I can say this having retired from a career in IT: It always picks a whopper of a time to fall down and break. Happy New Year, Benoit and UDI team!

There are different approaches, do any of these sound close? I use the paid for notifications plugin to write notifications to the pushover notification app. The notifications are from iox programs based on certain events or sensor limits. The pushover interface lets me filter down to what I'm looking for which has allowed me to learn what I need. It also allows export to a excel compatible csv file. It's important to have the end in mind when naming the notifications and arranging the data points so you can easily pull out what you want with the app. Another approach: It has been very helpful for tuning my iox programs to use yolink brand sensors and the plugin. The yolink app has graphs and data points built in so it's not been necessary to do the hard work of writing iox programs to capture data points and make graphs. I can just look at the graphs in the app. For temperature, I use the 8003 temp/humidity sensor which could be installed in a plenum or at a register. It can be used up to ~120 F so in range for home heating applications. Not sure what voltage you're looking for, but I use a yolink smartplug to monitor my dryer's on off. The dryer is plugged into it. I tuned it to the extremes of it running or not running, but the yolink plugin will return discrete runtime power consumption values that would be in their app. I've seen posts in the forum where there was a way to use network resources to write to a google sheet. I experimented with it but found it hard for me to do for the results I wanted.

There is an older post here on this device. Looks like there are hints to what you're looking for

This is from yolink docs: The sensor updates the app each hour, minimum, but also updates if any of the following occur: - At least 0.9 F degree change over a period longer than 1 minute - At least 3.6 F degree change within 1 minute - At least 5% humidity changes over a period longer than 1 minute I use a number of the 8003s and it took me a while to figure this out. I've seen it as fast as 10 minutes, but also as long many hours. This is most likely to extend battery life, which is impressive. A way to see for yourself is to open one of the sensors in the yolink app, and touch and slide along the graph lines. As you swipe, the different update datapoints, with their update time, will show up. You can also click on the history icon to see it in a table.

log in to your Ecobee account on the website, navigate to the "Home IQ" section, then select "System Monitor" where you can choose a date range and download your data as a CSV file; this will provide you with a detailed record of your temperature and humidity readings from your thermostat.

Correct it's on it's way to dieing. I think it was mentioned above. It will fade away in and out until it dies for good. Now is your chance to replace it in your terms

For creating notifications after you get each phone configured, you'll create one one program for each person: if geofence1 is true then Set 'Notification / UDM' Send message content X Notification ID (ID=X) else Set 'Notification / UDM' Send message content X Notification ID (ID=X) Let's assume you have no notifications defined today. In the case X=1 for you in geo fency, X=2 for you being out of geofence. X=3 for your wife in geo fency, X=4 for her being out of geofence. But X should be what the custom notification # in. You create those custom messages under the iox configuration tab - Emails/Notifications/Customizations

I've had an ecobee for year. I came from Venstar Colortouchs that had tons of settings and adjustments you can make. I also had a lot of iox programming to keep things adjusted. The ecobee is the opposite of that... it takes care of just about everything on its own. You'll want to get used to letting it do its thing and also looking at the app for settings and features. For the occupied sensors, they change to occupied immediately when something crosses their path. I use the remote sensor on our master bedroom to turn off the suite lights when not occupied.. its exactly 30 minutes to the second after the last motion sensed The eco+ is an install time decision, or later with the app. You can look in the app, or here The value I get from the plugin is some notifications for reporting, turning lights off when leaving an area also to activate the HVAC fan to follow up outdoor vent fan automation for our master bath and upstairs laundry. Edit: What causes the ecobee to go into these Eco+ states? Mine normally uses 0, 6 and 7 not 1. EN_ECOHCS-0 = Idle EN_ECOHCS-1 = Heat EN_ECOHCS-6 = AuxHeat EN_ECOHCS-7 = AuxHeat2 EN_ECOHCS-8 = AuxHeat3 I'm not sure this is right. Do you have a heat pump? Can indicate which wires from your system go to which wiring spot on the ecobee?

Why to be sure I understand: if any one of the three leaves or comes home, all three people should get a notification?

It's true of most forums; do a Google search and add udi isy.

Give this post a read:

If you have programs it will help if you paste the text of them here

I use the ecobee plug-in for reading fan status. I have a program that monitors the fan runtime for when its status is on, but not because of heat or cool cycles as I have several functions that cycle the fan manually and I want to track that. It's worked fine for the year I've had it. Something that will help is to go into pg3x for ecobee and turn on debug level logging. Let the event you're looking for happen. Attach the log here or pm it to @Jimbo.Automates and referring to this post.

As Brian suggests I put an old phone charger block on several of my Christmas LEDs to get rid of the glow or pulse. Sometimes it takes 10 seconds or more to finally have it stop.

I migrated years ago from 2 easyfloras to a rainmachine. The software I used was io_guy's nodelink which doesn't fit in the pg3x model. However, 2 things: There is a pg3x plugin for easyflora in the production store from another developer The rainmachine is extremely capable including internet weather. It does just about everything on its own. I used the plugin to run one "hot zones" program based on outside temp and also create notifications when things ran. I've since sold that house... I think rainmachine changed the remote access model to subscription. You'll want to look at that before deciding to go this route.

Yes, that looks right. There's a catch-22 with the PLM restore.... you have to be connected to do it. Try powering down the eISY Unplug the the plm Unplug and firmly replug the plm's cable to the eISY on both ends plug the plm back in wait 10 seconds, the start eisy back up

It happened to mine when I first set it up. It took 2 or 3 times. I'd the insteon box checked in iox under config?

There's a couple of things to look at How old is the plm? Post the 4 numbers on the white sticker on the back of you don't know the year you bought it. Is the LED by the set button lit? It should be. If that checks out or the plm is new: when I first set up my eisy that happened to me and I had to restart eisy several times. Then it was good.

Pg3x is the owner of the node & it's data.. it's best to delete the nodes within each plug-in there. But normally when you do, they're removed. If a node is blank, that means there wasn't data to update it. Sometimes it takes a while or certain events to happen. The details of that could be in the plug-in docs, or you could post a specific question about certain nodes in the forum under the plugins section.

Can you look under Tools>Diagnostics>PLM Info/Status? What does it say?

The limits are high for me. I don't remember specifics, but their web page explains it. I paid one time for the app one time $5 each for my android phone and ipad

I've used pushover app for a number of years. Since using eisy, I've switched from using network resources to the paid for notification plug-in with pushover. I don't include image attachments, but pushover can have them, not sure if the the notification plug-in supports them. Worth asking in that forum. Pushover gives me organized notifications without clogging up email or text. The notifications can be put in groups they call apps, but this of them ssy folders. The pics are apps (folder) view and details in one of the apps(folders)

There's a thousand and one assumptions we can all make about how it's going to be architected. It's probably best to be encouraged that they've been listening and are working on it, and evaluate it once we can do that.

The address is printed on the front, bottom right of the faceplate mount as you face the outlet. Small type, with a qr code you can scan.. It's meant for scanning it into an insteon hub, but it will come up and you can read it on your phone You can also put the eisy in linking mode, press the set button and have the eisy find it

In the comments in the announcement, Michel says "yes" The initial Jan 25 release is Insteon only
