I tried it in one small room but I thought it was slowing down the response. It did seem to make a difference for response speed and I never put the jumper back on. In a small room the reach range shouldn't make any difference. As an aside: I had one report motion while I wasn't home again. Then my webcam didn't connect to verify anything. Suspecting problem I forgot about it until I got home to find a 9v battery testing at 4.5 vdc. No LowBatt signal...and I record them (lowBatts) in ISY in a variable that hold three unit's records at a time.

Mine is up OK also. Perhaps your ISY connection has changed addresses or something ISY related has changed?

It may give some problems with direct scene links between devices but a simple program can alleviate and logic reversals needed. Is it important to not have a 1 second delay between garage door starting to open and the KPL LED coming on/Off?

No hardware or wiring changes are needed. Just take out the Reverse Trigger option and reverse your code logic. THis is easy. First change you device node to read the correct status like "Garage door open" or "garage door closed" ...whichever is correct when On. Then change your If section logic to the reverse logic like... Garage Door Open = On instead of Garage Door Open = Off or Garage_door closed = On instead of Garage door closed = Off...etc. There is a reason that ISY is programmable.

Since you found a changed setting, without a reasonable explanation, I would factory reset the stat and start again. This may cure other problems also.

Is there an Insteon clinic? Did I miss something? Sent from a tiny keyboard. Response may be brief.

Sure. Blame it all on us! Sent from a tiny keyboard. Response may be brief.

Was that link the in ended one? I only get a short discussion on x XML. Sent from a tiny keyboard. Response may be brief.

Thanks. See posts previous for clarification. Sent from a tiny keyboard. Response may be brief.

With no ZWave devices I do not find any bugs in the v5.0.8 firmware. I do find bugs in the admin console ui though. Programs have always run as expected since forever 2015 v3 Sent from a tiny keyboard. Response may be brief.

Yeah, I think you are right. The looping comment is right after the ISY comments so I probably misunderstood it's association. Thanks. Sent from a tiny keyboard. Response may be brief. I can't read the scrambled script on my android Tapatalk, right now, but will definitely be looking at this when I get back to a decent browser.

Maybe you don't know about event triggered programming style. No looping is required. Just put a simple variable =150 in the if section and Then will run every and any time the value changes to 150. Of course you need to use a STATE variable to make it trigger programs auto magically. Sent from a tiny keyboard. Response may be brief.

See Stu's comment above. If you are using the latest V2 Skill then On runs Then and Off runs Else. It doesn't matter what is in the If section then as ut will never be run. I don't use scenes as they are only for Insteon (I have no Zwave) but I have many other types of lighting LED strips and smart bulbs. I only use programs and single devices to control from my Alexa vocals.

The Portal exists in the cloud = UDI server. You connect to it (Portal) and it has an intimate releationship with your ISY and no router security holes created.

Echo doesn't know the diferrence between types of devices, only that they are all just names with vocal definitions.

CAO TAGs Sent from a tiny keyboard. Response may be brief.

Another thing I noticed is the restricted text area. The outside only seems to generate patterns and the Centre displayed about seven characters of text. Way too small for larger messages. Sent from a tiny keyboard. Response may be brief.

Very cool display idea! What are the arms sticking out in various directions for? LOL Seriously! My one sons loves to do this at parties. Nobody ever believes him,until he demonstrates it. It went like this with two teenage girls. Hi! What grade are you in? ....we are both in grade ten. (pulls out his pocket watch with hands) Can you tell me what time this shows? ...I don't know...(shrugging shoulders) (turns to the other girl) How about you? Can you tell me what time this shows? ....I don't know. We never took that in school.

Only if you take the combination package where you subscribe to the Network Resource module instead of owning usage of it forever.

What were you thinking to bridge Alexa to the rest interface? Sent from a tiny keyboard. Response may be brief.

Look for threads here about the CAO Tags. People love their features and accuracy and multiple options to support isy and also work in dependant if anything else. For a self controlled heat zone without any safeties I would really avoid the Insteon thermostat. I have two now and wouldn't trust them for much. Read more threads about them about 2015 year.

I cycle mine in coordination with the furnace fan cycles so that they share a common fan cycle. I decide whether to short cycle (3 minutes) or long cycle (50 minutes) the HRV depending on these criteria. -Evening cool down House Temperature >= Setpoint AND House temperature >= Outside temperature AND ( House humidity >= humidity setpoint AND House humidity dewpoint >= outside humdity dewpoint ) OR ( House humidity <= humidity setpoint AND House humidity dewpoint <= outside humdity dewpoint ) ...OR -Morning recovery House Temperature <= Setpoint AND House temperature <= Outside temperature AND ( House humidity >= humidity setpoint AND House humidity dewpoint >= outside humdity dewpoint ) OR ( House humidity <= humidity setpoint AND House humidity dewpoint <= outside humdity dewpoint ) If either of the two conditions are true then the HRV gets a long cycle, otheriwse it gets a short cycle. I have a large room humidifier for the whole house and if I bring in too much fresh ait in the winter I have to fill 3 gallons of containers with water almost twice per day. By managing it with ISY I can fill them about every two-three days. If I shut the HRV off totally after about a week we feel lethargic and not well. Yes, our home is air tight within an inch of it's life and double 2x4 walls, each with R-13 insulation, and completely covered in crack sealed 2" of Styrospan for an additional R-10 with no framing stud breaks. Some walls are thicker and fully insulated. HRV air is needed or our clothes dryer would not work or the range burner exhaust fan. We have to breathe as a compromise to saving heating costs.

I haven't seen any changes here yet, for mine. Amazon needs to add a few more names that aren't quite so common and enough of them, that every TV show and movie doesn't trigger it a dozen times per evening by harrassing the poor girl with ridicule. I hope the girl that "donated her voice" is getting paid well. She sings quite a few songs now.

I have had two Insteon MSes fault and sent erroneous motion detected signal while I was away for extended times and could not do anything to investigate. When I a security system subscriber I never had one of my 6? wired-in DSC MSes fault ever. This is what I am being told by professionals also. they all may do a good job of detection but it's the faulted detection that is the problem. You are half way around the world....now what do you do? Since then I have instituted a two or greater before taking level 5 action. Also you will find that MSes for intruder detection (surprise!) will not be placed in the same locations as HA MSes.

It could be done easily by having a RPi run a heartbeat program off an insecure AC circuit. Have ISY monitor the heartbeat. Nodelink already contains this feature if you have need, or use it, for anything else.
