I left the ISY home automation system in the home we sold. The new owners thought it was neat. I spent a few hours with them after they moved in to introduce them to the system. Apparently they are not using it. They called a week ago and locked themselves out of the house.

@asbrilShould you decide to get another nanoMote, below is how the NanoMote can be used in programs with ISY. When you program a "Control" as an IF, these are the 2 statements that you can use to access Tap or Held. If NanoMote = (Control) Scene Button 1 - 4 == On This is single tap If NanoMote = (Control) Scene Button 1 - 4 == Fade Stop This is held (2 seconds, then release)

Yes, you can. What type of alert do you want send?

Thank you very much, @Javi! Works great!

I have added some State Variables to my "Favorites" screen. When I open the "Favorites" screen, I need to press on the variable to have it expose the variable information in the "Favorites" screen. If possible, it would be more convenient to have the variable information populated when the "Favorites" screen is opened.

The remotes, as all with battery-only powered devices, need to be put in linking mode for them to receive the updates. To put the remote in linking mode, press the button on the bottom of the remote until the light starts blinking. Once the remote is in linking mode, right click on the device and select "write updates to device".

Did you restart the admin console after adding the node servers? -
I'm not aware of any solutions.

It appears to me, per the manual, that the device is operating on European Z-Wave frequencies.

Try excluding the device and then try including the device again. Sometimes excluding the device is necessary before the device can be included. How far is the device from your ISY? You may need to move the device closer to the ISY to include it.

Programming for a Zwave door lock (and using Alexa?)
dbuss replied to ctviggen1's topic in Z-Wave - Series 300/500
I have a program that locks my doors 10 minutes after they have been closed. I use a door sensor to make sure the lock doesn't lock when the door is open. I also have program that runs in the evening that checks to make sure the doors are locked and if they aren't locked they are locked. Alexa announces that the house is secure after the evening lock check is completed. I don't have a program for when we have guests. It could easily be done by having a program that disables the locking program. This program could be enabled through Alexa if you wanted to do that. I use Alexa only to check the status of my locks and to lock the lock. I don't use Alexa to unlock the door locks. -
@asbril Here's what I did to make calls from Alexa. 1. Created a state variable for each device I wanted to call. 2.Created a routine in Alexa to call the device when the variable was changed. 3.created this program to to change the variable. Master BR Call Dick's Phone - [ID 00C3][Parent 0001] If 'Master BR Alexa Remote - B' is switched On Then $Master_BR_Call_Dicks_Cell = 1 Wait 30 seconds $Master_BR_Call_Dicks_Cell = 0 Else $Master_BR_Call_Dicks_Cell = 0 I'm using an Insteon eight button remote in non-toggle mode. It works great. I see no reason you couldn't do the same thing with the Nanomote. I have a Nanomote and after a few trys, the ISY added it.
-
AT&T is not an option for me either. I've been a Verizon customer for over 20 years. Your post gave me some ideas on using routines and remotes though. Thank you!
-
You can also create a routine in Alexa to call a certain phone number. Then when the routine is triggered Alexa will call that number from the Alexa device you choose in the routine.
-
Or link Alexa to an AT&T account.
-
You can create a routine to have Alexa make a call to a contact. However, when the routine is triggered ,Alexa will ask you how you want to call your contact. By phone, Alexa, dropin, etc.
-
Possibly by linking an AT&T account to Alexa and create a routine to call a contact when the a button on the Nanomote is pressed.

Detecting Loss of connection to ZWave device in a program
dbuss replied to John Vickers's topic in Z-Wave - Series 300/500
Here's a sample of the query program. If From Sunrise To Sunrise (next day) Then Repeat Every 15 minutes Set 'ZW 025 On-Off Power Switch' Query Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Here's a sample of the notification program. If 'ZW 025 On-Off Power Switch' Responding is False Then Send Notification to 'Email' content 'At Office' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') The first program will query the device. When the "popup saying that the request failed" happens, the second program will send the notification. -
Detecting Loss of connection to ZWave device in a program
dbuss replied to John Vickers's topic in Z-Wave - Series 300/500
If the device doesn't not respond you get a message saying it did not respond. To check it out, disconnect a Z-Wave device from power and manually query it from the admin console. You will see the notification pop-up. That notification can execute a notification or variable in a program. -

dbuss replied to John Vickers's topic in Z-Wave - Series 300/500
You could have a program to query the device at certain intervals. Then have another program that checks for the device not responding and if not responding send a notification or set a state variable. I'm sure there are many other ways this could be accomplished as well. -
Try changing your then to this: $State_1 = 1 Remove the + sign.
