The SwitchLinc will go to it's preset On position when an On is sent. Set that to 100% in the devices status page or IIRC you can manually ramp the On level by using the paddle held until the light is at 100%. Think of it as a memory of the last level it was left at. To guarantee 100% you can also use Fast On also but no ramping will happen. (instantaneous)

I have noticed that doing announcements from all Aexa boxes can make it hard to understand the wording as the slight delays can make it sound so echoey, it is hard to decipher. Since I have restricted announcements to key areas of the house that are out of ear shod from each other.

No! ISY does not require any ports to be opened. IS and browsers have complete access to the internet via your router. Only external devices would need to have a hole punched in your router firewall. ISY can poll the ISY Portal and get answers back from inside ISY. Nothing is "pushed" from outside your firewall into ISY. It only appears that way from the user's viewpoint.

Mine all work fine. May be a slight delay of a few seconds and you can't trigger them more than about every 30 seconds each. I use them to announce garage door 1 open garage door 2 is open both garage doors are closed a leak detector has lost it's heartbeat a motion detector has reported a low battery motion has been detected in the workshop security system is enabled + a few more

Read the algorithm I posted. ISY can detect any holiday by formula as well as the fixed dates ones. Eater is very complex and based on lunar cycles. I have no solution for that one. Again and hopefully more simply put... Let's suppose you want to trigger a program on Labour Day (Canadian / US are the same day). This will trigger on the first Monday of every September, independent of year. If day is Monday and MM.DD >= 9.01 and MM.DD <- 9.07 Then do Labour Day things Else --- First you will need ISY v5.xx and a program to extract the month and date from ISY variables into your own state variable.

Long weekend style holidays take a combination of date and day filters. If Monday and 5.01 to 5.07 Sent using Tapatalk

The battery left is based on voltage and temperature factors and possibly usage. A 90 percent battery may drop to 2.7 vdc when in sub zero temperatures but will come back to say 2.95v when warmed up again. I have many different humidity sensors and none of them are stable within about 20 percent RH. Sent using Tapatalk

The provider has made some promise they will release the api should the above happen. Whatever. Sent using Tapatalk

I do not use the NS but rather KumoApps to populate state variables. I have seven units. - monitor garage door position and alert me if left open while gone or too long, announcing open and close via Alexa vocals - monitor temperatures, humidity and luminance on north and south side of house, predicting early HVAC setback times via differences - monitor wine cellar humidity for ventilation control - monitor fridge door open too long via light level, temperature and door position - monitor vehicle proximity for garage door open and home detection via loss of comm signal - thermostats calibration and main floor stat verification while away, ISY independent - monitor router temperature curve after some random failures

No support for BT. I don't know where a HA system would use BT with it's 15' range.

Just log in normally and stop the offending program. You will have to wait every step for ISY to catch up but it will service your requests eventually.

The same tool should work. The frequencies are very similar. Sent using Tapatalk

My three GHs complain they need more information from me in the app. For years I have put up with Google's nonsense stopping working plyaing games with my account, and demanding I update this or that, and now they sit as wasted money I got more stable Alexa boxes and ignore the GH units.

Some people dont feel like they got their money's worth if they dont pay something. Some like to give donations as they write code themselves. Sent using Tapatalk

Then use the percent option. On is not a percentage. Use 'set' .Scenes are presets. There are no in betweens. Sent using Tapatalk

The guy that does the tracking complaints doesn't have Internet access. Delaying a month solves most package locate problems. Sent using Tapatalk

Get the multi room MS that can detect motion in x rooms and only use one unit and program with the passed parameters. Sent using Tapatalk

For colours or levels use... Alexa...set xxx to red/blue/green/40 percent Sent using Tapatalk

First x amount gets the field for a week and the next y gets it permanently. Maybe a field with a gumball machine knob . Sent using Tapatalk

Create crippled units that have a donated tokens field. enabling another field per donation. Sent using Tapatalk

Bad comm problems. Check your old devices in a different location with a quiet breaker circuit. Sent using Tapatalk

ISY is mostly about home automation so the audience may be very small. Sent using Tapatalk

What version of firmware and what version UI are you using? Sent using Tapatalk

Agreed. Using statuses is a different matter but using control switched makes a one program logic possible ...and only if the else section is not used. The else section will run at both time nodes. Sent using Tapatalk

I installed my antennae immediately before powering up. Some radios, transmitting power without an antenna to absorb it, can burn out the rf output amplifier stages. Sent using Tapatalk
