Nothing important, Michel. I was just playing with this feature in Yosemite and could not use it to open the Console. Sorry for the bother.

Is is it possible to do this? How?

Thanks very much. Another exemplary example of UDI's customer service.

Allow me to add another accolade. I have never purchased anything for which I have received better service. Between this forum and ISY representatives no problem has been too large or too complex.

I may be helpful to cautious Mac/Yosemite/ISY users such as myself to know how this was resolved.

i\In your directions: "A jumper across GND and N/O on an IOLinc and a piezoelectric buzzer (21N30PQ) from Mouser connected to 5V and COM, voila, an Inseton BuzzLinc. The jumper is a wire connected to both GND and N/O. I used two long nosed pliers and my fingers to gently widen the space between the piezoelectric buzzer pegs/wires, one peg at a time. Push one peg slightly outward with your fingers, then the other. Continue until the distance is wider than what you want. Using one pair of pliers, grip the peg nearest the buzzer leaving as much of the peg exposed as you can. Use the other pair of pliers to bend the free end inward. Do the same with the other peg." Is the jumper mentioned above the connected pegs?

That sounds great, Michel. I hope the upgrade to 5.0 for those of us who are Mac/Yosemite users will be seamless. I have yet to upgrade to the most recent release because of some reported Mac issues.

Stusviews: Less expensive to have a few spares. P&H is very expensive on small, relatively inexpensive items. I am going to use two to alert for door openings. I considered flashing overhead lights but this seemed a far better option. I will let you know how it goes.

Stusviews: Understood. That is one of the reasons I purchased more than one, thinking I might break one bending the leads.

Thanks, Lee.

Is it technically feasible/possible for an ISY to control a device on another ISY? For example, could a door sensor on one ISY control an I/O Linc on another ISY?

stusviews: Thanks, I ordered 3 from Mouser. I look forward to building a Buzzlinc or 2 or 3!

Thanks, Brian. I will continue my search.

stusviews: In the past you posted a clever setup to create a buzzer notification system. Mouser no loner carries the 21n30p. Will these work in your setup? http://www.ebay.com/...=item35da85bcf1

Mine is getting better, but I have had a few devices fail, requiring replacement. Also, it is not uncommon to have to do a reset, either soft or hard to fix a problem. The Insteon wireless thermostat was a significant challenge until I came up with a program to address the issue. Although Insteon cameras aren't really Insteon, and I don't use them with the ISY, they have been a huge disappointment since I updated their firmware to address a security issue. They require routine rebooting. The setup/operating instructions for some devices are vague at best. Were it not for this board I would have many other challenges. That said, I have never had a single problem with the ISY and I am happy with Insteon. I have no regrets. I just would not want to mislead anyone that starting down this path is without considerable challenges.

I can somewhat relate to your frustration because Insteon is definitely not "set it and forget it". However, having said that, automation has allowed me to to monitor entries and the temperature at a remote location with photos and email alerts. It allows me also to control external and internal lighting leaving the appearance that the place is occupied. Finally, it even runs a "fake" tv enhancing the illusion of occupancy. At my home, it does the same things plus it controls about 20 Christmas devices, including several old x-10 modules. Where my wiring was lacking it allowed me to create wireless circuits. When I get ready for bed, I press a PLM button and it turns the light off in that room and two others on allowing me to safely navigate some stairs. In the bedroom I press a KPL button and all lights are turned off except two exterior lights which are turned off a half hour before daylight. I could go on and on. I love the system. I am 70 years old and the learning curve is steep but with the help of the wonderful experts at this site I get the help I need to make life easier and safer.

Thanks, Teken. I missed that. I successfully transitioned from the default server. I had not been able to do that previously.

I lost email notifications as well. This should be displayed as a sticky ASAP.

Thanks for the feedback. I don't know how a newly linked device found its way into the hidden devices on MobiLinc but it did. Problem solved.

An Insteon ApplicanceLinc is blue in the device tree of my ISY99i IR Pro. It is used in a program nested in a folder and turns a light on and off at specified times. It performs the task as programmed and it may be turned on and off at the device tree level in the admin control panel. However, it does not appear in the list of devices in MobiLinc. It only appears there as part of the nested program. Does anyone know here know why or should I address my question to MobiLinc?

Glad you found the solution.

Having had a problem similar to this some time ago, try backing up to your desktop then moving the file to where you wish. I use a Mac as well.

Problem solved. You put me on the right track. The problem was that I needed to group them. They now display in the same manner as the other sensors. Thanks.

If I did accidentally, how do I ungroup them? Should I remove them from the folder they have been placed in and then add them back to the folder one at a time?

I have completed installation of a third hidden door sensor. When the first two were completed they were displayed in a hierarchical manner in the device tree: Primary Node Low Battery Heartbeat The one I just finished appears with all 3 nodes at the same level: Primary Node Low Battery Heartbeat The device properly displays its status and, using a program, it sends a notification when opened. Are any of you familiar with what might cause this unusual display in the device tree?
