Thank you! Any chance the directions could be added into the user guide? Think it might help others who saw it as a selling point. Would also be good if the Polyglot web interface or IoX UI could do it so it's not command line driven, thanks again!

Just extra storage, like I said it’s overkill but might as well put the nvme I had lying around to lie around in some device

Sounds good, one of the selling points in their email to me to update was that you can add an ssd. Odd that there’s no real documentation or use cases for it.

So i popped in a 1TB NVME I had sitting around, how do I actually have the system use it? Granted it's complete overkill since I don't do fancy things with the Isy.. now Eisy, but it wasn't doing anything but collecting dust so figured I can pop it in. First I thought to go into configuration of IoX, not there. Then thought in Polyglot there would be a way to 'format' and at it. Nope. Are there instructions for it, because I couldn't find anything on the Eisy user guide I used to migrate off of ISY. Thank you!

Thanks, I can read python code but am not a programmer. In the past I usually look at peoples example code and piece together something that works for me. Its ugly and time consuming for sure.

Looks like home assistant can do what I'm looking for so going to install it tomorrow and tinker over the weekend

Thanks for getting me this far, I certainly didn't even think of running a website and the network resource kicks off the website that runs the script, thank you

Wow fantastic, yes I do have the network module, I use it to send on and off commands to other network plugs Would you possibly have an references for what network commands to use for SSH or where I could read up more on this being done? This sounds like the route I want to take. Thank you

Wow very interesting thanks, I guess I don't know much about rest commands. The question I have with this approach is how does the isy actually ssh into the rpi and execute the shutdown command? The other commands I understand with the then program commands. I just reread this and you said to initiate from the Pi. See that would actually be great but not sure how I would initiate it to run, cause if I have to ssh manually, I would just issue the shutdown command. Heck, I'd love to program something where if a button is pressed for 3 seconds, then the rpi would just shutdown, but i have no idea how to do that either.

Hi all, during quarantine I have built an arcade cabinet that runs on a rPi4 that the kids can use. Right now I have it set up that when a button is pressed on a keypad, it turns on the outlet that the cabinet is connected to and 'starts it all up'. Since the rPi4 is running linux, I was wondering if I could do something with programs where I would log in to the rPi, send a shutdown command, wait 10 seconds, then the outlet would turn off. Basically trying to figure out how to automate a safe shutdown of the cabinet. Is this possible? Is there a Nodeserver for interacting with linux OS's? Thank you

This is actually doing what I want to do. Just tried it and works perfectly, thank you!

Thanks oberkc. You are correct, I have 1 motion sensor and 1 light switch. The overall goal I want to accomplish is that the bathroom light turns on when someone walks in. The reason I want this is because the switch is inside the bathroom by the vanity, so guests usually get confused. I'm using the 99% to differentiate between when I click the switch, or when it's triggered by the motion detector. -what do you want to happen when you manually toggle the switch on? Off? === If I click it manually, I want it to stay on indefinitely unless is manually turn it off. If I turn it off manually, I don't want the motion to turn it back on right away. It's like I need a 5 second wait time so I turn it off and gives me time to get outside the bathroom -do you want thelights to turn on and off automaticaly? When and under what conditions do you want the lights to turn off? === I'd like them to turn on when someone walks into the bathroom. Then, if they walk out and forget to turn the lights off, i'd like the lights to turn off since no one is in the bathroom. However, if a person manually turns the lights on, then it's their responsibility to turn the light off (I have another program turning all lights off in the basement at a certain time if another sensor doesn't see motion). Hope that makes sense? I'm basically trying to get my insteon switch and bathroom lights to work like one of those cheap motion sensing switches

Hi all, I was reading the archived thread on using a motion sensor to turn on lights. Here's what I'd like to do: When someone walks into the bathroom I'd like the light to turn on. Everything is working pretty good except if I turn off the light walking out of the bathroom, the light turns back on (light switch is like in the bathroom by the vanity and not by the door). I have the motion sensor timeout set to 2 mins. I was thinking putting wait commands somewhere might help but it really didn't. Any thoughts? Thanks! I have 2 programs now: ---------------------------------- Basement Light - On - [ID 0017][Parent 000A] If 'Basement / Basement Bathroom' Status is Off And 'Basement / BasementBathroom.1 Motion' is switched On Then Set 'Basement / Basement Bathroom' On 99% Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ---------------------------------- Basement Light - Off - [ID 0018][Parent 000A] If 'Basement / Basement Bathroom' Status is 99% And 'Basement / BasementBathroom.1 Motion' Status is Off Then Set 'Basement / Basement Bathroom' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') -----------------------------------

@Michel Kohanim Excellent explanation, thank you very much for replying!

Hi Michel, so with event driven, does that mean that the program will look for that 'trigger' when it changes to 'false' and then run the program once? Or does it continually keep running the program since the motion sensor is now set at 'false' ? And if it keeps running it, what's the best way to prevent that, maybe put a wait timer in the after the 'run program' command ? Thanks again!
