  1. That is what I suspected. You will need to establish a connection and then everything will restore. Has anything changed on the configuration page of the ISY? Make sure all of the information is correct and make note of the port number. You will then need to connect with your ELk via the software and verify the settings there. Dennid
  2. Can the ISY talk to your Elk or is it possible they have lost their connection? Does the ISY show your Elk zones correctly? Dennis

    MS Surface anyone

    I use a Surface 3 to access the ISYat a vacation home. I do all upgrades and programming from it. The only draw back is the font size is very small with the normal settings. Dennis
  4. But you can get a 220 volt plug. Yes, the original post indicated 110 volts, but then the question came up about the amperage, indicating the pump is dual voltage. I am suggesting the actual voltage the pump is running on be verified. Dennis
  5. Sorry for the spelling error, should have been Xathros.
  6. Cathryn is correct about the amp draw. First you need to determine what voltage the pump is configured for. Saying it is plugged in to an outlet doesn't mean it is a 110 volt outlet.
  7. I agree, there are several device like this available. They are simple and safer for a situation like this. Especially when programming is not required.
  8. If you are looking to sense current you can also use a current sensor. Dwyer makes some inexpensive ones. This opens up more Insteon choices for you. However, this will only provide you with on/ off notification, not control.
  9. The Elk relay would work, but I think it is overkill. I would probably use a 20 amp power relay with a low voltage coil for each (current of each device needs to be verified before a final determination is made). They can be found for a lot less $. I think I would then either use a standard Insteon on/off switch or an IO Linc for control. This is just my opinion. Dennis
  10. I would not use any device that supports dimming Or "brightening" for a motor load. Dennis
  11. If you insist on connecting the dust collector to Insteon instead of one of the remote control devices designed for this application, I would suggest you use a power relay and an Insteon device to control activating the relay. Dennis
  12. I would suggest unplugging everything you added and see if the problem is still present. Dennis
  13. Did you plug anything in to the added outlets?
  14. The last one, interior temperature.
  15. Stu, Here is what works for me. Thermostat Mode is: ${sys.node.ZW011_1.CLIMD} Heat/Cool state: ${sys.node.ZW011_1.CLIHCS} Heat setpoint: ${sys.node.ZW011_1.CLISPH} Cooling setpoint: ${sys.node.ZW011_1.CLISPC} Interior Temp: ${sys.node.ZW011_1.ST} Dennis
  16. Stu, They work fine with my Honeywell Zwave thermostat. I have the space temperature along with mode sent to me twice a day. Dennis
  17. Have you thought about using a current sensor connected to an IO Linc? This would enable you to trigger a text when the current draw stops after a specified time period. Dennis
  18. I haven't had any trouble keeping the clock time in sync. Sorry I can't offer any additional help. Dennis
  19. Not sure if this is just a typo, but you have a comma after pool instead of a period. The correct server name should be "pool.ntp.org". Regards, Dennis
  20. Steve, I'm a little confused, the last post in your link of webinars is June 2014. Are those dates all in the past or are they for this year?
  21. Hi, When you attempt to connect with MobiLinc are you using the local, secure, or auto detect? If you are within your network, select local and see if you can get that one working first. I also believe the secure https setting in MobiLinc should be your external IP address or a DDNS name, not your local IP address. This would be consistent with larryllix's example. You also need to select the sync with ISY button to make your first connection. Once you get the local working then try working on the secure. Afterwards you can change the connection to auto detect. Regards, Dennis
  22. Check the Elk web site. They have a sample program posted there that silences the Elk system during specified hours. Dennis
  23. Bypass the plug in transformer and connect it to the battery. That's what I do. Dennis
  24. I totally agree and will be waiting for this development process. ISY is a great product but an improved interface is needed. The interface needs to be functional and easy to use. I once had hopes of MobiLinc being that product but they don't seem to be interested in advancing their Android support. There have been many requests for adding Elk and Zwave support to MobiLinc and all we get is soon. In the meantime their Apple support keeps on rolling. Welcome aboard! Dennis
