I did the same when I installed it. LOL

Did you enter latitude and longitude?

Gotcha and you are likely right. If you want to test…. Put thermostat in Auto mode. Set a cool and heat setpoint 3 degrees apart. Set thermostat to Cool mode. Move the cool set point 1 degree from the last heat point while stat was in auto mode. Now set stat in auto mode from AC and see what you get. I believe on my Venstar colortouch it originally would not make the switch to Auto mode and in a later version of its firmware started showing what you described or could have been the opposite.

Thermostats usually have a dead band between heat and cool set points. Don’t have nest but I’m guessing they have to them. If so… Your current heat cool on thermostat at button press are conflicting with the program set points. In essence the thermostat is ignoring the conflicting points. You can test it by setting thermostat to values that will not cause a conflict. As I recall, usually caused when switching Modes from heat/cool and auto. I wrote programs to deal with the issue on Venstar Colortouch if you’re interested after confirming it’s the issue.

I’ve done this with 3 ceiling fans and like it. Have Insteon wall switches to control fan and light via mixed device scenes. Only issue is the NS needs a second or two between controlling light and fan from the wall switches or it will miss the second command.

Sounds like it may not have done the replace. What do you mean by power supply cable for new PLM? 2413s only has a serial data cable and plugs into a AC outlet. For serial data cable, did you pull new one from box or use one that was with old PLM? Also, a few people have accidentally purchased 2413u instead of 2413s as it comes first on Insteon.com. Also you say ISY didn’t recognize old PLM and symptoms you describe indicates ISY doesn’t recognize new one so could be the ISY.

Install purchased version in same slot as trial version.

The buttons should be in respective scenes as controllers.

In addition, you need to add the new keypad too. Then you can select the old keypad now out of a folder and replace it with the new keypad.

Hi. Just saw this and installed the beta. I’m just using switches but I’ll test that portion a bit.

I believe you need to set a variable (including init value for persistence) when enabling or disabling a program then check that variable. Alternatively you could set that variable and have it in the if of program you would be enabling and disabling.

@Jimbo.Automates , thanks!

Can you turn on the device “Irrigation / Irrigration-1 - Z1 Front Lawn” from device tree in the AC and confirm it actually turns on in the yard?

As I recall, You’ll need to create another variable and keep its value and init to value in sync your variables init to value.

A reinstall of node server fixed the issue back in May.

Works great. Thanks. I’ve usually got a background project for cold winter days to clean stuff up so I’ll add this to list to look for. I’m curious what happens if someone creates an infinite loop. Does it run until reboot or is eISY looking for it?

The If is evaluated false during that 3 minute wait.

Thanks. I missed Repeat While being released in V5 FW likely because I didn't move over quickly. I looked Repeat While up the cookbook and it appears there is no construct like brackets to say what is included in the repeated loop. From your example the work around is to include another Repeat 1 times that ends the loop. In my case, if the repeat will be inline with additional statements before and after loop, then having the Repat 1 times will just execute those after normally -- correct? difference = 0 difference += some value difference -= another value Repeat while difference <0 Difference *= -1 Repeat 1 times Run Program 'some program' If Run Program 'another program' If I'll try it out this evening but thanks for bringing to my attention!

Thanks. XOR and then +1 as negatives are stored as two’s complements is what I recalled but it does require an If to determine if negative. I think what I vaguely remember was some operand in assembly language on a VAX. It was do something and branch if in one instruction. Now that I think about it, it was macro-assembler so it was likely implemented in multiple machine language instructions. At least after the move from CISC to RISC processors. I just created another program so I could determine if negative and multiply by -1.

Is there a way to use the binary variable functions to And, Or, or Xor your way to the absolute value of a variable without using an If to determine if - or + before doing bit manipulation?

If like other Insteon devices, one or more of the capacitors have failed. Does this post help? /topic/29317-load-controller-died-need-parts-and-help/

Done and thanks again!

@sjenkins, followed your instructions and all worked perfectly. Only took 5-10 minutes. We've got On and Off!

Thanks @sjenkins! I'll do update a little later today and no worries on doing fix steps. Really appreciate the nodeserver and want to support it moving forward. Do you know if the update to 3.1.6 be slightly delayed getting to nodeserver store ike regular updates?

Yes. It’s 3.1.6.
