OmegaQuest, What ISY version?

Is Bath Master part of the sf Bath Master scene? If so then the If is re-evaluating when the scene is turned on. Any change to Bath Master (since you are using the Status of that device) will cause the program to re-evaluate during the wait and run the program False.

I am having an intermittent network problem. I relocated the ISY and plm to the garage. Ran new cat5e. No troubles for a couple of hours then the ISY would report -100 loss of network. According to the error log it would loose network then reconnect sometimes rapidly. I thought maybe I had a bad port on the switch. Changed ports a couple of times, no help. Then I plugged the ISY directly into the router, no help. I ran another cat5, no help. I noticed that when the red light does flash on the ISY the 2 green lights on the rear for the network cable are still lit and the one is flashing occasionally while the red light flashes. I bought a network cable tester and both new cables tested good. It also seems that way more errors are produced when it is cold. I brought the unit back into the house and ran it for over an hour with no errors. Put it back in the garage and it ran for 30 minutes then produced the network error.The ISY has lived in the house for the last couple of years and that room stays between 75 and 80 degrees year round. At this point I don't know if it is the length of the cat5 (<80ft) or what. I was carefull not to route the cable near any power wires. I am normally a very good troubleshooter but I am stumped at this point. I am looking for suggestions. Thanks, Tim

What ISY version are you on and what version is the KPL? Does the ISY control the LED brightness of any other of your devices? Tim

Others have also used an old discarded wall-wart as a load to drain down the trickle voltage. Tim

Hello neupane00, If you have 99i Pro you can turn off the RF devices update button at the top of the console. You can drop the RL button into the scene with the other devices, after they all are linked then put the RL in linking mode and press the RF button again to write the links to the RL. If you do not have the pro version you can add all of the devices to the scene, once they are all written to, put the RL into linking mode then add the RL to the scene. You could add the RL at the same time with all the other devices into the scene without putting the RL into link mode but the ISY will attempt to link to the RL which will then make the process longer and in the end the RL button will have the green flag next to it. At that time you could put the RL into linking mode then right click on the node and select "write updates." Tim

Hello GreyFox, What rev. of the ISY are you running? Tim

Hi Wayne, Are you on 3.1.16? There was some sort of work done on both state and integer variables in this new beta release. There was also some work done regarding ACK's in less than ideal comm. situations. Also, just a question. Why is the first program looking for the status of Off for the humidifier-Relay but in the second program it is looking for the variable value of the humidifier? Was this changed in an attempt to get to the root of the problem? I was just curious. Thanks, Tim

Brian H, I wonder if it may depend on screen size. Mine show the same thing but if you widen the column PM appears. It may have something to do with letter spacing. In other words all of the PM next scheduled runtimes for me occur on this evening Thu.... where as the AM next scheduled are for Fri.... The F is closer to the left column line than the T is. garybixler, Have you tried re-downloading the update from UDI site?

Ditto. Thanks UDI, Tim

Hello gtrotter4, I am sure there are a number of different ways to accomplish what you want. I have one example as an alternative to having the cabinet lights turning on or off when switching the coffee on and off. One issue with it might be that turning the coffee on or off is no longer defined by Fast On turns the coffee on and Fast Off turns the coffee off. You will see what I mean: Coffee On: If ( Control 'Kitchen / Under Cabinets' is switched Fast On Or Control 'Kitchen / Under Cabinets' is switched Fast Off ) And Status 'Kitchen / Coffee' is Off Then Set 'Kitchen / Coffee' On Set 'Kitchen / Coffee' (Beep Duration) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') In this case if the cabinet light is On for instance and the coffee is off, press cabinet switch Fast On. If the cabinet light is off and the coffee is off then press the cabinet switch Fast Off. I added a single beep to the coffee device to confirm the coffee was turned on but the beep could be added to the cabinet switch instead. Note: The parens. is an “And†and the first “Control ‘Kitchen/Under…..†is an “Or†To turn the coffee off a similar program is used: Coffee Off: If ( Control 'Kitchen / Under Cabinets' is switched Fast On Or Control 'Kitchen / Under Cabinets' is switched Fast Off ) And Status 'Kitchen / Coffee' is On Then Set 'Kitchen / Coffee' Off Set 'Kitchen / Coffee' (Beep Duration) Set 'Kitchen / Coffee' (Beep Duration) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') If the coffee is on and the cabinet lights are on then Fast On will turn the coffee off. Otherwise if the lights are off then a Fast Off will turn the coffee Off, followed by 2 beeps for confirmation. Also note that if, say, the lights are on and the coffee is on and you want to turn both off then you could press Fast Off which will turn both off. Likewise if the lights are off and coffee is off and you wanted to turn both on then a Fast On would turn both On. The only problem I can foresee would be if your comm. is not good, there is a possibility of the programs malfunctioning due to using the status of the device we are switching. I tested these two programs out for a couple of minutes and they worked fine for me. Tim

Humm. Thats odd. I know that when a variable is created it will not show up in a programs drop down box until the new variable is saved, but did you rename it or make any changes to the variable without saving it? Tim

When you close the front door the program turns false and cancels the wait. Break the program in two and have this program Run the second program which contains the wait and the variable. Tim

Hi Michel, By chance, any updates from SmartLabs on this 2413s issue... Thanks, Tim

A search of "Kaspersky" turned these links up: http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2049&hilit=Kaspersky http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=1162 Hopefully one of these links will help with a solution.

I remember reading a post, that I have not been able to find, where the OP was going to set up the motion sensor in occupancy mode and create a program to increment a variable by +1 every time the motion detected motion within a given amount of time. Once the variable reached a certain level another program would turn the light on. If that level was not reached in a given amount of time the variable would reset. Sounds good in theory, don’t know if they ever implemented/refined it or not though. My feeling is if I walk into a dark room I want the light to turn on now not after multiple motion senses. My laundry room is the main path from inside the house out into the garage/workroom where I am most of the time. I had the motion trigger the light every time someone entered that room. I soon changed the programming to require manually turning on the light then one minute after motion stopped the light would turn off because most of the time the light was not needed for just passing thru. That works great for that room and I don’t miss the light turning on automatically at all. However in all of the other rooms in the house the respective lights will turn on when entering that room and stay on x amount of time once the motion stops or the light is turned off manually. This setup has worked best for us out of the countless different ways I have tried. But everyone is different…..

I have used both in the past without any issues. The newest rev Insteon can be set for sending an On command with every motion detection which would be better for occupancy sensing. Not so sure it would be good for power line comm. though, but I haven't heard of any complaints.

Hi Michel, LeeG Have you heard anything from SmartLabs regarding this issue with the 2413s? I was not able to add a RL (not RL2) nor a couple of brand new from SH Icon SL Relays. I was able to add a couple of older Icon SL Dimmers though. I have since put the old 2412s back with the ISY to run things but I am not sure whether to send the 2413s back because it is defective or quite what to do with it at this point. As always, Thanks, Tim

Welcome Aboard!!! I just wanted to make sure you are getting either a 2412S or 2413S plm with/for the ISY. It requires either one to operate. If you are going to use a 2413S you will also need the wall-wart power supply for the ISY. It is not required when using the 2412S. Tim

Is it possible the program evaluated false which would also give the same run time as finish time?

No, status change will cause the program to evaluate. The program as you set up should work fine

No, no Youtube videos.

Hi Brian, have done 4 or 5 of the older ones with the white relay. Have not had a need to do the newer ones yet, but I am pretty sure it could be done. I could look into it if your interested. I have done the older lamplincs and new lamplicks with dual band and without. kingwr, not that I am aware of. I did it on my own. Tim Edit:Brian, I take that back I have done the newer appliancelincs as well. I didn't look deep enough into my mods file. So in answer to your question yes I have done both.

Hi kingwr, Yes the icon appliancelinc has local control as well as do the lamplincs. Unfortunantly disabling local control is a bit more involved than cutting a wire. It requires removing two chip resistors. If you are no stranger to a soldering pencil and SMT and dont mind voiding your warranty it is possible. I have mod'ed my lamplincs for the undercabinet LED lighting and works great. Also mod'ed appliancelincs for Xmas stuff too. Tim

Yes, you should be able to change it to: If Control I/O Linc is Switched On And Control I/O Linc is not Switched Off
