Strings/Characters in ISY
Mecheng70 replied to IT Solutions's topic in New user? Having trouble? Start here
I use pushover and format the string based on if the state variable is 1 or 0. This requires two network resources (one for each state). Then the program will call the network resource based on the IF statement. IF sVar == 1 AND sVar != 0 Then network resource: person.home Else network resource: person.away Since you are using email, I am not sure how this would work. I would assume that it is similar in nature. -
Programming for a Zwave door lock (and using Alexa?)
Mecheng70 replied to ctviggen1's topic in Z-Wave - Series 300/500
In my last house, I had 4 door locks. The basement door would always be left unlocked. What I did in this case was create a state variable (that I could toggle) that was called sGuest. When sGuest = 0 (false), there were several items that all had to be true to run a timer. When sGuest = 1, it did not run the program. If sGuest = 0 AND lock.basement = false AND door.basement.open = false Then wait (# of minutes) lock.basement = true -

Zwave Failing to Add - Inovelli Switch
Mecheng70 replied to asperber's topic in Z-Wave - Series 300/500
I'll chime in. I have 5 black and 2 red inovelli and no issues. Currently no issues running 5.3.0 and have the admin console also updated. Have the external zwave. Also managed this under mac and linux, with no issues. Haven't upgraded any inovelli firmware. -
Do you have an extra / after the 80?
-
do you have any firewall or anti-virus programs?
-
Interesting, didn't realize that. Node limited and not device limited.

You can group them if you want. They will become children of the _1 device. The other thing that I do is put a "~" in front of the name and move them to a "~Junk" folder

I have used the kwikset 910 series without issues. Previous house had 3, current house has 4.

I use rest commands to program the door locks. It is as simple as clicking on a URL and it programs the ISY. Lately I have been using homeassistant to interface with the ISY to change user codes. There are several ways of doing this.

Trouble finding IP address for isy994i
Mecheng70 replied to LMcGrath's topic in New user? Having trouble? Start here
Can you see the IP address on your router? -
One issue that you may have is that if the mailbox is metal, the zwave signal may not be strong enough.

can you install a hinged flap with the device mounted to it? when the mail hits it it then alerts. Could buy a cheap hinge and VHB it to the top near the opening so that the mail would "hit" it?

What is easiest way to swap out a Z-Wave switch?
Mecheng70 replied to mikek's topic in Z-Wave - Series 300/500
I have tried the replace menu command but it would never find the new device. Maybe in 5.3 it is fixed? -
Best way to connect with ISY on MacOS
Mecheng70 replied to to_lighter's topic in New user? Having trouble? Start here
Yes. Now you can check the error and event logs from the portal. Other than that it has its limit. What firmware do you have? Have you looked at the wiki for connecting from a MACos?
