Just to be clear, if you still want control by other switches, and simply an ON/OFF at different times, you don't NEED two separate programs - but as Rand stated, it might be your preference to have two programs. I have the following program control my front door lights: If From Sunset + 20 minutes To 10:00:00PM (same day) Then Set Scene 'FrontDoor' On Else Set Scene 'FrontDoor' Off This simply turns ON my front door lights at 20 minutes after sunset, then turns them back off at 10pm. You can certainly split that up into two programs if you'd like, but I personally chose to do it in 1 program. As Rand stated, if you wanted your front door lights to stay ON - even if someone turned them off by a switch - you could do that as well. To do that, I could change my program to this: If From Sunset + 20 minutes To 10:00:00PM (same day) And Status 'FrontDoorLight' is not On Then Set Scene 'FrontDoor' On Else Set Scene 'FrontDoor' Off In this case, if someone turned my front door lights off, and it was between my FROM/TO times, the ISY would turn them back on. Again, 1 program or 2 is up to you - but your program is fine as-is.

I'm no X10 expert, but I'll answer what I do know. Are X10 communicatiosn reliable in your home now? - AccessPoints will not help you at all - they do not repeat X10 signals - couplers are typically required with X10 and Insteon - do you have one now?

Yes, simply ignore any entries marked as 'ignore'.

Could be, you may want to try a different NTP server.

Yes - the ELSE is required to turn fountain OFF when the IF statement is no longer true (after 6:30pm). I'll let Michel confirm the RUN AT STARTUP question, but I believe if your ISY went down for some reason at, say, 3pm and did not boot back up until 5pm your Fountain would stay off UNLESS you enabled RUN AT STARTUP since it missed it's 4pm startup time.

I just setup the following program last night and it ran fine this AM: If Time is Sunrise - 1 hour Then Set Scene 'OfficeCounter' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') So, your program should run fine as well. As a test, try only turning one of the scenes off.

... for the rest of us!

SmartHome sells some color change kits that definitely mute the light output, but in my opinion the available colors are a bit "cheesey". They do have a frosted kit available, however, that isn't bad. Check it out here: http://www.smarthome.com/2400LF/LED-Col ... ted/p.aspx I tried one and personally thought it dimmed the LEDs too much, but maybe it would be perfect for you.

Very strange, but I'm glad to hear!

I would remove the RemoteLinc from the ISY, factory reset it, and re-add it back in. Are you getting any particular errors?

Please be sure to put the RemoteLinc into programming mode any time you add/remove it to and from scenes.

Please check out our Wiki article here: http://www.universal-devices.com/mwiki/ ... o_Your_ISY This site offers good instructions on configuring different routers: http://www.portforward.com/ If you can't figure it out you may want to submit a trouble ticket and someone can schedule a time to help you out.

Is it possible that the port forward setup in your router has been disabeld somehow? Have you logged into your router to check if it is still there?

I don't use an ELSE statement in my version, but in Rand's version - yes, I would if necessary.

I concur. On some of my larger scenes I need a WAIT as well. Try between 1 and 4 seconds, choose the shortest WAIT that works reliably for you.

Actually, you leave the scene exactly as-is. The program exists only to "correct" the status of the KPL for you. Rand's program would work fine, but personally I'd do this: If Status 'KPL Button 4 Device' is not Off And ( Status 'Living Room East Wall' is not On Or Status 'Living Room South Wall' is not 40% Or Status 'Living Room Track Lights' is not 40% ) Then Set Scene 'KPL Button 4' Off

Is it possible you have a new public IP address? From a PC within your LAN, go to the following site: http://www.whatismyipaddress.com Compare the address to the URL you are using to access your ISY. If they are the same, you might try rebooting your router.

An address prefixed by HTTP:// implies port 80 unless otherwise specified. HTTPS:// implies port 443. If you have 2 devices on your LAN you want to access via HTTPS, you would either need: - 2 public IP addresses and a router that supports it - assign the devices unique ports If you have a device that's accessible from one network but not another (3G vs Edge), I would assume either one of the networks is blocking your traffic for some reason or you are experiencing some sort of latency/timeout issue on one of the networks. By defining a custom port for your webcams, you're adding a bit of security because a hacker might not be looking for an open port 551 (for example), but if they see an open port 80 they'll know it's some sort of web server. Regarding hacking techniques, I'm sure I'm not up on the latest and greatest but there are port scanners that will automatically scan ranges of IP addresses and try EVERY port, listing the open ones. Much easier than manually guessing IPs and port #s. That being said, does a hacker care about the webcam pointing in your backyard or even at your child's crib? Probably not, but you never know.

Thanks Brian!

I'm not aware of a way to make it disappear, other than making the window too small. Does it appear if you maximize the window?

Open up My Network Places and on the left side of the window click on "Show icons for networked UPnP devices".

NTP servers are time clock servers that are available for PCs, servers, and other devices for syncing to ensure extremely accurate time. Check that box and force a sync and I think you'll find that the time is very accurate. Your PC might already be syncing with an NTP server.

Hmm, I'm not sure then. Any reason why you don't simply sync daily with an NTP server?

Do you have the ISY setup to synchronize with an NTP server? If so, your PC's clock is probably off and your ISY goes out of sync with it when it syncs with your NTP server.

No, not at this time.
