UDI has followed the spec. provided, but most Insteon devices do not change length of beep with the parameter. Personally, I find the beeps useless, unless I am located within arms length of the devices anyway. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

Yes correct. Unless the 10 pm is causing the evaluation it is not true itself.

If gets evaluated at both times..10 and/or the garage door status changes. If the whole If section is True then the Then section gets executed. If False then the Else section gets executed. When the garage door status changes the if section can never be true and else will always run.

Try a custom GPS location. IIRC there were some locations that didn't work properly. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

Most of my visitors have some voice remote control but not really any home automation despite all being very technically oriented. Any system that they would need to operate is available on a normal light switch. Any home automation in those bedrooms is found unplugged when they leave each time. This amounts to an MS over their beds to turn on a very low lux (during sleeping hours) lamp so they don't trip and fall on night time bathroom runs and to allow them to get into bed after turning off the rooms lights. My grandchildren all have their own Alexa Dots along with a smart bulb or receptacle to allow voice control of their own bedroom lamps (I made sure of that ) so they are familiar with arguing over Alexa's intercom system and creating sleep noises on sleep timers. The rest of the people, I doubt I would tell them anything about it. If they don;t already know they are likely not going to take it well. I have already been asked if the MSes were video cams watching them undress. I am going to gift my close neighbour with an Alexa Dot for his birthday this summer so I am sure there will be some poking and prodding there for training. That will likely end up behind a cabinet somewhere as each time I demo in my home somebody wants to talk over top of my instructions and then the demo flops. For switchLincs my basic instructions to all is, if you don't get enough light tap it on the top again, or double tap it on the top to get more lights. I try to keep a consistent theme throughout my HA installs. Yes, it can be a problem but I am not sure a training video will be worth YOUR time for the non-interested parties to talk over top of it. I bought my last Dots for about $20 CAD and if anybody else was interested they would have done the same. One son gave me his GH that they won at some party as they don't want any electronic eavesdropping in their home, especially from Google. **SIGH**

I have a corner lamp flash red every 5 to 8 seconds while any garage door is open. If the gathering room lights are turned off and the MBR lights are turned on, that lamp begins to flash brightly then.

What a bunch of "bools"!

Unless you have the PV cells outside in direct sunlight you won;t get more than about 5-10% of their rating from indoor lighting. The panel size may become unwieldy for looks indoors.

I avoid usage of 13s for .....never mind. Wife, two S-I-Ls, and M-I-L were all born on the 13th.

I guess it saved one piece of 14/3cable and was similar to the normal light switch wiring. :(

Yup. You got me on that one. I have never seen that format of wiring a 3 way. That wouldn't be legal wiring now. Thanks.

There has to be a three wire cable to any 3-way switch no matter what configuration it was wired. 14/3 cables come with black, white, and red standard. This may take modifying wire connection in two boxes so the best may be to get an electrician with a visual. A two wire Insteon switch could work with a dummy load device in the box. I posted a link to one of those about a month ago. They are used to correct dimmer drop-out flickers with LED bulbs.

If the switches were three way hardware wired before, there will always be enough wiring to get a neutral to the second switch.

Fourty if you round it off.

Apple..... right?

Wow! Four years ago! That be her. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

I posted a thread a year back or so with programs doing all that. I am on mobile so not likely easily found. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

With v5 the real time click can be used to keep track of total usage in seconds...no time loops required. I use this technique to monitor and report HVAC run time, HRV runtime, and cold cellar exhaust fan runtime. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

I don't have or use any. If the sensors came with a LiON battery the NiMH may not ever work due to lower voltage.

Is the battery a Ni-Cad or NiMH type? The voltage starts out so low at 1.25v per cell? maybe the device is complaining about low voltage when the surface charge wears down to it's 1.20 v/cell nominally, and it isn't really dead yet? You may have to go back to the original chemistry cell. I have Lithium 9V batteries that came around 11 volts and my MSes don't like them complaining of low battery voltage all the time.

Have you seen the joke video with the Scottish accent? Hilarious!.

I suspect that 'Dim' was the only word understood. I was trying some of that last night and once the command is understood what to do, it ignored the rest of the words..

I discovered it by unplugging the GDO. Then I put the new GDO on a long extension cord and plugged it into a receptacle much further away from the main panel and problem Insteon devices, until my FilterLincs arrived. That was how I diagnosed the problem, before spending more money on the first signal filters I ever needed in five years.

None of these units hear well if they are in a corner. I turned my ecobee4 unit Alexa off as it was operating things from TV sounds, about 25 feet away. The babbling that it didn't understand while watching TV was annoying. Very bad design idea. The space around them it real important so they can detect ambience. Mounted on a flat wall doesn't work well. Standing close hardly ever works either??? When I stand in front of my one Alexa or GH the one behind my back at the other end of the room always answers and vice versa, Weird.
