I had some problems with Win 10 a year back. The icon would end up hid in the start menu root, the ISY sub-menu or my desktop at random.

Clear your java cache of all three options Then try the download again. The warning is a java cleanup message and shouldn't be related to this.

Just to play dirty... That line gets blurred with vocal activation gadgets. Although I don't have to touch anything, or get anything out of my pocket, it is still just "advanced" remote control, and not any form of automation. Alexa! Turn on the sunset lights! becomes pretty convenient, although as a fellow HA purist, I feel so violated!

For me it would be the most simple and obvious, considering wondering what you did a year from now.

Some seem to be traumatised by variables and fear their complexity. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

Thanks guys! I know in previous times if UPnP was shut off things stop working and some will complain about it. This sounds more like a router deficiency that was fixed a few years ago in later router versions.

I thought UPnP would not transmit through a router to the outside world through any router???

Ouch! That one had to hurt! Good catch.

I had the "No such device as XXX" last night, after it turned the program activating the scenes, NRs, and NodeLink devices on, happen again. The Alexa command was successful but reported device name failure.

Careful with the 2441TH. I have have two 2441ZTH stats and the newer version (V.35) has never been controllable from ISY since purchase three years ago. I can change setpoints and modes and ISY shows them all fine until any query. They have never changed. It works as a probe though. The older version 2441ZTH works fine except for ISY setpoint command line up/down always fails but never reports it. Get a real stat where the electronics heat doesn't throw the calibration off, between comm transmissions.

Java is independent of your browser. A browser is not required to run code in java. Browsers are dropping java plug-ins. Java is not java script that the Internet lives on.

I prefer to do everything via State Variables for triggers. That way your ISY programs still have last say whether the program can run or not. The variables are easier to set up in a Rest I/F call.

Thanks asbril! Strangely enough I just finished adding a program to my Alexa, and GHs. I still get the failure message above but nothing is required for GH to add the new pseudodevice. It just works now after adding it to the ISY portal without any interaction with GH??? Just for interest sake: The program I just created controls an RGBWW strip wrapped around the headboard of my bed. I called it "Sunset Headboard" for GH. (I only have a GH mini in the bedroom) The RGBWW strips come on 100% white and 100% RGB = yellow. After Wait 5 minute loops, decreasing the white level to 0%, by 10% each iteration, then the Yellow lights are decreased by 20% every 20 seconds and the colour is increased by one so that the colour fades from yellow to deep red as the level fades to 0%. This gives a more linear spaced light level dimming = 100%, 90%, 81%, 72%, 64%, 57%, 51%, 45%, 40%, 36%, 32%, 28%, 25%, 22%, 19%, 17%, 15%, 13%, 11%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, Off. I'll try it tonight to see how the circadian rhythm effect works.

Did you use the download to Google command first? This process has changed since I started with GH, and I finally gave up on mine, but the icon to download your device definitions to google is on your ISY Portal screen shot.

UDI has only implemented what the SH devices offer. It was felt by SH that the All-On command incorporated in devices was related to the random "All-On" ghost phenomenum. Eliminating the command in the devices would cure the problem. Newer versions of Insteon devices probably do not support the "All-On" command. A scene of the same style can be created in ISY quite easily by it's drag and drop method.

This sounds a bit confused. Echo is an amazon vocal input device. Google Home and GH Mini are google vocal input devices. The two don't interact or depend on each other. The ISY Portal is required for either or both of the above devices. This is an online server that has access to your ISY and your Google or amazon account and translates voice requests to ISY controls.

Like rcoleman posted and it works to resolve the disagreements that can happen between editors. To avoid tribunal and all the nasty policing that happens on the wikipedia free for all, a dictator needs to be in charge of each article. Your new assignment, should you choose to accept it, would be to control the outcome of each article to your satisfaction and terminate any detrimental factors to our great ISY nation. This message will not destroy itself in 5 seconds. Look beside the 'article' tab on any page in the wiki. Best of luck. I spent a few years editing about 20k articles on wikipedia and spent half my time in tribunals defending myself or getting rid of rule breakers. Then somebody with better BS comes along and I'm gone too. A manager / dictator is needed to avoid that overhead that wikipedia with its self-management popularity contests. I suggest a select few or just yourself be in charge of text insertion and many (or all) can post in talk pages for suggestions and/or complete text globs that can be cut and pasted as desired. ADDENDUM: Oh the ISY wiki calls it a "Discussion" tab.

UDI needs to open up the Talk page so recommendations and requests can be voiced there.

Yes. The Network Module will do it all. That is what I primarily use for MiLight, Hue, LEDenet bulbs and strips (MagicHome is the same company or protocol AFAICT). I use NodeLink on a RPI 3 to control and access my ecobee and Venstar stats but this takes another box. ISY is the most expandable piece of hardware I have ever experienced. You can even have notification write to the ISY itself to keep a database of happenings with a technique developed and posted right in this forum. Spreadsheet compatible data too. The Network Module will allow you to send almost anything ever created over Ethernet, in any protocol. I can control my receiver, TV, media PC via the Netwok Module. That means that Alexa and GHome can control them via my voice too, if the logic in ISY I have programmed allows them to. It can grow with you as you discover new things. Polyglot is up and coming although I have experimented with it, it had nothing I needed to my advantage yet. Many users are developing drop-in modules for. If you are an experienced linear programmer the ISY even based language may throw you a curve for a while but you will get on to that soon. It has it's quirks but is very powerful. ISY is a very open box that never stops surprising most people. Help is here and most are more than willing to fight over your affection.

Welcome to the forum!!! Sounds almost exactly what I have done with my ISY. I operate Hue bulbs of a few types, MiLight controllers (RBGWW strips) MiLight bulbs, Insteon SwitchLinc banks of LED lights, and LEDenet RGBWW strips from my ISY, all controlled by Dots, Echoes, Google Home Minis, and one central SwitchLinc. ISY makes this all possible. Colours are mostly controlled by voice. Whites are controlled by voice and SwitchLinc. No devices are controlled via the Alexa App modules. Everything is controlled via ISY as a decision making clearing house. ISY decides what festive theme colours are used if I ask for it. Alexa. Turn on festive lights gets Halloween, Christmas, Party, Movie, etc. themes based on time of year. Alexa. Turn On sunset lights gets autumn colours with an hour fade of the white lights only, to Off, leaving only reds-yellows and warm wite lighting.

I don't see the need to have a remote unlock for my doors at all. I have a proximity dongle in my pocket for my cars and Schlage combo locks on my doors. A simple 4 key combo releases the automatic dead bolt. I don't carry any keys at all and I have no automatic door lock releases. However, I always make sure I have a backup plan in case my main entrance door battery dies. If I need to allow somebody to pass through my locked doors I can give them the combination and then change it later or set up a one-time usage combo that disappears after one usage.

In the admin console pull down the File menu and select Themes, and then Font size. Select a font size and then close and reopen the admin console

Your experience is similar to mine. Google is so intent on artificial intelligence simulation that it makes too many guesses at what you actually mean, it is undependable for home automation. Google changes their security frequently and causes disruptions in user convenience. GH is much better for online information, whereas Alexa is better for HA. So far. We have been finding GH plays games well. Try 'play trivia' Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

Not personally but some reported good experiences with the wired in Insteon module style devices installed behind outdoor rated MSes inside the octagon boxes.

Try an FM and/or AM radio tuned "off station" close to the suspected devices and wiring. Noisy signals on wiring can completely blank reception under certain conditions..
