I always could connect via a mac...no special procedures that I recall. I recall using simply: http://xxx.yyy.aa.bb/portnumber make sure you use forward slash /

Much can depend on how you have your buttons configured. Are they in "Non-toggle" mode? Are you using the same button to show status and to control? As far as the buttons showing status, i assume putting them in the same scene, as responders, would accomplish this. I must admit that your use of "resources" is beyond my experience, so I am not getting a handle on how these programs are supposed to execute and how they interface with your garage door opener. Still, have you tried "control" versus "status" in the conditions? I am wondering aloud if you have some keypad conditions which are changing as a result of the program execution.

Yes...confusion on my part.

Thanks. It is worth checking out the program. In my mind, the program is simple enough and should work. Any responses to my other questions?

Post your program. Did this program once work with the mini remote and now does not? A few obvious possibilities: -Is you program "disabled"? -Is you program in a folder who's conditions are not met?

I understand that the hub accomplishes this by employing a cloud-based capability. I am not willing to give up my direct access to the ISY for a static IP address. There are other alternatives that don't require this sacrifice.

To the other posts, I will add my own understanding. First, I also understand that the insteon cameras are simply foscams in disguise. Second, unlike mobilinc for android, the iOS version of mobilinc can display camera images. Given this, you would have the same app (mobilinc) that provides remote access to the ISY and insteon also display your video images. While I cannot confirm that mobilinc is compatible with the insteon camera (I suspect it is), I am more confident that mobilinc IS compatible with a much larger selection of cameras than is the insteon software for the hub. Regardless, it is not too hard to come up with a camera app for your remote devices for video images, and use mobilinc for insteon. I can tell you that IP Cam Viewer lists the insteon camera as compatible. I am quite satisfied viewing video imagery from a separate app than I use to control insteon. I suppose that you could leave the 2412 in place after you install insteon, but I am not sure that it plays a role with the imagery. I suspect that would, in the end, create more problems than it is worth. Instead, I would use a generic camera app for the video imagery after you install the ISY-994. But, if you are seriously committed to that software for you video imagery, I suggest temporarily unplugging the 2412 module and see if you still receive imagery data. If so, I see no reason why you could not use it after the ISY-994 is installed. Of course, you could not use that software for control of your insteon system via the ISY.

BTW, the exclamation point is indicative of a communication error with that specific device. The green icon is telling you that there are changes made to that devices that are to be written.

Put a filterlinc in, and plug the bitcoin gadget into the filterlinc.

Not to my knowledge.

I understand you could use your power supply through an IOLinc relay.

resetting the KPL is something that is worthwhile trying before concluding the device is faulty. I tend to like to try the easy things first, but you can try performing a factory reset, then restoring the device from the ISY. Another option is to get an extension cord and plug it into an outlet on the same circuit as your keypad, then plug the PLM into the cord. If that helps, then a communication problem it is. If that does not work, then a factory reset is definitely in order.

Can you control it from the ISY? My first inclination is to suspect communication problems. Is the load on that switch something other than incandescent? What happens if you temporarily remove the bulb?

Is keypad A button the primary load-controlling button? Is it a dimmer? When you select keypad A in the device listing, do you see a status? Does it change when you press the button?

My experience is that the presence of wifi enabled or not has no effect on remote access. Neither does one have to "configure" the ISY, other than to internally set the ports to match the forwarding rules of your router. Is it possible you have a port conflict somewhere? Perhaps there is another device trying to use port 443? When you get a chance, change this to a different port, and configure your port forwarding rules to match. My router also has "reservations" for ports, so one could also assign a given device to a specific port. Is it possible that your ISP has changed the IP address for your vacation home? Then, once set, use https://myipaddress:myport/

To EricK comments, I also find it good practice the scene XXXX NOT include switch1 or switch2 (any device that is part of the program conditions).

Yes, unfortunate. I understand this to be a limitation of the keypad, itself.

The options might, in part, be based on the type of variable, integer or state? Mostly, I suspect you are having difficulty due to the fact that there is no way to send direct commands to keypad secondary buttons. Create a scene with the proper button (if necessary, a single-device scene), then use a program based upon the variable to adjust the newly-created scene.

I am still in the contemplative stage for the elk, and do not have one. I am interested in this as a learning experience for myself. As far as programming the ISY, I may be able to help, though I don't have any such programs. What I find interesting personally is turning wishes into logic steps and programs. What I don't have direct knowledge about is the access to your elk sensors and relays. Assuming relays and sensors appear to the ISY as simply another device, could it be as simple as something like: first program (disabled) if status elk garage door sensor is on then turn on KPL H button else turn off KPL H button a second program if control KPL H button is switched on then set ELK relay garage door trigger on (or whatever command tells the ELK to momentarily close) wait 10 seconds (to give garage door enough time to do its thing) run first program (then path) (to set proper status of KPL H) put KPL H into non-toggle ON so that each button press sends an ON command Perhaps I am totally off base here, so feel free to ignore.

Glad it is working. After continuing to ponder your problem, I have become concerned that I failed to suggest a viable solution to halting an on-going timer by turning ON one, or both, of the switches. Be sure to check for this scenario. Unfortunately, I have lost track of your exact programs, but I think the solution might be to modify (and re-enable) your timer program (whatever it is called) to something like: if control driveway is not switched on or control frontlawn is not switched on then turn lights on wait 45 seconds turn lights off Once modified, your other program would continue to call this program (then path). Adding these two conditions will send this program to the ELSE path (halting any ongoing wait period) any time one of the switches is turned on. Hopefully, that makes sense. Have a good Easter, yourself. Family is arriving. He has risen. All is good.

Also, this will have no effect on the variable condition. The now-two programs should (hopefully) set the variable correctly. The integer program should run based on the condition of that variable.

I don't believe that this will have any impact on how you should call out frontlightsmanual. Disabling the program will simply stop it from being triggered by its own conditions. When called by another program, it will continue to execute normally.

I must say that I am having trouble understanding why this does not work. Is it possible that your ISY is not seeing the OFF commands? If it is seeing the commands, I can only think to go ahead and break this into two programs.

did you ever put those additional parentheses in? I am not sure that this would cause any real problem, but it is at least worth trying. I will look over your program again to see if I can catch anything. Perhaps I did not get the logic correct to start. Worse case, create two programs: if control yard light is switched on or control driveway light is switch on then set integervariable to 1 else if control yard light is sitched off or control drivewaylight is switched off then set integervariable to 0 else

Of which program?
