I’m excited at ability to write programs in English and I was a long time programmer.

As I recall, later Insteon devices support the scene devices having repeat option so you might look into that. Not certain how it applies when eISY is the one issuing the scene command.

Not my area of expertise as I have small zwave footprint but have you run the zwave option to repair network? If not, you need to do it several times so zwave devices “neighbors” are sorted out.

Yes. I used them form eISY with the PG3x Schlage node server/plugin.

I’ve got Schlage encode plus deadbolts which are WiFi and thread with an Apple TV as border router. I use them with Schlage plugin which leverages a cloud api. They work great for me. Battery life has been 6-9 months.

You should be able to access it via eISY.local from your web browser. It a work in progress and is not ready to replace all of AC yet. That’s assuming your eISY is up to date.

My PLM is several feet away from eISY to get it away from RF storm of equipment so I’ve stuck with serial to extend it via twisted pair cat5e cable. Likely just as effective with usb but just haven’t done it.

Sounds like you need to open a ticket with UD.

Are you running wired (is there one or two Ethernet ports on it) or wireless? The individual interfaces will have different MAC addresses. Of course it could just be a misprint.

Thanks, @bmercier . Yes export configuration sounds great. I got most of them going back 15 years (which is excessive) and have referred to them many times. It’s been mostly research but something went wrong with programs a few years ago and I was much more comfortable using program listing to repair than restoring a backup. Have a great week.

Have you tried to ssh to eISY using something like putty? Also, try eISY.local from browser to see if eISY-II is reachable.

Thanks.

Again thanks. I thought you might be saying an eISY variable exposed to Alexa as a contact closure was at one second compared to an actual Insteon device exposed to Alexa. I believe you meant a variable triggering a webhook was one second. Do I have it now?

So qc Thanks. So that I’m clear the variable signaling method was much faster?

@bmercier , I love new backup option and where eISY-ui is going in general. Thanks to UD and you! I’d love to see options to include: Topology Text version of all programs Text version of variables Text version of all settings Text version of logs I manually do most of this when doing backup sequences. They have proven to be incredibly helpful. Clearly not everyone would want to wait while all of this occurs (especially topology) so that’s why I mention them as options. Thanks

I do it to announce a leak from leak sensor. Need to change to use leak sensor state. It’s just feels odd that only way to add these devices to Alexa includes a spoken. Did I miss something?

Glad it helped. I had to run it many times to get mine sorted.

I did similar with old RF remotes so I could control ceiling fans and a sun setter awning before Bond device. Some of the solder points were tiny but worked great.

The new chamberlain and lift master doors do not support simple contact closure as a method to open and close the doors. Lots to read on it but I elected to I use the RATGDO device and the plugin that supports it.

Great. Thanks for the insights. I too want one with wet mopping. Have a great weekend. Paul

A thought… we had cats when we built the house so motions are pet immune and I had them set so they didn’t scan floors level so they may be fine anyway. I’ll set it up and watch for motion triggers while it maps the floor plan.

Thanks, @dbwarner5 for the great insight. I’m going to order one from Amazon today. I hate it when I get things so backwards as in don’t run when armed away because of motion sensors. Clearly I was thinking run it while I’m away so I don’t have to listen to it. 😂 I’ll look at DSC Plugin to see whether I need to disarm and arm to bypass motions or I can Charlie it’s armed. What do you use for cleaning solution? We’ve been using Bona wood for many years and information I found indicated Roomba solution and Bona are equivalent if not identical. EDIT: with second purchase I’d assume you are pleased with their products. Any advice on optimal results? Happy New Year!

@bpwwer , Happy New Year! We've been considering purchasing a 705 model and just happened to notice this plugin. Couple of quick questions: 1) Do we know if plug in supports the 705 models? 2) What does the plugin provide compared to their app in general? I was thinking maybe I could setup the standard stuff in app like mapping and do something like only run based on if alarm system is armed away. Does that make any sense? Thanks again for all the wonderful work all the way back to when I moved from HomeSeer to ISY so many years ago now! Paul

All good advice but I’m curious as switches can be programmed at switch without eISY. Is it possible that happened?

Looks good. I built something less elegant using wago connectors.
