Get all the options.

Trouble with most of these calls is the issue they raise is not what they are calling about. They are looking for a "live" phone number with real people behind it. Then they sell the numbers to other spammers. This is happening a lot on mobile numbers now as they can SMS spam you. I upgraded my Ooma service to a$10 account and I can selective block the pests. We were very impressed when we tested it as you get your choice of actions and their "This number is out of service. Please check...." message is very authentic.

The best sales line, used everywhere is, "everybody else is getting one" or "It's our most popular xxx".

Missing in Android app also now. I know they want to get everything by vocal control but I don't see how to remove superfluous items anymore. Maybe it is self cleansing now?

I think it is at the very bottom of the devices page in the Android app, along with Delete All devices. That needs to be every so often to clear out the change of hearts in naming you had over the years. I mostly use the vocal "Alexa...discover". Then it vocally let's you know what new devices it found.

I have a Netgear AC1900 that I had heat problems with, only in the summer though. Figuring it was bad I bought an ASUS AC1900 RT-AC68U router to replace it. It has heat problems, only in the summer though. I have converted the ASUS to ASUSWRT-Merlin firmware (they only fix bugs) and it didn't help. I mounted them both vertically and in free air, and they have both worked almost flawlessly now, for the last few years. Some device just give up connecting to easily though. The ASUS is a better router and they now have mesh routing built into them if you want to get more than one. I turned down the transmit power on both routers, both frequencies, and that helped. Only problem, at about 3% of their power output, my neighbour could clobber my one router as his signal strength was higher than mine, in my own home. After changing frequencies, with such low signal level, his router changed to the same frequency. I have raised my transmit levels and found channels that no neighbours are using. Hopefully now, when other routers reboot every week they will see my signal and avoid the same channels. I use a free app on my cell phone, and my Killer Control Centre software app, that came with my laptop WiFi, to see every WiFi channel in use. If you are trying to use 5GHz WiFi and have any airplanes near you, your WiFi may be disconnecting constantly. It is part of the 5GHz licence to share the frequency with radar systems. Just before trashing your router I would investigate installing WRT-Merlin third party firmware into it. It may save you some money if it is available for your model.

I have always used the Insteon address to link devices and I only press linking buttons on battery devices. The rest do not require it.

Has nothing to do with "stable". It has to do with Zwave inclusions not being complete enough.

Geeeez. That brings back the memory of trying to extract the temperature from an Insteon thermostat 2441ZTH using a bank of programs. One program per degree to test for each degree from bottom to top. What a PITA. Been using v5 for about four years now and have a hard time remembering the silly things we had to do.

No. It applies to the ISY setup on the last tab. IIRC

The one just above the wiggling Hula dancer figurine. Where else would you hang panties on?

Don't let the dice on the rear view mirror get into your view.

Increases the performance. Well,... the perceived performance.

There is a switch for metric on the ISY administration page IIRC. You may have to reboot ISY after. I have banks of synchronisation programs where any input that requires the values tailored is automatically stuffed into a state variable to trigger other processes. I have one that takes three outdoor temperature sources, applies individual scaling factors, and averages them, tossing out any sensor that has drifted more than 2 degrees C from the average, and then recalculating the average using the remaining two. I use this variable resultant to trigger all my other programs requiring a reliable outside temperature. Every sensor gets sun at some point in the day. Living on a small mountain the sun travels almost 240 degrees around us each day in the summer.

Sorry. Plug the network cable in, plug the ISY serial cable to PLM in. Power up the PLM, wait a few seconds, then plug your ISY in. This way when ISY powers up it can find the network and the PLM and initialise itself properly....getting PLM info, and time clock etc.. from the Internet.

PLM gets powered up first for a few seconds, then ISY, which will then detect the PLM and install proper support routines for the PLM.

ISY will be fine. Very few have ever had bugs that are not user problems. You have a lot of programming experience, but the event based programming throws many seasoned linear programmers for a loop, at first. The injected Waits for variable manipulation is a good debugging tool. I have used it a few times for complex arithmetic where intermediate results would normally be hidden. You will learn to fly with ISY. It's a fabulous toy and a powerful tool.

Many different types of security.

Use the "Copy to clipboard" function and paste the real program.

Yes but you weren't using a factor of 0.555 in a v4 program. Did you power cycle your ISY yet? Have you saved the program yet? Show us the actual code by copying and pasting.

Maybe if you just "copy to clipboard" your actual programs, and posted them here, somebody could take a look at what you are doing. You haven't shown your If sections or what is triggering your program to run.

Inspect your notification values. You were sending a state variable before that was being updated dynamically with the current value, not your calculation result. Do you understand that ISY is not a linear programing language but rather an event based triggerred calculation engine?

The problematic behaviour is caused by your If statement setting the value you are sending in the notification. Your program can change values all you want but you are sending the State Variable that is being changed. Your output demonstrates it. BTW: Integer Variable does not mean the variable doe not have a fractional part. That is determined by the precision setting, regardless of the type. Bad naming but Integer means non-triggering and State means it can trigger a program.

All ISY variable hold numbers. By non-triggering variables, I mean State variables that are not used in programs If sections, that are enabled, or Integer variables used anywhere. When you use a state variable in an If condition, it can cause triggering of the program. Your program would trigger and before it can get finished, the program could get triggered again, restarting the program, or before the notification gets sent the variable would be changed in value. That is what you are seeing.

I never do my calculations in a State variables. You could trigger a dependant downstream program multiple times with nonsense intermediate values. Do the calculation in non-triggering variables and then copy it to the trigger State variable, last. I assume the waits are for testing. They can other programs to inject other values into variables. You are sending the latest updated variable value and receiving the correct response.. See my first sentence above.
