I created a simple test program to see how Backup Node server works internally to determine if it runs in line or is launched asynchronously so the program would immediately execute the next step. I performed a Run (Then) on the program, and it only ran 1-2 seconds (was green) so the wait obviously did not occur. SecSys:DSC Alarm Test If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'Backup Ligthing State / Save_Restore lighting' Backup Wait 1 minute Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I am trying to determine if a wait is needed after the Backup and if so how long of a wait to allow before turning on the All Lights scene to avoid getting wrong light states. Backup appeared to run asynchronously (based a long or short poll showing in Node server log almost immediately followed about 11 seconds later with a storm of log events naming lots of devices with Node server logging set at debug mode short segment follows with .... used show removed information) but as a side effect it ended program execution since no Wait 1 minute occurred. If that's true and as intended, I will need backup in its own program to be run from another program that has multiple sequential steps and with a wait after it is called to allow it time to complete. Please help me understand the timing and program execution requirements so I don't make wrong assumptions. The Node server says no configuration is needed and I assume that means it knows the ISY that it is running on. How about the long and shortpoll? Do they have a function and if so what? 2022-05-28 10:08:28,756 Command udi_interface.interface DEBUG interface:send: PUBLISHING {'set': [{'key': 'customdata', 'value': {'xx xx xx x': {'name': 'Back Porch:Floods', 'value': 0}, .... }}}]} 2022-05-28 10:08:28,761 Command udi_interface DEBUG backup:query: Found node Yard:Bird Bath Bottom - Heate with type 2.57.68.0 category 2 and status 0 2022-05-28 10:08:28,762 Command udi_interface.custom DEBUG custom:__setitem__: CUSTOM: xx xx xx x = {'name': 'Yard:Bird Bath Bottom - Heate', 'value': 0} ... saving 2022-05-28 10:08:28,763 Command udi_interface.custom INFO custom:_save: Sending data customdata to Polyglot. ... 2022-05-28 10:08:28,786 Command udi_interface INFO backup:query: Query processed 169 devices. 2022-05-28 10:08:28,787 Command udi_interface.interface DEBUG interface:_parseInput: DEQUEING customdata 2022-05-28 10:08:28,790 Command udi_interface.interface DEBUG interface:_parseInput: DEQUEING customdata 2022-05-28 10:08:28,793 Command udi_interface.interface DEBUG interface:_parseInput: DEQUEING customdata 2022-05-28 10:08:28,973 MQTT udi_interface.interface DEBUG interface:_message: QUEUING incoming message customdata 2022-05-28 10:08:28,975 Command udi_interface.interface DEBUG interface:_parseInput: DEQUEING customdata 2022-05-28 10:08:29,012 MQTT udi_interface.interface INFO interface:_message: Successfully set key = customdata 2022-05-28 10:08:29,126 MQTT udi_interface.interface DEBUG interface:_message: QUEUING incoming message customdata 2022-05-28 10:08:29,127 Command udi_interface.interface DEBUG interface:_parseInput: DEQUEING customdata 2022-05-28 10:08:29,164 MQTT udi_interface.interface INFO interface:_message: Successfully set key = customdata 2022-05-28 10:08:29,376 MQTT udi_interface.interface DEBUG interface:_message: QUEUING incoming message customdata ... Thanks

On my pg3 dashboard, it said pg3 needs to be restarted after the iop upgrade.

Thanks. Just making sure it wasn’t something with my specific install. Already felt better that another person had seen the issue and it’s been running fantastic for several days.

I’ve Never updated browser. It was a Java setting.

It’s Verizon. They posted a couple years ago that @vtext.com was going to be significantly cut back or off. It was major source of text spam. I did as someone suggested and installed Spark email app on phone. The email address I assigned to it is only for HA messages. It works well with proper notifications turned on. Yes another app but it’s reliable method.

Thanks I’ve done that. It’s what founds the individual items. It’s just this weird text on admin console button. Otherwise appears to be working.

I deleted Bond PG2 version and added Bond PG3 version. All worked okay except the main screen is missing button text. I'm guessing it's Discover Nodes. I've already deleted Node server and added it back with same results. I don't care unless it hints at some other problem but would like positive confirmation either way on what to do. Thanks

It depend on which thermostat. The early thermostats were a Venstar branded with an Insteon dongle plugged in the bottom and as far as I’m aware it was required. There might have been a wifi dongle but I don’t know. The version in my photo had Insteon built in as it was a Smartlabs branded product.

I migrated to the PG3 Flume water Node server this afternoon. All went well and I’m measuring water used for irrigation described in posts above in this thread. Thanks! The PG2 version I was running did lose authorization based on what I saw in log a few days ago, so for PG3 version I put checks on controller status, authorization status, Hub Node Status and Sensor Node Staus to alert me if either were not True or not in desired state of connected or authorized. The Sensor Node Status just went false after a few hours but by running water in a sink, I can see values are updating correctly and timely. Can you help me understand this node status? EDIT ——. After I wrote this I followed link to GitHub and I understand better but could you still help me fully understand all 4 status codes?

Amazon.com

It’s an external variable with a state of off and on. I use it in UD Mobile to tell which irrigation cycle to run that night. It acts like a switch on and off. You don’t have to set variable value.

I used to go to Java console and set security to allow it to excute Java code in the browser to get the console to down load and execute for the first time. Then I’d turn the setting back off.

Clearing Java cache should have removed all remnants of old so try again and then redownload ISY console or launcher.

Thermostat and 24 VAC wall wort to power it. Thermostat is open. There is a flip cover to hide all but LCD display. I bought wall wort and wired it into thermostat terminals. It’s in unfinished basement on back side of wall — not pretty. Lol

Model with humidity sensor as UD Mobile snip. Images thermostat next post.

Deleted.

Do want temp and humidity inside or outside?

T7900 (3 of them) and I use NodeLink and used Venlink before it. I’m making plans to migrate my PG2 node servers and potentially NodeLink to PG3. Very time constrained now so have to phase it all out.

They are wifi touch screen Venstars.

I just got into the office. I can look at mine later today. Do you have one now or are looking at one on eBay? If you’re looking for a good thermostat, it falls very short. I’d get Venstar with Node server or NodeLink to get data into the ISY.

Yes, you can link to them. Depending on the version of thermostat, it may require you to query it. Newer versions send updates on more regular basis. I use 2 of them to monitor temperature in basement and media server closet.

Perfect! As a temporary solution, I had setup an email notification and was collecting data in an email account so just had to add text to subject for file name and to append. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to add newline. Given it's unix/linux , I assumed it was some combo of \n\r. Turned out to be a simple hitting return in the body of the message. LOL

Not questioning your desire, but I’ve never seen a thermostat that didn’t have a deadband of about 2 degrees or else it would short cycle. Also, saw ones that would under or overshoot set point by a degree and in effect create a 2 degree deadband. What are your expectations on the 1 degree deadband?

994 now but making plans for move to IoP in next few months.

Thanks. That’s my question. Write them with what and to where?
