Just wondering why the status of a scene cannot be used in a program (as far as I know). It seems the only way to do this is write another program that gets executed simultaneously with the scene then use the status of that program in another program, kind of a kluge isn't it? again, unless I am missing something. Joe

Very cool! Thanks for the link! almost glad my last one died, looks like a significant improvement Do I need 2.8.3 to be able to do this?

Thanks much! Sorry for not reading far enough! Joe

My "old" MS of 1.5 years died and so I ordered a replacement (apparently only 1 yr warranty) and I noticed on the web the instructions have changed for ver 2 in that the "time out" is controlled via pots. Does that mean I cannot program the timeout via the ISY. In the past I linked the ISY to the MS then could set the exact time out (within 30 sec increments I think) very convenient, but now I have to rely on inaccurate pots? It seems that with pots, it would be a trial and error to get the right time. I know many of you only use only the "on" command and the let ISY take care of the time out, but I have the light controlled by MS as well as in a scene controlled via a keypad, and right now I use the condition "If receive off AND keypad is off, then turn off light" so I need the "off" function Joe

finally getting around to trying this and I see you can set a program to be active as a resut ot a device being turned on, but not a scene being turnd on correct? Point being the light I want to control is in a scene. if that scene is on then I do not want the motion sensor to control that light in the scene, but if that scene is off then I want the MS to control the light. To use a progam as a flag I would have to add a program to a scene or make it a condition of a scene but I dont think that can be done

Cool thanks. I was trying to set up a control for my garage light that is both controlled by a KPL and a motion sensor. If the lite is activated by the MS then the MS timeout should be able to turn it off, however if turned on by the KPL I want the MS timeout to do nothing. Very common I would think, and the "flag" concept should work Thx Joe

I want to write a simple program that uses a program status as a flag or variable i.e. if a light is turned on by a certain controller it will turn on say a dummy program "program A", then in "Program B" there will be a condition depending on Status of "Program A". The isy syntax has the ability to check if a program is "ture" is this exactly the same as a program being "on". So can I merely use "program A" and turn it on and off at will and subsequently be able to check if it is on with the is it"true" query? Thx Joe

Notes say that there is now support for ezxx devices. The only one I have is ezx10rf. Any changes or new features for that product?

OK tried setting it to dynamic ip and I got the backup loaded, but would still like to find out waht was/is going on and why I can only do a dynamic ip

i have truned off the windows lan firewall completely (WAN firewall should not matter, correct) and am not loading my security software (also Microsoft) at boot right now ...just turned of all firewalls and still same issue

i have tried logging in with evey concievalbe way including 192 address,. I can log in now and get to the admin consil, and even reinstalled 2.7.15, but every time I try to reinstall the backup for Isy it fails with a java error

I think it is a java problem as I think socket open failure is java, but I have uninstalled and reinstalled java, no help

the funny part is my wireless mobilinc program on the ipad can find it no problem, although a sync with it now says the password and user are "admin" and ther is no programs since I reset it (which is why I know that it is comminication fine) so I don't thinkthe issue is the isy is not working

did and no call back yet

no good gets half way and crashes, both on reloading 2.7.15 and /or reloading a backup

have to go to a funeral for a few hours so in my absence if anyone can post tips (without me resposnidn for a while)) please feel free and thanks BTW have complety reset teh isy now, but no better Joe

totally dorked now as I must hae erased some of the data in my half way restore, as I can only log in with the default admin password (I had chaged it) but trying to upload an old backup fails half way through. Please help!

man now I cannot log on at all

just ried it i.e. to restore isy and it get half way through then several error messages. Now what?

still really messed up though as sometimes it logs in but the program data is not there

I can soemtimes get to the isy and all looks good for a while and then I ge a socket error. I have rebooted the ISY as when I change the DNS and Gateways (both now set to the router IP is that correct) it reboots each teim. I will ty rebooting the computer, but since it sometimes logs in I doubt that the problem Cannot acces anymore with http://192.168.1.103/admin (ip is set as static http://192.168.1.103/) but can get to it with http://www.universal-devices.com/99i

Intranet that is i am connected by local computer on Same LAN

OK, now sometimes I can get into it, but sometimes not. Seems each teim now I need to keep clearing teh java and/or try some of the differnt urls to login, not consistent. In addtion not all of my program data is ther, very strange.Please help me to get the rigth gateway and DNS settings

my ntp.pool.org server was not updateing my time so I read some posts that indicated I needed to have the DNS the same as my router IP. I changed it and now cannot even connect to my isy,getting socket open failure even after clearing the java cache. Can you help me to solve both problems?

thanks Michel, It seems like variables would solve this issue any plans?
