For colours or levels use... Alexa...set xxx to red/blue/green/40 percent Sent using Tapatalk

First x amount gets the field for a week and the next y gets it permanently. Maybe a field with a gumball machine knob . Sent using Tapatalk

Create crippled units that have a donated tokens field. enabling another field per donation. Sent using Tapatalk

Bad comm problems. Check your old devices in a different location with a quiet breaker circuit. Sent using Tapatalk

ISY is mostly about home automation so the audience may be very small. Sent using Tapatalk

What version of firmware and what version UI are you using? Sent using Tapatalk

Agreed. Using statuses is a different matter but using control switched makes a one program logic possible ...and only if the else section is not used. The else section will run at both time nodes. Sent using Tapatalk

I installed my antennae immediately before powering up. Some radios, transmitting power without an antenna to absorb it, can burn out the rf output amplifier stages. Sent using Tapatalk

The North Pole has many time zones to select from. You need to set it to the proper one.

Time triggers can be stopped by disabling the program. However the other triggers need to be enabled to start the program so...it can be done with two programs Garage Door Night Opens - [ID 0015][Parent 0010] If 'Garage Door 2-Status' is switched Off Or 'Garage Door 1-Status' is switched Off Then Run Program2 (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Program2 [NOT ENABLED] If From Sunset + 10 minutes To Sunrise - 10 minutes (next day) Then Run Program 'Front Flood Timer Override' (If) Set 'Breezeway' On Set 'Garage Main' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Do a program search to find any occurrence of the device that is operating not as expected.

I was told years ago shipping searches had to be initiated by the shipper. You could be claiming a lost package that never existed.

Yup. Nano is included in the polyisy 2.2.8 load. Thanks! Installed with a few complaints about some mismatch.
-
Thanks. So nano has been included in later versions of polyglot then? It wasn't in the original geek batch version.
-
Thanks but now the question is how to get nano into the system. The normal editor on original unix style systems is vi and most find it very clumsy.

Except you have to get up and find the door possibly with no TV illumination on.

Here was one simple technique requiring no ISY programming. Blind an MS so it detects just over a line drawn over the heads of seated occupants. I use over my bed and it works very well with distinct zones.

There are filters that you can install over the lens with a Rhode Island Red colour.

I use preset integer variable values for each room, known in other languages as constants. I fix their init to value to a constant as well as their working values. Each room have a value which I use the tens as the floor and the units as the room with increasing values from inside to the exit door. Eg $cMUDROOM is 29, $cRECROOM is 11, Outbuilding is 31 etc... This is just a memory and readability technique. I have a second program for every MS in the house with a simple program like. If MS control is switched ON Then $sMS.motion.lastRoom = $cROOM.MUDROOM Else --- Now that variable is watched by a common program that does some stuff, depending on away mode, night/day etc.. but the important one here is take a recording variable, shift it left two decimal digits and add the latest room to the tens and units positions. Now you have a variable with the latest two MS movements detected and can tell direction from that variable. Unfortunately I will be away for a week and have to pack desperately tonight. I posted some programs for this technique to somebody else about two months back. A filtered search may find it with my name on it. As an experienced programmer, the triggered programing (non-linear) may give you some trouble getting your head around it. If you have some VB in the past, you are well on your way. BTW: Integer variables do NOT trigger programs while stat Variables do cause program triggers.

I tried it dumped it. Amazon, like google wants to know each person's habits, including your purchasing habits. Using it as one person is not a problem with some clever thinking about keeping things uniform while keeping a simple style worhoutvrememberibg a hundred different quirks. Everything in my house is turn on xxxx or turn off xxxx and I still can't remember how to rotate the xmas scene lighting without looking it up at times. Sent using Tapatalk

Alexa command and actual physical switch differ for program
larryllix replied to andrew77's topic in Amazon Echo
It's a simple test. Try this. 'Alexa....dim the xxxx' If it works you are not using the program. The If triggered are not involved. The ISY portal is the trigger. Sent using Tapatalk -
I found those syntaxes flakey since inception. Use 'turn on/off xxxxx' or 'set xxxx to 50 percent' Even my amp I use.... Turn on louder. Turn on softer Sent using Tapatalk

Are you sure the unit actually factory reset? It takes a long time and flashes weirdly for about 60 to 80 seconds. Sent using Tapatalk
