Got it, added the non-IR device

Interesting; when I configure a button, select the Universal Device Light device, there are no commands?

Thanks. I keep bumping up against polygot. May have to bite the bullet and learn it.

So further searching it looks like the use of the "Universal Devices Light" device on the harmony is what I'm looking for. I have the Harmony Elite and I don't see a Universal Devices Light device.

I realize that the Harmony does not have ISY commands integrated as in; you cannot add an ISY device to the remote. I have the infrared version of the ISY so know that it can receive IR commands. What I can't figure out is without adding a device to the remote how do I send IR commands? Simple stuff like turn a light off when the play button is pressed. I've never used the IR component of the ISY so am really quite lost. thanks for the help!

Thanks for the detailed response. I think I’ll hold off for now until I have a clear runway to dive into it. Unfortunately there’s a ton going on at the moment and working through an upgrade at the moment would be frustration, not enjoyment. I guess I’ll have to revert to the Stone Age and use the light switches for now

I appreciate your feedback. I’ve been tossing almost weekly on whether to move to V5 - it’s the thought of reprogramming years of fine tuning that’s kept me away. How was you experience programming the Zwave sensor on ISY? I’ll check them out and thanks again.

For what it's worth I'm feeling your pain. I'm still on version 4.x for the simple fact that 5.x has been in beta for longer than I can remember - will they ever move it into production? I've been trying to even link mine for well over 3 hours. A very frustrating experience to say the least. I managed to get one working but the device settings are completely unresponsive. A pretty useless device at this point if you can't even control the timeout. Argh!

I've been using the first version of the motion sensors for a few years now. Both batteries went out at the same time and when I replaced them, both wires that connect to the 9V ripped off. I've since bought two of the new version II. Config went okay and they're both successfully operating the lights like previously. The issue I'm having is the settings on the sensors aren't working. I recall with the old sensors I could never get the timeout to work. No matter what I set it would always turn off after 30 seconds. So I set the sensor to "on commands only" and setup a program to wait 5 minutes before turning the light off. This worked but I cannot for the life of me get it to work with the new sensors. It seems as though the settings are not taking effect, specifically the setting to "on commands only". Anyone experiencing something similar?

Is V5 ready for consumption? I’ve been thinking about it but I have things running so well - while learning to live with the quirks.

I’ve found that the perfect temperature for the house is 22.5 C and the furnace set to come on when it drops half a degree. Problem is you can’t set a variable to a fraction. Only way I can think to overcome this is to multiply by 10 somehow. Is this possible?

Gotcha, really need to stop avoiding REST.

Thanks for the advice. I’ll look at these vendors but was really hopping for ISY integration. Also looking for something I can source and install myself - I believe Axis requires that they be installed professionally.

I have a ton of 16awg copper throughout the house, originally installed for a traditional security system. I would like to start placing cameras around the house but don’t have 110v where I’d like to place them. I’m wondering how long a run can the power be to these cameras? Thought being to use the existing copper and plug the transformers in at the Home run location in the mechanical room. Some of those copper runs could be as long as 75ft. Sounds like a great idea but I’m sure there will be power loss on a run that long. Hopping someone has some thoughts to share.

You lost me at code and log
