Finally got it to link; took about 20 ISY reboots and then linking it by address...

Regular. Maybe 30 devices, counting the 8-keypads as 1 device

No

1) start linking 2) Hold down the little button on the switch until it beeps 3) Usually this is where the new switch appears on the ISY console 4) Go check the level 3 event log

I've tried holding the link button down on the switch to start linking after the "start linking" bar went away I've tried to pull out the switch air gap to power off the switch, then tried again I moved the 2635-222 next to it, then tried #1 again Power cycled the ISY

UI is also 5.3.4. No green/grey icons I have lots of devices, most are dual band I tried moving a 2635-222 right next to the switch to help with range The new device is a 2477S I set level 3 in event viewer - not seeing anything after the "start linking" entry. I'm suspicious it's not a device issue but an ISY issue. It used to be when I hit "start linking" it would start right away - this 3 minute wait for the start linking % to get to 100 is a new thing.

When I start linking from the admin console, the "linking" progress bar takes a long time to get to 100% (3 minutes?). When it's done, trying to link my devices doesn't register on the console. I started on 5.3.0, trying 5.3.4 now same issue. There's nothing in the event viewer other than "start insteon device linking mode"

After upgrading from 4.9 to 5.3.0, most of my programs are showing as "red" and aren't running. Am I missing something new with the new version to get these old automations running?

I wasn't talking about the Harmony - I was asking if the HA-bridge can do it. It does have a REST API, but I didn't see any commands in the documentation to trigger harmony actions (only GET list of devices, etc).

Is there a REST command to have the HA-bridge trigger a harmony activity? Something like PUT LOCALHOST:8080/api/devices/harmony/activities/TV??

Is anyone using "Netflix" as a Name in the hue bridge? Echo is fine with "Turn on Netflix" but won't take "Turn off Netflix" - at least for me.

Perfect. thanks!

I wasn't clear on this from the wiki - I want to make a program that IF it's dark out AND either one of two zones is violated THEN turn on some lights. IF Time between dusk and dawn AND (Zone 1 violated OR zone 2 violated) Not sure how to get the AND/OR correct. Probably something with the AND (...) buttons but wasn't sure how to get this to work. Thanks!

See if you can get "Jarvis" as the name.

It seems ok with a device.db file of just []

With 0.4.8 had the same error every time I started the emulator, of missing device.db file and it would not create one if I added devices (program would continue running though). It was stored in the default spot (/data/device.db). A completely blank device.db file (created with linux touch command) would cause the program to bomb out.

I can confirm that at least in Linux, version 0.4.8 can not create a new device.db file if non exists. 0.4.4 will however.

Thanks. I'm using Pi. Version 0.4.4 was able to create a fresh device.db file, and now I can go back to running 0.4.8 now that it exists.

It doesn't come with a db file. Can someone post a very simple db file so I can at least start it and modify it?

With the ha-bridge, it claims it can't access my device.db file so doesn't write any new devices to any file. I set up the default subdirectory (data) and chmod 777 it. If I create a blank device.db file in there, then the bridge totally bombs out. Shouldn't it create the device.db file if it doesn't exist yet?

Yeah, sounds like something different than I've been using. https://github.com/armzilla/amazon-echo-ha-bridge Or maybe it is the forked development of the original bridge. Looks like the operation is very similar.

Maybe dumb question, but what is the "HUE Emulator by BWS systems"? Is this the hue bridge we've been using from the beginning (at https://github.com/armzilla/amazon-echo-ha-bridge)?

For those still manually programming the hue bridge, this code worked for me. An echo command of "set thermostat to 72" will change the ISY variable. { "name": "Thermostat", "deviceType": "switch", "offUrl": "http://UN:PW@IP/rest/vars/set/1/4/${intensity.percent}", "onUrl": "http://UN:PW@IP/rest/vars/set/1/4/${intensity.percent}" }

I thought I saw somewhere this was going to be in 5.x.... can you put $VARNAME in the body of the post command?

Can ISY put a variable value into the body of a REST PUT command? You could have echo put the requested temp value for a thermostat command into an ISY variable, and then have ISY send the REST command to NEST inserting the variable value... Or is this something we are waiting for the 5.x firmware to support?
