Thanks...I will reach out to their tech support.

Hi Paul, Thanks for this insight. The installer did not know this information. However, to have it control my new Google Camera which was sent to me by ADT, they were able to have Google Home see the status of the panel and the devices. Theoretically, I can have the camera turn on only when the alarm is set to armed/away. There is a bug in the programming though. I was hopeful that I would be able to see the alarm status in the ISY so that I could have other devices turn on or off when the panel is set for Away. Any additional thoughts? Thanks, Mitchell

I have an ADT Control system with keypadin my home. I would like to be able to see the status of the system (armed away, home) to control devices that I already have on my eisy. Is there a simple way to accomplish this?

Thanks! I will see how hard it is to install on my NAS.

I would like to control my eisy devices with Siri. I have a Synology server and believe I can install either Homebridge or Home assistant. What is the best path forward so I can control eisy-based devices with Siri? Note, in parallel, I am running SmartThings devices on a separate system.

Here is what happened: the light switch did not turn on at Sunset. I ran the "If" after sunset and then it turned on. However, it automatically turned off at 11pm. Therefore, the ISY recognized the command. What do you think is going on?

Thanks for pointing me to the Log. The routine for the device did not try to execute. I looked at the flow in the folder, and the folder has 3 routines that didn't work since the outside plugs are unplugged as we are having repairs in our back yard. One of them prior to an error and 2 after the error didn't run. I disabled the routines that should not run, and I can allow it to run this evening and see what the log says. Is there an instruction that if there is an error, then it should proceed? Any other thoughts?

Here is the program:

There is no condition in the folder, and, it is enabled. Interestingly, it turned off at the proper time. It started when I moved the ISY temporarily to a new location. I moved it back to the original location and am having the current problem. Strange since I can manually turn it on from the dashboard, but it does not turn on automatically. I thought I would recreate the routine from another folder and see what happens. LMK if you have any other ideas.

I have an ISY994i that has been working very well. Most of my programs are working. However, for some reason, several in one folder, but not all of them, have stopped working. I can manually do a "Run" for the program and it does fine, but on it's own, it does not work. The programs are simple. If between sunset and 11pm, Then turn ON, Else turn Off. The devices are Insteon. Any thoughts?

Thanks both. I believe that it uses Wi-Fi. I am not sure I understand MrBill’s response. Is there somewhere I can read a briefing on loX devices? Thanks.

Is there a simple path to get a Meross device to work on the eisy? I have several in use at a cottage that has an Aeotec hub, and plan to put in the eisy next month for going forward use.

I just re-read this. I am not sure I understand the "cTrue". Can you provide more information on the use of a constant? Thanks.

Thanks. I will change the power supply first, and come back if the power supply or changing the SD card do not work.

Thanks. Attached is the recent part of the error log. I look forward to your thoughts. ISY Error Log.v5.3.0__Sat 2023.07.15 03.15.31 PM Recent Only.txt

About every 3-4 days, the ISY seems to go down for between 1 and 15 minutes, and then comes online. Then it takes about a day for all of the switches to operate correctly. On the UD App, I get a "now offline" and then a "now online". I am setup with a PLM and Z-wave card. I looked at the Log, and all it has is "Start" in the log column when it is coming online again. Is there any reason for this type of behavoir? Thanks

Thank you. This sent me into the right direction.

My SMTP used to work when I had a Cox eMail account, and then it stopped working. My eMail is xxx@xxx.net. The eMail hosting was live.com --> hotmail.com --> outlook.com. I have tried all of the different configurations for each of them, and nothing works in my isy. Has anyone used a generic SMTP server that is independent of where your domain is hosted?

Hi Dennis, thank you so, so much! The problem is solved. I will save this post for future use. I just needed a little orientation and really appreciate the support. Best, Mitchell

This is very helpful. "only a state variable will trigger a program, an integer variable will not trigger a program.". For clarity: in my situation, I want to trigger a program...right? Therefore, I would want a State variable - is that correct? Here is what I have in the Variable tab - how do I tell it what type of variable I am using. I looked at the Wiki and didn't see it (https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY_Users:V5:Program_Variables#Integer_Variables) Also, how often does the ISY poll the system to see if anything has changed? One other minor point: the calendar format is yyy/mo/dd. Is that changeable? I looked in the Wiki and could not find anything on this. Thanks.

Thanks!

I read the 2 comments. Here is the clarification: the Vacation folder has several programs to turn lights on and off at certain times, and also turn off the whole house hot water recirculator. Also, I set the vacation time manually. I don't mind restructuring the system with a variable or whatever is most efficient. It sounds like I can toggle the vacation folder with a variable. I went into the variable section, and created a variable, and it assigned it "$vacation". Above, Jim recommended setting "ivariable". What is the difference? I read the Variable wiki, and it was not clear to me. I thought I would experiment with the Sink Hot Water first before tackling the Vacation folder of programs. Therefore, I created a program that says: Vacation Now - [ID 0020][Parent 0001] If From 1:45:00PM on 2023/05/28 To 2:00:00PM on 2023/05/28 Then $Vacation = 1 Else $Vacation = 0 Then for the sink hot water, I set the program: Hot Water Sink Kitchen - [ID 0012][Parent 0008] If $Vacation is 1 Then Set 'Hot Water Sink / Hot Water Sink' Off Else Set 'Hot Water Sink / Hot Water Sink' On The problem was that once the vacation was set, after the time elapsed, it reset the Variable to 0, but did not turn the Hot Water Sink back to "ON". Therefore, I modified the Vacation to: Vacation Now - [ID 0020][Parent 0001] If From 1:45:00PM on 2023/05/28 To 2:00:00PM on 2023/05/28 Then $Vacation = 1 Set 'ISY' Query Else $Vacation = 0 Set 'ISY' Query I thought that would get the system to check itself, but it didn't. Any thoughts? Thanks, Mitchell

Terrific…thanks!

Thanks Dennis. I just set it up on my ISY. I noticed that my Favorites folder on my iPad does not sync with the one on my iPhone. Also, when I tap the favorite, it does not toggle the light on or off on the iPad, but simply opens up options (see attached) even when I tap the left/right arrows. It works fine on the iPhone. Thoughts?

Are there any Apps that I can use to control my devices that are controlled by Eisy? I am deciding when to migrate from my ISY to eisy.
