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?

Pages 123 - 128 deal with variables and operators (math).

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.

While climate module is EOL, there are several Weather Nodeserver that take place of the Climate module. Check the Nodeserver store.

Answers to most of your programming questions can be found in the ISY Cookbook. It would benefit you to read through the document. http://www.universal-devices.com/docs/production/The+ISY994+Home+Automation+Cookbook.pdf

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.

Your troubleshooting results do make sense, they just don't fit your predetermined conclusion. You are having a communications issue because of your mesh. It is time to stop and go back to the beginning. Add a dependable zwave repeater following the manufacturers instructions, not necessarily how you think it should be added. Aeotec Gen 7 repeater is a reliable example of what to use. Next you need to read the lock instruction manual and follow the procedure to factory reset the lock. Again, it is important to follow the manufacturers instructions. Follow this by moving the lock to within 2 feet of the ISY (this is very important step), exclude the lock from the ISY at least 2 times. On rare occasions it takes tow excludes to complete the process. Next, re-add the lock to the ISY, following the instructions. After the lock has be added move the lock back to its home and do an update neighbors. Only then, try locking and unlocking.

This is a good example of having communication problems. You need to improve the zwave mesh around that lock or any lock you are having issues with. As others have said, figure out the root cause of the communications issue. I have had my Schlage zwave lock for over 5 years and it has never failed to lock or unlock.

Since the process of flashing a new SD card is rather simple if you have a good backup, I would suggest you might be better off spending the time to insure you have regular uncorrupted backups.

You may want to take a look at the ISY Cookbook. It has examples of many different concepts and programs. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Main_Page#ISY_Cookbook

That error is 10 SMTP_FROM_TIMEOUT Try setting timeout higher just to see if it makes a difference.

Check the error log for any errors. You might also try increase the timeout on the configuration page.

The are currently 3 ways to run Nodeserver. On a Polisy (dedicated box from UD) an Raspberry Pi, or Polyglot Cloud (available through UD Portal). I don't believe the camera Nodeserver is available on Polyglot Cloud.

Thank you.

@asbril does the Zooz double switch report status (at least the top light switch) back to the ISY? Thinking of an application that I need to use status in a program. Thanks

I really think you should open a support ticket with UD. They are very helpful and usually respond quickly.

You could open a support ticket with UD and have them take a look, but it does sound like you are maxed out. The good news is updating to Pro is just a software module to purchase from the UD store. You could even ask the help desk if they would issue a refund if the upgrade doesn't correct the situation.

Maybe you should open a support ticket with UD.
