  1. It was easier for me to just get the Chamberlain devices to do it. Can I control it from ISY? No, but why do I care? I can close it from the built in app. It utilizes all it's own hardware. Has a 10/5/1 min timer on the keypad to auto close (blinks light and has a beeper) To monitor it, I just have a tilt sensor on the door. https://www.amazon.com/LiftMaster-MyQ-Retrofit-Package/dp/B00IPKPVCE/ref=sr_1_2?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1479700229&sr=1-2&keywords=LiftMaster+Internet+Gateway I bought the two items independently, as there was not package at the time. It cost me $50 bucks, but now they realized that the sum of the parts was not cost effective, so you buy the whole thing for $67. It also makes the keypad another remote point (for clickers) which actually extended the range by maybe 100 ft. My Liftmaster was from 2004.....
  2. Thanks for the good info.... My point was it never said when I "activated" the remote connect it would cost until 30 days later.. VPN, numerous routers that support it. I use a Dynamic DNS Service, but with Time Warner, my IP stays the same across modem reboots, et al, at least for a year till I replaced the Router (MAC changed of course) so there might not be a real need. But to be complete, DHCP addresses change...so they can, and if they do, you will loose ability to connect without DDNS. As for Port forwarding is never secure. Even if you do a redirection Port 123 to internal Port 789. You can still SCAN and find an open port. As for VPN, you scan, find the VPN Port, but nothing is routed internally, until authenication is done. I personally moved to OpenVPN on the router instead of PPTP, not because OpenVPN is technically more secure, but because I continued to get scans and attempts to login on 1723 (PPTP), has not happened on OpenVPN, since with OpenVPN on the router, you can do a little more config, like change the port to a non common port, I suggest up in the 65000's since most people that scan don't scan that high....usually nothing up there.... That being said, I use to poke holes for everything, but why the risk? Just VPN into the network from any mobile device and then you know no one is banging on any internal device, only on the external. As for Routers that support OpenVPN, there are a few I know of...Asus, Some Netgear, and mostly anything that can run DDWRT, but I got tired of keeping up with DDWRT, so stick with a stock router that supports it.... Just my .02$, those that understand this probably can see by some of the detail I understand this.....
  3. Ok, thanks I must have missed it.... Port Forward = Insecure VPN = Not as much
  4. So I like the look of the GE/Jasco GE Jasco Iris switches at Lowes. The old versions in the Bubble pack are on sale for $36.50 (10% off if you buy 4 or more) and you can buy a %10 off from e-bay and then get them down to like $32.50 each... So I bought 16 of them to do all the dimmers in the house. I say "old version" because these have a standard size square LED on them, and the "new version" has a hold that just seems smaller, and is 1/10th the size. The new version are in Green boxes, not the bubble packs. The Evolve have a Clear Air Gap switch, so I sent all 16 of those back to Amazon....since I had GE Jasco already. They work well, 3 way, 3 way dimmer, dimmer, and switch. My biggest question, is can you DISABLE the LED completly? I would really like this for the Wall Plugs, since it is a full size (round) blue LED and in the bedroom, it is bright.... I can't find a parmeter that disables the led completly, anyone have a solution, outside of putting white tape over it? Just to note, you can change the LED config with this: LED When shipped from the factory, the LED is set to turn ON when the connected light is turned OFF. This allows the LED to indicate the switch location in a dark room. To make the LED turn ON when the light is turned ON, change parameter 3 value to 1 Parameter No: 3 Length: 1 Byte Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 0) 0 = On when Off 1 = Off when device is on
  5. Any idea if/when UDI will support Zwave Plus? Or will this requere a Radio Upgrade? If so, is that in the pipe?
  6. Just wondering what is "high" on the list, as zigbee devices are plenty and seem to be always cheaper.... So just courious what other innovations are in the works...
  7. I installed iOS, and saw no mention of "subscription" then after 30~ days it told me to pay.... Since I already paid a kings ransom for the app, icons, and refuse to pay $50 bucks to do what I can do on the Java App, it made me mad. Then I realized that it worked local, the subscription was only for "cloud connection" so you can use it from anywhere.... Jokes on You, I can enable VPN and then I *am* local.... Speaking of that, the Icon pack sucks, and there is no function to create your own icons.....at least let us *buy* a widget to upload icons....
  8. I am getting this error, but I DO NOT HAVE a PLM connected. Any idea?
