RGBW has to have 5 pins. If you cut the 5m length into four lengths, then two of them will have no connections on the ends. I have done soldering all my life and I doubt I could solder another set of wires onto a silicone dipped PCB strip that the foil will evaporate when you apply a soldering iron to it. If you are thinking about the solderless, 5 pin, snap on connectors, they sell on eBay, I have a box of them and the spacing is incorrect. They don't work despite the cons they give you on eBay. The vendors admit it but still sell them for those strips. They short out some connections. The 5m strips come with connectors welded on each end. You will have to fold the 2.5m lengths in half for easy factory made connections.

You may want to use the single width strip folded back. They come in 5m (15.4') lengths with connectors on each end. Cut in half and folded would give you 49 inches. I suspect inside a tube could give you heat problems and burn out the LEDs though. LEDs run hot when confined and can't take their own heat generated without lots of cooling. The SMD5050 RGBWW strips have a beautiful white that appears to run about 3000-3500K. I have several RGBCW strips that I replaced after seeing the WW strips. The CW ones were way too violet, against 6500K fluorescent tubes, and not what I consider white at all.

The Admin Console has always been intended as a maintenance port and not really for various users to operate devices from. Multiple levels of access would make more sense from the mobile apps available, and/or rest interface.

Just to complicate things.... I send a similar notice with the last known time ISY was running. This takes V5.0.4 to record the time into a variable, and another variable to know if the notification has been sent and continue updating the $last_known_time variable. The user can subtract the last known time from the message time to determine the length of power down time.

In the program summary tab you can right click on any program and see the option in the falldown menu.

Wasn't that when Prime Minister Horton got his double double in parliament on that one?

I have six exterior doors that have glass in them and wouldn't need to buckle, just break. I also have about 19 reachable windows that wouldn't need to buckle either.

Nope. I had one early Chrome version forced on me and one I installed voluntarily. Ruined both my systems and they both had to redone down to the bare HDD sectors to get control back. I don't install Chrome on my Windows machines, anymore. I prefer to have all the features of IE also and Chrome doesn't support so much now. Chrome is fine for mobile devices that you don't expect much from. I woud rather go without some HA than risk those problems again.

Well Thanks. Maybe there is another way using windows tools. For now I'll have to leave it in the USA.

I am using chrome on a 12" touchpad that the apps always think is a phone.Obviously this is not the right Chrome version. I only get "to download send yourself a reminder" That is the only link on the page. I changed over to the desktop version and the whole format changed to the same as IE shows with the tabs, but there is still no link to download or install anything. Another reason I am beginning to avoid Chrome, even more. It's so half baked and missing display of half the Internet. It's so 1980s but I am forced into it with my phone.

That's the webpage I was talking about. There is only a link that invokes my email program to send anybody a link to the same webpage you are on. Am I missing some hiding link there?

As long as ISY gets notified! Afterall, this is an HA forum, not a security forum! I always love the super-nichrome-herculean-krytonite metal hardened, impenetrable, security deadbolts right beside the door sidelites, made of breakable glass. ....and safety glass too, as you don't want the burglar to get a cut!

The only Request Maker I can find it the website that offers a webpage service. I found a so-called download site that creates an email reminder with a link back to itself again?? No luck finding any plug-in but I did see mention it works with Chrome drive. I have avoided that like the plague, so-far, as I avoid most Chrome things after destroying two machine in the early days.

There must be a completely different layout in Chrome. The address is in another submenu in IE and the top right box isn't there at all. I'll have to try an Android computer with Chrome. I take it request maker is the key to this, getting around an invalid Zip code?

You would have to drill a hole deeper than the tongue of the deadbolt plus the length of the HDS. Without having one you may be past the doorframe stud and jack stud into the insulation of an outside wall. It would be hard to service when you need to check/change batteries.

Well I have one that wroks perfectly and a newer one that ISY can't control. So who knows what new jumble SH has come up with and not told anybody? The RMA was probably the best bet while the iron is hot.

I hope you attempted to force an update with a hair dryer or some hot breath on it before giving up on it. The 2441ZTH takes about 1.5 degrees before sending updates. Humidity sends on a cyclic timed basis. Longer on batteries than on AC power. Init to variables need to be set so that upon power cycling ISY it has a current/stale temperature to work with otherwise ISY assumes a 0 degree reading until the next temperature send.

Post your request for the time delay script character in the Feature Request section. I had suggested that some time back to accommodate MiLight controlling Network Resources needing a 100mSec delay. A special character sequence to accomplish that would have been perfect.

I don't have one. Mine was a question about it. There is brag about the API being so easy in you posted article link but I would be sure this API is about output from Echo only.

The excellent voice rendering of the Echo could be an awesome output for our ISY HA. Has anybody seen any progress on hacking into this API?

We notice a distinct difference in attitude between the two. Siri has mostly smart Alec retorts, whereas Alexa is much more polite.

No MWester was correct. Apologies for misstating that. I forgot that extra hardware was required in answering your question and making those claims. V5 was available 6 months ago but not plug-in, stand-alone software. ISY is reported to probably not ever accept other software plug-in as it has no user style OS but only enough specialised OS to handle the ISY logic engine, and a few other related tasks, like drivers for comms, and user access. Think of a RPi as a second CPU that will become part of your ISY connected by an Ethernet port. They will act and become one multi-CPU environment.

Here is a screen shot of NodeLink providing a plug-in, drop-in software module, with ISY v5.0.5, and my MiLight RGBW LED strips. This isn't a Hue bulb but there is no Insteon or Zwave native communications involved. "I don't see the difference! Do you see the difference?"
