@apostolakisl had a lot of trouble with that. He also uses a lot of 1 hour Waits to keep time clocks. I think my router hung on the 2 AM time change conflicting with its own self power cycle. I am out of the country and ISP says my modem is still connected. No cloud or network functions working. Yeah DST is the worst. As a matter of fact why have time zones? So what if everybody goes to work around the same number on the clock ? Think of the computer programming and databases time zones take so we can all use the same numbers. Duh! Sent using Tapatalk

As per @kclenden above, but I would use one button in a similar fashion on many HRV systems to keep the style consistent for users. One push = X minutes, two taps = 2X minutes, three taps = 3X minutes. After a pause one tap = Cancel. The LED could be pulsed once, twice and three times to indicate feedback to the human eye. Of course the other buttons could be wasted on a KPL, but this can be done with simple Switchlinc also, and they can send ramping commands for length of button push signalling instead of multiple taps.

Factory reset the device and then restore from admin console usually fixes that.ISY cannot flash LEDs. Insteon cannot transmit that fast. Look in the wiki for a short instructions to rebuild your card. It's very easy. Sent using Tapatalk

I couldn't tell you the actual paragraph. I don't know the US one and it's been a long time for the Canuck one. I just remember the image painted to us...changing a broken bulb while standing in water in the dark.

Hue bulbs are not Insteon but proprietary ZigBee signals and do not depend on the waveform of the powerline voltage.

Maybe I didn't read the rest of thread details but if you attempt to put an Insteon device downstream from a dimming device you may be asking for signal problems. Even the rf signals of Insteon depend on having a clean sine wave and dimmers can destroy that even at 100% setting. Sent using Tapatalk

Those devices kill the socket when you change the the bulb and comply with safety rules. A live socket without a visible or lockable disconnect device is a safety hazard. Power to the fixture but not the socket. Sent using Tapatalk

I suspect ISY uses the older FAT formatting and it can only handle 2GB max. I have been caught many times with this gottcha'. You can format the card to 16GB or whatever, but when the actual usage of the card exceeds its addressing limit of 2GB, the system crashes after running for years without a problem. 2^16 = 64K x 128 byte sectors = 2GB 2GB cards became obsolete My 8GB inserted into my ISY maxed out at 2GB reported by ISY.

There was a copy over in the ISY portal originally. IIRC it did leave a few holes though. Possibly removed now. Sent using Tapatalk

ISY only uses 2BG of any card. I am not sure if it fragments the card at the sector level when you format the card inside ISY.

IIRC 160 charts is an international SMS spec. Some providers will automatically change the text to MMS? if the 160 is exceeded. Sent using Tapatalk

Look for a program doing this. If you right kick on any program icon there us a search option on the dropdown menu. You can search by the device name or many other options. Sent using Tapatalk

Installing a new SD card is very easy. I just did it a few weeks ago. Basically you power down, install new card, puTTY into your ISY, issue a format command, log in to admin console, load v5.0.16c, restore your backup file, set your time zone and your back. I use a polisy and it reconnected automagically.

Your problem appears related to some internal ISY problem. I would open a support ticket with UDI. Michel will get you sorted out. Your SD card may be worn out or just glitched. Thu 02/27/2020 07:21:17 AM : [FileOpen ] Open failed for [/LOG/A.LOG] (a)

I have. I use one scene containing all my lights and a doorbell and blink them. IIRC I use scene fast on scene fast off, wait 2-3 seconds. Slow on and off aren't going to work for this. Sent using Tapatalk

Folder conditions can be bad programming practice due to being obscure, and unpredictable with programs. If you disable a folder, any program running may stop in the middle. Sent using Tapatalk

IIRC there is a windows 10 image that runs on a RPi. I wonder if the video streams would burn up the SD card memory though. May need to add a USB HDD. For now, Blue Iris doesn't support my cams anyway. I just thought it would be an easy way to get some control over them from HA.

Yup. My bad. It is for support and upgrades only (small type font highlighted)

$69.95 is a one year licence. $34.95 is for the LE (light edition) per year for one camera. All licenses are for only one PC. Minimum support package is another $29.95 per year. https://blueirissoftware.com/#purchase OUCH!

I have heard reports of it being free for a few years. Maybe things have changed in later times. The website states it requires a top speed Windows 10 machine with lots of CPU and memory and a 7200RPM HDD even. The $69.95 is an annual fee. I mean they all should get some compensation ,but that's quite the jump and the added cost of a new top-of-the line computer (and energy) every 3-4 years makes it out of my price range. OTOH, perhaps those are only specs for using and displaying, up to 64 IP cams simultaneously, without hiccoughs.

Now we have HAA, as well as AAA, CAA, and AA.

Will Blue Iris run on a Rpi? I would rather a lower power and more reliable RPi run 24 x 7 than a full, energy hungry, large size, and costly Win 10 system.

I have an IOLinc connected to my doorbell via a relay and I get text messages advising of a doorbell button press. It appears you have already done that. I also have 5 Wyze cameras and one points out the widow and can see the walkway going up to the front door. I can then review who walked up my sidewalk at that point in time. Not ideal yet but once somebody gets the API, and/or write a NS for Wyze cams this could become exactly what you requested. WYZE CAMS Note:Amazon sells these Wyse cam cube for about $35 CAD, or $25 USD each. 1080p, multiple stream output, with local SD continuous or event storage, and remote event storage. They had an amazing human movement detection system but it seems the provider for this feature and Wyze had a dispute and the feature was discontinued. Wyse states they will be installing their own firmware, spring of 2020, containing in-cam human motion detection again. These cams have already been firmware upgraded about 5-6 times in the last year of ownership so I trust this will happen. I painted three black so they can disappear among black A/V components. Bi-directional sound also. They make my $250 PTZ Dahua cam look cheap.

I have discovered there are not many "reserved" words. I do think there are "special" words though that Alexa focuses on. However I find the phrase order matters. Instead of "TV downstairs", try "downstairs TV". I think the last word parsed is expected to be an objective noun and, although they try other parsing orders, they cause more confusion. I use "Library" without problems. However I always use a well known objective noun word. What does your library do when it get's turned on? Try this. "Turn On library lamp" or "turn ON library fan", or "Turn On library lights" Be careful, Google started it and now Alexa is very sensitive to plurals. "Lights" make them assume more than one. I get refused if I don't ask for the right device(s). If I ask to "turn off bedroom light" it will deny me access because it sees more than one. Placement of the mic is important also. Right against a wall, or especially in a corner, makes the ambient noise system fail badly. This is why I have diabled my ecobee4 Alexa. It constantly answered TV noise and even standing two feet in front of it, was deaf and dumb.
