I recall seeing a topic about getting climate value as in rain today into a variable. The method used the rest interface to loopback ip address 127.0.0.1 and a port (can' t remember it). Can't locate post now and think it may have even been in the wiki. Did I dream this? Don't want to waste bunch of time it others know this is not possible. Oh, I'm using 4.7.3 making my way to 5.0.1x. but want to do this now if possible.

The experts will need to confirm but I recall having issues with KPL buttons controlling the load in that same switch. I’ll look but I think I created a work around. Does the Chill scene work?

So for the All scene, all three A buttons are set as controllers for the scene?

6 or 8 button KPL? My real question is does A button control the load for that switch and act as controller for All scene? 8 button KPL Or does A control only the All scene which includes the on button for that switch. 6 button KPL.

Thanks.

Thanks. Not gonna much more time on it but what other components would you look at? Since it does exact same behavior before and after recap (plug in and short pulse at the led but no communications) I’m going to rule out damaged trace.

[mention=2200]Brian H[/mention] I’ve still got 4 from original install. Must have been bought at different times. V1.2 and V1.4 have larger standard looking transformer with a daughter board on top and they work fine. Put off a little heat as expected. 2 x V2.B both were dead so I recapped 5 positions on each. Completely different design with no transformer so Switching power supply right? Caps revived both. Did the tap work to make sure they saw each other and they did. Gonna likely buy 4 on off modules during next SH sale and get rid of them. Fixing them just gave me an electronic tinkering fix since I’ve got an ioLinc I can’t coax back to life. House full of dual band lamplincs and switches installed as replacements when the original wireline only versions failed so the APs probably not needed. Again, just needed to fix something. Lol

[mention=2200]Brian H[/mention] There is 5v on terminal and 21vdc across c7.

@Brian HI just recapped a v2.2 iolinc and it is still dead so something else at fault. When plugging it in the led flashes very briefly but goes off and stays off and it does not respond to any requests. There appears to be a very small transformer. Do you think it is the likely problem? I'm just throwing it in box with bad stuff in case a part from / reviewing it can of benefit in the future.

I’m certain this has been answered but keyword search finds so much... Getting PLM link count from PLM is problematic because it requires complete silence or index gets reset and repeated counts never agree on large busy installation. ISY must know all links since it is used to restore a replaced PLM. Is there a place to get the count from ISY database? Thanks

Put all devices in a scene as controllers.

Thanks. I’m new to electronic design. Is it possible they changed other components in conjunction with v2.3 update to C7. Also, Do you think I could just use a 10uf 400v if I can get it to fit?

@brian h Thanks for great information. I am looking at a version 1.2 unit. Got it apart and the existing capacitors removed. Few questions: 1. Are the replacement part numbers for someone like Mouser listed in the PLM thread? As I recall the replacement parts are significantly upgraded in specifications, ratings, and quality from originals. 2. Is the red compound on mains connections a version of lock tite or does it have electrical significance such as connection of different metals? 3. Was quality of assembly bad? Looks like flux or something similar is smeared all over board show in image. 4. You mentioned v1.0 had small filter capacitor on it. What was its number? Do I need to replace it? Images follow:

Iolinc is power line only so what is disc glued to front inside? Will post photo if needed. Just curious since I was considering a repair.

Does the PLM Links Table Diagnostic return a valid set of links and count (v4.5.4)? It appears that almost every time I run it I get a different count.

Thanks for post Paul and Unread on TapaTalk is great way to catch up on new capabilities

I am interested -- sent PM.

I found issue and a fix. I had fine tuned spoken names through ISY portal. It appears all old names including overlapping names were stored in Alexa. Therefore I had to login to Alexa via Amazon and remove individual grayed out (offline) or remove all devices and rerun discovery.

Paul, I am on central time.

I started echo integration small with 6 devices in my great room. They have names like great floor lamp and great overhead. This worked well for few weeks. Now when I use these names I get "I found more than one device with the name ....." for all 6 devices. I've discovered devices again and it finds 6 as expected. Suggestions?

I got same message about 3:00 am. Is it coincidence that is same time as nightly query all?

I handled the power failure issue by having a program that ran at start up to set each tstat to proper mode based on saved init value of a variable. I never saw them jump in between modes so I'd have program for each tstat with an instant alert via text (no mode setting only notify) so you can get visual confirmation.

When using ISY portal, can you configure lighting controller in Moblinc to still use auto setting so local wifi using http is preferred at home to keep great in home performance. EDIT after more thought. I don't think I'll need to use ISY portal for Moblinc --correct?

Writing the update should be all that is required. The pending updates are to update device for new PLM.
