How can your tivo set a state variable? Your path does not contain a valid variable string format to cause a substitution. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-994i_Series:EMail_and_Networking_Substitution_Variables eg For a state variable in the 34th memory location use ${var.2.34}

Trouble with this is the wireless prerequisite. Not many battery operated devices sense water level. How is this done with other pool systems? If done at all automatically, it must be done in the pump control or processing centre.

The CAO Wireless Tags have a unit that takes a remote probe for water. It doesn't detect moisture but it could detect temperature if your water temperature was always cooler than your air temperature when you wanted filling. If it was cool outside you shouldn't need much refill. Not perfect but it may be a start of a better idea. You are going to need some box fastened tho the side of the pool or another immovable object in order to measure height. Nivotubes can do this but may be expensive and require wires. A small box inside the cleanouts may work. CAO Tags can also sense position and a small float with one strapped to the top could work. A laser reflections system may work at nights when waves are at a minimum. Sounds too complex but for no wires or breaking up concrete?

LOL. Love that one. Wife uses an iPad and I have learned to say "Sorry honey, I have no idea what kind of stupid idea they have there. I am afraid to touch that confusion anymore." Great game machines though if I played them. OK Thanks for all that. I have to go through it with a finer tooth comb later but... - I did discover I had to remove the second account from the phone it was done on. Third account disappeared by itself?? -All links of accounts was done under each device, so I had to unlink three devices from her phone. All my ISY Portal devices have begun to be accessible via vocals on a all GH devices now. YAY!! I am back to that point now. However I have not been able to reconnect my common account for calendar sharing. Back to the account games again. "Account for what?" ..and ISY Portal still gets refused permission to connect to GH, Despite unlinking from it and relinking, rebooting ISY Portal web access, waiting 30 minutes etc..grrrr.... as long as I don;t need to make any changes to my ISY Portal portfolio it won;t be a problem and I am back to being frustrated with GH turning on rooms full of lights when I ask for one (only two word allow in any device description phrase) I don't know where this problem is. Some of it seems like ISY Portal deficiencies (over Alexa) and some seems like googles attempt at AI, making assumptions. For now I will just try to avoid any HA with GH. I have until mid-May to decide if I dump them (I have a resource/drain of disposal) and stick with Amazon. Thanks much!

Thanks Jimbo. Trouble is there are so many circular links in this google app. It is really hard to tell where you are att and which account connection is being referred to Trying to follow your lead (I suspect you are using an iOS app duh!. Pixel2 XL ) here is what I find. Opening the app i find myself (after the waiting animation) at the "welcome Home" page. Clicking on the hamburger menu on the top left takes me to my single account at the top followed by a list of more menus. This includes "Home Control" In "Home control" I find my "assistant" and my three GH devices at the top and Universal Devices title with a complete list of all the ISY Portal elements listed below. Clicking on the triple dot menu on the top right, I find UDI (64 devices) listed at the top followed by a list of every company you can connect to, If I click on the UDI logo I am offered to unlink that account, only. However.... If I return to the first page of menus and click on "devices" I get four cards showing my three GH devices and my Onkyo receiver. In each of these is a triple dot menu on the top right with a "settings" menu option. Clicking a GH mini settings option gets me to a "Device Settings" page with a "Linked accounts" subtitle containing two accounts, my email address, and my wife's name. After a click on the accounts I get a list of those two accounts with mine containing an "X" to unlink the account from this device. If I complete the unlink for this device with this account, only my wife's name will be shown but this cannot be linked or unlinked. There is no options associated with this person. Now backing up to the devices page again and selecting a different GH mini device, it's only shows my wife's name as a "linked account". I have found absolutely no way to change this. When entering that account settings it is not shown as "other accounts" and there is no unlink "X" option and no mention of my account or any linked account. Again backing up (as per above) the third GH device shows two "Linked Accounts" linked to the device. Examining the details it shows my email address at the top and another subtitle "Other Accounts" with my wife's name underneath. So what I have found it - each of my devices has different accounts linked to itself - only one main account is listed in the root of the app - linking seems to be associated with each device and not with google accounts After my last rebuild last night, again the GH app linked to the UDI account (ISY Portal login password was proven to match again). A success screen is shown for the linking. All my ISY Portal devices are listed in the GH app again. All devices complain they cannot connect to my HA devices. ISY Portal complains it does not have permission to download into GH. The change? Now all three GH devices will not talk to ISY Portal instead of just one out of three. Fred is correct on this. the GH app is getting it's information from a cached memory of what was downloaded in the past somehow. Strange this was all working for many months until the DST change knocked my router offline for the night. When power cycled, two of minis started working after some time. .

How does one get rid of multiple google accounts linked to the GH app? I remember it was almost impossible to get the app to support more than one account but after deleting every ISY device, unlinking GH from the UDI account, for each GH device, uninstalling the GH app, deleting all memory remnants out of my mobile phone, and then power cycling it, when I reinstall the GH app, it still re-installs with all the same three accounts, and the UDI devices are still remembered without downloading them again, if I link to UDI . I have repeated this almost a dozen times now for the last two weeks but ISY portal will NOT download the device setup as it reports permission was refused. Multiple linked accounts cannot be removed anywhere I can find in the GH app. I do NOT used multiple accounts for HA. It was an attempt to use a shared calendar without sharing an email account only. This doesn't seem possible with Google. Unless somebody can instruct me how to make this work, the GH minis are going to get dumped soon. I have spent too many weeks on this now. Any help would be appreciated.

What are you regulating/varying the load with, and what are you measuring power with? I am not sure these things are measuring actual power but rather just current (probably not true RMS either) and multiplying it by a fictitious voltage factor. If this is the case, only average current would matter, and real power would not matter at all. Direction of power (less than zero = negative values) would be irrelevant and you would not be able to test that anyway. Power factor may do more crazy things so that it may respond to VA load instead of only real power (watts). If they actually do measure power (more complex) the nature of your load and test equipment becomes important to these tests. Setting your hysteresis higher than your trigger load may causes nonsense responses from these cheaply made devices. I have used two of these now and they both appear to be settable exactly as the names of the parameters suggest. I hope you factory reset your units properly before attempting anything on them. This can be a tricky process. You wouldn't believe what I have experienced before factory resetting some Insteon devices. I have had devices that sent out reversed statuses.

No. No. And no. The delay is stated as on delay. The trigger is the level an On is sent. Hysteresis is the difference between the Trigger on level and the off level. The Off send level is the Trigger level minus the hysteresis. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

I have one of three GH minis that I have unlinked and relinked several times but will not accept HA commands still. The other two GH minis, magically repaired themselves without any help from me AFAIK. After almost a week of rebooting and relinking I just gave up. It just sits there with only Internet information - news, weather, q&A. get tired of GH controlling devices I did not want changed.

My feeling is that google is changing their security frequently, and after awhile, users consider the constant barrage of "Update your security", just junkmail. if you ignore one, things stop working eventualy. They will not be ignored and want to own you. Google is becoming the equivalent of MicroSoft, constantly installing new ways to obsolete your system when they want to sell new products, using the "you are at risk" scare tactic. This has recently started with Win 7 now.

Mine has me locked out for a few weeks now. I am still working as well as GH ever worked (not very well at all wit it's grouping assumptions and lack of understanding more than any two words) It seems google keeps playing with security and they constantly send out requests for your password on mobile phones and other Google controlled browsers as they discover new ways to annoy users in the name of the world coming to an end via hackers. I believe I got one warning months ago that somebody was attempting to use my google ID for a location and website I was not familiar with. I refused it, and I now I fear it may have been the ISY Portal without proper identification. I cannot find any way to re-approve the ISY Portal account into my google permissions. I have found a google webpage to remove/manage accounts individually, but there does not seem to be any way to re-instate an ISY portal account access, once refused. I think that google assumes this to be all automatic from the request end, but never forgives or asks the account holder again. My wife and I talked today about getting rid of the three Google Home devices. They have been nothing but a PITA so far with performane and google constantly changing their security methods and forcing users to update. Google does not support anything but themselves very well while Amazon supports most connections to google.

Yeah, I only have 13 older models and no newer models but I understood ISY, as is (alpha) could give you enough to use them now. I know UDI has been waiting for the complete spec from SH for years now.

I don't have one but posts state they are completely functional as factory set????? Most Insteon devices have some way to set all options built in without ISY.

Welcome to the forums! You would still use "Get". This is not an information direction but rather a Ethernet protocol specification where all the information is carried in the URL.

NodeLink has an option to reboot ISY manually or automatically upon NodeLInk update.

Well, the stack thing was a bit of a jest and probably not worth all the effort, but it is good to know about the strings in progress. I have used shifting list algorithms in ISY before with up to 10 variables. A small ISY program handled it satisfactorily.

Sounds like a variable state stack process starting here. UDI! Can we have stack type variables where we can push and pull values in/out of a stack type variable? We should only require a depth of up to 32?

Can you post examples? This could be real interesting to many here.

Here you go. Looks like UDI is starting to investigate. Further input may help.

Stusviews uses a spare SH Hub to program them.

No. Please join into Apostolakisl's current thread regarding this.

Doesn't it come with a 6' cable?

Separate scenes for each level you want to have are necessary to do this with scenes. This may get complicated but one step at a time.... Create all the scenes you want to use. Create a program for each scene and in the If sections put a STATE variable equal to a different value. Like this If ....$sVariable = 1 Then ....set DimScene On Else ....blank For all the rest of the scenes add one to the number so $sVariable = 2, 3 ,4 etc.. Always add an Off scene and a program with If ....$sVariable = 0 Then ....set sceneOff On You can drop these into a custom folder you create, so you don't have to ever see them again. Now to prove these are working go to your $sVariable you created in the State folder, and type some values into it to test them out..... Cool eh? Now you can write your programs easily testing what state the lights are in and do things based on that. If ....(Control Switch1 is switched On ....OR ....Control of Switch2 is switched On ....) AND ....$sVariable < 7 <----maximum lighting = full on Then ....$sVariable += 1 Dont forget this one If ....control switch is switched Off Then ....$sVariable = 0 I suggest you use numbers that are in some kind of order to make it easy to just increment the $sVariable when you want brighter or decrement it when you want dimmer. Or you could do it by expected order in time.

Another obscurely documented feature of the older style, and I imagine they kept it in the newer units, is the immediate send of dark detection. Tap the button seven times very quickly and it will send it's current light detection level without any delay of sensing. Well it still has a delay of about 5 seconds to detect instead of 3-5 minutes.

No. The bottom four truth table lines show '--' for the sensor input. The manual seems to explain that the relay responds differently for each sensor state. Since we are beating the manual to a pulp it would be good to show those combinations not working if they actually don't. Due to this mode being one of the primary design application features of the ioLinc, I believe the manual could be correct and your table doesn't show the combinations with the changing logic for each input. I only use one to indicate garage door position and do not control mine so I have no experience with the manual shown hookup and alternating logic based on sensor input.
