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.

IoX was announced to run on any ISY device. I am not sure this will be accurate at some point as hardware becomes obsolete for the new softwares released. Just stagnate and keep using what you have already. It may not be what the future brings 100% but it worked before and will continue to work.... ...unless you like the bleeding edge??

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.

Try aartech.ca for out of USA purchases. Shipping will usually be cheaper, and warranty will actually be honoured in a better fashion, based on the old Insteon. Hopefully the new Insteon gets their ship together on some of these points. My guess is Insteon has created an exclusive dealership with aartech.ca and we will never see Insteon shipping directly to Canada again.

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.

Not entirely. Business politics. Shipping costs and exclusive rights to sales in some areas..

I want my single lightswitch to be able to send the universal codes over the universal protocol to turn on my sound system and tune it to the station I am thinking of today. If music isn't playing right now on that station, I want it to load the vinyl record album of the particular band I was thinking of, drop it on my turntable and play the selected track the lightswitch requested. I mean everything should be compatible using Matter, right? Is everybody dreaming?

3 of my four ASUS routers worked much better...99% when they weren't overheating, living on a muffin fan. The other one was a manufacturing defect...bad design and ASUS knew it and added more memory without telling or compensating the thousands of already owners. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

After four different ASUS routers I found they do not properly reboot with the reset button or software reset for certain problems. Try the power cycle method with a good 5-10 seconds of off time. You may want to power cycle your polisy at the same time allowing plenty of time after the router stabilises. BTW: Check you posted IP address. IIRC: The 192.168.50.x subnet was only for the initial factory reset of some ASUS routers. I would change that to the 192.168.0.x subnet or you may be in for a world of pain with your whole house of devices.

Open a support ticket with UDI. Michel will get you sorted out. I had similar problems way back and it always seemed to me some files were located in directories with locked out permissions because they wouldn't stay.

I do the same thing with my Magichome bulbs and LED strips. However I do not know what the drivers look like you are using as I use my own bridge software. With my software I use NR commands to send the colour, brightness levels and a list of bulbs I want affected and my NRbridge software distributes the commands to the appropriate bulbs. All my Alexa commands operate programs and the ISY programs control all the levels and colours. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Why is the helium all yours?
