ISY4Me

I am only in day 2 of using UD Mobile and still learning. However, I have noticed that after a sync, the scenes I have created in ISY are enabled by default (blue dot). In the one test I performed, when I toggled the scene, it turned it off (blue dot went to clear blue circle) and it executed the scene off and turned all the related lights off. Normally, these scenes contain special alterations of lightning configurations and are not enabled so I would expect the blue dot should always be off. I am now running 5.3.3 and all it is still the same… first noticed the issue on 5.3.0. Update 5/21 Further examination this morning reveals that if any element of the scene is on, then UD Mobile sees the scene as being on. If all the lights in any of the scenes are off, then the status of the scene on UD Mobile is off or just the empty blue circle shows.

Thank you apostolakisl and larryllix for the links, I have used Tasker on Android in the past. Unfortunately, I forgot to mention that I am now an Apple iOS and Mac household and there is no pure equivalent for Tasker for iOS that I have come across. I have and do use REST commands on a WC8 PLC to feed Temperature data to the ISY, so I am familiar with the REST command approach of data communications. For a while, I thought I could use the CAI WebConnect PLC WC8 to feed to the ISY using PING, but the WC8 does not allow PING... this is only available on the WC32. I could always upgrade the PLC, but I was trying to accomplish this using the hardware I have. Thanks jtara92101... I have seen some threads talking about what might be possible with DD-WRT open-source router firmware. To accomplish my connectivity problems, I have moved to a CradlePoint MBR1200B and DD-WRT is not compatible with that router and I wouldn't want to loose the benefits that I have with the Cradlepoint OS. Open to any other suggestions... there must be a way.

Can you provide some guidance or instructions as to how you use tasker to set a variable in ISY? Thanks

I have a simple goal, but an unknown path as to how to get there. I want to do a poor mans geo-fencing. I would like to programmatically PING my cell phone network (WiFi) IP from ISY. I run a "reserved DHCP" configuration, so the internal home IP for the phone never changes. If the PING is successful, then set a state variable indicating that I am home and certain commands can be executed. By the same token, if the PING fails, it is indicating that I am away from home and now certain systems will be shutdown or changed. Is such a thing possible?
