I agree, and the more advanced users in their beta program the better.

If you haven't, I would factory reset both devices and then do a restore device on both. If that does not work, I would remove them from the ISY, factory reset them, then add them back in and re-join them to scenes/programs as needed.

I remember those days too. Like 4 years ago.

Oh, OK. I thought you were as lame as me. I think I fell asleep at like 9:30pm. 3 kids will do that to you I guess.

Not sure if they're still looking for testers, but consider posting here: http://www.techmall.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2358

Not yet, but it is reportedly planned for a future firmware release.

Are you saying you weren't up to witness it??

If there are firmware issues stopping the correct operation of a device, I'm certain Smarthome will replace them under warranty. In my experience they've always been excellent to deal with.

Works OK here on my Treo 750 running Windows Mobile 6, running ISY firmware 2.6.13.

Damn it's humid in here.

Please post back what you find. I haven't seen anyone discussing it before.

My Thermostat Adapter is currently reporting 79 for humidity, while a separate thermostat thingie I have fairly close to the Thermostat Adapter is reporting 24%. So, I'd say something isn't right... Is the humidity sensor built into the Venstart thermostat? I can't find any mention of it in my unit's manual...

You're right! Thanks for the correction. A KPL primary button would show a slider for its own on level and ramp rate, but a KPL secondary button would not (because it has none).

I do something similar with KPL scene buttons in my home. I have scenes setup with the KPL secondaries as controllers, so pressing the button activates the scene quickly and independently of the ISY. To keep only the active scene KPL secondary button lit I use a series of ISY programs, such as these: THEATER DINNER STATUS If Status 'TheaterControls1E' is not Off And ( Status 'TheaterControls1A-Table' is not 60% Or Status 'TheaterMain1' is not Off Or Status 'TheaterMain2' is not Off ) Then Set Scene 'TheaterDinnerStatus' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') THEATER MOVIE STATUS If Status 'TheaterControls1G' is not Off And ( Status 'TheaterControls1A-Table' is not 30% Or Status 'TheaterMain1' is not 20% Or Status 'TheaterMain2' is not 20% ) Then Set Scene 'TheaterMovieStatus' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') In THEATER DINNER "TheaterControls1E" is the KPL secondary used to activate the scene. "TheaterDinnerStatus" is a scene containing ONLY that KPL secondary button. In THEATER MOVIE "TheaterControls1G" is the KPL secondary used to activate the scene. "TheaterMovieStatus" is a scene containing ONLY that KPL secondary button. So, when I press my THEATER DINNER button the lights come at the pre-set levels instantaneously. If I then press the THEATER MOVIE button the new scene activates and my levels change, then the ISY program kicks in and turns off my THEATER DINNER button. Takes about 1 second. If you have a complex scene containing more than a few devices you might need to put a WAIT command in before the THEN statement to make sure the powerline is clear before the ISY tries to change the KPL secondary status light. To add IR control I simply use the following programs: THEATER DINNER IR If IR '9' is Pressed Then Set Scene 'TheaterDinner' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') THEATER MOVIE IR If IR '203' is Pressed Then Set Scene 'TheaterMovie' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') The scenes "TheaterDinner" and "TheaterMovie" contain not only the KPL secondary button controlling the scene, but also all responders in that scene. After I send an IR command to change my scene, my above listed KPL STATUS programs kick in and make sure only the appropriate KPL secondary scene button is lit.

Yes, sorry I misunderstood your question. When clicking the controller within the scene, you will not see sliders for the controller because pressing the button on the controller will use the device's local on level and ramp rates. When clicking on the scene itself, the slider on the controller would indicate the on level and ramp rate used on that device when the scene is activated from the ISY (through programs or the admin console). Remember that a controller is inherently a responder as well. Like you said, since the device has no load and a KPL doesn't even have a ramping LED bar it doesn't matter to you what the on level and ramp rate are set to. However, if you use a SwitchLinc as a controller or attach a load to that KPL you might care.

In a situation like that (4 responders and 1 controller), you would click ont he scene itself and set on levels and ramp rates for all devices (including the controller) for when the scene is controlled via the ISY itself (say through the Admin Console, or through a program you've written). You'd click on the controller and set the on levels and ramp rates for all devices for when the scene is controlled through that switch (someone walks up and presses that switch). You can have multiple controllers in a scene all with different on levels and ramp rates for all responders, PLUS the scene itself (which is used when the ISY is the controller).

Hey Dougos2 - I have a Thermostat Adapter v.24 here was well, and have once or twice had the current state change to 0 and received an errant notification - but not consistently. I am able to adjust the set point and mode without issue in general. Is this happening every time for you? If you can give me an exact scenario, maybe I can test for it here as well.

This is what I do with my office thermostat: http://forum.universal-devices.com/view ... thermostat

A controller is always a responder.

Shouldn't this program also check to see if the light is "NOT OFF" already in its conditions?

It is. All these smart phones suck as phones. It amazes me how slow and sluggish it is sometimes on my Treo 750 when all I want to do is pick up or make a phone call. Phone calls should be priority #1! Everything else should stop, but it doesn't. It's becoming the norm, however, so people will get used to it. It's not uncommon for me to have to yank my battery and reboot my Treo 750 once every week or 2. Reminds me of one of the things I liked about AmigaOS - the user was #1 priority. When you used the UI, everything else running would take a back seat to the user - the user comes first. Something Microsoft hasn't figured out yet.

Hey Michel - The SwitchLinc Dimmer I was discussing with you early is an older v.27. I still need to troubleshoot further to find the root cause. I'm confident that if I spend a couple hours I can narrow it down.

AD8BC - Could you post the event viewer log from your testing? Specifically, I'm interested in what the Event Viewer shows when it DOES successfully see that your switch was turned on compared to when your ISY DOESN'T recognize that the switch was turned on.

DynDNS is setup on your router (or an always-on PC on your network). This updates DynDNS with your latest IP address. To redirect traffic from your router to your ISY, you need to do one of the following: - Use the Enable Internet Access option on the ISY which uses UPnP to create port forwards on your router. - Manually create a port forward on your router to forward HTTPS (port 443) to your ISY.

I haven't seen any issues with Windows Firewall.
