Stan I watched others use it, spent some time learning it and gradually switching over. The good news is that its all the same alert programs in my ISY, Its a matter of where I send a notification. You can look at the pushover app and decide if you like it. There are a number of competing apps as well. Here is the 'how to' from the wiki https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i_Series_INSTEON:Networking:Mobile_Notification Paul

Hi Stan No, I've only owned a 994i. The resource is used because over time I changed from using text/email notifications (which I believe the 99i supports) to the Pushover notification app. It integrates all messages as a single log, or organized in groups (HVAC, Sprinkler, Alarm, garage, etc notifications). I communicate with Pushover via the internet using a REST API call that can only be done via a Network resource Paul

Here is an example Battery Motion Sensor Driveway - [ID 001A][Parent 0019] If Control (Old) 'Zystem / Battery Alerts / Driveway Motion-Sensor-Low Ba' is switched On Then Resource 'Pushover ISY Log - Driveway MS Battery' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') It says "Control (Old)" because I am V5.04... If you are on V4, use "Control". Paul

There is also integration with ISY V5 Firmware and Nodelink... that requires an external light windows or linux server. It can be used in combination with IFTTT http://forum.universal-devices.com/forum/116-honeywell-tcc/ Paul

I accomplish a simiar thing by having one program that turns things on and two that turns them off The "on" program always turns them on under the same conditions, dusk.. also can be turned on with a double click from 2 switches. The "off" programs control 2 scenes.. one with all premise lights, landscape lights, lamps and decor, and one that only has exterior lights and lamps. It runs another program to check and see if its the days surrounding Christmas, if it is, it uses the "Yard lights and lamps off -xm" scene so that the tree, decor items and Christmas yardlights stay on all night, but the lamps and premise lights are still turned off. Its 2 relatively small programs, so i don't have separate folders and folder conditions. The trickier part is, to get the month / day only, so it works the same way every year with no changes, I had to use io_guy's ISYlink software either V4 isylink, or v5 nodeserver. I'm not sure how to do that in V4 without isylink... on v4 it will simply update 2 variables you specify each day.. it will be the same thing with folders Here are the "off" programs. This runs every day at 1am, .. it first checks to see if its Christmas Lights and Lamps Off - [ID 0005][Parent 0006] If Time is 1:00:00AM Or Time is Sunrise Then $Christmas_Holiday_Month = 'Zystem / isydata' Month (V5 statement, but can be done in V4 with ISYlink) $Christmas_Holiday_Day = 'Zystem / isydata' Day of Month (V5 statement, but can be done in V4 with ISYlink) Run Program 'Lights and Lamps off Xmas' (If) Wait 15 minutes (Random) Set Scene 'Yard / Yard and Lamp Security / Yard light and lamps off' Off Check to see if its the days surrounding Christmas Lights and Lamps off Xmas - [ID 004A][Parent 0006][Not Enabled] If $Christmas_Holiday_Month is 12 (Is it the right month/ days?) And $Christmas_Holiday_Day >= 23 (If yes run this program, if no return) And $Christmas_Holiday_Day <= 27 Then Wait 15 minutes (Random) Set Scene 'Yard / Yard and Lamp Security / Yard light and lamps off - xm' Off Stop program 'Lights and Lamps Off' (Keep the original program from completign)

Nice find! Thank you Interesting that the message repeats are USB only. If swapped with a current model unit, and left battery powered, I wonder how many ALL ON users might be helped with this? External set up button... that will help some when tweaking scenes, or factory resetting a related switch/device Still indoor/out door... I hope that the precision of the fit of plastic components has been reviewed and improved. It took me few years to learn to superglue over the right joints to keep the rain out of the current model. Sensor / Alarm grade CR123A battery... that should keep it happy for a few years and avoid a lot of latter climbing... though the page says 6 - 18 month battery life... hmmm. Since I have a number of them for my SimpliSafe sensors, it makes the argument for rechargeable. This sounds promising, but not going to lie, I am always a bit skeptical about new products. It won't say and we won't know ahead of time if it will misbehave on low battery. Will it be the same interface, or be yet another new API and UDI will have to wait to get it so it can be used? No manual yet..... If its clear that it can be installed on the ISY and no surprises in the manual, I will put one side by side with my existing under deck 'critter detector' and see how it fairs Paul

Because that puts them nearer to the 2011 time frame, that is most likely it. I lost 2 installed from that time as well, but it was several years ago. Interesting that both of mine we out around the same time too Paul

Hey Stan A little more tweaking based on that change, adding parens. If ( From 5:00:00PM To 11:59:00PM (same day) Or From 5:00:00AM To 7:00:00AM (same day) ) And ( Status 'Dining Room Slider-Opened' is On ) And ( Status 'Family Room Slider-Opened' is On Or Status 'Basement French Door-Opened' is On ) Then Set Scene 'Rear 4-Way' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Let's story board what this change does, the program only runs when: Its bewteen the two schedules Dinning room slider is open One of the Family Room Slider or the Basement French door is opened Paul

Hi Stan I would start by using parens to contain the "or". Start by picking "or()...." at the bottom right of the screen, and us the "Move up" button to move the open paren to the top. This will mean one of these 2 has to be true, which is what I think you mean time wise. If ( From 5:00:00PM To 11:59:00PM (same day) or From 5:00:00AM To 7:00:00AM (same day) ) And Status 'Dining Room Slider-Opened' is On And Status 'Family Room Slider-Opened' is On And Status 'Basement French Door-Opened' is On Then Set Scene 'Rear 4-Way' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') A note: The "and"s in the remaining lines of the program all have to be true for the program to work... do you mean any of them - use "or", or all of them - use "and" Paul

Did you try a "Factory Reset" of the switches, and use "Restore Device" by right-clicking on them in the admin console? Factory Reset: 1) Pull Set button out (creating an Air Gap) 2) Wait 10 Seconds 3) Push Set Button in and Hold it in ~ 10 secondsKeypadLinc will (Beep) 4) Release the Set button Paul

If it exhibits the same behavior after trying Teken's suggestion. try a factory reset and Restore device from the admin console. I had this happen a few weeks ago and that fixed it. Paul

Depending what your requirement is, you might be able to use a standard bulb and sneak a micro module with 'sense' in the fixture. When it senses the light on or off it could switch states locally and then update the PLM... which in turn could activate a scene, run ISY programs, etc. This is an idea only, I don't know how big the fixture is or how available the wiring to the lights is, eg wire nuts that could be accessed to add the micro module Paul

When you're writing the "Then" clause in your program, pick "Insteon" from the Action drop down. All of the Insteon devices and scenes will be listed. Pick the one you want and turn it on or off Paul

Hi Tom,. and welcome to the forums! Its related to order of precedence. All you need to do is use the "Add and" function in the Admin console, lower right of the program window. If From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) and ( Status 'Computer Room Door' is On Or Status 'Front Door' is On ) Paul

I think Verizon has changed their mail relaying in the last few days. Someone else reported similar symptoms the other day http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/20859-notification-mail-settings/?hl=verizon Paul

Hi John- The signalinc is a passive coupler, and does not active insteon messaging components. Its unlikely its failed or the culprit. Its most likely line noise, possibly caused by the load its self is the culprit. What is the load on the togglinc? Are there electronics, low voltage transformers or things like furnace motors on the circuit near where the togglinc is? Paul

You can create individual scenes and program for each key that detect each key being turned on, Here's how to do it Create one ISY Scene for each key, include the fan and the Key as a controller. That way, the key will turn the fan on instantly And, pressing the lit key a second time will turn the fan back off, if turned on by mistake Create 1 program for each key, here is the pattern If "keypad key B" is switched on --- Pick the key then Wait 2 minutes --- Change the wait in each program to match the key set scene "keypad key b scene" off --- Turns the fan and the key back off I would have a timer program for the A on/off key too, like several hours... you probably do not mean for it to run continuosly You can put the programs all in a folder to keep it organized Paul

Oberkc is correct You can update your current ISY, I went from Zwave to Zigbee ZS for smart meter. UDI had to do a one time admin change on the back end. I would submit a ticket with a link your post above,... use "Contact us" You'll have to open the ISY and swap cards, but its fairly straight forward. https://www.universal-devices.com/udi-support/ Paul

Hi and welcome to the UDI forums! Node Servers are a key feature introduced with the Version 5 of ISY firmware. If you have V5, there will be a Node Servers menu at the top of the Admin Console. If you choose to look at V5, its still alpha/beta. You can read more about it here: http://forum.universal-devices.com/forum/108-50/ Paul

Sorry, I deleted my post after seeing your original post was about a duct booster so thought it wasn't relevant... doh! I originally had it on an x10 sensor that measured when the furnace was on -.Powerflash & Universal modules. I briefly tried the Insteon stat but they locked up when connected to my old furnaces. It's been a few years, but my recollection was when the Insteon was working, it had to be queried a lot to get the program to work... over all it wasn't the best but maybe someone here better knows its ins and outs. I finally went to the Venstar T5900 that reported when it was actually calling heat or AC to the ISY, that's what was eventually adapted to (below). In the coldest part of winter it could run 20 - 25 minute cycles. I had to play with 'wait' times to balance how much was delivered with boost. The Tjernlund is very powerful and redirected a lot of air. I retired this program after insulating that side of the house and replacing the furnaces. HVAC Duct Booster - Kristen - [ID 0020][Parent 0017][Not Enabled] If 'HVAC / Upstairs' Heat/Cool State is Heating Or 'HVAC / Upstairs' Heat/Cool State is Cooling Then Repeat Every 15 minutes Wait 3 minutes Set 'HVAC / Kristen Duct Booster' On Wait 3 minutes Set 'HVAC / Kristen Duct Booster' Off Else Set 'HVAC / Kristen Duct Booster' Off

Hi Bill A few things, What is your polling interval in the Climate module? What does the program 'Snow Probably' do, can you post it? You could try putting a "Repeat every X minutes" as the first statement before "Run Program Snow Probable". Paul

Hi I'm not sure "how close is too close"...but it seems you are really close. For the scenes, yes, that's what I mean. I have several large scenes that are very close to the same thing..but one has some additional device they are convenient for effect and functionality.. but if I had to start chopping, it would be there... if that's possible for you. Paul

Hi Fred The ISY Portal is a cloud based service of which the ISY is a client. They each have a part to play. The ISY logs in to the ISY Portal service. This allows you to close any router ports you have open for the ISY. As you pointed out, the Portal can be thought about in 2 ways: 1) Remote access to the ISY as an internet appliance with no firewall ports open. ISY->Portal->You outside of your home.. The ISY calls out to the portal and stays attached. You login into the ISY Portal to get back in. Functions include: Remote Admin Console, Remote web page access, Remote Home Automation Dashboard... and connectivity for mobile applications that support it.... Mobilinc and Agave are what I'm aware of, I'm sure others do too. You can also reboot, upgrade and look at logs. 2) Connection to 'Cloud HA' Enablers. Today this includes the Amazon Echo and IFTTT (if this then that). UDI has indicated their intent to also include Google Home as well. Since all 3 of these integrate many individual products like thermostats, switches, alarms systems, etc... its likely UDI will consider additional big integration points like the Echo, IFTTT, Home...if more come along. Yes, if you bought and paid for the Network Module, it remains yours.... that's how its worked out for me I use all of its features currently. Its been worth it to me. I don't think UDI will want modify the portal to split those apart when its $2 a month to begin with. Paul

The iolinc has a 5 volt rating for input, and HVAC uses 24 volts AC, so I wouldn't wire it directly to an iolinc Iolinc contact specs: 5V (10mA), GND, Sense, N/C, N/O, Common (28-16 gauge wire) I've seen posts where people have wired the 24vac call to a relay, and let the relay switch the iolinc. One of our more electronically inclined here might know the right part specification, or search around the forums Paul

I've had a hub and taken it apart. Different case, but the daughter card is the same thing you find in the PLM. No difference outside of the interface to local LAN and connect.insteon.com Paul
