  1. If your plans / distance allow it, go up the west coast of lower michigan along Lake Michigan on the way to Mackinaw Island. Great coastal towns like Ludington, Frankfort, Glen Arbor, Petoskey and Harbor Springs. Sleeping Bear National Seashore is particularly beautiful. Last year I ran into @dbwarner5 in Elk Rapids at Short's craft brewery while at a kayaking event up there.
  2. That's a great suggestion! Like you, there will be records of how much I've spent there over the ~17 years, and on what specific items, by number, which would identify single band. I only have 2 left, early lamplincs. I only think about them at Christmas as they get put away with the decorations at the end of the season and forgotten. They keep working with no weird behavior, and it looks like the $20 I'd get for them would not leave me much after shipping.
  3. We love Northern Michigan, the bulk of our camping is up there. A friend of ours is CFO at Cheboygan brewery. In SC, we stayed in Santee State Park. Temps were high 60s to low 70s... Sunny.. *NO BUGS*. We liked sc so much in March we already booked our campsites for next year.
  4. My wife and I take our dogs and camper to state and national parks to hike, kayak and bike. Mostly in Michigan, but we recently got back from a week+ winter relief in South Carolina near Charleston. I made plans a while back for this fall to go to the East Coast and Quebec.
  5. To add to @Techman's answer, there is one model of i3 paddle switch - PS01. It can be configured to be a dimmer or a relay. It has both dimmer and relay electronics in it that can be configured at the switch, or in iox. It saves on spares as one switch can replace dimmer or relay function. I've always found them flexible. If it's not possible on the online form, they give a contact email support@insteon.com , tell them what you have, what you want and my guess is that they will accommodate you.
  6. A couple of things, They're probably tired of supporting single band device problems Per the web page for this promotion, if you ship back 10+ devices, you get an additional $15 rebate. I imagine if you were sending back an even larger number, they would work with you on that if you contacted them first.
  7. I have a number of i3 paddles. I can't find that setting. I looked at the main device, the flags and also under options for programs What specific i3 switch is this, maybe the i3 keypad? Can you provide a screen shot of where you're seeing this?
  8. So some "ifs" here If you know powershell ...and... If there's a windows function that detects the docker and returns a value.... .... Then a powershell script could look for the docker to crash and write to the ISY web api and change a variable or run a program. I've done this part on raspbian on an RPi when I had one. I used a python program but similar approach.
  9. When you use your Admin Console remotely, you enter your UDI Portal account (email) and that password when logging in.
  10. Bigger link table and upgraded components is all I found out. I am hoping for i3 comms but didn't get a response on that either way.
  11. While it won't help at the moment, Insteon announced that a new PLM is coming, hopefully this summer/year. One of the features is a bigger links table.
  12. Are you using the app? Have you tried editing with iox/admin console? Are you using insteon? Lights that turn on but not off can be the symptom of a line noisy load like a transformer or motor. When the insteon switch turns the noisy device on, it starts up and creates line noise that overwhelms the switch's electronics. Could you answer those questions, and then post one program that shows one problem?
  13. Ok, you'll need 2 programs <Program 1> Computer Cabinet once an hour If <no statement> Then Repeat every 1 hour Run If Program Computer cabinet <Program 2> Computer Cabinet <your current program> Notes: Set the first program to run on start up Disable program 2 so it does not run automatically What this will do is the the ISY will run program 1 when its started Program 1 will run once an hour Program one will call program 2 Program 2 is disabled so it will only run when program 1 calls it
  14. Add a Repeat statement as the first statement under then. One of the options is "Repeat Every" set that to 30 minutes. The statements under Repeat will indent Note that when the conditions of the If are no longer true, it will stop. In this program, it should bounce back and forth between then and else... which I think is your intent
  15. I had to reboot my new eisy several times to get it recognized. Then it was fine
