Yes, USB, Ethernet, or Serial port dongle. IIRC the polisy doesn't contain a serial port though driven by a "driver". The PLM is only a protocol converter, or type of modem. With three Ethernet ports the Hub could be used also.

Looks good except put your $porta_da_sala = 0 in the Tnen section after Wait 10 seconds . The Else may never run. I guess you may have noticed the $porta_da_sala (spoken terminology) will appear like a device in the Alexa app by now. Also, if you ever disconnect your accounts (Portal and Alexa) the Routines will still exist but have to be rebuilt to the variables. If you use the Notifications via ITTT (bottom of the selected actions) you can choose any combinations of speakers you like. If you choose too many it will become hard to understand, sounding like a lot of echoes.

In The ISY Portal you use the pulldown menu to acccess your Alexa "devices" Select a variable and then select a Motion Sensor below. You would then enter a 1 for "detected" and a 0 for "not detected". Make sure your ISY program makes the variable = 1 for about 10 seconds and then = 0. Never less than 30 seconds apart or the Alexa Routine will ignore your triggers. (anti-hacking) The name you enter in the ISY Portal Alexa chart will define the name of the pseudo device in the Alexa App you will find and use in the Routine.

Do you think the Alexa routines will ever be able to accept streamed text or inserted variable values?

Yeah. The province of Saskatchewan has gone to permanent DST, and Ontario will be doing the same if we ever get co-operation with Quebec++ province(s) and NY++ state(s). The DST will definitely need to be an accessible option for NY++ state(s) and many in Canada, if that happens.

They are settings to poll the light sensor for night time. Note the layout of the options is not very indicative of function. UDI did a lot of guessing and hacking to make the MS II work with ISY at all.

It is stated somewhere that ISY can only format to 2GB regardless of the SD card size. This has been a problem on many system over the years. You can format a card to 32 GB but once the system runs past it's addresding limit, the system crashes and then people blame the SD card and get a new one. The same thing happens again and again until the formatting matches the system and now knows when to stop. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

You did not include any text from or enter a ping for Michel and he won't likely see your message.

Sure to break it down you would require a program to break it into separate flags and then we may as well just keep them all separate and use a trigger program like: If $sVar1 AND $sVar2 AND $sVar3 AND $sVar4 AND $sVar5 Then ..... Not as boolean person pretty but it could work

The total value 2^6-1 (63) can trigger a program. Wouldn't need any boolishness on the right side of the logical trigger. If $sBitTotal = 63 Then ....

The best way is to OR in distinct binary bits into the resultant flag variable. ie: OR in 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, & 32 from each program, so when the resultant bit accumulation == 2^6 - 1 then they have all ran and no multiple program runs can fool it. Let's assume the power never fails. ....The Bools

....or two ran and the second ran 5 times.

I would have each program increment a counter at termination and a 6 value trigger the last program dependent on the others, and clear the counter.

I would say yes they are saved in the backup. When you restore a backup file the init to variables are restored like is was part of the programming.

To further exemplify that I have a lot of lighting scenes, including WiFi device levels, and colours, that are dependent on variable values. If I ever restored a backup containing variable values my lights and some other devices would go to some previous value.

I don't use an Elk either but from the alarm panels I have used "Trouble" means the circuit is broken (EoL resistor is not connected or loop is broken) and "Violated" means the circuit has been tripped.

No. So far my backup takes about 10-15 minutes where ISY gets real busy during that time. With the migration over to the polisy that may change.

If you are writing the same value to the init to SD card memory, it is not likely that value ever changed and no wear 'n tear should have been incurred. EAROM memories have improved a lot over the years, but I believe only the SSD drives incorporate the randomization wear'n tear prevention techniques. Opinions on that have varied lot over the years. It may be age and brand dependent.

I am not familiar of the style of the Elk NS inputs. If the Elk inputs are ISY triggers (at all) the input can retrigger your program and clear the counter every time and nullify your counting. I would only clear the counter once the Elk signal indicates Off and after you reported or transferred the counter value elsewhere.

If your lines and Elk Zone 'XXXXXXX' is violated are edge triggered logic, "Run at startup" will always run Else.

Move the line "...Run.Timer = 0" to the last line in Else. BTW: Use the "copy to clipboad" option in admin console, and past it here using the '<>' posting feature.

I have one tag that works well on my mailbox and one that doesn't work well inside my fridge 15 feet from the Tag manager. They are different feature options but I do not know which actual device number they are now. CAO have stopped offering some and introduced others now. I do know that the magnetic earth field detection never worked well. MY mailbox is all synthetic and no metal. I don't use the Tag NS but just insert the URL to turn a variable On and Off with the Door Open and Closed sensing. Then I turned the routine update down to every 30 minutes to save battery life. That is only used for getting the effective temperature from the mailbox. It is a combination or temperature, solar, and wind factors and gives a good "real-feel" temperature report. The 1.5 km is not my mailbox tag but another unit inside my vehicle glove compartment. The Tag manager has to go through R40 walls and full 4" brick thicknesses. My mailbox and Tag Manager are at opposite ends of the home from each other.
