  1. Sounds like a denial of service attack on the UDP protocol?
  2. On the MS I 7 rapid taps on the linking button would send the dark signal On/Off without any sensing delay. I don't know if they kept that feature. Most didn't know about it. This always helped me test all the features before placing them back on their higher mounting perches.
  3. I agree with that logic but if you have DNS problems then you should try another DNS service to isolate where the problem is. Maybe your ISP is switching things around. Another thought. It may have been a hot summer and I have had problems with two routers now, (AC1900, Netgear and ASUS units) always in the heat of the summer. A/C controls the temperature but they both gave me trouble in the hottest part of the summer. Now they are both mounted vertically. The cases are both terrible ventilation if I lay them horizontal with their 2 core, 1GHz CPUs, and gave me massive problems.
  4. Yeah. That article seems to confuse DNS with DHCP. They are different things. Your DHCP in your router is giving your ISY an IP address when you power it up. That seems OK or you would be able to access it or anything else. The DHCP in your ISP gives your router it's IP address and that seems to be working OK because you can browse the Internet. The problem codes you are seeing 15,0010 etc.. are defined as DNS errors for various protocols, especially email. This means your are asking those IP addresses (@ Time Warner) to translate your email servers name ("mail.universal.devices.com") into an IP address and it doesn't like something (port or security style?) that or is sending something back that ISY doesn't understand. As an experiment, here is what I would try. In your router turn off the "Obtain DNS Automatically" to manual. This asks your ISP for an address of their recommended DNS server = 209.18.47.62 / 63. Thee DNS servers may not even know who "mail.universal.devices.com" is. Now manually enter these addresses in these boxes. 8.8.8.8 and 9.9.9.9 or 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.4.4. You may have to save and /or reboot your router. Try things again. If this does not work, restore the "Obtain DNS Automatically" again and you may have to power cycle your router to get the router re-grab the IP addresses again.
  5. On that same pulldown menu there is also a 'copy to clipboard' for pasting programs here. Careful with the dimmed values. They may not be exact at next program run Sent using Tapatalk
  6. DHCP is your router issuing IP addresses for your LAN, from MAC addresses. DNS is a server, somewhere, issuing Internet IP addresses from a text URL description. Check the addresses inside your router. It may be your ISP, but usually google at 8.8.8.8 or 4.4.4.4. I have switched to 1.1.1.1 and 9.9.9.9 in an attempt to get away from some of the google spying on my life.
  7. Most of us still get caught, coming back years later wondering WTF we did in our own software. Always try to make it easy to understand, if possible. Use commenting at the bottom of programs and you can also inline comment too.
  8. If ( <----------- doesn't serve any function to bracket all lines $Int_1 is 1 And From Sunset <--------can only be true during the timeframe From/To To Sunrise (next day) And Control 'Motion Sensors / Rear Deck South Side-Senso' is switched On <------ top three logic conditions all have to True due to the ANDs Or Control 'Motion Sensors / Patio-Sensor' is switched On <-------Or has a lower precedence and this line is only ORed with te line above and below Or Control 'Motion Sensors / West Gate Motion Sensor-Senso' is switched On <-------Or has lower precedence and this line is included n the OR only ) Then Run Program 'Rear Lights On' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I assume you wanted this If $Int_1 is 1 <--------------------master control will enable/disable all triggers. Integer variables cannot initiate programs though. And From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) <---------------------watch out for this one. It will cancel Then running, and run Else And ( Control 'Motion Sensors / Rear Deck South Side-Senso' is switched On Or Control 'Motion Sensors / Patio-Sensor' is switched On Or Control 'Motion Sensors / West Gate Motion Sensor-Senso' is switched On )
  9. FIY. Admin Console has a search and replace function to find device, variable etc. usage . Right click on any program and select it from the dropdown menu.
  10. Can the MS II not send just On signals? Most of us let ISY do the Off timing to save batteries and use higher logic if wanted. The screenshot appears to show an option for that.
  11. Simply put, if you had to install your SSID and password for your WiFi and the receptacle connected to your WiFi then it was transmitted to the receptacle some how. Otherwise why would it demand security details? Ironic to state iOS cannot have an app control the SSID it connects to, and the receptacle could hack into your password under that same iOS. I doubt that is happening. A lot of effort and technology has gone into making these things not easily hackable. I would be sure iOS geofencing apps control thing a lot more than just WiFi connections. The manual that comes with my bulbs and RGBWW strip controllers reads the same method regardless of the O/S. OTOH those original instructions used the manual SSID change method where the user selects a temporary SSID network. The newer apps find the SSID automatically but for me that is only on Android. Maybe do the factory reset again and check your iOS device possibilities. Every other WiFi device, I have used, finds every other SSIDs within a block. I know you have to be within 50 feet of the bulbs when they grow their own SSID servers. I don't know how much grip Steve Jobs still has in your house. Does the receptacle not come with any instructions? Some of mine have a one page withonly the words "www.loadme.com", in the middle of the page. LOL Others came with four pictures marked 1,2,3,4.
  12. I use many WiFi RGBWW bulbs/RGBWW LED strips and a few other WiFi devices. This is how the process works. When the WiFi device is factory reset it creates it's own SSID, usually with a prefix to identify itself like LEDENET12345678. The app knows to look for that SSID from the device and automatically connects your mobile device to it. In the past apps, you had to select that SSID on your app device (mobile phone) manually. Now when you enter the SSID and password, you are installing that security into the bulb/device. IT reboots and connects to your LAN The device or bulb's SSID disappears and your app device (mobile) reconnects back to it's usual LAN connection (SSID) Now your app and bulb are on the same network. Factory reset the receptacle and you should see a foreign SSID again.
  13. Not that I have noticed. Alexa delays do come and go at times. My vocals announcements re hard to tell as I only announce my fryer is done and two garage doors are open or both closed. Not much time comparison there to be noticed.
  14. The delay is found in the Alexa App on a mobile device only, under routines, in the particular "When" section if you select "Not Detected". For Alexa perceived "motion detectors", it states "When xxx detects no motion for ZZ minutes" in very small font.
  15. Careful with the Routines. I have noticed Amazon likes to slip a programmed delay in any Off detection Routines every time you open them for editing. I have been caught a few times on that Gottcha'
  16. We are confusing order of operations with evaluation order. A quote from that ISY section.
  17. All lines are evaluated every time, then the whole logic is assessed. Trigger lIne order doesn't matter in ISY. As suggested by lilyoyo1, get rid of the status. It may cause oscillations and doesn't make any difference.
  18. Can you post your programs? The light sensitivity shouldn't turn on/off lights.
  19. My ISY Finder always worked that way thorough multiple OSes, and years of different ISY versions. It never found my ISY and I always had to manually enter an IP address for ISY, every version. ISY Launcher works better but is slower and is cloud dependant.
  20. Were you having problems today? A major Internet outage occurred a few times and it may be cloud dependant. This may be an indicator a firewall is blocking discovery. Sent using Tapatalk
  21. There is that but.... Insteon devices already had retry and hop logic and a CPU with hundreds of Links spots inside so an enhancement of the software shouldn't make a smart Insteon device cost any more than a bare RPi Zero. LOL ISY with it's current scene management should be able to stuff a simple and or OR logic into a device and off load some of the load grind onto IEDs. Just think, people with the scene obsession (no names ) would be able to make more things work with an offline PolISY. It could do cool things like security Locking of devices by requiring two switched On commands in a sequence. I guess the Chinese haven't thought of it for Insteon yet.
  22. Scenes cannot perform any logic and your task demands some logic. It will take programs to complete your task. Unfortunately, scenes are required to operate the LEDs in KPLs so programs will be required to operate scenes to operate the LEDs. Insteon was designed to only be a remote control system and not smart with logic. Wouldn't that be something if they installed some simple gate logic inside the SwitchLincs? eg: If xxx is On and yyy is switched on. It could change the game with IEDs (intelligent end devices) distributed around the house.
  23. Welcome to the UDI forums! I can't really completely understand what you are trying to do as the usage of the word "scene" for everything is confusing me. The load connected to the wiring of the KPL is controlled by the HHPD On and HHPD off button/leds and no programs can interfere with that connection. I can't discern what the HHPD Scene contains. To turn on the HHPD LED you have to turn on the load connected. That cannot ever change. I don't see any involvement for a second KPL, Front Door, or Kitchen devices. Are they involved in this logic? Are your KPL buttons HH ON/OFF and PD ON/OFF in Toggle mode or are you doing the toggle function in ISY programs?
  24. There is a way but I have forgotten how to do it. I just use a C for the temperature notifications. If you use the devices themselves the suffix will be automatic.
  25. Race conditions should not be a problem if Integer variables are used as they don't trigger program evaluation.
