I've done it. (Wohoo!) Obvious really, "C Escaped" mode.

Tried all combinations of \r & \n but no joy. Anyone got any other ideas?

Hi, Can I use my ISY994 to send telnet commands? I want to get it controlling my Virgin Media TiVo box, which accepts telnet commands. When I setup a top network resource it will give me a channel status, same as what I get when i load it in telnet, however I can't get it to send any commands (see attached screenshots) Cheers, Alex

J_Barrett, Nope that was a perfectly reasonable question. I've quit and its working fine now, thanks. Frustratingly though the output isn't powerful enough to switch my relay so going to have to stick a transistor in too. Cheers

Oberkc, I've realised I've been a bit of a muppet. I was setting the non-toggle mode to 'off'. Now I've get it to 'on' all of my separate scenes are working fine! Much better to be able to control in mobilinc too. I'm still sporadically getting this weird gremlin though.. every now an then I choose scene 'A' or 'B' and the lights will change correctly at first, then about 3 seconds later certain lights will just suddenly turn fully on. What's interesting is that when they turn fully on they do so at the scene ramp rate (2 seconds). I haven't used this ramp rate for anything else. I was wondering if the problem might be that I'm including 'Keypad main' in each scene. This is a dimmer but is also controlled by the keypadlinc on & off button. In scenes 'A' and 'B' I'm setting 'keypad main' to 60% and 40% on, and then 3 seconds later it turns 100% on (which is the on level of my 'all on' scene for which 'keypad main' is the controller. Is there some way that scene 'A' is triggering scene 'all on' when it adjusts 'keypad main' to 40 or 60%?

Hi J_Barrett, Thanks for the advice. I've gone into ELK RP and set all of the outputs to 'show' (see attached) I've then gone into ISY and under configuration/ELK clicked 'refresh topology' but no joy. Anything else I should be doing? Cheers

Hi Jimbo, Oberkc, Great point, thanks. I've re-setup the as a single scene with each keypad button as a controller and then set the on level for the other buttons to zero. Seems like a work around to get around the fact that the 'non-toggle' mode for the buttons doesn't work with scenes but at least it is now working how I want. I am also getting this other problem now where I'll press a button for a scene, it will change to the on levels I've chosen but 3-4 seconds later 1 or 2 of the lights will sometimes turn to full brightness! It doesn't happen every time, so troubleshooting is a nightmare. It also seems to mostly happen to the keypadlinc dimmer and the other dimmer next to it. Any ideas on this one?

Hi Shannong, My problem is that ISY will only let me change ELK outputs from 65 to 208 (see attached). I can't see any other way of directly changing the ELK outputs 7 to 16, which are the +12v switched ones. Let me know if I'm missing something. Cheers

Oberkc, I thought exactly the same - that the on levels might be wrong for the keypad but I double checked and they are showing in ISY as having copied across properly form the scene (see attached). Any other ideas?

Hi Larry, I'm not using any programs. This is all created using scenes. I've attached a photo of the scene. Let me know I can provide anything else. Screenshot attached

How do I turn on ELK outputs 7 & 8 using ISY?? I've just hooked up my fire alarm to my ELK M1 using the +12v outputs 7 & 8 to control relays I've installed that connect to my fire alarm 'hush' and 'test' buttons. I've checked the 'test' wiring by connecting this output manually to 12v and it definitely works! But I can't seem to find a way to control the output using ISY. I tried using ISY to turn on output 80 and created a rule within ELK to turn output 8 on/off as output 80 turns on/off (and the same for output 7) but no joy. Any advice? Cheers

Hi, I've recently been setting up some scenes for my living room to provide a little mood lighting depending on the situation. I have a dimmerlinc and a 5 button keypad dimmerlinc in a double gang box, another dimmerlinc 2 metres from this and micro on/off about 3.5 metres away. I've created 2 scenes 'Livingroom_Reading' & 'Livingroom_Cosy' that both use all 4 responders, at various on levels, using buttons 'A' and 'B' no the keypadlinc. All buttons are set to 'non-toggle' as I want a press of each to switch to that scene on only so I can eventually setup another scene for the 'off' button that turns off all of the lights. Both scenes work when I control them using ISY or mobilinc, I can turn them on and off as required and they hit the required on levels. When I use mobilinc to turn the keypad buttons on and off then button 'B' works correctly but button 'A' doesn't. When I use the keypadlinc buttons neither will turn the scenes on but both will turn the scene off if I've switched them on using ISY or mobilinc. If I change the buttons to 'toggle on/off' then they will control the scenes but then I end up with this awkward arrangement where if I want to change scenes sometimes the buttons will switch the lights on and sometimes they'll turn them off, depending on if they've been pressed before. I'd very much appreciate some advice here about what is going on! Cheers

I've upgraded the firmware and all is working now. Thanks for the help.

Hi, Would appreciate some advise as I'm stumped as to what has gone wrong with this! My email notification was working fine until the last few days when I started getting the error "TLS notification failed" My mail server is smtp.mail.me.com, which must have been found as if I turn 'Use TLS' off then I get the error "unsupported authentication message". I've checked my router and port 587 is being forwarded (as advised by apple) http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4864 I don't know what else to try.. Cheers, Alex

How do I add a line break (return) in an email notification? Cheers
