Hi Michel, I replaced two thermostat controllers with ver 2.0. ISY(2.7.7) recognized them without a glitch with automatic linking option. Fan controll is working now, I can turn fan on and off (Auto is turning fan off) Bets regards Walter

Hi Michel, Today I received new 4 IOLincs and all are ver .36 As far as hold time even using time in increments of 10 is not working for me. Any number set as hold time in increment of 10 is resulting in about 2 sec hold in Momentary A mode. Best regards WD

Hi, I am using http://www.universal-devices.com/99i/2.7.7/admin.jnlp to access ISY and 2.7.7. I would like to report following problem with IOLinc ver 36 and ISY 2.7.7. Momentary hold time is not working. 1. Whatever number is saved hold time is about 2 sec in Momentary A. 2. Momentary B is not reacting to Off switch it works the same way as Momentary A (unless I am missing something). I tested IOLinc as below: 1. Factory reset IOLinc and link with ISY with New Insteon Device option 2. Factory reset IOLinc and link with ISY with Start Linking option Both ways linked device to ISY without problems but none did not enable control of hold time. BTW I was able to change hold time in 2.7.6. I can to downgrade duueto some error during the proces. Best regards Walter

Will the current firmware of ISY support new ver 2.0 of Smarthome's thermostat adapter? Thanks Walter

That is an excellent idea. I was looking for the way to check and compare time of events, but your way is simple and very "elegant". Best regards Walter

Dear Forum, Please help with the following problem. Garage has motion sensor and TriggerLinc. How to write ISY program checking order of events and take action depending of the result. If TriggerLinc is On first and MotionDetector On second that means car is incoming. Opposite order car is out. Thanks for the help - Walter

Hi, This is little off ISY topic question, but I ma looking for the ideas how I could physically press button on the security alarm remote (left at home) using Insteon for example IOlinc. My first idea would be some type of low voltage actuator. Maybe other ideas? Thanks Walter

Take a look at autocloser. I have it working for almost 3 years without a glitch Walter

Hi Michel Did you have a chance to fix RemoteLinc bug in ver 2.6.13? Thanks Walter

Hi, Is it any way to increase time gap between "taps" to be still accepted as Fast on state? Thanks Walter

Hi, I linked motion detector to my ISY99 Pro with 2.6.8 without any problems using described in earlier posts method of pressing Set button twice. However ISY generated 3 entries in my device table: XX.XX.XX Sensor XX.XX.XX Dusk/Down XX.XX.XX Low Battery I am confused if I did something wrong or is this the way ISY is recognizing motion sensor. If this linking is correct what for are axtra two entries and how they are working? Right now Low battery status does not show any state, Dusk/Down was ON yesterday evening and sensor staus is working as expected. Thanks for the help - Walter

Hi I added IRLinc to my setup. In ISY I defined 32 buttons of MX700 universal remote. All is working great. I wonder how I could setup SH credit card size remote (shipped with IRlinc) with ISY. It looks like it has predefined keys to setup IRLinc in stand alone application. I am not sure how I could associate those special keys with ISY and assign another meaning to them. Would it confuse IRLinc? Thanks Walter

This is not exactly ISY question but maybe somebody could help. I am not sure if I could use LampLinc module to adjust outdoor light low voltage transformer input voltage and thus brightness of 12V outdoor lights. I would like to program with ISY "life ligth scenes" using 4 transformers 200W connected thru LampLincs. Thanks for the help Walter

Hi Mike, In Vista by default ISY data file is saved under C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\LocalLow Your ISY script is d = Replace(d, "Local\Temp", "LocalLow") ChDir (d) Workbooks.OpenText Filename:="UDReport.txt", _ Origin:=437, StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlDelimited, TextQualifier:= _ ..... Command Workbooks.OpenText Filename:="UDReport.txt", _ can not fid data file with provided in the script information When I replaced above line with full path name Workbooks.OpenText Filename:="C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\LocalLow\UDReport.txt", _ everything was working without a glitch. I hope this will help Walter

Hi Mike, Please explain what why are you using in your program twice the same command? And Status 'OfficeThermostat' > 76° (Temperature) And Status 'OfficeThermostat' > 76° (Setpoint) Thanks Walter

Hi I am considering two thermostats for my home. Is it possible to directly hard link thermostat adapter with the RemoteLinc and be able to increase or decrease set point temp without ISY triggering program? Thanks Walter

I have ver 2.6.6 of ISY 99 Pro. Remote access is very unreliable for me. Console is locking with no particular reason sometimes after very short periopd of time. I need to be able to acces lights remotely. My solution would be use programmable electronic timer and connet PLM htru it Timer would be resetting (disconnecting, and after one minute connecting) ISY automatically every 2 hours every day. Do you think that frequent recycling would have impact and shorten life cycle of PLM or ISY? Or maybe there is software ETA to fix this problem. Best regrads Walter

Mike, I failed to provide more detailed information what program should do. Once triggered and rechecked status after 2 min it should run several actions separated with WAIT statements unconditionally. Otherwise if during 2 min CONTROL will change from ON to OFF do nothing.

I would like to check control status and after 2 min wait recheck status. If condition is still true execute THEN. I would appreciate ideas. It does not seem to me that I can do it with one program. It may work to have 2 programs. First one checking condition, if condition is TRUE waiting 2 min and recalling second program with IF checking staus and executing THEN. I think that second program should be diabled. Thanks for the help Walter

I recently installed 5 KPLs 2486 V2C some in 8 some in 6 button mode. I noticed when button controllig load is ON, using All Off is changing state to Off in the Admin panel, but light is still ON. Quering state again will change state of the KPL to ON again Going to device panel in Admin console OFF will change state to OFF and turn off load as well. I created scene TEST to which I added KPL load controlling button as responder. Now pressing All Off will turn load off and change state to off as well. I created scene ALL where I added all devices and now All Off physically is turning load on all KPLs. I reconfirm that phenomenon by removing some of KPLs from the scene and duplicated problem of not switching load off wilth All Off commnad on above mentioned KPLs. I wonder if anybody experience behaviour like this and where the problem is (ISY 99iPro 2.6.6 or KPL). Best regards Walter Thanks Walter

Tim and Rand, Thank you very much for your time and helping to understand. Bets regards Walter

I am just starting with programs. Purpose of the program is after turning powder room light on it should gradually change brightness every 2 secs and turn off. I can not figure out what is wrong in the syntax below: If Status 'Powder Room Light' is not Off Then Set 'Powder Room Light' On Wait 2 seconds Set 'Powder Room Light' 80% Wait 2 seconds Set 'Powder Room Light' 60% Wait 2 seconds Set 'Powder Room Light' 40% Wait 2 seconds Set 'Powder Room Light' 20% Wait 2 seconds Set 'Powder Room Light' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Program starts but light instead gradually fading to "off" status is cycling between "on" and 80% in infinitive loop. Best regrads Walter

You are correct ver 2.6.6. Thanks Walter

I have a problem with unit frequently locking up when accessing over the Internet. I need to unplug and plug again to regain control. I can not point to any paticular operation cousing this behaviour. Recently it happened when changing LL level. I logged in remotely and after couple minutes unit was down. I will have to go back home to reset it. Any suggestions what is the possible problem solution are appreciated. Thanks for the help - Walter

Universal Deivces is offering one of the best support experiences I ever had. Thank you very much
