[isy994i 5.0.16b - homebridge v1.4.1 - pradeepmouli plugin - error Error initializing ISY: {}]

Thanks MrBill.  I made a rooky mistake and had the ip address wrong.  (oh noooooooo mrbill)

Now that it finds my isy994i and lists the devices in the homebridge log, how do I get them to show up as an accessories?

[isy994i 5.0.16b - homebridge v1.4.1 - pradeepmouli plugin - error Error initializing ISY: {}]

Hello.  I'm trying out Homebridge with the pradeepmouli plugin.  When I restart Homebridge, the logs say Error initializing ISY: {}.

Does my isy994i have to have internet access enabled ?  I've tried enabling it anyways and it fails to enable.

The Homebridge log file says:

[isy-nodejs] Error initializing ISY: {}

[2022-05-01, 2:46:29 p.m.] [ISY] ISY has 0 devices and 0 scenes

Does anyone have any suggestions?

[How to monitor water temp via ISY and catch more fish!]

unfortunately it reads 126 degrees on my ISY once it goes below zero.

Hi, yes the probe is connected to the insteon 2441zth wireless thermostat.   What a pity it can't display negative numbers.

Hi,

I did this with an external probe from another kind of thermometer.  It works and shows the temperature on the large display and reads it back to my ISY994i fine, but as soon as it reaches below zero it displays EE.

 

Does yours display negative temperatures with the smarthome external probe (connected your way with soldering it to the board)?

Thanks.

Chad.

 

This thread will show you how to get water temp (aquarium, pool, pond, etc) into your Insteon/ISY. In my case with a pond it will help me catch more fish. Using the new Insteon wireless thermostat http://www.smarthome.com/2441ZTH/INSTEON-Wireless-Thermostat/p.aspx?green=21036187435 and the waterproof sensor http://www.smarthome.com/2433A3/Waterproof-Temperature-Sensor-for-INSTEON-Wireless-Thermostat/p.aspx you can monitor the temp of any water reservoir.

I was told the wireless thermostat would not send the waterproof sensor's temp to the ISY or any software for that matter. And they were right until I came up with this solution. I did some testing, cutting, and soldering and fixed the limitation. Basically, you have to cut the existing thermocouple (see pics) and solder the waterproof sensor wire to the thermostat in the same location. Then put the waterproof sensor in the water. You can add up to 100 feet of 22 gauge wire to the waterproof sensor.

Now my neighbor and I get an e-mail every morning telling us the water temp of our 8 acre pond. Using customized notifications I can get the e-mail to tell us what type of lure to use based on the water temp. This is based on guidelines like this... http://www.amazon.com/Bass-Minder-Sticker/dp/B004RDMT7S/ref=sr_1_sc_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1352503719&sr=8-2-spell&keywords=bassminder.

This will allow us to catch more fish and chart the water temp. I hope this helps some of you!!!

Enjoy!!!
