V5.xx offers much more accurate methods of doing cyclic timers based directly on ISY's internal clocks..
-
Thanks. I got this figured out after Mwareman kicked my butt around a bit, in a post above.
-
Geeeezzzz. I though you were making a joke. Maybe I better revoke my gui complaint I made about that same thing. oooops! Here I thought they just went by Lat. and zone in v5 but left a dangling nomenclature bug. Thanks Michael. Turns out I was off a few degrees.

We have MS in Canada but we are working on a cure for those that suffer with it.

@Scott Thanks (GDP) V5.0.4 uses a different style of custom location. Note no longitude entry field. Only a few cities listed in Canada also. There many cities between Toronto and Ottawa. Some of them so big they are opening libraries and Google maps is starting to ask about them..
-
Have you tried an ISY power cycle? Maybe the DST sets up automatically on reset. I wonder what Paul uses. We throw stuff back and forth at each other across the Detroit Creek. EDIT: He reported above. I hear the ISY power cycle doesn't need much peddling either.

How am supposed to make a smart comeback when you use complicated acronyms? You sure know how to kill a conversation!
-
I forgot, you guys had to buy Alaska and Hawaii to keep up with the Canadian time zone count. We have another one and half time zones east of GMT-5.
-
IIRC in v5.0.4 the DST is greyed out and the longitude in the custom locations has been replaced with the time zone.

Only when the system is at a critical point and once you use three times the expected energy consumption allowed at cheaper rates ($0.11) for household per month. http://www.pge.com/tariffs/electric.shtml#RESELEC_TOU Sure gives being energy economical new meaning for many US citizens.

Did AA help any?

You don't state what ISY version you are running. Tennessee is probably the closest listed area in the EST zone. There aren't that many preset cities listed so I have always had to use custom lat-long figures.

Since this is an old thread you may try quoting the person your questions are directed at to get their attention like I just did to you. Some get notifications on the mobile devices from this action, also. Other's that watch the forum closely may answer anyway.

If On Sat, Fri Time is 6:30:00PM I am going to hazard a guess that at 6:30 on the other days (Sun,Mon,Tues,Wed,Thur) the logic is re-evaluated and it is False stopping the Then section from running further. I haven't tested this. Perhaps other have tried this algorithm.

I had a lot of problems with the same thing way back using IE. You probably need to add your ISY IP address or URL to your antivirus software and your java setup.

"Off the 480v" is not specific and usually refers to the system only. I have never heard of lighting connected to two phases. Step down transformers are sometimes connected phase to phase and the secondary 120vac runs the lights. In Canada, many commercial and industrial buildings run 600v lighting but this only means "system" The lighting is always connected to neutral = 360 vac. This way single pole switches on the wall are required and only one pole breakers are used for each circuit. Electricians are required to change light bulbs. Older buildings were run on 600v 3 phase 3 wire and then phase to phase loads were all that were available. Step down transformers were always used for lighting running at 120vac. In later years, once the Engineers were under control, 3 phase 4 wire system were introduced to accommodate 360v lighting and the 3 phase 3 wire system are being phased (pun intended) out. The 3 phase , 3 wire systems were floating to ground, and one customer could cause a shared transformer neighbour's equipment to burst into flames when they weren't even there. It takes two to tango. Who ya' gonna' call?

Sure, buy or borrow a SmartHome Hub, programme the bulbs and take the Hub back telling them it isn't compatible. Better yet, find a friend with a Hub....group Hub anybody?
-
If no change in status is had status will not trigger the program to keep track. Control will count signals sent regardless of status change in the end device.
-
Some brands of devices turn on by themselves so you don't have to use an app to control them. You just flip the switch of and then on and the bulb or appliance will come on. I avoid these types of devices.
-
Local pushbuttons and the dimmer circuits are two different style devices in the same container. The dimmer circuitry does not send out command signals as a slave type device, only the pushbuttons and rocker switches on SwitchLincs, etc. send out commands when operated. Sensors send commands also when a change is detected. Commands are detected in ISY by use of "control/switched" and position of dimmers and contact outputs are detected by "status" in program logic. This takes a while to become accustomed to the difference.

I learned my lesson with X10 modules years ago. Hue bulbs do the same stupid thing but the MiLight bulbs and strips don't. I have mostly MiLights now. This feature is designed to have the bulbs on a switch so you don't have to walk around with an app glued to the side of your head. I have a power up program for ISY that turns my Hue bulbs off, so I only have to tolerate a few minutes of operating room conditions in the middle of the night.

He did say "....but in the morning you find your microwave clock blinking?"

Which ebay? That item isn't found.

You started with 480v and then stated 120v or 277v. Which is it? You also haven't stated what type of load you want to switch and that is important. The unit referenced by Apostolakisl will work fine for 120 and 277 volt incandescent lighting loads but not for motor loads. It should work fine for 240 volt resistive loads also. Motor starting inrush current as well as counterEMF voltages, when turning it off, will likely burn the unit out very quickly.
