I will try to send it, but the message system is not accepting the file for some reason.

Would love to do so. To where does the log package download go (not to downloads, apparently, on a Mac)? Do you want the "debug" package or one of the others? While I suspect there is a problem with the "log PACKAGE", it appears that I can download a "log" file. I will PM to you. FYI, the error I get when trying to install the Node Server install of undefined failed with message: status is not defined

While updating software for IoP (in preparation for moving from ISY-994), the node servers from PG2 (on policy) all became disconnected. Based on advise from submitting a ticket with UDI, I am now trying to move to PG3. Unfortunately, I cannot get the Hue Emulator to run on PG3, neither while connected to the legacy ISY-994 nor to IoP. When I load the Hue Emulator while connected to the legacy ISY-994 I get a big red error: Node Server install of undefined failed with message: status is not defined When I load it while connected to the IoP, it appears to actually load, but shows current status as disconnected. More details upon request. Thoughts?

I would be a little surprised if this was noise, since this appears universal across a type of device. I wonder if restoring the keypad would solve this (perhaps some link records became corrupted or don't match the IoP).

My first instinct is to confirm that the new "ISY" is seeing the button press. If you open the event viewer and have someone press the button H, does the event register?

I don’t know whether you are late to the party, but this is how I have done echo voice announcements.

Unfortunately, some zwave switches do not trigger program “switched on” coditions, including ge/jasco. “Status” conditions might work. I recall, also, that one might be able to create a node for this switch that DOES respond to switced conditions. I fear, however, that this may be a downside risk with zwave devices.

Yes. I have a couple of empty programs I use as a binary state indicator

??? Run a program step that calls the binary status program "then" or "else" action. Did I miss the intent of this quoted statement?

In different words, since your main basement lights are physically powered by the six-button keypad, and time that you turn on the keypad main (on/off) button, the connected load will also turn on. I was wrong to suggest that it could the on button could be lit without the main basement lights being on.

You may be right. I forgot that this is the button to which the load is connected.

I would imagine that someone would give you some money for this. How much? Who knows. It is hard to believe that is is completely worthless.

I don't think it would be that hard.... if laundry room light is not off or hallway light is not off then turn on keypad main button this is not even close to being a hole yet, compared to some of the stuff you guys do

Good that is is working. Now...the question becomes whether you want the keypad button to be an indicator that at least one of you basement/laundry room lights are on? Are you satisfied that a laundry room or hallway light can be on, but the keypad button stays off?

Please make sure that this is the case. My program was more logic oriented and syntax was approximate, at best. Make sure that your condition is a “control” rather than “status”. If you want us to check your program, feel free to post it here.

I am not convinced that this is true. On my six-button keypads, if the main button is OFF, and I press the OFF button, it will send another OFF signal. (This is also true on toggle and rocker switches.). Given this, you would not have to turn ON the main button before turning it off.

Technically, both ON and OFF buttons are linked (part of a scene) to your two basement lights. If you want only the OFF button to turn other off, a program would work. I would put all the other (besides the two that are linked) lights you want to turn off into a new scene. Then, create a program: if six button switch is switched off then turn off new scene

I recall some saying that these may have been re-branded Foscam cameras. Have you tried accessing them locally, using their IP address?

Good catch snd should be heeded.

One can set up an ISY program as a device for Alexa to turn on or off. When doing so, commanding Alexa to turn off the device (the program, in this case) the program will execute the "ELSE" path of the program. When commanding Alexa to turn on the device, the program will execute the "THEN" path. Given this, my initial reaction would be to create three programs. Logically, they could look something like: Program 1 (the program Alexa would turn on and off): if nothing then run program 2 (if path) else run program 3 (if path) Program 2: if from sunset to sunrise then turn on inside lights turn on outside lights else turn on inside lights Program 3 if from sunset to sunrise turn off inside lights else turn off inside lights turn off outside lights

A scene relationship will not work for this case. I believe a program is the solution you will need for this. Assuming that you also want the opposite (button off when sensor on), such a program could look something like: if sensor is on then turn off button scene* else turn on button scene* *Most keypad buttons cannot be directly turned on or off. Most likely you will need to put the button into a scene and have the program control the scene.

I have not used a z-wave companion switch before. Insteon did not have companion switches. If I were wiring this, I would use two full-feature z-wave switches and link the two switches via zwave communication. At the top of the stairs, connect line to both the switch (line) and to the black wire of the 3-conductor (red, white, black) cable. Connect the neutral wire to the neutral connection on the switch and to the white wire of the 3-conductor cable. Cap off the red wire of the 3-conductor cable (you won't need it). At the bottom of the stairs, black is now line, and white is now neutral. Cap off the red wire. Connect black to switch line. Connect white wire to switch neutral and to load white wire. Connect load black wire to load connection on switch. In all cases and locations connect grounds (bare copper) to switches and to each other. To get your three-way to work you will now have to link the two switches. If using an ISY, create a scene and add both switches, both as controllers. Hopefully, this will work for you.

I would probably be interested in a couple of the IOLincs

same response regarding android...disable the notifications for a given app. In this case, UDMobile.

Accessing the ISY may depend on version of software the ISY is running. It may also require downloading Java on your computer. As MrBill suggests, log onto your router and find your list of connected devices. One of those should be your ISY. That list should also include the IP address (the IP address is probably not something that is printed on some label that is worn). You could also take a shot in the dark and hope that it is a relatively recent software version on the ISY. If so, you could try the ISY launcher. See step 2 of: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Main_Page#Installing_the_Admin_Console_Icon_on_Your_Desktop Put the launcher on your desktop and open it. It may find your ISY. I don't think there is any harm in trying this.
