I had random router problems that disconnected my Ooma at weird times. Finally I installed my Ooma ahead of my router, as per recommendations, and against my better judgement. The Ooma box is much more reliable now but SMS messages show up with its home page and other weird things now. They do not interfere with any operations on my LAN equipment. That Ooma box contains a whole router inside, along with other very smart Internet filtering tools, much to my surprise Sent using Tapatalk

Folder logic conditions do not show correct logic after a reboot or edit until a conditional element invokes evaluation Sent using Tapatalk

As per oberkc above..yes. Sent using Tapatalk

Perhaps the hysteresis has been overrated in your logic and something really simple, similar to a lamp retriggerable timer could be used. This will just keep retriggering the timer until the temperature drop below the setpoint and then run for 15 minutes more. If Temp > 25 Then set Fan On wait 15 minutes set Fan Off Else ----

Save your nickels and dimes. You have already gone through a few. Some people just seem to have problems with them. I am using the same old unit for five years now, ? ?with a tested spare in the junk box.

@apostolakisl has basically got it about as simple as it is going to get, unfortunately. However I can see combining some logic together into one program idea IF you have ISY v5. If temp > 48 Then Repeat while temp > 45 wait 1 minute Repeat 1 time set fan off. Else ----- Drops a few program enables/ disables, simplifying the looks of the logic. There could be more. I use program enable/disables for similar logic, but find them a little obscure making program comprehension two years from now, harder. Too bad we couldn't disable program triggers within the same program and keep going instead of stalling the program.

What are you sensing the temperature with? Copy your program(s) to clipboard, and paste them here to see what you have attempted so far.

I doubt for some time you will see text variables. UDI are quite busy working on porting ISY over to the polisy machine and converting the admin console to html/css/javascript.

ooops….affidavit

Also, folder conditions will not evaluate on a ISY reboot, and programs can remain unprocessed for extended times, unknown to the user, until the user manually restarts them again, if they discover it. I don't see any way to force True or False, on startup, making them dangerous to the user. Testing programs inside a disabled folder always fails without any notice, making testing programs more complex, and more likelihood to leave them non-functional once tested.
-
Folder conditions are not a good technique. The conditions are obscure, and can be forgotten about, making it a bad programming method, and altering the status can leave devices in undesirable positions when the programs stall. Almost every folder condition I have installed has been removed after discovering these problem over the years.

Not that I have seen. Load the file into Notepad++ and do a search or even just select the phrase you want and the other occurrences will be highlighted.

It may be a while yet, but if you can wait, the polisy should come completely paired with it's own polyglot c/w drop-in nodeservers at a few clicks. Many people here should be able to talk you through getting connected to an ecobee WiFi stat at that point.
-
Might be a good idea for the MAC address to be engraved on the bottom of the polisy. OTOH, with five Ethernet ports (3 wired, 2.4Ghz, 5GHz) it may have five different MAC addresses.

Ecobee with WiFi via cloud interrogation.

They can but most of these scammer rooms only own a few numbers. Besides they get an "Out of service" message with advice to remove it from their list". If they do, it is over for YOUR number. On my Android cell phone it came with an app called "HiYa" that looks the calling number up in a database and gives a warning, location or advice for every call. If you find it is spam or a scam you just hit the appropriate key and they record it in their database. It works quite well, as I have had quite a few rings along with advice "Known Spammer" etc.. It was auto-installed on my last upgrade.

Trouble with most of these calls is the issue they raise is not what they are calling about. They are looking for a "live" phone number with real people behind it. Then they sell the numbers to other spammers. This is happening a lot on mobile numbers now as they can SMS spam you. I upgraded my Ooma service to a$10 account and I can selective block the pests. We were very impressed when we tested it as you get your choice of actions and their "This number is out of service. Please check...." message is very authentic.

The best sales line, used everywhere is, "everybody else is getting one" or "It's our most popular xxx".

Missing in Android app also now. I know they want to get everything by vocal control but I don't see how to remove superfluous items anymore. Maybe it is self cleansing now?
-
I think it is at the very bottom of the devices page in the Android app, along with Delete All devices. That needs to be every so often to clear out the change of hearts in naming you had over the years. I mostly use the vocal "Alexa...discover". Then it vocally let's you know what new devices it found.

I have a Netgear AC1900 that I had heat problems with, only in the summer though. Figuring it was bad I bought an ASUS AC1900 RT-AC68U router to replace it. It has heat problems, only in the summer though. I have converted the ASUS to ASUSWRT-Merlin firmware (they only fix bugs) and it didn't help. I mounted them both vertically and in free air, and they have both worked almost flawlessly now, for the last few years. Some device just give up connecting to easily though. The ASUS is a better router and they now have mesh routing built into them if you want to get more than one. I turned down the transmit power on both routers, both frequencies, and that helped. Only problem, at about 3% of their power output, my neighbour could clobber my one router as his signal strength was higher than mine, in my own home. After changing frequencies, with such low signal level, his router changed to the same frequency. I have raised my transmit levels and found channels that no neighbours are using. Hopefully now, when other routers reboot every week they will see my signal and avoid the same channels. I use a free app on my cell phone, and my Killer Control Centre software app, that came with my laptop WiFi, to see every WiFi channel in use. If you are trying to use 5GHz WiFi and have any airplanes near you, your WiFi may be disconnecting constantly. It is part of the 5GHz licence to share the frequency with radar systems. Just before trashing your router I would investigate installing WRT-Merlin third party firmware into it. It may save you some money if it is available for your model.

I have always used the Insteon address to link devices and I only press linking buttons on battery devices. The rest do not require it.
-
Has nothing to do with "stable". It has to do with Zwave inclusions not being complete enough.

Geeeez. That brings back the memory of trying to extract the temperature from an Insteon thermostat 2441ZTH using a bank of programs. One program per degree to test for each degree from bottom to top. What a PITA. Been using v5 for about four years now and have a hard time remembering the silly things we had to do.
