There is a switch for metric on the ISY administration page IIRC. You may have to reboot ISY after. I have banks of synchronisation programs where any input that requires the values tailored is automatically stuffed into a state variable to trigger other processes. I have one that takes three outdoor temperature sources, applies individual scaling factors, and averages them, tossing out any sensor that has drifted more than 2 degrees C from the average, and then recalculating the average using the remaining two. I use this variable resultant to trigger all my other programs requiring a reliable outside temperature. Every sensor gets sun at some point in the day. Living on a small mountain the sun travels almost 240 degrees around us each day in the summer.

Sorry. Plug the network cable in, plug the ISY serial cable to PLM in. Power up the PLM, wait a few seconds, then plug your ISY in. This way when ISY powers up it can find the network and the PLM and initialise itself properly....getting PLM info, and time clock etc.. from the Internet.

PLM gets powered up first for a few seconds, then ISY, which will then detect the PLM and install proper support routines for the PLM.

All software on my polisy are running and updating ISY except for polyglot v2.2.6. I cannot get it to respond via browser admin console using any combination of ports I can think of. Polyglot is running but failed initialising. This can be seen adding to the debug.log every loop still reporting this. There has to be another .env file that is doing this, but I haven't been able to find one. I can completely remove my .env file, but it makes no difference to the initialisation failure reporting, and therefore must not be the offending .env file. Polyglot did create a new empty nodeserver directory/folder. Is there a way to reload v2.2.5?

ISY will be fine. Very few have ever had bugs that are not user problems. You have a lot of programming experience, but the event based programming throws many seasoned linear programmers for a loop, at first. The injected Waits for variable manipulation is a good debugging tool. I have used it a few times for complex arithmetic where intermediate results would normally be hidden. You will learn to fly with ISY. It's a fabulous toy and a powerful tool.

I tried every combinations of http/https port:3000/443/none but no response. See my debug.log above, showing a loop trying to initialise from some .env file whether it exists, or I rename it to savedenvfile and reboot Right now I am trying the nodeserver directory rename to eliminate that booting complication.

That makes sense. The beta load has locked up my boot process and I can't seem to get it stopped. grrrr…...

I'm software bricked! I followed the lines above and cannot access polyglot. SSHed in and examined debug.log to find this repeating ad nauseum Then I deleted my homemade .env file and rebooted...no success and same debug.log running So I removed the beat package sudo pkg remove polyglot-beta, and rebooted Now I reinstalled polyglot with sudo pkg install polyglot...which appeared to install v2.2.6 ???? Debug.log running the same problem as above. Tried deleting the package and deleting the directories and reinstalling...same problem = polyglot v2.2.6? won't get passed initialisation. stumped!!

Many different types of security.

Use the "Copy to clipboard" function and paste the real program.

Yes but you weren't using a factor of 0.555 in a v4 program. Did you power cycle your ISY yet? Have you saved the program yet? Show us the actual code by copying and pasting.

Maybe if you just "copy to clipboard" your actual programs, and posted them here, somebody could take a look at what you are doing. You haven't shown your If sections or what is triggering your program to run.

Inspect your notification values. You were sending a state variable before that was being updated dynamically with the current value, not your calculation result. Do you understand that ISY is not a linear programing language but rather an event based triggerred calculation engine?

The problematic behaviour is caused by your If statement setting the value you are sending in the notification. Your program can change values all you want but you are sending the State Variable that is being changed. Your output demonstrates it. BTW: Integer Variable does not mean the variable doe not have a fractional part. That is determined by the precision setting, regardless of the type. Bad naming but Integer means non-triggering and State means it can trigger a program.

All ISY variable hold numbers. By non-triggering variables, I mean State variables that are not used in programs If sections, that are enabled, or Integer variables used anywhere. When you use a state variable in an If condition, it can cause triggering of the program. Your program would trigger and before it can get finished, the program could get triggered again, restarting the program, or before the notification gets sent the variable would be changed in value. That is what you are seeing.

I never do my calculations in a State variables. You could trigger a dependant downstream program multiple times with nonsense intermediate values. Do the calculation in non-triggering variables and then copy it to the trigger State variable, last. I assume the waits are for testing. They can other programs to inject other values into variables. You are sending the latest updated variable value and receiving the correct response.. See my first sentence above.

@LeeG was definitely an Insteon bit pattern and logic guru. He is greatly missed here.

Good help must be hard to find that can create a searchable database to read off a monitor. They are all busy typing in smart-*** answers to silly questions coming through Alexa

My motion sensor (ISY Portal variable pseudo MSes) routines stopped working a few weeks ago. I notified amazon support describing the testing was good to their device status in the app, and how the routine worked fine when tested from the app. I got back a nonsense response about how they need to test these devices right from the ISY program blah, blah, blah. It seems after weeks of my routines not working, somebody reset something, and my routines suddenly started working again, but amazon support would not admit that. Feedback was mixed thanking them for resetting the routine programs but telling them to actually read what I posted instead of wasting everybody's time.

Installed, powered up without any snags or delay, and running fine. Installed polyglot v2.2.5 with beta selected. v2.2.6 not offered. Thanks!!

I thought it had to be totally nonfunctional and show eons of thinking to make WAF. Sent using Tapatalk

The first I have ever heard of the iR feature was in a LIFX advert about 1 month ago. Interesting idea! Not much of a security thing though as the kids know iR shows up in any cam sensor. I had some BR-30 Hue bulbs, but my fixtures take BR40 that overheat the bulbs in an insulated ceiling. For those that think LEDs don't get hot, I burnt my hand on an LED bulb two years ago after it started blinking on and off. Face was cool and I removed it, only to find the sides extremely hot froma fixture with no air circulation. Yeah I was standing on a ladder and made the call to not drop and smash it. I have my decks, porches (1/2 house) populated with RGBWW bulbs in potlight fixtures. I am going to do a lot less Christmas lighting this year, outside. The LED lights strings have become the worst reliability of any type of Christmas lighting for me. Green strings seem to last just over ne season. I have fixed sockets repeatedly but the trick is nothing is compatible with other or even their own brands from year to year so they end up being garbage. I have a few strings with taped off ends in order to salvage half the string lengths. My light animator hasn't been bothered wit for a few years now. I am sure it was annoying the neighbourhood but I ISYed it for only select times. With an extension cord end repair from a mouse eating off the receptacle under the snow last year, I am slowly giving up, and don't want to spend the full week of wiring and running cords, using 100-200 tie warps. One time usage plastics? At least these are guaranteed to be turtle-nose proof!

There are two different effects here. Using multiple colours in a chandelier is about the looks of the bulbs. Like a Christmas tree it doesn't colour the room lighting. Using colours individually, where they shine on a wall or other opaque object is a different effect. You see the coloured light effect in the room. If your bulbs are not close to a wall, you will not notice the coloured lighting effect (just see coloured bulbs) unless you have all your lights the same colour. Coloured bulbs in a ceiling pot fixture are mostly a waste of money. Their light isn't bright enough to light up the floor and the bulb cannot be seen either. Of course I have ten foot high ceilings.

My impression is there are no upgrades. The 8 group unit is the small RGBWW lamp some sell. It doubles as a cute RGBWW lamp, which may work out for a desk lamp or a couple on top of a bar.
