I have a 2-story home but all one zone. Don't ask me why! So depending on the schedule, I have certain sensors in the calculation. Home: - Builtin sensor and living room Nighttime: - master bedroom only OR - master bedroom and guest bedroom Morning: - master bedroom only OR - master bedroom and guest bedroom Away: - all sensors Then I have a "run blower" program is the upstairs and downstairs temps are too far apart (and I am home).

I'll voice my support for the Ecobee3. I've deployed 4 remote sensors around the house. However, there is no local API for the Ecobee. It requires a cloud connection. Ugh.

Yes I'm an engineer! And there seems to be a discrepancy with the command numbers. I have found different sources with different values. Trial and error, unfortunately. You'll be happy with V5, you can have a node server to control all these.

I think this will get you what you want: Position 1: http://192.168.1.6:80/decoder_control.cgi?command=31&user=Duck225&pwd=Chicken193 Position 2: http://192.168.1.6:80/decoder_control.cgi?command=33&user=Duck225&pwd=Chicken193 To create an ISY network resource for preset 2: http GET Host = 192.168.1.6 Port = 80 Path = /decoder_control.cgi?command=33&user=Duck225&pwd=Chicken193 Timeout = 500 As a picture: These work for my SmartHome 75790 camera (really a Foscam) running: Device Firmware Version 11.37.2.59 Device Embeded Web UI Version 2.1.10.9

Have Alexa issue program commands, instead of targeting the device/scene itself.

To add to what others said, if you want to keep things mostly as they are, you already have a program to turn D on. It could turn it off too. If Status 'Overhead Lights' is On Or Status 'Family Room A switch' is On Or Status 'Family Room B switch' is On Or Status 'Family Room C switch' is On Then Set Scene 'Toggle D' On Else Set Scene 'Toggle D' Off

If you are turning the switch "fast on" then Switch1 is an Insteon switch right? Is Switch2 Insteon as well? If you run the program from the Admin Console (right click and choose "Run Then" how long does it take?) Is "Wait while busy reading" checked under Configuration -> System -> System?

Can you see the "device" in the Alexa app, or at http://alexa.amazon.com ?

Sounds like your PLM may have lost links. How old is it? Do other devices update when you control them manually? You might need to run "Restore PLM" to get the links back. If that helps, it is possible that your PLM is failing.

Actually, with the later releases (5.0.7 for sure) you can combine protocols in a scene (at least rudimentary z-wave and insteon). For example, I have a scene with a KPL button as contoller, and a Z-Wave deadbolt (unlocked) as responder. The ISY knows to "forward" the scene when I activate it from the KPL. You may be able to combine Insteon and a Hue (node server) entry in a scene. I can try when I get home.

As you mentioned, we won't get into alarm vs ISY. In general, what you are trying to do might be better achieved with variables, then have a program that is triggered by the motion sensor. That program would set the variable to 1, wait a bit (maybe 5 seconds?), then set it back to 0. Then instead of testing for individual status, test for variables. And your "arm" programs can force variables to 0, disable/stop current programs, allow you time to exit, then enable programs. Since these are Z-Wave, you only have "status = On" for the programs conditions, so you have to take that into account. If they are Insteon motion sensors, you'd have "control is switch on" as well. I'm not sure if 5.x will bring "control" to z-wave sensors (I hope it does).

ISY doesn't use the actual names to identify programs. It uses Program ID. The "name" is just to make it easy to read. If you delete a program, and immediately recreate a program, ISY will reuse the Program ID. You might still have a program disabling the program referenced by the same ID? So when you go to Programs -> Summary, right click on any program, and select "Find/Replace" - then look for the program(s) that are being disabled, they don't show up in any other programs?

Unfortunately, if you already deleted the old device, you can't use the following to replace a failed device: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Replacing_a_Device For the new device, in the Admin Console, does it show that the device is controller/responder for any scene? Since you mention " If I do a scene add to the button" - It sounds like you already have a scene defined, and the RemoteLinc (RL) button is a controller for that scene. Since a device can only be a controller for one scene, just add the new LampLinc to that scene.

Given that you (usually) can't get to the buttons on a FanLinc when it's installed, how would it be a controller? If you want to be able to set the speed of a FanLinc (directly in an app or Admin Console), and have a KPL light up to indicate the speed, you can't do that. You need to use a scene and program. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/19599-alexa-and-the-fanlinc/?hl=speed&do=findComment&comment=184684

Any chance you have Mobilinc Connect, and setup a push notification for when the program runs?

Yes, a program with no waits will continue and finish. However, the original poster had just 1 program listed, with waits, that was disabling and enabling itself. I updated my earlier post to make it more clear.

I just created test programs. I put a wait in the first program. The second program disabled the first. When I ran Program2, it disabled Program1 which also stopped. Confirmed by Michel here: http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/5467-stop-and-disable-for-programs-folder-enableddisable/?p=43022

Doesn't disabling a program also stop it if it is running (and in a wait)? Since you are using a program to disable itself, and waiting, how does it ever get going again?

Like Teken said, don't use it in programs/scenes. If you are really concerned about accidentally turning it off, write a program to turn it back on: If 'TopOutlet' Status is Off Then Set 'TopOutlet' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I don't have an Elk, so just guessing. Is there some state between "Disarmed" and "Armed"? I know my DSC panel goes Disarmed -> Exit Delay -> Armed. Also, if the parameters don't change synchronously (even a small delay) will mean that those things won't pass the IF test, and cause the other program to trigger? It seems like "Elk Output 'Output 065' must be getting set to "On" before the other two entries change. I'd try adding a small 'wait' to the start of each THEN. Just 5 seconds might do it. That will give the ISY time to get the variables in sync and things to settle.

I haven't used the Mobilinc Portal for years. Have a look at the threads in this section of the forum, and ask questions there: http://forum.universal-devices.com/forum/98-isy-portal/

Also, If you have the ISY Portal, you get the use of the Network Module for the length of your ISY Portal subscription.

To do it locally, yes, I believe you do.

The above referenced items are done completely on the ISY. The subject "@webpage" tells the ISY it's not an email, but instead a file. If you want to send it externally, you could send it as a regular notification, and then parse it. If you want both ISY and external, you would need 2 notifications. I write some things to nice HTML tables, and some things to CSV files. Then if I want, I can copy things via curl onto my Raspberry Pi and have the CSV files there for easy processing.

I missed that earlier, but yes! I log temps as follows in my notification: Body: <tr><td>${sys.date}</td><td>${sys.time24}</td><td>${mod.weather.temp.current}</td><td>${mod.weather.temp.feelslike}</td><td>${mod.weather.temp.high}</td><td>${mod.weather.temp.low}</td><td>${mod.weather.humidity}</td><td>${mod.weather.wind.direction}</td><td>${mod.weather.wind.speed}</td><td>${mod.weather.cloud.condition}</td><td>${mod.weather.rain.today}</td></tr> Gives me a nice table: Date Time Temp Feels like High Low Humidity Wind Dir Speed Cloud condition Rain Today 2016/08/16 10:00:00 72 F 72 F 72 F 64 F 69 % WNW 5 mph 1 0 inches Note: It's formatted properly in an HTML, but the forum software doesn't like it. I attached a pic of how it looks in a browser.
