  1. Geddy: Thanks, but all that said, I and others are still having issues with Gmail despite the fact that others are not. I have used Gmail for years to send from ISY. Now all of a sudden I (and others) are having issues. What would be causing this and when I ask for a resolution, I'm asking for help from you and others in troubleshooting it. I'm pretty sure that it's related to tls. ISY 994i, 4.7.3 Any help from you and other members is much appreciated. For what it's worth, I also have AXIS cameras using Gmail to send mail/notifications using SMTP and TLS from the same Gmail account utilizing the second step authorization code and they are still working fine!
  2. I've got the same thing as well. My (default) does not work either, Any resolution yet?
  3. Thanks. My memory is good, but short and getting shorter. Appreciate your help.
  4. I have forgotten how to save the java login as an icon on my desktop.

    My range is excellent (without even having to use an external antenna that's included). I was hoping for an easy integration, but nothing is easy.

    I've got an old 994. I just installed the Ring Mailbox sensor and found that they do NOT allow the Ring chime to link to it. The mailbox "motion" sound on the Ring app stinks. It is so quiet; you barely hear it. I'm looking for a way to link it somehow through my ISY and make an alarm of some sort sound when the mailbox is opened. I've looked through what there is on the forum re: this and didn't find any work arounds. Is it possible somehow?

    Thank you

    I just factory reset (confirmed that all scenes were removed), I then restored the device and confirmed all scenes were operational. The LED flashes green upon each subsequent button push, and each scene works properly. However, when at resting (all off), the LED is a faint red. What is this telling me?

    After many years of no issues... Tonight I found a KPL (2334-2) v.45 with a light turned on. I turned out the light and tested all 8 buttons. All buttons control scenes or other Insteon. All worked as programmed. I then noted that the lower unit LED was dim red. As has been the practice years ago, I pulled out the reset switch/LED and waited a minute. When I reset it the 8 buttons momentarily flashed and all lights/scenes were off as they should. In about ten seconds the LED became a dim red and would intermittently flash bright green. I checked the unit in ISY and all looks good. What do I have going on? If i need to replace it, I see that they are out of stock, any idea how long they'll be? Thanks

    You guys are miles ahead of me, slow up? What I can gather from the forum(s) that discuss this is tha I must have 5.X software first of all, is that right? I see no Polyglot tab anywhere in my ISY. Once I get my equip. where I need it, could someone then give me the MyQ For Dumb aLf book? How do I then get the MyQ to talk to me and can I write a program, or does it have to be done with a variable? I'm capable, but way behind the curve in ISY. Tim

    larry: Could you give me a step-by-step on how you did it? i.e., location on door through picking up the data in ISY and maybe the program you wrote. Thanks, Tim

    This subject was touched on years ago, and I'm not sure if there is any new flavor on it now? I have a KPL button which shows locked/unlocked status of a Schlage lock that goes from the house to the garage. I have it programmed as to show on when the door is locked - works great. The Chamberlain overhead garage door was left open the other night and found in the AM. (Thankfully nothing was missing) . I have the MyQ installed on the door and also have the app on my phone (also works well). Is there any (easy) way to get the MyQ to talk to the Insteon/ISY network and add a status call that could be used on my KPL. i.e., IF: Schlage is locked and IQ shows closed, THEN: turn KPL button ON? Thanks, Tim

    WAY WAY out of my pay grade. Thanks anyway.

    Could you elaborate on this product and where I might research it and see what I need?

    Have an inline linc controlling a post light (and an outlet tied into same line). At holidays, I have decorations plugged into the post/outlet. I have ISY turn the post light on at sunset, off at sunrise. If I have decorations, obviously they too run at the same time. The entire circuit is outdoors. Id like a way to have the outlet turn on at sunset, but off at 10PM. I can't simply use an outletlinc because it wouldn't be seen until the entire circuit powered on at sunset. In addition, the box is in a wet climate and wouldn't hold up. Has anyone made a waterproof exterior outlet that could plug in on the post circuit, be seen by ISY and run separately. Had I known when I built, of course I would have run a separate circuit...

    I did a search tonight on Chamberlain "MyQ" and got a few hits, but not really what I was looking for. I have a fairly good setup of ISY/Insteon. I just bout the Chamberlain MyQ and it works perfect. My question is... Is there a way to have the MyQ talk to ISY and maybe make a variable or affect the outcome of a program. I'd like to see the MyQ show a positive response to ISY that both doors are closed, then tie it into a program I have that shows both main pedestrian doors (Schlage locks) are locked and then have it turn on a KPL light. I currently have the Schlage and KPL working (albeit sometimes it misses the state). Thanks.
  18. This option requires buying a HD hub at ~ $300. I only have two blinds (as of now) and can't really justify the expense for just two. Is there any other creative way to get ISY to talk with an RF sender for a bit less. Z wave product?
  19. I searched and can't find any answers. If this has been looked at, please point me in the right direction. Is there a way to control these blinds with my ISY/Insteon? Thanks, aLf

    Is there a way for ISY to send a text through the resource manager? Thanks

    Got a way to control motion from Axis. I was hoping to use a variable to note the posting or lack off to the cam from the web. Then use that variable to turn a KPL light on/off.
  22. aLf replied to aLf's topic in ISY994
    I've already got the Axis cameras working great with ISY, just wanted to explore Variables to see if there are internal functions in the camera that will work better.

    Since buying a new Windows computer, I have had issues with the Admin. Console / UI fonts being way to small to see. I go into FILES/THEMES/FONT SIZE and change to the largest (#20) and this helps, but is still kind of small. This larger font will stay sometimes for many days, some times is back to small next entry. Is there a fix for this? I'd think that the personalization of the UI would stay. Thanks.

    Sorry, been out the last two days. I'm first off looking to understand and use them. 1st spot ill work with is with cameras, and my Schlage door locks. I like the idea that if I walk up to the house the iphone could sense it's me and unlock a door. From there, I will just play with it. I had seen some ideas with the Schlage locks a long time ago. Guess I can start there. The cameras are a whole big project that I'm sure will have many uses. For now though, I just want to experiment and educate myself.

    I'm ready to move on to using Variables. I've read various posts on the subject and of course the WIKI. I'm still quite confused as to where I should start. Does anyone/has anyone written a good mini-course on the subject? Thanks.
