Basically: *=Currently working !!=Not working -*If away_from_home var set, tstat 16c -*Else, if home... -*Timed: sets temp to 16c at night, 20c at 5am -*Motion: sets temp to 21c between 6am and 9pm -*If no motion for 1 hour, set Tstat to 16c -If any of my mini remotes, Mobilinc/Tasker OR !!TstatUP/DOWN, manually modifies temp... (they have a 23c button, and a +1 and -1 button) ...then obey that override for 30 minutes, then fall back to Motion set (above is done by setting/resetting a variable) The only condition i need to fix is when the Tstat UP/DOWN is pressed (that is ALSO an override to obey for 30 minutes, in addition to above) This would be VERY EASY if the Tstat up/down were captured for conditions to use! /f

just reporting back, this didn't work for me... As mentioned above, "ANY" change to the Tstat triggers the if condition... so it creates circular logic, because, say i have the Tstat change to 20c at 6am, that in turn unintentionally fires off the "if button pushed" logic i currently have, disables the motion, waits for x minutes, then enables, then when motion sensed, it triggers the Tstat to change, which then disables the motions for x time again, blah blah. So, is the problem that the Tstat up/down does not report that to the ISY, or is it that the ISY is currently not capturing that activity? It sure would be nice if that up/down could trigger a condition!! (could even do things like "if pressed up 3 times in 5 seconds" type logic, etc.) I guess for now, i'll have to put a couple of big wads of DUCT TAPE over the buttons on the Tstat, so nobody uses them. Won't my wife and friends be impressed! /f

Interesting! Do i need a network license for my ISY for that?

Yes, i do use summary, but some of the stuff is middle of the night weirdness, so i'd prefer to look at it next day. I don't see much in L3 events, REAMS AND REAMS of variables coming from my EM dashbox. How do you set the Error Logs to levels? I see how to set levels in the Event Viewer, but not error log level. I'm looking for a nice (wishful?) list of just program calls if possible. /Fred

In my log, I'm only seeing 'device' activity (on/off/humidity/etc). Is there another log, or way in the log, to see what programs are running and completing at what times? Thanks

Brilliant! Thanks! Here is a simple 'if" then flash light couple of times... working!

That will work! i'm good with a "Status Change"! Where do i find that? (I have my Tstat completely dumbed down so ISY does all setting) (Other that forcing up/down with the keys on it from current setpoint) I see a "then" where i can set up/down 1 degree. But i'm missing where to "if" a "Status Change" see attached...

Hi MIchel, can you offer any advice here? Thanks

I'm looking to add a condition when up or down is pressed on my Insteon 2441TH Thermostat so i can override control of my motion sensors when the temperature is manually overridden, for a period of 60minutes. I can't see a condition for it... am i missing it? See attached screenshot... (What is ON/OFF and how would that be used in a condition?)

I just need to be darn sure that that siren comes back on, so for now I'm just going to turn it on twice a day, and I'll have to manually turn it off if it isn't ready to be turned on yet. I just don't trust the variable idea... I have tried it but I just don't like it. I just don't understand why there is no condition for a disabled program, seems like a no-brainer to me.

I've searched, don't see... probably been asked 1000 times, but anyways... my search in the forums was... program true false disabled condition (all) I'm trying to say 'if my siren_blasts program is disabled" (not true or false) then at xx times each day, notify me by sending an email. reason: (in a panic i have a program that if we push our main dimmer 5x down (or more) then it disables it, and then it must be MANUALLY reset (i don't want it going off if i already have an emergency i know about... it just causes additional stress for no reason) I only see condition "if prog true/false", not "disabled"... where the heck is it? /fj

Thanks bud, i missed that in the dropdown!

Is there a way to search all programs to find a specific text or variable etc in any of the programs?

This is response to question asked by dierwin johnstonf, deirwin has just posted a reply to a topic that you have subscribed to titled "Leak Sensors - Another (Suggested) Complete Program Package". Thank you for doing this! I am unable to find the "Add And (..)" button. I've googled and read and searched... Even Wiki, doesn't tell me how to access it, just how to use it. First add an AND statement, then you'll see the AND.. OR.. See attached screenshot...

Me thinks there's more to it... it's not just the 1k nothing... First time it DOWNLOADS the application, and I can see traffic downloading via SNMP on my router. So I'd rather know I'm running and backing up the actual app... /f

Thanks... i did find it (was just coming back to report)... that is so confusing... I don't know what that dashboard thing is, but it should NOT be listed on the first page of instructions for getting the ISY going! Horribly Confusing! I downloaded the .jnlp but when i run it it goes and appears to grab a file from externally and is only 1k in size. Can i find the actual application file, and save/keep it, and run it locally? /f

OK, before i BLOW A COOKIE... wtf have i downloaded? I used the link at the page http://forum.univers...s-now-official/ to download a link http://isy.universal.../dashboard.jnlp and get a totally useless looking interface... what is this? (see attached screenshot)...

Please rescue me from f&ching JAVA! I was able (MAC) to backup my config til recently. Now it won't ALLOW me to save it anywhere... WTF... JAVA drives me EVEN MORE nuts these days. I can run the admin console ok. What happened recently that i can no longer back up my configs? When i go to back up, i get no writeble locations! If i click the "New Folder" button, i get a popup saying "this location is read-only". Tried on BOTH of my macs, in all browsers. /f

Thanks for the insights and laughs guys... much appreciated...

My mom has had a stroke... She's recovering quickly, but I need an 'alert' solution, as she lives alone without computer or internet, and doesn't like technology. I'm looking for some sort of mini-switch on a bracelet that she can push if she runs into trouble. Then I can have the ISY (Will install it and Internet in her home) send out emails to us children, friends, etc if she has another fall/episode. I also found an app called ManDown that monitors movement on a smartphone, and resets whenever it senses movement (eg set to 1 hour, and if NO movement, it will start calling, emailing, texting). So just putting data on a smartphone would allow this app to work, BUT, she would need to carry and maintain a smartphone (charge nightly, etc). The app also has an SOS button to push to send immediate alert, but it can be a P.I.T.A. to get into the app, touch the screen in the right place, answer an "are you sure?" button, etc. She does drive, and go for long walks, so a 500 foot limited RF solution won't cover it all. Also, money / cost IS a consideration, for sure! Any thoughts? Anyone going through this and found good solution(s)?

Hey, rabbit1543, I appreciate you and all others that offer up their hard work, don't misinterpret me! I, on the other hand, am too busy for pulling info from my many systems, so I rely heavily on push notifications. So in my case, it could be disasterous, so people need to be informed when a bug appears... some might not care, and that's everyone's own decision! Again, thanks.

Great ideas, thanks for the tips!

i like your logic to make things naturally logical! (just need to get my head around reversing the logic, etc) (I use mobilinc also (on Android)) i'm not familiar with your first 3 lines: The method I use is to drop all your programs into a folder and disable it with If 1 is not 1...etc.. That gets them out of the way until proven lesser than what you are doing. -Wouldn't the programs then stop (be disbled) until i either enable them again or replace them? -What to you mean using if 1 is not 1 (I know it's short for false, but not how you use it... put all into then to programatically disable?) (is this a quick way to disable while testing NEW, and then reverse the logic to re-enable them?) /f

Oh man, I was so interested in your PM, i totally missed the "attachment" lol! Thanks! I'll let the one i set up last night settle in, and then make changes based on yours. Fred

Hey Rabbit1543, you really need to put a disclaimer up top, so people don't waste a whole pile of time on this, like i did, and direct them to the Belias solution (unless you got it fixed?). It looks nice, and all, but doesn't work (as intended)!
