If the LampLinc really runs on 12vac, it signifies one sensitive range circuitry, 12vac to 150vac operating range? Very impressive! If that is the actual case, we should be hearing a lot more about LampLincs burning out frequently with 120vac system usage surges and spikes. It's quite possible, but even multi-meters have a hard time with inputs to cover wide ranges like that. SH equipment doesn't have that reputation, with some other equipment. OTOH: Doorbell transformers rated at 16vac have been measured up to 30vac, because it isn't critical and some manufacturer found they can rate the output voltage at 110vac input and full rated load on the secondary. Small core transformers are very poor efficiency and voltage stability with such low iron content.

Do you have a good and recent ISY backup?

First impresssions: Google Home vs Amazon Alexa

Anything that ISY can control can be used with the Portal. -
I'll order one but I want the scene to indicate Off when it gets to the second last bar of the music. Better to be scene and not heard. You aren't the guy selling scenes on eBay are you? I have a scene called "All Off" that I use every night. It's an Insteon ALL OFF simulator since I can't seem to get one when I need one. OK,..let's not make a bigger scene here. Are we bored (sp?) yet? BTW: I just finished up my OB Mate3 modbus interrogator with ISY stuffed parameters. My RPi3 will never get a divorce from my ISY now. Now what do I do with the data? I wanted to know about solar levels for ISY logic but the PV panels are covered in snow for months in the winter. hhmmmmmm...think some of the blind controls would work for PV panel wipers?

It would be cool to see UDI release a drop in Polyglot server for old ISY99s.

Would make a great little Ethernet only controller,but I would severely miss the v5 features. I wonder how much math and conditional logic v3.3 is missing. Did it support REST calls or Network Resources in order to make it a fairly complete Ethernet logic box?

My apologies. I used the wrong command signal. I have since corrected it. Try the switched Fade Down, It will work as one of the simplest programs, f your devices are linked to ISY properly. Right click on your program, copy to clipboard, and post it here using the advanced editor (More Reply Options) They are not hacks, they are programs, and why you didn't get a Hub. The programming may seem tough at first but you will find it very enabling.

I have 400-500 programs running. I got most of them really cheap. One very simple solution was offered in post #2 that could solve one "problem". If you can hold down a paddle for a few seconds then the delay incurred by the Insteon protocol using an ISY program should not be noticed. It should take you about 2 minutes to install and it will last for years.

Get a SwitchLinc Dimmer that understands the commands sent. Possibly petition SH to make an option to disable the dim/brighten command from the 2477S SwitchLincs. They may listen and actually do something in a few decades. OR Get an ISY994i problem solver and learn to make things work your way!

Failing Air Conditioner, ISY944i, and Nest thermostat
larryllix replied to m_theredhead's topic in ISY994
Unfortunately as posted by others Nest will not give out their local API. It is rumoured there are hacks out there but that would take a third party CPU to run some hacking software to get parameters into your ISY. Cloud works most of the time, but relying on IFTT is probably the least secure you can get. -
Other than some edits into sane names, this has become the bible of leak programs, http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/11566-leak-sensors-a-suggested-complete-program-package/?hl=%2Bsuggested+%2Bleak

This has become the bible for many of us. Most may have modified (edited to meaningful names) it after installing but it has been tested for a long time. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/11566-leak-sensors-a-suggested-complete-program-package/?hl=%2Bsuggested+%2Bleak

You could use an ISY program to translate the dim signal into an Off signal. IIRC all SwitchLinc paddles send out all the dimming signals despite their own load controls circuits not capable of dimming. If ....SwitchLinc is switched dim Fade Down Then ....set SwitchLinc Off Else ...--- Edit: Corrected termimology

UDI has spent countless development months on Zwave. If there is a rock in the garden a plant's root has to grow around it. Good companies don't disclose business relationships publicly, while there is still hope.

From the other thread: I guess I don't understand the purpose or the point of the ISY finder applet but in three years of using ISY the finder has never found my ISY yet, and tried on many different computers. I have always had to manually add my ISY's IP address to the Finder. Then, if there are two possible addresses listed I have to manually select one every time to load the admin console.
-
In the other thread you started for this, you stated your ISY was assigned a static IP address that was not included in your router allowed IP address range. If the IP address is not part of your router's LAN it will not likely route any of it's data through to the Internet. Turn DHCP back on in your ISY and reboot it, as a trial for the portal. Right now your ISY is not on your LAN sub-net and nothing should respond to it.
-
If your ISY is not on your router accepted IP addresses for your LAN it probably won't pass the data requests through it and back, from the Internet. Turn off your static IP address and then reboot your ISY as a trial.
-
I have had routers that would not allow traffic to devices on my LAN if they were not inside the router's IP assigment range. Acted like a Steve Jobs product "Total control...end to end!"
-
Two routers will likely confuse your whole network. Only one DHCP server should exist on your LAN. Your new router needs to be set up to match your previous IP addresses established in your softwares. Turn the old router off, and configure your new router to the same same subnet address range as your old router was. Install an IP address reservation for your ISY into the new router's DHCP IP address reservtion table and turn on DHCP in your ISY (losing the static IP assignment). Let your router assign it or you will likely have clashes later and your whole LAN can go nuts.

It probably needs more radiant heat isolation between the humidty sensor and the electronic circuitry. Every time the transmitter sends a signal or executes some algorithm the extra heat drops the sensor RH%. My log file is 5.25 MByte since July 7 - July 27. I get a heartbeat from a Venstar stat every 45 seconds, ecobee3 stat every 60 seconds, WC8 weather station (8 values every 20 seconds), NRBridge RGBW LED software, and regular humidity reports from two 2441ZTH stats and updates from 4 CAO tags for humidity, temperature, battv, & X,Y,Z position every minute or so. I think UDI must have installed some log file size management, as last time I looked at it, it took almost an hour to load into Wordpad on a small machine. BTW: In v5.x I have noticed there is an an option checkbox for both my 2441ZTH stats "Send Humidity". I have no idea what it does or if it even functions. The option checkboxes do not stay set when loaded, each time.
-
That's only about one update every 45 seconds. The ISY CPU will outperform anything a totally flooded Insteon protocol channel could throw at it.
-
It seems to me that the constant humidity update may have been designed to act as an Insteon heartbeat from the stat. Unfortunately ISY has no program feature using triggered events to detect the signal if the value doesn't change.

Leak Sensors - Another (Suggested) Complete Program Package
larryllix replied to rabbit1543's topic in ISY994
I used a KPL, that I used for my security system code. I have installed detection for several different codes to reset my well pump and washing machine as well as toggling my security system programs. For the washing machine leak, and well shut off, I send the reset code with the notification. 'Well pump shut off. After checking basement for leaks, reset the pump by pressing code AAAA on the laundry room keypad. For the washing machine BBBB. Sent from my SGH-I257M using Tapatalk -
Questions. 1) Are your garage doors involved in any scenes? 2) Do all the Insteon devices in your house go on with these events?
