I don't recall using any variable suffix to report temperature right out of the 2441ZTH units. EDIT: Just looking inside my notifications and I used... Util:${sys.node.20 48 B3 1.ST}C, RH:${sys.node.20 48 B3 1.CLIHUM}

My Rhoomba has vents on the sides for exhaling the air passed through.IIRC it does have a suction element but it may be on the same shaft. Definitely on the same motor. I didn't open it up as it has too much dirt on top of it.

It still takes about 5-6 seconds to stop when the lid is openned full speed spin. You can hear the brake drag sound but how it is done, I don't know. You would think an electronic magnetic brake would be used instead of a mechanical. I would be surprised if spin washing machines would be legal to be sold to the public. When you first open the lid and see 50 pounds of wet towels spinning at that speed, it's pretty scary! Getting a towel wrapped up in it while an arm tangled in the other end would not end well.

What would make more sense would be... Alexa. Cancel the vaccuum toy. I have guests.

I have always run Maytag washing machines. Well, I have had two in 45 years and still run the second 13 yer old one. I have never subscribed to the front load scam/fad. The clothes get off centre by just washing them, no matter how they are placed in the drum originally. My washing machines both have had sensors that shut the machine down if they get too eccentric and out of balance. Have you not been maintaining your sensors the way you are supposed to? What about the safety brake that stops the drum when opening the lid? Are you performing yearly safety checks? Human lives may depend on your following proper protocols. The biggest problem is the drain water not draining fast enough before the drum gets up to speed.

My Rhoomba does an awesome job of cleaning but I had to confine it a much smaller area. Any time I lift it up I find a completely dustless spot underneath it on the shelf. It takes a half the three quarter horsepower motor to run a good beater bar to get the dirt out of a carpet in a good upright vacuum cleaner and I still have to push and pull it The little 0.0004 hp motor never picked up enough dirt in the few pathways, that it didn't miss, to warrant taking up even half a duplex receptacle in my house. Then that receptacle was always blocked where I needed to plug in a functional vacuum cleaner, that could actually picked up more than just the odd dust specs, sitting on top of the pile. Great dreamware though.

Think of the portal as a safe way to be interactive with ISY from anywhere. The Network Module is a one way output only, locally initiated comms from inside your LAN, and doesn't handle any input data to ISY, no port forwarding is required.

Sounds like a lot of extra work. Alexa. Sort the clothes Alexa. Put the detergent in the washer Alexa. Put fabric softener in the washer. Alexa. Select wash'n wear cycle Alexa. Close the lid Alexa. Wait until I get back to my chair before starting. ....I didn't understand the question Alexa. Wait till I get back to my chair before starting. ....OK Alexa. Why did you stop the washer? ....The previous load of clothes out and the lid won't close. Sounds cool but I wonder if it will extend the washing day into a whole week of laundry. Should be cool to see what develops with this technology. Alexa. Can you abuse me with some other technology that's really cool? Only available to California residents.

Backing up a bit I realised I may not have been too clear on my last post.The contacts I was referring to were the Wall Switch contacts and you didn;t answer the question about how you are running the ioLinc. Anyway, what happens when you operate the ioLinc from the admin console, and what happens after you operate it and then query it? Something is really strange about this due to - two units simultaneously leading one to conclude... - some power spikes got into the electronics but the odd part is your fireplace is likely an isolated millivolt circuit and not liekly to attract a flash through from a powerline spike. We don't know the setup you are using.

Are you running the 5 vdc from the ioLinc across the room to a Decora switch or thermostat? You may need to replace or clean the contacts or retighten the connections after a summer of humidity. It doesn't take much for the very low voltage used for the sensing to "get lost", especially if used with normally 120vac device contacts. It may be possible to get a shot of contact cleaner into the device. You have lots of contacts though.

I find Alexa lies. At times he will say OK and never do anything. At times she will say, "I have found several devices with that name". That's also a lie, meaning she didn't parse the device properly, and gives random error mesages instead of, "I didn't understand" repeatedly. Some words are too hard to parse due to certain sounds, sounding like key phrase words. I was using a variable setting vocalised as "Speed" and Alexa asked me everytime which device I wanted and every....I repeat...every time would do as I asked on the second try. That is something wrong in the algorythm to do that without fail and repeatable over 50-60 times. I have since changed it to "rate"

Most of these videos are staged. We always have to think, 'Why was somebody recording the kid in the first place?' Sent from a tiny keyboard. Response may be brief. Did anybody notice a competitors voice gadget behind it?

Just Dad passing his skills down to his children. Note how so many people were yelling "no..no.." and other uneducated attempts?

The @XXXX is a standard forum trigger to alert the intended XXXX victim. I don't think it works in this forum.

That was only available to Pro users. I am not sure if that still applies.

This cannot be measured as the battery devices are not capable of being "open for business" continously.

Put the batteries back in. It may not be related and you "jogged it's memory", somehow?

It can take more than two degrees to get it to send a temperature update, especially if you are using foreign heat. Sent from a tiny keyboard. Response may be brief. Make sure you handle the blank values in your programs. IIRC it translates to 0 degrees.

I thought Trane was just rebranded Honeywell thermostats. Sent from a tiny keyboard. Response may be brief.

The phrase "latest" is meaningless as Stu posted. Clarification is being requested, that's all. I am running v5.0.8 as the latest version. There is latest release candidate. There is latest official release. There is latest alpha/beta firmware release.

Make sure you clean out your java cache and apps in the Java management app from Control Panel. Then run one of the links supplied with the version release thread. Sent from a tiny keyboard. Response may be brief.

This is thought to be caused by battery operated Insteon devices, with their multiple signal sends, clashing with another signal being sent from ISY and creating an all on signal erroneously. Check your programs for creating this condition. Possible cures is to use scenes between battery devices and intended targets when immediate responses are wanted, And Insert wait delays before echoing responses from ISY. Sent from a tiny keyboard.

Oh. I have issues but not like yours, so far. ....................mind moving away some? Sent from a tiny keyboard. Response may be brief.

I was just wondering where you would care about the spelling with Alexa. Are you referring to the Alexa app or Alexa website app? Sometimes more background helps people to give help, workarounds, and alternative methods.

Why do you need correct spelling? sent from a really small mobile keyboard, so may be a short response.
