Another problem I noticed is if you rename the variables and save. Then navigate straight to the programs drop down list, the old and the new variable names are listed in the drop down.

I have the same problem as Rod, variables display twice in program drop down list. Java cache was cleared twice during install as per instructions. Regards,

Hi Michel, Nice addition, looking forward to implementing them into my programs. Do you have a basic document how variables function within ISY. and what to expect etc. I know how variables work in a program like visual basic but ISY has a few differences so it would be good to have a document that describes how they are implemented in ISY. ie. scope and lifetime etc Many thanks.

Thanks Lee but that didn't help, the procedure below did. I run 32bit Windows.

My upgrade seemed to work perfectly apart from the version number which states 2.8.8. I can tell its the new version due to some of the changes of the interface. Can someone confirm that its simply a matter of the version number not getting updated. Or has something more ominious occured. Thanks, Wayne

Help --> About Should display version number 2.8.9, instead displays version 2.8.8

When creating a new folder in the "Main" section of the Administrator the result will be two new folders with the same name. Steps to reproduce: 1) RMC and choose 'New Folder' 2) Enter folder name *3) Press Enter key You should see two folders with the same name. If you click the OK button with the mouse the problem does not occur. Regards, Wayne

Michel, Thank you for the upgraded features, in particular the program execute menu functionality, that will save quite a bit of fiddling. Wayne

Hi Michel, Are there any screen shots and documentation of the Brultech/ISY plugin functionality. Apart from a small page on the Wiki I cant find anything. Thanks, Wayne

Hi Lee, Yes 2.8.7 resolved the problem. I was hesitant to upgrade due to a few possible reported issues which I didn't want to risk but everything seems to work okay. Thanks, Wayne

Hi Michel, Version 2.8.6 Cannot send any notifications. The following error is from the error log: Fri 2010/12/10 07:39:03 AM System -50001 -16 The msgbox error says: Mail server failure Password not accepted The mail account is Gmail with the following configuration: SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com Port: 587 User ID: myemail@gmail.com Password: mypassword From: myemail@gmail.com Timeout (ms): 3000 I have tried various time out figures and yes its the correct password. -W.

Arts solution worked and is quite a nice piece of code although due to ISY's programming model it can be difficult to understand why it works if you are use to other event driven languages like Visual Basic. I wouldn't call myself a beginner at programming however I did find this code somewhat difficult to get my head around (at first) however its nice and compact. Once I understood (recalled) the rules regarding calling 'Then' and 'Else' paths it all came together. Many thanks for the assistance, Wayne [Cycle Fan] - Run at startup ON If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Run Program 'Cycle Fan Temp Condition' (If) Else Set 'Living Room / Venstar House' Fan On Wait 10 minutes Set 'Living Room / Venstar House' Fan Auto Wait 50 minutes Run Program 'Cycle Fan' (Then Path) [Cycle Fan Temp Condition] If Status 'Living Room / Venstar House' > 71° (Temperature) And Program 'Cycle Fan' is True Then Run Program 'Cycle Fan' (Else Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Gary's solution worked perfectly, there was one modification required to the code. The last line in the 'Then' part needed a statement to recall the [Furnace Fan - Hourly Cycle Condition] program. Another thought, if we had a power outage or ISY went offline during execution when the program was disabled then it would never run again so i would need something that run on ISY startup that enabled the program if it was disabled. Because of this I'll take a look at the other solutions to see if there is an even more simpler elegant method. -W. [Furnace Fan - Cycle Heat] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Disable Program 'Furnace Fan - Hourly Cycle Condition' Set 'Living Room / Venstar House' Fan On Wait 10 minutes Set 'Living Room / Venstar House' Fan Auto Wait 50 minutes Enable Program 'Furnace Fan - Hourly Cycle Condition' Run Program 'Furnace Fan - Hourly Cycle Condition' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

That looks good Gary, I'm in the process of testing it now. With the first program disabled it wont be doing anything until its re-enabled after the 50 minute wait. Thanks again to both you and io_guy for your assistance. Wayne

io_guy, I've adapted your code for my situation but there remains the problem that the program restarts during the 50 minute wait period if there is a change in temperature. It appears you put the wait period first and then turn on the fan but I need the fan to come on immeditely when the temp rises above 71. If the temp changes from 71 to 72 then the programs are executed however if the temp changes from 72 to 73 during the 50 minute wait period then the programs restarts and the fan comes on before the 50 minutes are up. The other interesting thing is that the code will not wait 50 minutes if I do not add a command after the wait 50 minutes command. So I added the command to turn off the fan for a second time. There must be something I'm doing wrong here. -W. [Furnace Fan - Hourly Cycle Condition] If Status 'Living Room / Venstar House' > 71° (Temperature) Then Run Program 'Furnace Fan - Cycle Heat' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') [Furnace Fan - Cycle Heat] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'Living Room / Venstar House' Fan On Wait 10 minute Set 'Living Room / Venstar House' Fan Auto //turn fan off Wait 50 minutes Set 'Living Room / Venstar House' Fan Auto Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I have a Venstar T1900, and a wood stove which I an using instead of the electric furnace. I'd like to turn on the fan for 10 minutes every hour if the temperature is above 71°F. Note: if the temp continues to rise within the hour I dont want the fan turned on a second or third time, just the once per hour. The program below ran each time the temperature changed after reaching 72°F so the fan turned on multiple times each hour. If Status 'Living Room / Venstar House' > 71° (Temperature) Then Repeat Every 1 hour Set 'Living Room / Venstar House' Fan On Wait 10 minutes Set 'Living Room / Venstar House' Fan Auto Else Set 'Living Room / Venstar House' Fan Auto thanks, Wayne

Michel, I don't recall if it happens on every upgrade. It has certainly happened at least 4 times (perhaps more) I just dont recall if it was the last 4 upgrades, and it happens to the switch in the same location of the house (Main bathroom) Regards, Wayne

Your quite welcome to remote in to my machine and perform the upgrade, you would need to roll it back first. And of course there is no guarentee that it will happen while your watching Regards,

Hi Michel, Yes that is what I meant. The restore operation repopulated the ISY table with the records. This problem is an ongoing issue for me, you may remember that we thought it was due to the v35. switchlinks but they have all been replaced now and this very same bathroom light (with new v.38 device) has exactly the same problem after upgrades. The only v.35 device I have now is a single togglelink relay. It seems unlikely that it would cause the exact same problem to the exact same main bathroom light each time I upgrade. The light itself works in combination with a motion sensor as well as manual operation, its been extremely reliable otherwise. Regards, Wayne

After upgrading to latest fireware all the entries for a one particular switchlink went missing from the ISY tables. Any ideas why this may have happened? Thanks.

After about a year of on going frustrating intermittent issues I bit the bullet and had all the v35's replaced. Since then the network has been working perfectly, do yourselves a favor and replace all of them asap. I just replaced about 3 each night, didn't take long. Regards,

No, and the log file is working correctly with all the enteries as expected.

This use to work in versions prior to 2.7.12, just noticed that there is no data points in the charts. Thanks.

Hi Stef2, You can use 2 programs for this. Here is an example. Regards, [AmpOff] If Time is 11:45:00PM And Status 'AMP' is On Then Set 'AMP' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') [AmpOn] If Time is 7:00:00AM And Status 'AMP' is Off Then Set 'AMP' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

The adaptor updates ISY whenever there is a change in temperature or humidity (if you have it), I've checked it and also examined the log and haven't noticed any discrepancies. It seems like this is a feature of the thermostat, not a deficiency. If you are using ISY to control a setpoint what is the problem with programatically changing the thermostat to Heat or Cool mode first. Perhaps you can give an example of what you are trying to achieve. I would say though that its very stable, and hasn't missed a beat in quite a while.
