OK, so here is exactly what I've got for each of the two programs. I have Program #1 on the MobiLinc dashboard, which when tapped runs the "Then" portion of the program. If I exclusively use MobiLinc to open/close the garage door everything works fine, but if the garage door is opened using the manual switch (on the wall of my garage) the status continues to show as "Closed" in MobiLinc. (Note that if the garage door is manually closed, the MobiLinc status does update correctly.) Again, the sensor I'm using is the one that comes with the Insteon 74551 Garage Door Control & Status Kit. I'm totally stumped, so many thanks again for any advice or insight you're able to offer! Program #1: 'Open/Close Garage Door' If $i.GarageDoor_Status is 1 Then Set 'Garage / Garage Door Relay' On Wait 10 seconds Set 'Garage / Garage Door Relay' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Program #2: 'Monitor Garage Door Status' If Status 'Garage / Garage Door Sensor' is On Then $i.GarageDoor_Status = 0 $i.GarageDoor_Status Init To $i.GarageDoor_Status Run Program 'Open/Close Garage Door' (Else Path) Else $i.GarageDoor_Status = 1 $i.GarageDoor_Status Init To $i.GarageDoor_Status

Hi Xathros, sorry to bother you again and please pardon my ignorance, but per my previous message, all I did to get your Program #2 to work with my setup was to change the "Off" in the "If" statement to "On". Is there anything else I need to change? For some reason, when the garage door is opened using the hard-wired switch in my garage the status continues to show as "Closed" in MobiLinc. Or alternatively, what changes would I need to make to the setup of my I/O Linc to have it work with your programs as they are written? The sensor I'm using is the one that comes with the Insteon 74551 Garage Door Control & Status Kit (http://www.smarthome.com/insteon-74551-garage-door-control-status-kit.html).

I have Program #1 on the MobiLinc dashboard, which when tapped runs the "Then" portion of the program. Re: Program #2, all I did to get it to work was to change the "Off" in the "If" statement to "On". Have I messed up the logic in doing that? LOL

Hi Xathros, thanks for getting back to me. The Admin console shows the IOLinc sensor status as "On" when the garage door is closed and "Off" when it is open. Is that what it should be? The firmware version I'm using is 4.5.1.

I've been using Xathros' Garage Door Opener and Garage Door Status programs (posted earlier in this thread, and copied below), which work great with MobiLinc, but the problem is that when the garage door is opened through some other means (e.g., manually) the program status in MobiLinc continues to show the status as Closed. What would be the easiest way to ensure the status is updated regardless of the method used to open/close the door? Many thanks in advance!

Teken, io_guy, Javi, Stu, Thank you so much for your helpful guidance and suggestions—you are all awesome!!! I am going to go ahead and order a Micro Module and give it a shot. Any ideas on where in the range hood (which part of the interior) would be least prone to being affected by heat or grease? Kind regards, Mark

Hi all, Please pardon my ignorance as I am not the most knowledgeable when it comes to matters electrical. Essentially the problem I have is this: Every single light in my house, from the attic right down to the basement, is controllable via my ISY, with the exception of the four halogen lights in the range hood over my kitchen island. This bugs me to no end I am therefore trying to determine which Insteon product(s), if any, I would be able to hook up to those four lights. I’m guessing either the In-LineLinc or Micro On/Off module? The range hood is made by Jenn-Air and has a button for controlling the lights. Successive presses of the button cycles the lights from Off -> Bright -> Dim -> Off. (I’d be willing to do away with the Bright/Dim settings if that was needed to make this application work, but ideally I’d still be able to switch the lights on/off using the physical button.) I’ve attached some photos showing both the range hood (exterior and interior) as well as the bulbs themselves. If anyone would be kind enough to take a look at them and point me in the right direction, I’d be extremely grateful! Kind regards, Mark

DavidG's suggestion worked for me. Homebridge is now able to locate all of the SwitchLincs and LampLincs via the ISY. Thanks so much!!! Does anyone know if it is possible to get Homebridge to recognize ISY scenes?

Hi everyone, I have a ISY994i that I am using as a controller for three LampLincs and about a dozen SwitchLincs. I am able to control each of the devices individually as well as in groups, using scenes, via the ISY’s built-in web-based (Java) interface. I also use Mobilinc HD on my iPad and iPhone to control the devices and scenes. I’ve just installed the latest version of HomeBridge on a Raspberry Pi 2 B along with homebridge-isy-js. When I start the HomeBridge server, it initializes the ISY platform as well as the LampLincs, but does not seem to pick up on the SwitchLincs. Am I missing something? pi@raspberrypi ~ $ tail -f /var/log/homebridge.log [ISY994i] Initializing platform accessory 'Downstairs Hall Lamp'... [ISY994i] Initializing platform accessory 'Study Lamp'... [ISY994i] Initializing platform accessory 'Upstairs Hall Lamp'... Scan this code with your HomeKit App on your iOS device to pair with Homebridge: ┌────────────┐ │ 123-45-678 │ └────────────┘ Homebridge is running on port 51826. Any guidance/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone, I’m totally new to all of this, so please pardon my ignorance. I have a ISY994iZw/IR PRO that I’m using primarily as a lighting controller, with Mobilinc HD as my front end. I recently had two Carrier Infinity systems put in, and have a couple of System Access Modules (SAMs) on order (they’re supposed to be coming in today). If possible, I’d like to have the ability to control the thermostats from the Mobilinc interface, and ideally also be able to issue commands for them to do various things (go into a particular mode, set the temperature to a particular level, etc.) as part of programs on the ISY. How should I begin to go about doing this? What additional hardware and/or software do I need? Any pointers in the right direction would be most welcomed and appreciated. Many thanks in advance!
