  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. I would not use any device that supports dimming Or "brightening" for a motor load. Dennis
  6. 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
  7. I would suggest unplugging everything you added and see if the problem is still present. Dennis
  8. Did you plug anything in to the added outlets?
  9. The last one, interior temperature.
  10. 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
  11. Stu, They work fine with my Honeywell Zwave thermostat. I have the space temperature along with mode sent to me twice a day. Dennis
  12. 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
  13. I haven't had any trouble keeping the clock time in sync. Sorry I can't offer any additional help. Dennis
  14. 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
  15. 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?
  16. 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
  17. Check the Elk web site. They have a sample program posted there that silences the Elk system during specified hours. Dennis
  18. Bypass the plug in transformer and connect it to the battery. That's what I do. Dennis
  19. 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
  20. Also, can you have more than one wireless receiver connected to the M1? Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk I can't answer your question as I don't use wireless device for my Elk. I would suggest using hard wired devices for any alarm system whenever possible. Dennis
  21. I believe each brand of wireless receivers (Elk, Honeywell, & GE) will only work with their own devices. Last time I looked, Elk's wireless receiver was limited to only a handful of devices. I would suggest figuring out what device you might want to add and select a wireless receiver to match. That way you can add your device whenever you would like. Dennis
  22. I have both an Elk alarm panel and an ISY. I converted my old alarm system last October and added the ISY late November. While the Elk is capable of controlling lighting and can handle other automation tasks, the ISY is much easier to program and receive alerts from. The ISY also works with Insteon. When using the ELK for lighting, I think you are more or less limited to using relays (there are probably exceptions to this). The ease of programming with the ISY, for me, makes it a worthy expense. With the ELK, you are some what limited with the messages you can receive. The ELK will only send predefined messages. I also found the mobile access with the ISY to be more wife friendly (we use MobiLinc). One more thing, with the proper set up, you can access the programming menu of the ISY from any computer. I don't believe that would be the case with the ELK. Having said that, there are some functions I automated with the ELK (using relays) for reliability. As an example, I have a zone on my oil fired burner for making hot water. That zone is tied in to my ELK and only runs when my security system is disarmed. I also send a signal to a virtual output so I can control this from the ISY with the ELK integration module. I hope this helps. Dennis

    Michel, eMail sent. Thank you. Dennis

    What you ever you want here In this case, is break. With kind regards, Michel Hi Michel, Like this: Current Temperature:${mod.weather.temp.current} Day's High Temp:${mod.weather.temp.high} Day's Low Temp:${mod.weather.temp.low} Feels Like:${mod.weather.temp.feelslike} Current Humidity:${mod.weather.humidity} I have HTML checked in the notification, but the readings are still running all together. I also tried ending with
