For programs, you can right click and copy to clipboard. Then you can paste the copy anywhere you like. For other item without this feature a screenshot is my choice.

Automatic Backups for ISY
DennisC replied to IT Solutions's topic in New user? Having trouble? Start here
If you feel it is critical to have regular backups of variables, as others have stated, take a look at the Backup Nodeserver in the Polyglot store. It will do the job. -
You could try deleting the 32 bit version and installing the 64 bit version. Have you tried everything in this troubleshooting guide: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Main_Page#ISY_Launcher_cannot_find_ISY At this point, I think you need to open a support ticket with UD and ask them to remote in to your computer and ask them to assist in figuring out what is going on.
-
Sorry, I mixed up two different posters.
-
This is why I was asking you to confirm all your devices were on the same sub lan. Your ISY is on 192.168.0.xxx. Previously you stated you were using 192.168.1.xxx.
-
I was just curious if you could access ISY using https, but I messed up the IP. Also, I thought I read one computer was wireless and one was wired. Is that the case? If so, maybe one computer has a different IP address range? That was why I asked if all devices were on http://192.168.1.xxx.
-
Are both computers and ISY using the same http://192.168.1.xxx naming convention? Another thought, going back to Michel's post, try adding https://192.168.1.210 to the ISY Launcher and see if you can gain access that way.
-
My suggestion to you would be to re-open discussions with UD via the help ticket and request they assist you with a remote session. With your permission they will send you a link that allows them to log in to your computer and remotely assist you. They are very willing to help, just be patient and go through the process.

Creating a Timer in ISY
DennisC replied to IT Solutions's topic in New user? Having trouble? Start here
I'm not sure I see the need to add Elk Counters to the Nodeserver. If you are programing in the Elk you use the Elk Counters. If you program in the ISY, you use an ISY variable, which works in the same fashion but is easier to work with. -
Hmmm, maybe try accessing from https? You can manually added it to the ISY Launcher.

Wondering if you need to increase Java memory? The upgrade firmware post has instructions if you want to check.

Creating a Timer in ISY
DennisC replied to IT Solutions's topic in New user? Having trouble? Start here
Here is a link to the Polyglot Nodeserver Store to see all of the Nodeserver a that have been created.: https://polyglot.universal-devices.com/ Currently, you can run these Nodeserver via a Raspberry Pi or a Polisy. Soon however, Nodeserver will only be supported on Polisy. This is expected to happen when Polyglot v3 comes out. In addition, some Nodeserver can run from a cloud version of Polyglot available thru the ISY Portal. At some point in the future, the software running on the ISY will be moving over to Polisy, and the ISY will be phased out. -
Missing Something Simple on Programming ???

The code will run anytime the If statement is evaluated, which happens when ever the If is changed. Therefor, it will run with a change from On to Off and from Off to On. While not necessary, I usually give a brief pause when updating variables one after the other. The Init is very handy when there is a sudden reboot of the ISY, like a power failure. It will restore the variable to what it was before the power failure. The run at start up might take a few seconds or a minute or two to run, depending on how big your system is and how many run at start up there are. This way covers all possibilities and as soon there is a change registered by the If portion of the program, the ISY updates. Correct Custom notifications are available, there should be examples in the ISY Cookbook, or you can read about it here: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-994i_Series:EMail_and_Networking_Substitution_Variables So, you can write something like the following: ${elk.zone.#.name} will give you the name of the Elk zone that caused the program to run. The # allows the zone that caused the Elk program to run to substitute its name for the # sign. Like wise, ${elk.zone.#.status} will return the status of the zone that caused the program to run. In the near future, there will be an Elk Nodeserver so tif using that, the names would change slightly, but the principle will be the same. The collective group might be able to give you more direct and specific programing examples if you start a new post and explain clearly what you are trying to accomplish. When the concepts are piece meal it is hard to get the big picture. There are a lot of folks here who already have Elk programing and notifications in ISY working. Many are willing to share. -

If Elk Output x is On Then VariableX = 1 Wait 5 seconds VariableX Init To VariableX Else VariableX = 0 Wait 5 seconds VariableX Init To VariableX Enable run at start up for this program. Whenever Elk output x is on, variable will be set to 1, when Elk output x is off, variable will be set to 0. In addition, you are setting the Init variable to the same value as the Variable (wait of 5 seconds just makes sure variable has been set) so on start up, the variable will have the same value as when the ISY shutdown, but the program will run shortly after start up to set variable to current state of Elk output. It is also good practice (but not necessary) to begin variable names with the type of variable it is, for example: $s_ISY_Home (State Variable) or $i_ISY_Home (Integer Variable). This helps for troubleshooting down the road. It reminds you of what type of variable it is. -

All you need is one simple program that changes the variable to 1 when the Elk output is on in the then portion and when off, then set variable to 0 in the else portion. Set the program to run at start up and you are done. -
Assistance with ZWave Lock Program
DennisC replied to IT Solutions's topic in New user? Having trouble? Start here
For what it is worth, on the Schlage site, buried in the FAQ there is a question about using the zwave locks with Alexa. The response indicates all of the zwave locks that are part of the "Connected" line can be opened and closed by Alexa, work with their Nexia service and will report the user accessing the lock. It might be worth the time to contact Schlage again and attempt to speak with a more advanced person to question regarding status. I would think if the lock is reporting the user it also has status available. -

@IT Solutions out of curiosity, could you check the box and the documentation that came with the door lock and see if any of it says "Connect" on it? -

I am not sure I understand what you are trying to accomplish, but just to answer your question, select at start up and only test for the condition you want to be true. You can also disable a program through a program. I thought from your original question you wanted the program to check an Elk output on start up and then have a variable set and follow the on/off of the output? -
You appear to have a lot going on which is making it hard to point you in the right direction. I would suggest rebooting your computer and use the ISY Launcher to attempt to gain access. It appears you are running v5 firmware, if that is correct, then download the ISY Launcher from this link: https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp After trying to start from the Launcher, tell us what is happening.

What you are looking for is called run on start up. Instructions can be found here: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Program_Summary_Tab -

Yes, my lock reports status back whenever the door is locked or unlocked. I find it hard to believe Schalge would release a lock that doesn't report status after locking/unlocking.
