I've got one of the IOLinc combinations with the Temperature sensors. I've configured it to let me know if attic temp gets low since we have fire sprinkler system and contractor did not insulate pipes well enough for recent low temps -- several neighbors have had burst pipes. At this point, I manually raise the heat setpoint setting for upstairs HVAC unit (keeps attic about 36 degrees) but will eventually make that part of program. (will add insulation when a licensed sprinkler contractor has time) Problem is I never seem to get beyond the fact that once ISY programs start that they will terminate based events impacting their If section. In this case, the temperature sensor bounces back and forth as it reaches trigger point so lots of text messages are generated which lead me to the following that I know will not work. Of course, at first bounce it re-evaluates and the program stays disabled forever. I know what is needed and is represented in program below but how do I do this with ISY logic. Certain it means creating multiple programs but too cold to reason it out today. Help BTW there is an almost identical program for the temperature rising above freeze point. If Control 'Attic / Attic:Temperature Sensor' is switched On Then Send Notification to 'JPaulText' content 'Attic Temperature Below Freeze Warning' Disable Program 'Attic:Temperature Below Freeze Warning' Wait 30 minutes Enable Program 'Attic:Temperature Below Freeze Warning' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I was on vacation several weeks ago attempting to connect to home router and Chrome did not like my self-signed certificate (on router not ISY). I want to move forward with an SSL certificate for the CISCO router and thought I'd consider getting one to be utilized with ISY. This is an area where I have very little knowledge. Please provide advice on all aspects of what and from whom I should purchase.

Not to high jack thread but .... How are you interfacing with HD rf remote? I built a kit that closes a relay upon receipt of IR code. I've considered using insteon controlled relays but this gets very expensive and needs lots of space to control 12 relays.

I just replaced a defective Keypadlinc that was linked to 4 lamplincs, overhead light, remotelinc, and associated scenes. All I can say is thank you Michel and UDI team for support and giving us the ISY!

Got an email from smarthome with devices from following link mentioned -- they mention ISY. Anyone planning to try them? I'm interested in the temperature sensor. http://www.smarthome.com/69532/Cao-Gadg ... ler/p.aspx http://www.smarthome.com/69531/Cao-Gadg ... Tag/p.aspx

Thanks. That's what I thought but wanted expert opinion.

Lee, thanks for module. I will order it. To be clear, My underlying question is do you think many av devices could randomly generate insteon traffic?

My media room has all AV devices for house that are rack mounted and routed via cat 6 to other rooms. A Mid Atlantic power strip provides power for all of devices and the strip is plugged into a noise filter. Right next to it is the ISY (routed IR is attached to it from AV Rack) with about a 15 ft cat6 cable to PLM (get if away from RF interference) PLM is plugged into an extension cord that is plugged into separate outlet right next to power strip noise filter. The two outlets are supposed to be on separate breakers but I've never tested. The outlet that power strip is plugged in is shared circuit between other AV locactions in house to reduce likelihood of ground loops -- but I digress. The HDMI matrix switcher sometimes needs full power cycle to get all back in sync (EDID issues) but it is plugged into MA power strip and so insteon path is blocked. I've been waiting for an appliancelinc with RF so I could plug it into power strip on noisy side of noise filer. Since the Dual band applianclinc has never arrived, I am considering using appliancelinc and accesspoint to create my own. First, would/could this cause trouble by generating phantom RF insteon traffic based on what it might hear from all those devices? Secondly, thoughts on other methods to accomplish this?

Looking at thermostat screen is how I arrived at the phantom and bad set point naming scheme. Phantom is in log, corrected by query, but not displayed on thermostat. Bad are in log, not corrected by query, and is displayed on thermostat.

Michel: I replaced thermostat adapters with Rev 2.5 (firmware v.95) and the issue still occurs. From the original posting and what I've seen recently, it appears the adapter may be corrupting the setpoints when it receives a command to change mode from ISY. Originally it was setting thermostat mode and this time we've added fan mode. In following log, the repeats that are 10 seconds apart of setting fan mode existed as insurance but I've removed them. Thanks, Paul

I assumed it worked so we are done.

I'm replacing 3 thermostat adapters. As I remember, it is best to turn thermostat to off mode and link using the new insteon device, key in address, and auto discovery of type. What I don't rememberer is does replace device work well with thermostat adapters? Thanks

It just worked. Go figure.

Michel: I was luck and never purchased any of the SignalLincs. I've tried distances from 6 inches to 20 feet. Yes, accesspoints show activity with remotelinc. In fact, even after mutiple factory resets the all lights on and off buttons still control lights in that room but the individual buttons do not work. As I mentioned, this particular RL has always been tempermental but within 10 minutes I could get it to communicate. It is more like that even though I press and hold buttons until it blinks to say in linking mode -- it is not in linking mode. I'll just buy replacement if I can find one. My wife hates the RemoteLinc2 and I was not impressed either. Thanks, Paul

Lee. Yes I'm using dim& bright and have Replaced batteries.

I have a Remotelinc that is 3 to 4 years old and has always been very temperamental about going into linking mode so I can program it. I've always just tried a several times and it would eventually work. But tonight after replacing PLM, I can't get the d%^& thing to talk to ISY. Are there any tricks others have discovered? I placed it near an access point that just flawlessly updated two other Remotelincs.

medicmjc, it worked like a charm! The ISY product, support, customer service, ongoing updates, and UD in general are the very best. User community is very knowledgable and always ready with quick help -- doesn't get any better. Thanks

I just completed PLM replace and the only device refusing to be updated is a morninglinc v.3A. When it refused to restore initally and after several attempts to write update, I did factory reset on MorningLinc (held set button 10 seconds while and after plugging in) and then selected Restore Device. May have made things worse since in thinking about it I'm guessing the original PLM link replacement "commands" are still in queue to be written. What should I do now?

Www.lightdims.com are great!

Thanks.

I was having an issue (did not work) with a scene that was controlled by RemoteLinc. I removed the RemoteLinc button from the scene. Next I reset RemoteLinc to factory defaults and then restored it (ISY Restore Device). Before I put it back in scene I wanted to confirm -- is following normal for On button press of an unlinked button on RemoteLinc?

Random. Has happened twice in last week and a half.

Per original posts at start of thread, the issue still exists with 3.3.10 -- maybe I'll still get to swap thermostat adapters again . I don't have detailed logs but still have program running that looks for the condition. Log entries below: Master Suite / Master Bedroom:Thermostat Heat Setpoint 168â–‘ Thu 2013/03/07 11:13:21 AM System Log Master Suite / Master Bedroom:Thermostat Status Queryâ–‘ Thu 2013/03/07 11:13:21 AM Program Log Master Suite / Master Bedroom:Thermostat Heat Setpoint 40â–‘ Thu 2013/03/07 11:13:25 AM System Log Master Suite / Master Bedroom:Thermostat Status Queryâ–‘ Thu 2013/03/07 11:13:26 AM Program Log What can I provide so we can find the issue?

I have a Honeywell whole house humidifier that is part of a two zone HVAC system. The humidifier is controlled by a Vanstar thermostat with humidity control option. It signals the humidifier and turns on the HVAC fan as required for Zone 1. In order to have fan in zone 2 be "on" (damper open to both zones), I installed a relay hooked to an IOLinc that detects when the humidifer is called for so IOLinc sends singal to ISY program that sets fan to "ON" or "Auto" on zone 2s thermostat. Is that clear as mud? The issue I noticed is that as the humidity nears the set point the humidifier cycles off and on in 3 or 4 minutes cycles and hence so does the HVAC fan. So to prevent short cycling, I changed the simple program that controls the fan to include a 20 minute wait before it sets Fan Mode to "Auto". Thoughts or suggestions? Thanks If Status 'Crawl Space / Crawl Space:Humidifier Sensor' is On Then Set 'Master Suite / Master Bedroom:Thermostat' Fan On Else Wait 20 minutes Set 'Master Suite / Master Bedroom:Thermostat' Fan Auto

Thanks. I checked PLM count few weeks ago and many links left so I just did a restore device for each switch and it fixed problem. Do we know why device links go missing and/or corrupted?
