Sorry to horn in but I have been trying to do this as well. The issue I see is the port number. From firefox I can set a variable using the portal url with no port number but in the ISY network resources I do not see how to send without specifying a port number.

A friend sent me the new Denon HEOS 7 http://usa.denon.com/us/heos-7-large-home-speaker-system. Got it set up yesterday and was impressed with it. Sounds good and is quick to control via ios or android phone/tab. I was wondering if anyone has checked it out and is controlling it from the ISY yet? Thanks, Tim

Technically it will pass insteon signals just fine. I used one (actually it is still in my panel). I found that the signal isnt as strong on the phase it passes to especially if there are more signal suckers on that side but it does work. Depends on the size of the house, distance of wires and amount of signal suckers. I would try it, worst case you have to add powered phase couplers. Tim

JMC, once you update to the latest fw you may have more optional stations to choose from as I did. I live in a small town and there was a personal weather station available to me within a 1/2 mile away. Bob, thanks for your help and suggestions. I ordered a 0105C from Acurite and was able to find a discount coupon online which gave an addition % off the entire order on top of the sale price and free shipping. Total cost was like $105. I decided to go with Meteobridge software and ordered the TP-Link they recommended. I have had the system up and running and supplying data to weatherbug, wunderground, pws for me and a couple of others now for over a week without issues. Currently I too am waiting for NOAA registration to go thru. Thanks, Tim

To me the benefit of using from/to is for simple programs such as: If From 10:00PM to 6:00AM Then Turn something on Else Turn something off The program only evaluates twice, once at 10 and once at 6. Once you start adding other conditions to the IF things get more complicated.

You nailed it on the head. At 10AM every day the program evaluates and if 'IsSabbathOrHoliday is false or IsOnVacation is true the program will evaluate fase and turn the lights off. Breaking the program in 2 would be the answer. IF FROM 10:00:00AM TO 4:00:00PM (same day) And Program 'IsSabbathOrHoliday' is True And Program 'IsOnVacation' is False Then Set Scene 'Links / Fixtures / Main Floor / Dining Room Lights' Activate Else IF Time is 4:00:00PM And Program 'IsSabbathOrHoliday' is True And Program 'IsOnVacation' is False Then Set Scene 'Links / Fixtures / Main Floor / Dining Room Lights' Deactivate Else

I don't find it hard to believe that this can't be recreated. I can't even recreate it on my own machine at this point. I agree, I have not had this problem either.

While I do not have a Mac and don't know much about it nor do I use iTunes via the ISY, you might look at MPD (Music Player Daemon). I don't know for sure it will work for you but it is pletty light weight so it doesn't consume a lot of resources, at least on my pogoplug. I run mpd on my pogoplug (running Archlinux) which uses a play list containing 3 or 4 internet stations (that I selected) that I can cycle thru with my X10 remote (via programs on the ISY). But that playlist can also contain music from your computer or server as well. Good luck! Tim

evilpete, I was updated to 2.0.22 and had them update the radio firmware as well. The programs are now working as expected! Thank you for the help and for sharing your work! Tim

Ha ha ha, and stretches over many many pages and years as I recall. Tim

Thanks very much for the info. Looks like I have some things to think about. Tim

Bob, Is this the acurite model you have? http://www.acurite.com/all/acurite-professional-weather-center-with-aculink-remote-monitoring-weather-alerts-temperature-humidity-wind-rain-01055.html It looks like they bundled a bridge with it. If it will work it looks like a great deal. Does the bridge look like yours. How long have you had your system and are you happy with it? I am thinking of getting one and running your script on a pogoplug. Thanks, Tim

Thanks, done. I was under the impression that the upgrades were automatic as it was updated with the new gui a while back. My firmware is 2.0.17. Hopefully they are quick with their responses. Thanks again, tim

Hello evilpete, Thank you for the code. I copied the code to my pogoplug running Archlinux. Went thru and changed the ip addresses to my eagles address and the same for the mac id in the various scripts. Dont understand how the setup.py is supposed to work (or if it is supposed to be run). Maybe you could give a brief outline. When I run meter_status.py I get demand value and current value displayed but then it errors out with: Wed Mar 12 15:03:53 2014 : Demand = 0.573 Kw Amps = 2.388 Traceback (most recent call last): File "./meter_status.py", line 102, in main() File "./meter_status.py", line 28, in main print_currentsummation(r['CurrentSummation']) File "./meter_status.py", line 55, in print_currentsummation time_stamp = to_epoch_1970(cs['TimeStamp']) KeyError: 'TimeStamp' I do have python 2.7 installed and the scripts are pointing to it. Can you think of what dependency I might be missing. Oh, and when I run plot_power.py it seems to lock up the eagle. ('Unexpected error:', ) Error replystr = 0x7fffffffffffffff 0x13500100c2e2bd 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 Traceback (most recent call last): File "./plot_power.py", line 135, in main(reagle) File "./plot_power.py", line 29, in main print_data(eg) File "./plot_power.py", line 59, in print_data rh = eg.get_history_data() File "/usr/home/shipley/Projects/Eagle/RainEagle/EagleClass.py", line 328, in get_history_data raise RainEagleResponseError("get_history_data : Null reply") RainEagle.EagleClass.RainEagleResponseError: get_history_data : Null reply I am sure I am doing something wrong, hopefully you can help. Thanks, tim

Anyone using "nist1-sj.ustiming.org" (San Jose, CA) for your NTP Server (time sync) be aware that they are having sync errors so you might want to change to a different server. http://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi Tim

Thanks so much Mike, that's what I was afraid of. I wish I had a school close by. Tim

IndyMike, You mentioned monitoring 3 airports, by any chance was KMYV one of them? So far today, as I intermittently checked on the rain today, WB has been reporting rain from that site. Just wondered if it was one of the three. Thanks, Tim

Yes, too much traffic in my opinion. I have heard of some using a red lens on the kpl button to catch their attention. It would be a nice feature if Smartlabs were to add a flash function for the buttons though.

My first though was to create a second program and integer variable: If From sunset To sunrise Then Set integer variable 1 Else Set integer variable 0 Then replace the from sunset to sunrise in your program with the integer variable: If $myiphone home 1 And integer variable 1 Then .......

jesry, According to the wiki http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Replacing/Formatting_an_SD_Card 16GB is max. Tim

Same weird rain today reporting for me as well. An hour ago ISY showed .6" rain today from KBAB (which seemed low for today). I changed station to KLHN and KAUN to see if the rain reported was any different. ISY reported 0" for both. Changed back to KBAB (the original station) and ISY is now reporting 0 inches. Just checked again and its still 0 inches. Thanks, Tim edit. just checked the wb feed website and rain today shows N/A whereas KLHN is showing 0.00 inches. Must be WB issue...still.

That is awesome! Be thankful it was a device you could easily put a filterlinc on. The biggest offender in my house is a 2 year old clothes dryer which I cannot easily filter. Great job tracking it down! Tim

You could reset the device but then you would have to run Restore In the ISY which may put the switch back to the dim level. I would adjust it manually until things get settled out. TFitz...no not me.

EricK, The LED brightness deficiency you are seeing could be caused by a couple of things, a difference in the firmware between the two different models of switches or actual property differences between the two LED’s themselves. My money is on the latter. Back when I was installing all the switches in my house I had the same trouble with some of the switches installed in 2 and 3 gang boxes, some of the LED’s were brighter when dimmed to a lower level. I even had some where there was an actual color difference (very slight but when mounted together it was very obvious). I learned early on to hook up the switches on my bench and test them together when they were to be installed together. I even go so far as to do all the programming before they are even installed now. I know it doesn’t help you in this case but maybe in the future. As far as the brightness being dimmer when set to 255 by the ISY I believe there were a few posts regarding this within the last month or so and if memory serves I think there will be a fix in the next rev., but LeeG or Michel can better answer that question. For now you may be able to manually dim or brighten the LED at the switches themselves to get them to a more equal level. You will have to check the owners manual for the switches. Tim

The ISY does have trigger reverse option for the iolink, however if you have the nightly query program it will change the status of the sensor and may trigger any programs you have for the garage door. I would get the 3 wire door sensor if it were me.
