More info can be found here: http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/10122-402-network-module-create-web-pages-using-programs/ Note: I think it requires the Network Module. Essentially, you create a "notification" with the following: From: Subject: @webpage:@append:hvacmins.htm Body: ${sys.date} ${sys.time24} ${var.1.33} minutes (var.1.33 would needed to be changed according to your variable..see here: http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-994i_Series:EMail_and_Networking_Substitution_Variables#User_Variables ) Then have a program "send" that notification whenever you want. Maybe every night at midnight. The above notification would append to the file "hvacmins.txt" with something like the following: 2016/08/16 00:00:00 47 minutes You could then access the file via: http://ISYIP/user/web/hvacmins.htm

i chose to do that since it's way less entries in the ISY portal, and I can use the regular controls in mobile apps, while still keeping KPLs in sync.

Create variables CoolMinutes and HeatMinutes. If 'Downstairs / Downstairs Thermostat' Heat/Cool State is Cooling Then Repeat Every 1 minute $CoolMinutes += 1 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Do the same for heating. Then you can email them to yourself every day at some time and reset them. Or create another variable and use that to sum every day. Could also sum every week. Write them to a file on ISY to you can look at it via a web browser.

I have a device named "Downstairs Fan" I can say: "Alexa, turn on Downstairs fan" -> High "Alexa, turn on Downstairs fan to 51-99%" -> Medium "Alexa, turn on Downstairs fan to 1-50%" -> Low "Alexa, turn off Downstairs fan" -> Off Out of habit, I use On/66/33/Off since it's easy to remember. I have separate programs that track the speed of the fan. They wait 5 seconds, then call the scene the corresponds to the speed the fan it running. This way KPL buttons sync (with a short delay).

I use Prowl for all my push notifications on iOS. https://www.prowlapp.com

Since i think you are running 5.x, if you have NodeLink and ISYData running, an easier Program2 would be: New Program - [ID 00DC][Parent 0001] If 'ISY Data' Minutes is 0 Then Run Program 'Arm (Away)' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

if you wanted it at the top of every hour, I'd use 2 programs. Program1 is disabled. If 'Alarm / Partition 1' Status is Disarmed Then Repeat Every 60 minutes Send Notification to 'Jack Only' content 'Security System Not Armed' Else Repeat Every 60 minutes Send Notification to 'Jack Only' content 'Security System Armed' Program2 runs every hour New Program - [ID 00DC][Parent 0001] If Time is 1:00:00AM Or Time is 2:00:00AM Or Time is 3:00:00AM ..... Or Time is 12:00:00AM Then Run Program 'Program1' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Do you want to be notified at the top of every hour? Or every 60 min from the time the state changes? If 'Alarm / Partition 1' Status is Disarmed Then Repeat Every 60 minutes Send Notification to 'Jack Only' content 'Security System Not Armed' Else Repeat Every 60 minutes Send Notification to 'Jack Only' content 'Security System Armed' You'd then set it to run at startup. If the alarm never changes from disarmed, you will get a notification every 60 min (from whenever ISY boots) telling you it is not armed. The moment it arms, you will get a text, then a text every 60 min from that point. If you want to be notified at the top of every hour what the status is, that would be a a different program.

I just upgraded to V2. Echo is set to Metric=Off. My thermostat (a Trane Z-Wave TZEMT043AB32MAA) was in Cool mode, coolpoint 74 F, room temp 75 F, not calling for cooling. I said "Decrease the thermostat's temperature" and watched in the admin console. The cool point was set to 72, and the thermostat immediately started to call for cooling. I would have expected it to go to 73, not 72? I did a test to set it to 73...worked fine. Now I'm at cool point 73, room temp at 74, calling for cooling I said "Increase thermostat's temperature" and the cool point went to 75. Is that right? I would have expected it to go to 74.

You can expose the REST interface with Transparent ISY Proxy running on a RaspberryPi. https://sites.google.com/site/isyajax/other-tools-php-code

Did you follow the PLM replacement procedure? Be sure to follow it closely. http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:File_Menu#Replace_Modem_.28PLM.29

This my be a configuration error on my part (I had the Hue emulator still running, even though I thought I was using the ISY Portal. I can no longer turn a scene off. For example, I have a "cooking" scene for the kitchen defined in the portal. Then I run "discover" and Alexa find its. I can ask Alexa to turn the scene on ("Alexa, turn on cooking") if I need more light and my hands are full. However, I can no longer say "Alexa, turn off cooking" - no error, no chime, the blue ring on the Echo just turns off like nothing happened). If I say "Alexa, tell Izzy to turn off cooking" I get the response "turn off which device?" If I answer with "cooking" I still get the same prompt. If I answer with a regular device name ("couch lights") then I get a proper response/action (couch lights turn off and the Echo responds with "Ok turning off couch lights"). Am I going crazy? Was it just my Hue emulator doing the "off" actions before?

I already have 3 wireless Foscams, so I'm going to start with those. I'd prefer a wired solution, but hey, these were easy and I got them cheap! I'm planning to put them on a separate/isolated network, not accessible from the internet.

Great, that helps a lot! I too wasn't happy with the commercial ones. I will look into ZM over the weekend.

Might I ask which brand/model NVR you have? I've started to look into this, but haven't done a deep dive.

What are you trying to do? The HTTP request in your screenshot doesn't do anything, it just gets the status of light 1. ISY can't get/parse that status. To change light state, you would need to do a PUT of something like: Path: /api/<username>/lights/1/state Body: { "on":true, "bri":255 }

Great, thanks!!

Is is possible to access ISY with Home Automation Dashboard via the portal instead of UD Ajax? Or is that not possible since the HTML files live on the ISY? I only ask because I have a number of devices in folders, based on rooms, and within the rooms they have some names repeated (such as "Ceiling Fan"). Since UD Ajax doesn't use folders, I just have 4 "Ceiling Fans" in the portal, and I don't know which is which. My goal is to allow guest access and limit it, and have HAD only show what I want users to see.

I usually buy during a SmartHome sale. There's one coming up! Given the feature set of Insteon, I don't think their pricing them so much differently than Z wave competitors such as Leviton Vizia RF+. In fact, I found them to be cheaper than comparable items. (Full disclosure: I haven't had to purchase items in over a year!) Often times SmartHome will have multi packs for a discount as well. Usually those are excluded from percent off sales. Sometimes Costco does too. They currently do not have LampLincs, except in the starter kit with a hub.

Unfortunately, the answer is the same. Z-Wave multichannel will be coming sometime in 5.X.

I had my Ubi programmed with something similar, to enable/disable guest mode. The Ubi can echo back parameters, so it could take a string "Disable guest mode authorization $1" - so if I said something like "Disable guest mode authorization pi one one alpha" then the Ubi would respond with "Authorization pi one one alpha confirmed. Guest mode deactivated."

Z-Wave devices can be controlled the same as Insteon devices. Locks are different, see here: http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/12373-lock-unlock-with-rest-interface/?hl=secmd&do=findComment&comment=101099 and here: http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/13250-rest-lock-control/?hl=secmd&do=findComment&comment=109116

Using the included "configurator.html" makes it easier to setup the emulator. For the best experience, change the "Bridge server" if needed. On line 18, change "localhost" to the IP where the Hue emulator runs. Then open it in a web browser, The file it setup to configure a Vera, but you can ignore that. Just set the "On URL" and "Off URL" and hit "Add device" configurator.html

You cannot link a bulb to the emulator. The emulator is just software, to look/act like a hub to other devices on the network. If you actually have a GE Link, Cree or Hue bulb, you need an actual Hue bridge to communicate with/control them.

What are you running it on? Mac? Linux? Raspberry Pi? If Linux/pi, try running: sudo netstat -ap --numeric-ports | grep 8080 Are you running DSCLink? By default, I think that listens on 8080.
