Good evening, Larry has provided a very elegant way of doing what you want I think. As far as your question, I believe the advantage of Not 0 is that it provides a way to trigger the ELSE, that is my understanding. I am a newbie like you, so before I mislead you I would appreciate if the experts correct me in case I am way off base. I believe if you just have: Front Door-Chandelier Off - [ID 000D][Parent 0001][Not Enabled] If $sAlarmZ17_FrontEntryMotion is 1 Then - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Else Wait 15 seconds Resource 'Centralite-EntryChandelierOff' The ELSE never triggers as you have experienced, because the IF in this case only triggers for a state of 1, it does not know what to do (no trigger) when state is 0. cheers.

Good morning, I believe the else does not execute because there is no trigger to execute the else. I think you need to do something like this, pardon the syntax I just did copy and paste of your text above: If $sAlarmZ17_FrontEntryMotion is 1 and $sAlarmZ17_FrontEntryMotion not 0 Then - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Else Wait 15 seconds Resource 'Centralite-EntryChandelierOff' Also think about what happens when the door closes, you may have to also call the chandelier off program in the else part of the first program as well. Edited some lines after thinking about it some more. cheers.

Good evening, I can tell you that Honeywell YTH8320ZW1007/U, and go control GC-TBZ48 report in Celsius when you setup the tstat to use degC units. The only issue so far that I have seen with both is the z-wave reports with 0 precision which means you get only whole numbers, eventhough on the stat display the increments are 0.5 So for example tstat may say 21.5, z-wave reports 22. My observations above are when I am in the Admin console. My favorite so far is the honeywell, gives the most options that I was after, but it is also the most expensive. cheers.

Good evening, Yes, I see how that could be useful in your case. Unfortunately for my case, I am more after limiting user access rights, I don't want them to be able to change variables or run the IF or Then sections of programs, etc. For that I believe the underlying changes need to be made at the ISY firmware level and my understanding is ETA for those enhancements is unknown. cheers.

I think you are trying to do something along the lines of what I am trying to do. read here: http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/17669-isy-guest-user/ If that is the case, in my opinion hold off buying the portal module because it does not really get you there. May be in the future it develops further and offers tiered user access rights. I do not use MobiLinc so I can not say what enhancements it offers by itself or through the portal. For me the only thing the portal offers in its present state is an easier remote access. cheers.

Thank you. Yes, I am beginning to see that. In my opinion it makes it hard for the integrators to use ISY in commercial applications, where having multiple users and some form of user access rights is a very common and used feature. Even with the portal non Admin account, for example that user can still reboot ISY, or be able to clear logs, not sure why you allow those kind of capability for non Admin user. Back to ISY itself, I see there is possible to have 9 users under set userid/password, I read the wiki but I don't quite understand the purpose of these 9 users? do you think at this point for me to implement some sort of read only page is to develop something with HAD and place those pages in a non-secure section of ISY and share that link with non-admin users? I don't have any web development skills but if that is the only way then I have to dig into HAD and see if I can make any headway with that. cheers.

To provide info only access to people that are completely non-technical or people that I do not want to affect anything in ISY but only see things. For example, the principal of a school, I want him to see the thermostat temperature in all the classrooms but I do not necessarily want to give access to programs or variables that control those thermostats.

By changes, I mean just that. Stop the user from being able to change variables, or adjust thermostats, etc. A complete read only user. Looks like it is not really possible which is a big surprise for me.

Exactly, I can't find a way to create a read only/limited interface. Surely I can't be the first to ask for something like this.

I am sorry, but I do not follow. Here is what I did: I used the desktop version of Admin Console and connected to my ISY. I went under file to set userid/password and changed the credentials for admin user. now in my portal I have two users setup, lets call them userA and userB, both have the same ISY as the preferred ISY. userA is the admin account holder for the portal, userB is regular user. I log into the portal with userB credentials, and under select tool, I can still reboot ISY, etc. I want userB just to be able to view the data in ISY, I don't want him to be able to change thermostat setpoints or be able to turn things on or off, etc. I do not see anywhere in the portal or ISY for that matter that you can set user access rights. Obviously I must be missing something here. cheers.

Ok, will take that into account, thanks.

Good evening, So I purchased ISY portal module and my ISY is online with the portal. The reason I purchased the portal module is to be able to have users that can only see/view things and not have access to change anything in ISY (Guest). What is the procedure to create this type of users? cheers.

Yeah, I think I have to call up one of electrician buddies and use their account. cheers.

Thank you. I need around 1000' , and Monoprice is what I was looking for, but looks like they only carry data and audio wire will look at HD or Lowes, if that doesn't work out will go to a near by electrical wholesale. cheers.

Thank you.
