Hi there, I noticed in the latest UI/Firmware version installed that there's a new button called "Schedule" which appears under the Thermostat device adapter node. It doesn't function for me; I get a subscriber no reply error when the button is pressed. What's the function of this button?

Thanks everyone. LeeG, thanks for the pointer about running on Windows. I tried the same reference to /rest/programs in Firefox and obtained more complete information. I'll bet others were scratching their head about what I was talking about! Takeaway: Don't use Safari for communicating with the REST interface interactively on a Mac.

How did you get the program ID associated with the folder/program? I viewed the raw output returned from /rest/programs using the Mac's TextEdit program. I only saw the name of the folder or program.

I also tried resolving the space in the name to its hex value. That did not work: https:///rest/programs/My%20Programs 404 error returned.

I have my programs in ISY organized in a folder structure like this: My Programs Program Folder A (name with spaces) Program Subfolder A (name with spaces) I can make a call successfully like this: https:/rest/programs The url returns a list of the top level programs and folders after login. I can also make the following call successfully: https:/rest/programs?subfolder=true The url returns all the programs and folders in icy What I can't do without getting a 404 error is this: https:/rest/programs/My Programs I've tried the possibilities: https:/rest/programs/MyPrograms or https:/rest/programs/"My Programs" All to no avail. What am I doing wrong? The documentation doesn't seem to cover this. (Page 57 for v4.0.5) 404 errors are invalid reference errors (e.g. dead link, bad link reference)

What are the common ways people are using a Remotelinc for thermostat control? I think I see two ways for doing this: - Create a scene which includes the Remotelinc as controller and the thermostat as the responder. I can see how this might work for the Remotelinc's On button. But how do you program what the Off button does? - Create two scenes, each adjusting the temperature to a specific setpoint. Create a program to call one of the scenes when the Remotelinc's On or Off button is pressed. Which is the better way to call for heat or cooling, and to revert back to the scheduled program when requested?

Thanks, oberkc.I forgot about this detail. Setting the ramp rate on the responder with the controller in the scene selected enabled me to adjust the ramp rate on the light when the remotelinc on button was selected.

I picked up a Remotelinc last night and added it to my setup. I created a scene consisting of the Remotelinc and one Keypadlinc dimmer. The light is toggled on and off by the Keypadlinc - the light turns on and off instantaneously, but scene adjustments to the ramp rate and level don't seem to take. I can set up a ramp rate of 4.5 seconds and the light still comes on instantaneously. Restarting the Keypadlinc has no effect. Is there some special procedure for programming this with the Remotelinc?

I'm interested in integrating control of everything in ISY with all my A/V stuff, along with iTunes/Airplay. Does anyone have any suggestion for the best remote for this purpose? I've tried Roomie, but didn't particularly like the integration with ISY supplied with it - seems rather primitive, not sure how to call programs and such. It would be nice to be able to pull/poll state information about Insteon devices, ala a dedicated app like Mobilinc Pro, while adding the traditional universal remote control stuff that Roomie or something similar provides.

Just installed the EZX10RF device on my Insteon network. Works like a charm with ISY-99. Those previously unreliable Hawkeye motion sensors now generate reliable ON and OFF codes. I've used my surplus stash of these motion sensors now to detect occupancy in a room. Glad I didn't get rid of these motion sensors - they're now truly usable. Thanks Lee for the info.

I was able to access my ISY-26 without resorting to brute force methods. Here's what I did: 1. Plug in the PLM with the PLM connected to the ISY-26. 2. Power up the ISY-26. 3. Once the boot sequence is complete, unplug the PLM from ISY. 4. telnet into the ISY-26. 5. Copy and paste the MAC address returned from the URL: http://your.isy.address/desc for the user name and password. 6. For me, ISY-26 appeared to hang. After a few minutes, I plugged the PLM back in. 7. Open a new terminal session and start a telnet session. Login as admin/admin. This appeared to have worked for me. YMMV. But it is different enough from the wiki notes to worth mentioning here. The key seems to be related to starting up ISY-26 with the PLM plugged in, then unplugging the connection to the PLM just prior to the login via telnet using your ISY's MAC address.

So the MAC address I obtained from Wireshark matches the one I obtained from the ISY-26 itself, using the following URL: http://your.isy.ip.address/desc It's in the format: 00:03:f4:02:nn:nn I'm wondering if UDI has a list of the serial numbers for ISY-26 and the MAC address associated with each unit.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have the PLM disconnected while attempting the telnet session. I've entered the MAC address in the following formats as userid and password: xxxxxxxxxxxx xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx No joy so far. Anything else to try?

Well, I was able to get the IP address and the MAC address of my ISY using Wireshark and performing a capture off my Macbook's ethernet port with the ISY connected directly to it. Unfortunately, the MAC address I entered as the username and password did not allow me to access the ISY via Telnet. Keep getting an "authentication failed" error. Any suggestions on how to proceed further?

For this particular unit, I do not know its IP address.

No ISY finder comes up when I load the Admin Console. I cannot login, so the Help/About dialog cannot be accessed.

Hi, I have an ISY-26 device I cannot access via Admin Console. I do not know the device's admin account name or password. The factory reset procedure described on the wiki describes how to obtain the MAC address of the ISY so that you can telnet in to the device and perform a factory reset. What I haven't been able to figure out is how to obtain the ISY's IP address. My router's connected devices table doesn't appear to list the ISY; the count of connected devices doesn't change when the ISY is connected or disconnected from the LAN. Does anyone have any suggestions on obtaining the ISY's IP address?

Can anyone with one of these devices confirm whether or not this device works with the current firmware version for ISY-99i (3.3.10)?

I have a mix of v.1.0, v.1.3, v. 2.x, v.4.x, v.5.x devices, with a PLM v.63. Does the capability to support extended messages allow any such devices to repeat messages the device itself doesn't support?

For those with a mix of old and new Insteon devices, which support the ever-evolving Insteon protocol, how does one know if one has a configuration which supports the mix of devices? Is this a function of the PLM version one is using?

What steps does one need to follow when setting up ISY to run on a home network with internet service subscription? Can anyone speak to how a router should be set up to run in this environement, if it even works? Thanks.

I've been considering purchasing SHN EZX10RF device to use with X10 remotes and motion sensors. Any comments on how well this is supported with ISY99? Also, how reliable are X10 Rf only signals on an otherwise Insteon only network? Do motion sensors work well under this arrangement? How about keychain remotes?

Received the following errors during upgrade of ISY99i IR/PRO from firmware version 3.2.6 on a Macbook 5.1 2008 version running OSX 10.7.5 and the latest Java version using Safari or Firefox: Upgrade failed: Failed uploading file (reported written size is invalid Socket Open failed. java.io.IOException: Broken pipe Progress status for upgrade went to 2% before failing. Socket open error also came up during a lengthly backup process. Looks like the session timed out. Any suggestions? All the Java related issues are really getting old.

Is there any consideration given to developing an Admin Console which does not use Java? Given the recent news related to Java and the security issues related to it, and the trouble Mac users have using Java in general, would it be better to migrate the application to something else?
