  1. Did Amazon actually announce this ugrade?
  2. At this point I would state that if you ever have problems with other appliances/electronics around the house it would be time for a serious look at your electrical system. Maybe just tightening ground and neutral connections. Possibly look into some disturbance protection on your electrical system. Make sure your cable TV, phone, or any other conductive incoming line into your house (used or not) is all connected to one good grounding location, You don;t want lightning disturbances looking for a place to go somewhere, go through your equipment.
  3. I have used another brand of the same style. Those are awesome connectors. I wonder if the push-in ones linked too are approved for use in Canada, Self grabbing connectors have caused many overheating problems in the past. I haven't seen them here but most of my shopping has been at HD and electrical supply houses, where they may not be apparent unless asked for.
  4. They only report changes. If you haven't forced any changes (testing) then ISY is still blind (shows blanks) by nobody telling it anything yet.
  5. I have never used or even seen a fanlinc relay. I find it hard to believe that they could get a 8.25 uf and a 4.75uf @ 250vac caps in that tiny box! Technology has changed a fair bit since my power supply electronics days. I guess I was basing my conclusion on only one live connection to the fan and complaints about motor hum. I concluded a triac dimming circuit possibly in error, further disproven by finding the voltage dropping large caps inside. I take it this is one device you haven't examined the published schematic for?
  6. Larger capacitor values conduct more current casusing the motor to have more power and go faster. Make sure to use non-polarised capacitors suitable for AC application. I thought the fanlinc was triac dimmer style circuit operation, not series capacitor voltage drop.. People using it have reported fan motor hum, classic of triac dimming.
  7. Everything needs to be tested. Even still, we all get caught while away sometimes. Put the sensor on the counter with a puddle of water and tap the button after drying off to clear the statuses.
  8. Have you power cycled the PLM yet? Bad PS capacitors like to bid their final farewell or heal somewhat after a rest sometimes.
  9. Welcome to the forums!! As per the usual database and spread sheet ordering in MS products, UDI has implemented the technique to mouse click on the top line where the titles of the columns are.
  10. One thing to keepin mind is that the backwashing requires fast flow to "fluff up" the resin beads and break down any calcium clumping. A sensor that creates any restriction make damage your softener function, and in the latest case I saw last year, all the plumbing fixtures in the house. Insurance does NOT like to pay for home owner negligence replacing every clogged water fixture. It's mainly at the tee intersection restriction for the three hole fixtures and steam heads in showers may require replacement of all stall tiling to access. It can get complicated real quick.
  11. I would have called support first. This is very rare.
  12. As a matter of inerest here is how I got around the log usage with ISY. A simple calcualtion of %RH divided by a factor of 5 was offered elsewhere but the curve gets way off at one end of the range. Note how this line has been used as an inline If/Then condition to fudge any humidity over 45% ...Repeat While $Variable > 45 This is to bring dewpoint resultant at that end of the curve, closer to the actual conversion curves . I use three programs like this, for conversion of inside, outside and cold cellar %RH humidities to dewpoint humidity readings. Sync.DewPoint.in - [ID 0128][Parent 0101] If $sHouse.humidity <= 100 Or $sHouse.temperature <= 100 Then $House.dewPoint.scratch2 = 100 $House.dewPoint.scratch2 -= $sHouse.humidity $House.dewPoint.scratch1 = $House.dewPoint.scratch2 Repeat While $House.dewPoint.scratch1 > 45 $House.dewPoint.scratch1 -= 45 $House.dewPoint.scratch1 *= 0.7 $House.dewPoint.scratch2 += $House.dewPoint.scratch1 $House.dewPoint.scratch1 = 0 Repeat 1 times $House.dewPoint.scratch2 /= 5 $House.dewPoint.scratch2 -= $sHouse.temperature $House.dewPoint.scratch2 *= -1 $sHouse.dewPoint.in = $House.dewPoint.scratch2 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
  13. Yeah. Dew point is only necessary where you compare two humidity levels. I calculate mine, dynamically, using ISY programs so Logs are not happenin' there. My usage is my cold cellar running at 10-18C degrees, and if you bring in warmer and lower RH% air, very often you will increase the humidity RH% as the temperature drops. Use SOAP RPN, I do not. To do the work for me, I like my computers.
  14. There is a troubleshooting chart based on the LED pattern. Not sure where to find it but Google is your friend. First try a power cycle of the PLM and ISY. PLM gets powered up first for a few seconds, and then ISY. If that doesn't work, try a factory reset. Research how to do it, so you have better access to proper troubleshooting information. I hope you have a good backup file. If you factory reset it, you will need the factory password, reset the location information and then use your back up file.
  15. That's awesome! Many people will have usage for that find. Softeners do a lot of clear water flushing at the end of the cycle but the salt could be a problem for some internal part maybe. Hopefully not, Price is excellent too. You da' man!
  16. I use dew point to run exhaust fans now. It is more predictive of the desired resultant. I discovered by exhausting air with a higher humidity than the outside air, I may still be increasing the humidity, instead of lowering it, once the incoming air is cooled down to the room temperature. Dew Point comparisons eliminate this and it's easy to calculate.
  17. Other than a multiple try or a better mail server I don't know. Repeat 2 times (Canuck = twice ) ...send X email notification to ES1400 ...send X sms notification to ES1400 ...wait 1 hour Repeat 1 times
  18. It's upgradeable right from inside your ISY admin console.
  19. hmmmm. I might have a screen shot somewhere here.... IIRC you are one of those apple guys and they only allow a single core
  20. Try deleting all the java cache stuff and reloading the admin console.
  21. This was reported by a previous poster about a year ago. Can't remember the fix though...sorry. I would try a factory reset of the ISY. You will have to fix your password and time zone options. Make sure you have a good backup image. I have had a few installation quirks in my time. The firmware was always great but the install got confused somehow.
  22. Has the admin console worked OK from the same device when at home, via the same comm path? You haven't said what type of connection you are using (public, private, hotel, shopping mail) or what type type of device you are using. ISY has a soft reboot found on the System? Tab on the far right.
  23. Sounds like a intermittent comm problem. I take it you are away from your LAN. The missing devices sounds like a hang during the data loading. My guess is ISY is fine. Do you have any anti-virus or firewall things on your remote device that have suddenly jumped into action, not liking your access? Some ports are not liked by public style access points.
  24. ahhhhh.. This would fit in with the checkbox at the end of every line idea, to enable/disable it. It would have a slightly different function in the If section.
  25. Probably all the same electronics and paddle but with one component missing that allows dimming to happen The paddles may put out Dim and Brighten also. Hey that could be useful for people controlling bathroom fans and other side jobs from the same switch. We know the light control can't respond to the strange paddle pushes. I don't have any On/Off Switchlincs. Are they relay contact or Triac?
