  1. That sounds very similar to what I saw. If your keypads backlight for the buttons is too short and they go asleep, the command has no impact.
  2. Turns out my Node server was in a weird mode but still sending sending heartbeat but variables were not changing. I restarted it and it now makes more sense by observation. Making sure I understand…. Current US gallons is a flow rate. To do what I want, it appears I’d store Today gallons at start in a variable and Today gallons at finish in another variable and use them to calculate difference which would be gallons used to water lawn. I’d think Today gallons is reset at midnight local time. I looked at flume cloud setup and didn’t see time zone field but it gathers address which I think could be used to derive time zone. Does this feel like right approach and is time zone assumption right? I’ll chat with Flume on Monday to get their response.
  3. Thanks and sorry my post interrupted your vacation. I had been visiting and having lunch with family and then posted on phone when leaving and then again when we got home. The way I use it is I have DSC touch screen keypad in bedroom so I touch Arm Stay and It obeys the exit/entrance delay. Once delay is finished the panel enters Arm Stay mode. ISY program detects that stay state for the partition and then sends the Zero entry (32) command. At that point, there is a short beep. Funny thing is I had to make sure the Keypad backlight off function is longer than the exit delay or the command is not processed. It took a little while after switching to touch screen keypads to figure that out. I too recall the instant arm on button based keypads. Thanks again and have a wonderful day.
  4. For more background.. Long ago, I wrote programs on homeseer to interface to the IT-100. When I moved to ISY and Insteon, I adopted DSClink and eventually moved it NodeLink. I worked with io-guy to add it as a command DSC link and he migrated it to NodeLink. I’m evaluating/making plans to migrate to PG3 node servers.
  5. Sorry, hope I’m understanding… It sends the command 32 to the alarm panel via envisalink. There is a beep at keypads. I have a program that detects panel partition state has become armed stay and sends the command.
  6. The command is sent after I press Armed Stay on keypad and the alarm partition state becomes Armed Stay. Once the 32 command is received, the the entry delay is in effect removed. I suppose it could could be used with armed away but that would make it get to get in using keypad since alarm would be instant. You’d always need to disarm via some HA interface.
  7. That looks perfect! I just had not seen "Current US gallons" as a data element on screen captures that had been posted from the Admin Console.
  8. Thanks so much for the Node server and your consideration of request. The command is not supported via the DSC IT-100 protocol but is supported in the Envisalink 3 and 4 protocol. It’s not an instant arm command. As I recall, it is command 32: Partition Arm Control – Zero Entry Delay The TPI will attempt to arm the partition with zero entry delay Command 032 Partition (1-8 ) I arm my system from the bedroom with Arm Stay. When that action is complete, this command is sent which takes away the delayed entry. This means an in the middle of the night break in gets an instant alarm action instead of being delayed by "delayed" seconds. I've highlighted the command in the attached documentation. EnvisaLinkTPI-1-08.pdf
  9. Envisalink 3 and 4 TPI/API have a command to arm stay without delay. Is it supported by the Node server?
  10. Thanks. Don’t have a sophisticated sprinkler controller. I use ISY programs to control ex-flora devices to turn sprinklers on and off so hopefully be able to use Flume to get the water used.
  11. Thanks for the Node server. I water my lawn leading up to sunrise so no other water is used at that time. I’d like to calculate water usage between sprinklers on and sprinklers off. It’s not clear if current variables could do this but from watching them with sink turned on and off it’s not clear to me. If already possible, how? If not, could it be added?
  12. I like this dimmer and it says you can make an Insteon style (scene) 3+ way circuit within switches which I’ve always loved in Insteon dimmers. I’ll read more about that feature and how new IoP fw release may be exposing access to it. I’ve been following aotec for a few years but issue was they never released some devices they announced, always out of stock or couldn’t get them in the US (eg garage door controller). I like their technology but above made me suspect long term viability. Are you a heavy user of their products and comfortable with the company?
  13. Having a default on level is not mysterious as a dimmers on level can be set. How it got set may be a mystery. [emoji3]
  14. I bought some here. Not sure about conversion rate or shipping to Canada. https://ldsdimming.com/collections/led-dimming-stabilizer
  15. Io_guy will help you in detail but you need to run Make sure you ran the install script as the standard update from gui does not move you to .net 5 Execute http://ISY/rest/ns/1/nodes/n001_ven2/change/Venstar?nls=140V to change the second thermostat. Hi

  17. The whole bunch of writing and can’t find sounds like queued up commands on ISY. Were they successful? First off, I’d open a ticket UDI. Sounds like plm, ISY and maybe the Insteon devices are not in sync. I don’t think the restore plm was successful. Did you watch the event viewer? Other than the huge queue it trying to write. My thought would be to factory reset the plm and then restore plm again to at least get ISY and plm in sync but some of that sriting could be to the devices where it replaces the plm address in them. Do you have an ISY backup just before you started this process? … Contact UDI.
  18. I couldn’t think what MCU stood for but thought it was most logical choice and I was too lazy to look it up. Lol, so installed all. Of course knowing I could uninstall and be more diligent next time. It worked perfect on FW upgrade and took less than minute.
  19. In the install step, I had to install all before ZWave PC Controller showed up under tools. It is setting a driver that views the Zooz USBstick as a Com: port. If your PC already has real Com: ports or USB to Com convertor ports, could there be a conflict?
  20. Did you follow step exactly in article?
  21. It’s Verizon. They changed their service level agreement for using @vext.com. Search for it on Google.
  22. I hope you’ve got a good backup. If so reset the ISY and then follow steps including clearing Java cache to install 4.9. Should be able to restore good backup with minimal rebuilding.
  23. I’ve got some caps I can sell you.
