  1. I assume you will notify yourself if you ever have a leak? Add instructions into that note on how to handle the Leak Detectors. They need to be dried and reset, then retested to see if they still work. IIRC the ON state will remain on forever and they cannot send a Wet signal again until reset.
  2. Test, test, test. Simulate, and test again. Put instructions in your notifications how to reset the damn things.
  3. Any progress on this google Home permission problem? A few others have the same problem now. Since users do not have to download items to GH very often, I wonder if anybody has this working. Google seemed to go through a lot of security changes about a month ago. I had to change passwords on accounts, ,as well as a few neighbours contacted me for help when their email accounts stopped working and got the messages to update their passwords. One neighbour told me she didn't sleep for almost a week as she thought somebody hacked into her accounts on her iPad after receiving the stupid messages about all the devices connected to their account. Google is becoming a PITA with their latest rounds of messing with people's stuff. I haven't had any success with google support. The most intelligent response I have received so far was, "This is very strange. I will ask around and get back to you".
  4. This is the explanation given, but I agree. It doesn't have a function. No other program calls this program, only the power up call from ISY. It only happens once. My guess is that it was originally a State variable in an early attempt to create a startup at power up time that failed and it was changed to an integer variable. Testing would not find useless code, and all would still function as planned. It also may have been used for subsequent programs downstream to know status of the programs so that time races don't cause problems. These programs are not shown.
  5. No program changes at all. I just save my stat variables for when I really need them as the ISY trigger engine is going to evaluate them every time even when they can never trigger a program. That may slow down the ISY logic engine. Use Integer variables whenever possible like this situation. First I assumed you are using State variable due the small "s" at the beginning of the names. In your program 2 the line with the "time is 12:00" - is only true at exactly 12:00 - is only true when ISY's time clock detects it as a trigger (at 12:00) - any other time or reason the ISY trigger engine is evaluating this If Section program logic it will be False. When you AND the time line with any other logic, it doesn't matter what the logic evaluates to, the "time is 12:00" will be False and Else will run. This means when the State variable changes value, the ISY engine will evaluate the whole If section and always find False, running else. This is the reason a State variable is not required for this logic. State variable can trigger logic evaluation. Integer variables do not. Allow me to give another more visual example If ....time is 12:00 ....AND ....time is 12:30 Then .... when will this ever happen? Else ....this will execute at 12:00 and 12:30 every day. Making sense?
  6. State variables would not be needed there. Program2's "Time is 12:00" will always render False except when it does it.
  7. I have tried to keep to only dimmable LED bulbs as they should have better power supplies built into them.....hopefully...but as mwester posted above..YES. Try swapping the bulbs back to incandescent and see what it does.
  8. I tried MWareman's (above) method also, along with a few other techniques. Now when they stop working I replace the batteries. They usually start to multiple flash the LED on the front when they see motion. Saved a few dozen programs I record the low batt signal in a variable list in case I miss the dying process while away but they don't all report in properly or consistently.
  9. Not directly or simply. (ISY) io_guys has written a basic Modbus node for NodeLink but I am using a SunSpec Modbus protocol with my OutBack equipment Mate3. This means that items can change Modbus addresses with equipment changes. With tens of thousands of points there was a lot of filtering on the fly. I wrote a Python3 bridge to interrogate my modbus port and pick out what I need, and then stuff it into my ISY. If you have any Python3 skills, and the modbus is SunSpec protocol, it could be adapted for your usage.
  10. IMHO UDI needs to implement a solution / hack for this in their next release. Of course it would come with a disclaimer, it may cease to function at any time until SH releases the proper spec. to them. This has become an issue using this item as a negative marketing ploy, by certain individuals, against the ISY994i. This seems to be SH attempting to damage UDI. MS and IBM ended up in legal battles over this type of behaviour several times.
  11. I don't have any of those in my 13 MSes but. ... They can be used without settability or you can set them by use of a SH Hub 2.
  12. I don;t think the Insteon MSes are "pet immune" If I have ever read that right those units have a blocking "piece of tape" on the bottom of the screen to block lower actions on the floor. This means that they wouldn't work for cat anyway, dependant on climbing cabinets. What happened to the smell absorbent kitty litter?
  13. I believe that "lights" and "lamp" are very generic and maybe predefined words that may get you into trouble. When I say Lights On alexa asks me which one as I have a few dozen programs with Lights in the vocal. Google home is worse turning on every light in the house. I know it is not as simple but maybe try "Room Lights"
  14. Losing the multiple accounts allowed/fixed GH to operate my HA via ISY portal, but it didn't resolve the write back for GH setup from ISY Portal. It is only one direction that fails. Just for a time marker this first was noticed / started? when the DST changed after my router watchdog failed and turned it off for the night. (router shutdown may not be related or may have jogged the GH account setup somehow)
  15. Welcome to the UDI forums! I have had the same problem for the last month or so. I have deleted and rebuilt everything possible attempting to make it work about a dozen times without any success. The voice control still works but I cannot modify anything from the ISY portal getting the permission error you are.. IIRC Benoit, and now I have contacted google about this without any luck. I only get back silly comments like "what is an ISY994i?"
  16. ...and then there is those two new CFLs you installed in the opener. My remote would operate the door from 1000' down the street but I had to be in the driveway to close it.
  17. I have made several attempts to deal with google support. Most have just asked what an "ISY994i" is. The last one wanted screen shots of the ISY Portal.:( Here is the latest response I received. Sounds like another totally clueless support response. The garbage can is getting closer for these GH minis as they have become useless for HA. My patience is wearing thin and they are taking spaces where Amazon products could be.
  18. Either this is an indicator your battery is low, or the MS is still in linking mode.
  19. For a sample of V5 techniques see this https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/21703-how-to-make-events-occur-every-year-between-certain-dates/?do=findComment&comment=232740
  20. I have had no problem with the modulo operator. What does "It does not work" mean?". "The answer is always 0"?, "the answer is incorrect"? "The answer never changes from the original quotient"? "The answer is not what I expected"? Let's work from there so you can understand how ISY works possibly. What was your test program. You can right click on your program and use "copy to clipboard" and then paste it here for more help.
  21. I don't have access to my ISY right now but what I would is define a State variable for each variable in the formula. Then I would create a program for each variable with a trigger condition for each variable involved in the program like this If .....$var1 ....or .... $var2 Then ....program to calc that variable Now when any value is changed the programs will self trigger and calculate each result into it's variable in a chain reaction. The decimals will have to set for each variable minding overflow quantities at 32 bit values. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  22. Yes but it would need to be known what the result you want is. 5778 what? Did you want the whole number portion and fractional parts in different variables M and m? Will A be changing each year and will it be used again? Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  23. 5778 what? Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  24. I don't know what 12 A could possibly mean but all basic math is possible in ISY. For the remainder it is called modulo $variable %= 12 For the integer of the division use. $variable /= 12 Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  25. Does it support Modbus?
