I have excellent luck with Linksys routers (but avoid their switches). Like I mentioned before, be sure your ISP isn't blocking traffic - a quick phone call to double-check might save a lot of grief. What ISP are you using?

Hey aLf - Did you check with your new ISP to be sure they are not blocking any traffic on their box? If you couldn't get port forwarding working at all, it sounds like that may be the case.

Hi Bud - Yes, they should be part of the backup. It sounds like your new ISY might be in Safe Mode (no PLM detected on bootup). In the Admin Console please click on TOOLS, DIAGNOSTICS, PLM INFO/STATUS and let us know the results. Thanks!

I have seen this with older SwitchLinc Relays. I would contact Smarthome regarding the issue, and see if a fix is available.

Is your router configured as a DHCP server? If it is, please fill out a support ticket here and someone will get back to you: http://www.universal-devices.com/supp_contact.htm

Try rebooting your router then waiting 15 minutes. If the error and mem lights are still flashing, reboot your ISY one more time. Please let us know your results. Thanks!

In case you weren't aware, SENDING ASCII strings is possible using an ethernet > RS-232 adapter (such as the Elk IP232 or Global Cache products). However, the ISY cannot yet trigger based on received strings.

Hi Peter - We are currently working on a PDF version of our documentation, covering all of the basics of installing and using an ISY. We hope to have a first revision complete within a week or so. Please keep an eye on this forum - we'll create a sticky with a link to the documentation here. In the meantime, please feel free to browse our Wiki: http://www.universal-devices.com/mwiki/ ... =Main_Page Thanks

Not sure about the W800 (my understanding is that it is serial only), but the V572A interfaces with an X10 module to put signals on the powerline.

The V572A is powerline, so the PLM would "hear" the X10 signals over the powerline. I would place the V572A fairly close to the PLM to ensure reliable communications. Not currently, but you could use an ISY program as a variable in that manner. I'm not sure if that would help with your Homeseer integration (I've never used Homeseer). I've never used one, but the EZX10RF is a bit different in that it links X10 codes directly to Insteon devices. No need for ISY Programs once it is installed and configured.

I use the W800's cousin, the V572A, in my home for a couple random X10 RF devices.

Sure. I would schedule your program to run at 10pm, then drop in your on/off commands with WAITs in between as needed.

Our hosting company has made some changes on their end that MIGHT help with this issue. Can anyone previously experiencing this issue confirm whether or not there is any improvement? Thanks

Ideally you should all devices to that "Nightlight" scene. You COULD, in the ISY program, have it turn off multiple scenes instead of 1 big scene - but because of your 2nd question, I would create 1 big scene. I would add that button to the scene as a Controller.

Multi-scene mode would send an ON command when the trigger is both opened AND closed (1 to each scene), so I don't think it would help you. What you really need is a normally open sensor, but I'm not sure if there is a water sensor that is normally open.

You might have good luck plugging in a spare AC adapter you might have kicking around.

I wanted to thank everyone who was able to attend the training/demo today. I think it went fairly well, even if I did lose power here and we were in the dark for a minute or 2! We had a great turnout - at least 17 people attended (maybe more). I'm not certain yet if we'll be able to make the recording available. Either way, I'm considering creating a series of videos that would cover the same topics that were discussed today. I'll post more info ASAP. I'd also love to hear suggestions for future online sessions. Thanks again!

Just a reminder that the training starts in less than one hour. Hope to see you there!

Yes - scenes are programmed into the devices themselves, so the ISY is not required for them to function. Programs DO require the ISY to function. HTTPS is port 443 by default (though it can be changed if needed). Yes, our current "Enable Internet Access" uses UPnP to configure compatible routers. You can always create the port forwards manually if you'd prefer.

Our first online training/demo is scheduled for this coming Friday (7/3) at 3pm Eastern, 12pm Pacific. I realize that we can't accomodate everyone with a single time/day, so we will vary our day and time for future trainings/demos. There is a dial-in # available for those who want to connect in via phone (long distance charges apply). Otherwise, chat is on-screen or via microphone. Date: Friday July 3rd, 2009 Time: 3pm Eastern / 12pm Pacific Meeting URL: https://webmeeting.dimdim.com:443/porta ... al_devices Optional Dial-In: 712-432-6139 Dial-In Code: 1234 Hope to see you there!

Yes, I would do something like this: If Time is 4:00:00AM Then Set 'AtticFan' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Just the Insteon. I'm not very familiar with most X10 devices. You could add a bunch at a time then test with on/off commands fron the ISY to see which device is which. I personally keep a spreadsheet of devices, IDs, rev levels, etc. If you factory reset the device, it shouldn't take very long to add back in. Correct, and both devices would be CONTROLLERS of that scene. Sounds good to me!

I'm not familiar with HomeSeer, but if it creates links to/from the PLC in your devices that would be an issue. Otherwise I don't see a problem.

I believe it's the same as other plug-in devices - unplug for 30 seconds or so, hold set button down, plug back in, release set button after 10 seconds.
