  1. As long as they are state variables like you named and indicated it will trigger on a change to either variable. Off the point and not a suggestion, I learned to program years ago so it’s funny to me seeing the short variable names. Mine would be named Indoor_Air_Quality_State.
  2. I have monitoring with Envisalarm and a sidekick. Great experiences in last 6-9 months. Very easy cutover and they do job just like any other UL Monitoring service. Price is great if you want professional monitoring which reduces insurance rates.
  3. I see that you fixed it issue. I utilize Insteon scenes and the protocol keeps them in sync almost instantly if you have good comms. This is especially true if all devices are dual band. Were you getting cases where remote device did not set keypad button light that were in a scene together or you don’t use scenes with keypad button and remote device are in a scene together?
  4. Two main issues with Insteon devices. There is a general lack of stock on all devices and it’s unclear (at least to me) if it’s related to supply chain issues or that Smartlabs is moving away from them to a new line in partnership with Nokia. Smartlabs very possibly will/ has discontinue(d) the 2413S due to lack of demand. From what I’ve researched, ISY users are about the only group still dependent on it and primarily due to failures not new installs. Other platforms supported both the serial and usb version or only the usb version. Twelve years ago when I started using Insteon, every PC had built in serial ports but no motherboard I’ve seen has had them in years. The ISY on Polisy supports both serial and usb. I’m looking to either find another reasonable protocol if Insteon ends. I like the look and reliability of Lutron so new RA3 is in my sights. It may depend on if a nodeserver can be developed for it or it gets native support on Polisy. I’ve got lots of Insteon spares so time for it or another better option to arise. In my opinion,for the long term, it has to go from a diy/luxury install to something builders install on a regular basis. I have not had any success with Z-Wave except 2 Schlage deadbolts and it required 5 repeaters to get them reliable. Tried to move to 500 series and spent two full days before moving back to 300 series. However others have great success with it. From reading here and other places it appears you have to have a dense mesh for success. My house is full of Insteon devices so mixing them is not an option now. I have a 700 series zwave usb stick for polisy and will try again with it.
  5. PLM is basically two PCBs. The main PCB has a switching power supply with both undersized and cheap capacitors and appears to be identical between 2413S and 2413U PLMS. The other PCB is either a serial daughter board or USB daughter board. The main PCB is typical failure point and can be repaired by replacing the power supply capacitors or pulling the serial daughter board on the 2413S and putting it in a 2413U. There may be a few other devices that share the same main board as in the irrigation controller.
  6. If you’re capable of soldering, replacing the caps is a simple and highly effective fix. The hardest part for most is removing the existing ones.
  7. I’ve got a used one from where I replaced it with a dual band version. It’s been in a box in basement since dual band was introduced. Plastic case has yellowed bad. If you’re interested, I’ll attempt to link and confirm it still works.
  8. I’ve read about doing this on many occasions. What revisions are the PLMs. The couple PLMs and 7 access points I’ve repaired had room to install the large capacitor straight up but it did not leave room for one screw in that corner to be reinstalled holding the PCB in casing.
  9. You need to read link before commenting. The device pings an outside IP address and when there is no response it power cycles the devices.
  10. See if this article helps you for the future. https://www.homecamcafe.com/remotely-reboot-a-modem-or-router/ The more sophisticated device has been replaced with following. https://www.amazon.com/MSNSwitch-Internet-Enabled-Remote-Switch/dp/B081TKJJBS
  11. Go to this topic and find header for Install. The first download link is what I think you’re looking for. Follow instructions from there on and since new no pesky upgrade needed. /topic/33287-release-534-test-build-is-now-available/
  12. No big deal since all new. Just download correct firmware and load it. Are you going to go with latest 5.3.4?
  13. I’ve used DSC 1864 panel through NodeLink or DSCLink before it for 9 or 10 years — excellent integration.
  14. Thank you.
  15. I purchased a couple weeks ago and I am in 30 day trial period on subscription.
  16. Thanks for great explanation!
  17. It may be here somewhere but I can’t find it. What is architecturally different between PG2 and PG3 nodeservers? My old guess was that if ISY and Polygot are both on Polisy, node updates would be direct inside the box instead of via network. However, it sounds like standalone ISY can talk to PG3.
  18. What’s running only at that time of year? Irrigation for example?
  19. I’m very interested in your Flume solution. Would you be willing to share programs you used from the two nodeservers.
  20. I received a serial plm v2.6 and remotelinc 8 scene 5 pack about 5 days after placing order from prior sale.
  21. Is this not it and in stock? H
  22. Is this not the plus version? Zooz 700 Series Z-Wave Plus S2 USB Stick ZST10 700 That’s what Michel linked.
  23. Thanks, that’s what I thought but I never purposely clear it except for ISY FW upgrades. Ill look over settings to see if some sort of auto clear setting.
  24. Where are they stored? Mine get overwritten or deleted regularly.
