  1. I have lots of scenes that I trigger from switches like that, and I haven't had to add any waits. Is "Family Room Light" a controller of a fairly large scene by chance? If so, maybe there's a considerable amount of traffic going on that's drowning out your scene command. But if it's a standalone switch, or maybe a controller in a 2 or 3 switch scene, I'm surprised you're having that issue.
  2. That's my understanding as well.

    4-way switch

    Did you add all the devices to the scene as 'Controllers'? It sounds like the load bearing switch is only a 'Responder' to the scene.
  4. Check this article to locate your ISY's MAC address: http://www.universal-devices.com/mwiki/ ... d/Password
  5. No problem! Glad it helped someone. My Thermostat Adapter has been running very reliably in my office. I'm seriously considering installing them throughout my home, but really would prefer a model that: - was one-piece - broadcasted status changes, so I wouldn't have to poll Other than those limitations, I've been happy. Thanks for that info. I don't pay much attention to the humidity functions yet - maybe I should.
  6. IMO I'd like to see something that would pause/temporarily disable all programs within any folder of your choice. This would be more flexible - you could use this function on the "My Programs" folder to disable every program, or use the function on any other folder within your hierarchy if you want a quick way to pause a subset of your programs. Maybe right-click a folder and check off a "PAUSE" option or something similar. I would imagine the folder icon would have an X through it or something similar. But, as stated in the post above, I think it's important that the function does not go and manually disable each program - it should be able to easily revert programs back to their previous states. I think Michel's suggestion is a perfect workaround for now.

    Did you add the RemoteLinc to the ISY, and create the links to your devices through the ISY? Or did you link the RemoteLinc to your devices manually using the TAP method? For the ISY to be aware of things, you need to be sure you create your links through the ISY. It's also a faster way to do it, especially as your scenes get more complex.
  8. Unless I'm missing something, I think this is easier than you might think. If you check for a condition, then wait 2 minutes, the program will automatically become false if that condition is no longer true during that 2 minute wait. I do something similar with my office thermostat: If Status 'OfficeThermostat' is Mode Cool And Program 'Office Work Hours' is False And Program 'Office Light Status' is False And Status 'OfficeThermostat' < 85° (Setpoint) Then Wait 2 minutes Set 'OfficeThermostat' 85° (Cool Setpoint) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Once my IF conditions all become true, the THEN portion of my program runs. During that 2 minute wait, if any of my IF conditions become false, the program aborts and my 2nd THEN statement never runs.
  9. Correct... a 'controller' is actually a 'controller/responder'. A 'responder' is only a 'responder'. Glad you got it working!
  10. Any reason you don't setup the SwitchLinc Relay as a controller?
  11. The 'query all' program is simply a program that queries the scene 'my lighting' (which contains all your devices) every night at 3am. You can recreate it yourself, like this: If Time is 3:00:00AM Then Set Scene 'My Lighting' Query Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
  12. Michel - Latest I have here is a SwitchLinc Relay labeled v2.5. ISY shows it as firmware v.2C. I tried adding it both via "Start Linking" and manually by address, and both methods bring it in correctly as a SwitchLinc Relay. Running ISY firmware v2.6.6. I also have some slightly older SwitchLinc Relays labeled v2.2 that the ISY show as firmware v.28, and those seem fine. Anyone else with a newer SwitchLinc Relay to test?
  13. Hey Michel - That's what I thought too, but after reading this post I double-checked, and this page shows the Icon Dimmer as NOT having an adjustable ramp rate: http://www.smarthome.com/2876db.html Is that page incorrect, or is this maybe something new?
  14. Actually, it's simpler than that. All that the ISY's "enable internet access" does is automatically create port forwards for you in your router, assuming your router supports UPnP. Since IPCOP doesn't support UPnP, you simply have to create a rule on IPCOP to forward port 443 (HTTPS) to your ISY's IP address (which you should make static). If you want/need HTTP access to the ISY as well, you would also forward port 80 - but be aware that HTTP is not encrypted. Once you create the rules in IPCOP, there's nothing further you have to do on the ISY. You don't need to use the "enable internet access" function. You should be able to leave it at those ports, unless you're already forwarding them to somewhere else on your LAN. I was running IPCOP for the longest time here, but don't currently have it running anywhere - so I can't help you with the details, sorry. If you haven't already, check out this forum: http://www.ipcops.com/phpbb3/ The guys there should be able to walk you through creating the needed rules if you're having issues.
  15. I can confirm, unless something has changed in the past 6 months IPCOP doesn't support UPnP. You'll have to create a forward manually.
  16. aanthony - If you had the ISY configured for a fixed IP address, consider changing your PC's IP address temporarily in order to telnet to the ISY. Go into your network properties, and change your PC's IP address to 192.168.0.99 or something similar. Then telnet in and change the ISY. Then change your PC back to a dynamic IP. Good luck!
  17. I don't believe features of the newer KPLs are supported in this release. Please let Darrell or Michel confirm, but I think you'll need to upgrade to the beta firmware.
  18. Sounds like your router might be turning off the UPNP forward to the ISY. You might want to manually create a port forward in your router instead.
  19. I believe a v.2C KPL (as shown in the ISY) is v1.65.
  20. We are happy to announce the availability of version 1.2.1 BETA of our NK8 and NK8-PC software, which is compatible with this firmware release. For more information, please check out our thread here: http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=1458
  21. Time looks OK here in EST.
  22. This seems to be fixed in v2.6.6.
  23. As far as the ISY goes, only the SwitchLincs, OutletLincs, and LampLincs should be listed as members of the scene in the ISY. I have experienced odd RemoteLinc flashing issues in the past that I ended up attributing to a newer KPL I had installed. However, I no longer needed a RemoteLinc in that room and was never able to pinpoint the issue 100%. You might want to completely delete the scenes and RemoteLinc from the ISY, re-add it, recreate the scene, and add devices back in 1 at a time to see if you can narrow down what seems to cause the issue.
  24. Typically flashing after a command is sent indicates that one or more devices did not respond to the command. I'm not aware of anything that defines specific errors based on # of flashes. One question for you - are any of the members of these scenes KeypadLincs? If so, what firmware version are they? Thanks
