixed it... One of the other network resources was apparently interfering with the command.. I can't really tell if it was the ISY or just my network traffic. Amongst the weirdest of problems I've had with networking. The solution was to wait 10 seconds after my initial network commands went through, then initiate the turn sequence. To diagnose it, I went to a bare minimum to ONLY turn the camera. Then added Network resources; one by one, then started adding delays to get the end result of 10 seconds after everything else is finished. The way it's supposed to go is, the phone sends /rest/2/10/4, which initiates the program. The next to last step of the program it sets "10" to 1.. I was FORCED to put this AFTER the 10 second delay, otherwise the program would not finish and turn the camera back. I can only deduce that it may be a problem with concurrent Network Modules being addressed at once. Which still doesn't tell me if it's the ISY or not.

I have a 8918W and I try to direct it away from the house when I get home. There are presets that the ISY has pre-programmed into the Network Resources.. If I issue a HTTP REST statement to change the variable, all the rest of the network resources complete except for the camera turning back into position. It looks as if it gets interrupted midstream by something and stops it's movement immediately within about 1 second after it starts. I can't figure out why that would happen. The ISY is the ONLY way I've employed the camera to turn back to position 8. The HTTP Get command in the network resources is: http://myip:myport/decoder_control.cgi? ... d=password I might also add, it goes to position 1 perfectly fine.

I'm new on the scene and have a Harmony 890, there are only 16 codes built in for that. Why?

You are quite welcome. I love the things that Tasker allows you to do.. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to PM me..

This is possible actually, I've done it several ways. For example, my camera uploads a picture to my website every three seconds. If the motion sensor trips, it tells my phone and then the phone downloads the latest picture of my website and posts it into a notification on my android phone. Demo: http://WordPress.tinozplace.com Look for "Fun with android notifications" Things needed: Tasker AutoRemote AutoNotification. If you get those, I'll help you out with inserting a picture into your notification.

Nevermind... It was a different EG plugin that wasn't allowing me to exit properly.

There is one problem left with this plugin in it's last form, there seems to be an error on exit, it's not "releasing" properly and keeps eventghost open forever on exit. Other than that, it works perfect. Can anyone take a look? __init__.zip
