Just be aware that enabling or disabling programs, whether in a folder or by program list, will cause the programs to stop mid-stream and not complete their missions. You may have devices still turned on or off and variables set to values not wanted.

I don't think you need to run the next program in each case. The statuses will be self triggering each program. Something like this should work. If 'Downstairs / Stairs' Status is not Off Then $Num_Lights_On += 1 Else $Num_Lights_On -= 1

RPi was considered but the royalties on it's usage were prohibitive, apparently. RPi runs on SD card storage which tends to fail as the SD cards have limited read/write capabilities. Also. power failures tend to leave unwritten data on memory cards, due to slow EEROM writing processes.

Not sure exactly what you are trying to achieve. Are you trying to turn on a selected number of lights based on a variable quantity? If so how would ISY know which lights you want? Post your programs so people can get clarification of what you are trying to accomplish.

Nice! That model was on my list but I decided to stick with a more common one. The main deal-breaker was the spool compartment wouldn't take 1kg spools. Unfortunately, the supplied instructions with mine for auto-leveling were confusing due to language translation and not up to date with all the latest gadgets they put on them now and I ripped the PEI off the flexible plate, badly. They sent me a new PEI plate but it is very smooth and I haven't tried it yet. I am envious of the WiFi. I have to use SD cards to transfer the files but many are recommending to use a spare RPi with USB to achieve that. Now to become proficient with the slicer and learn a 3D CAD program to design my own.

Yeah, I have all the new gadgets and the instructions don't really support it yet.

Possibly the new port number usage is a problem? Some updates can change port numbers.

I am the same. I have run a few test prints off before the print nozzle tore the surface off the metal plate. These things are quite complicated and can be a steep learning curve. Of course the instructions never match the model you have and the chinLish is terrible. I am told this (3-6 months of destroying things) is all normal from many experienced people. It takes a while and somebody with experience showing you how it's done definitely helps. Best of luck.

With that many people behind it, one has to wonder that they just manually respond to our questions. The seasoned typists could just enter the memorized macro sequence 'F6' for common answers. Anybody know when the new comedy TV series 'Best Alexa Questions' starts on Prime TV? Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Totally agreed but until somebody releases a 40 GB cpu that can do it, it isn't likely to happen. Then there is the constant vocabulary adjustments that need to take place and the Engrish language constantly evolves. Big project. let me know how it goes with your team of readers training the beast. :) Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

I have about four GH units sitting in boxes as google always attempts to use AI (equivalent to guessing) for the HA. When I would say Hey Google. Turn on red lights, she would make an assumption that everything in the list with Red in the name is what I wanted. Likewise, if I said turn on bedroom lights, she would send out commands to my ISY to turn on Red Bedroom Lights, Blue Bedroom Lights, White Bedroom Lights, Purple Bedroom Lights, Green Bedroom Lights, Orange Bedroom Lights, Yellow Bedroom Lights, Christmas Bedroom Lights, New Years Bedroom Lights, Easter Bedroom Lights, Canada Day Bedroom Lights, and a few more. Poor ISY got flooded with commands and could not cache them all while my bedroom lights flashed different colours. That is just one example of their applied AI attempts at stupidity. All those names contain the word Bedroom. I don't know if GH is still making their AI assumptions but it doesn't belong in vocal commanded home control. I don't need my coffee pot turned on when I close my blinds or turn on my TV. I don't need to manually check what happened every time I use a vocal command. It is easier to just walk over and turn the knob. For some time Alexa was starting the same nonsense but it seems to have subsided again. Positioning of the Alexa devices is very important. I find a wedge under my 8" Show make all the difference in the world for it hearing but Alexa always will ask. "Did you mean....?" GH would just make an assumption and turn on the fire extinguisher to flood the house with foam because it was the closest spelling to something in it's assumption dictionary. It was dangerous.

I have no problem installing it. I just have problems finding it or instructions how to find it. Thanks but I don;t run Norton on anything for the last twenty years. It is a virus that interferes with an O/S..

My upgrade from V5.5.2 worked flawlessly except for the 4 beeps. I got 5 beeps and then a single beep a few seconds later. This was my second successful update from my Admin Console. No rebooting or restarting my Ecobee NS was required. Previously only the SSH method ever worked properly. Minor bugs existing for a few versions now, are still not fixed.

Like this. https://www.amazon.ca/Jasco-Direct-Wire-Lighting-Bypass-52327/dp/B08ZJQV7W2/ref=sr_1_5?crid=284MXKKTB28XK&keywords=dimmer+flicker&qid=1673965665&sprefix=dimmer+flicker+%2Caps%2C102&sr=8-5

Yes. BTW: a state variable value change always causes a trigger in the If section of an Enabled program. Depending on outcome of the If section logic, Then or Else is run.

I would be loading various app to see if any will find them and be compatible. That is how you can discover a compatible protocol and NS to be compatible with them. Most of the WiFi bulbs now are either Tuya or LEDenet/Magichome protocol now. Both have plenty of hacks for them. MagicHome app would find them and offer to co next to them by itself if they are compatible. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

UDI has always included more fixes than mentioned in docs. Of course there are still many bugs from jumping to V5 yet that may have been forgotten with all the Zwave, eISY, PG3, and now Matter excitement.

It doesn't appear it would solve @GeorgeRufle's problem of finding the last day of each month. I would have thought that would have been a supplied field since I have only ever figured any way except a bruteforce method using a list of 12 and some logic magic for leap years. IIRC, I wanted to accomplish this myself once but ended up changing my human logic instead and went for another date in each month instead. An even more perplexing one is to determine Easter but I think @asbrilhas the NS for that one using a Google calendar.

I would backup my v4 programs well and check them, then migrate to V5. IIRC the process has been smoothed out a lot and fairly easy now. When I migrated right at the birth of V5 it made a mess and was a lot to clean up. However then you can run polyglot v2 on a RPi or use the calendar functions I created to not rely on any other hardware devices...and cheaper too.

Old thread here but...I just went through this horrible attempt to update and then install the newest IoX Launcher again. It took me over 30 minutes to find out how to install this gadget again. I thought the idea of the ISY Launcher was so we wouldn't have to keep updating the Launcher and yet here we are back to ISY v4.xx again, having to delete everything and reload the correct Launcher again??? I thought that was fixed to automatically match the launcher to the ISY version?? What have I missed?

You could make a list of the dates you want it to trigger on in your If section for the last day of each month, but the OP was asking about once per month. The beginning of each month, or particular date in each month would definitely be much easier to detect. The floating holidays (long weekends) take a second line or ore to detect the day is Monday. You may also note in the program linked to there is a variable $sISY.DayOfMonth that will tell you when it is the 28th, 30th or 31st but you would still need to parse these out for each particular month. As @jec6613 posted above, now that PG3 can be contained in the same box it may be more secure to use the node server but it does require dependence on more cloud services than just the ISY clock. I am not sure if there is a last day of the month flag provided. I have never used other NSs except to test for current technology growth.

I have layed this out several times before. I use it throughout my ISY programming for events that repeat every year. Isolating a monthly change should be quite easy.

Temperature is classically an analogue value. In an iSY program you can add logic lines such as If xx.temperature <= 23 degrees Then set heater On Else -- The result of a tested analogue is a logical status.

Typically, web cams do not make good motion sensors. Cams work on visible light and MSes typically work on iR light which detects less glitches and can be illuminated without blinding humans. Of course the wild animals can be very attracted to the iR light. Many better quality cams have a separate MS sensor to trigger recording.
