I suspect you will get such a delay you will abandon that usage. Nothing beats Insteon direct linked scenes, except ac powered wall occupancy switches for speed, unfortunately. Sent using Tapatalk

Thanks Michel. I am in for sure but "time of trial" will be based on what this actually means. Can you elaborate, with a rough "data path" description of what and where? ISY(polyisy) <----> polyglot(polisy), ISY------> wife's Christmas present junk box ???

Others have tried it but without specialised filters and level controllers they don't show much as the magnitude of noise is small compared to AC waveform magnitudes. If any 2nd or 3rd order harmonics are introduced they can be really hard to discern with the human eye. These harmonics can distort the relative time of the zero crossing which Insteon depends on for timing. Small amounts of noise on the "front-porch" of the zero crossings can confuse the small Insteon signal. IIRC X10 used the AC waveform time just after zero crossing but electronic dimmers can switch on at those times, making a mess of X10 signals. Along comes Insteon using the other side of the zero crossing by timing from the previous crossing. Now LED, HID, and CFL ballasts can interfere with that area of the signal. Who ya' gonna' call?

The dimmable CFLs had better power supplies inside, same as the better LED bulbs. They can both cause problems, and with age, I suspect most of them, regardless of technology, will.

Be aware that lumin(ance) is measured in lux, not lumens. Lumen is a measurement of total illumination over the total area.

This is how I do it.

Ahhhhhh.. so you mean we should hold a logic 1 for more than 30 seconds before asserting a logic 0? That could explain some of random failures I don't hear from my Echoes. Sent using Tapatalk

I have found MS simulation via ISY Portal to not be reliable to trigger routines. AFAICT so far, the first trigger works almost immediately but further attempts appear to be locked out at some level of the process. Sent using Tapatalk

I assume there is also a common ground pin. RS232 requires a minimum of three conductors for bidirectional comms. RS485 may not. Sent using Tapatalk

Nobody has been able to figure out their poor, or lack of marketing scheme yet, but despite all the customer frustration we hear, Insteon is still the top contender in the HA market. Somebody's uncle has a lot of backing money. Sent using Tapatalk

Here is my fridge half a continent away. I get notifications of light on too long and temperature, without my ISY. ISY also uses the data to notify. Sent using Tapatalk

CAO Wireless Tags. Many options to get data into ISY. Alexa direct interrogable with vocal responses, and many ways to push announcements to different devices. Sent using Tapatalk

I have the same situation since Dec.6 IIRC. Logs will also be sent when access is available. ISY still appears to be running Insteon device security simulations despite no reports or access via Ethernet. Sent using Tapatalk

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.
