Blue Iris, an NVR software program you install on a PC, can receive commands to do this via http. I don’t know about the dedicated NVR’s, but come on over to www.ipcamtalk.com Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I use it to run pool programs where it changes the speed of my pump so that my slide will come on and so that I can turn the pool off or on if were using it outside of the regularly scheduled run time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

www.ipcamtalk.com is the best surveillance site community. This should help get you started, but it is also in the IPCamTalk Wiki https://docs.google.com/file/d/1yAKfH5S62ehVsPruZKDxD7C95qTPCj-e/edit?usp=docslist_api&filetype=msword Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yay! Is it still a daughter board configuration? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks for the reply, but a power-cycle of the ISY solved the problem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Michel. However, it is still not working this morning here; do we need to do anything to kick start it? [emoji41] Good thing I still have manual control to fall back on, and it really makes you appreciate the “magical” experience of voice control. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s still not working here. Here is the message I am getting: “Sorry the device that X is connected to is not responding please check it’s network connection and power supply.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can ask Alexa to “dim [A scene]”, but it only works at some small percentage each time, so you may need to keep repeating it to get the desired effect. [emoji44] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have been experiencing similar issues over the last couple months mostly with LampLinc’s Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Whoops; I guess I missed that post! [emoji44] Thanks Benoit! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I admit I read this thread in pieces, but since we never got the thread title changed as I had suggested, and if UPGRADING is indeed as easy as you stated, maybe we should start a new thread? I guess it would be a thread specifically for upgrading from an older ISY skill to V3. We could outline these steps. I have been waiting to upgrade due to all the issues noted in his thread, and frankly I don’t need any more “techeadaches”, but again, I read the thread in pieces. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What happens after the 7-day full access trial? I didn’t see any pricing, but maybe I missed it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure if this helps, but did you see the thread (paraphrasing) “No devices discovered using V3”, which outlines some complications using V3. I really wish Sonos would have used a different name for this, like Sonos 1A (for Alexa)! [emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have been experiencing Lamplinc communication issues (all dual-band versions) in the last month but they are all devices that have continually been in service. My Insteon setup--including the Lamplincs--has been rock solid otherwise. When I saw the thread title I was thinking: "Hey, someone else has the same issue, so maybe it's not just me?" ...but I guess not. [emoji853] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, if only we had won the Battle of Quebec in 1775, you wouldn't have these problems. I will let you decide which problem is worse! [emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am not considering the ISY Z-Wave daughter card until they come out with the version that has Gen 5 (I think that is correct) support. Michel said it was awaiting certification, if memory serves. Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Since you're the original poster can you request for an admin to change the thread to something like "Alexa Smarthome Skill Version 3 Setup Tips"? This seems to be a little complicated to get this set up and running, given the interaction of the app and website, as noted by @kingwr Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I see a Wiki in your future! [emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Should this thread be renamed based on how the discussion has evolved? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And when it is taking longer and your patience is running out, yelling at Alexa releases the pressure, and she never gets offended! [emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like the idea of using Z-Wave outlets as repeaters; that makes sense. Any idea if you could still plug in a dual-band LampLinc into a Z-Wave outlet and not run into any RF interference between the two devices? I am curious how you settled Cooper from the various Z-Wave outlet manufacturers, and which specific model you are using? I don't have any Z-Wave devices yet, nor does my ISY have the Z-Wave module, but also like those RF RGB lighting solutions like Fibaro. Thanks. Mark

I admit I did not do a lot of research before settling on an Insteon / ISY solution, and am surprised to learn of these power line communication issues. I was aware of the potential fallacy of the wireless portion due to interference that can plague all RF communications, but did not realize the power line and RF portion were so inter-dependent. I don't have any communication issues to my knowledge, but is it safe to assume that if the ISY does not provide notification of any communication errors, that none exist? I don't have any FilterLinc's, and am even bridging the AC phases via the wireless; although that is an assumption on my part. Thanks. Mark

Here is my generic (possibly ignorant, [emoji57]) take: Insteon affords possibly better communication, due its dual-band nature? My shields are up! [emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have the irrigation and climate modulesI followed the Wiki during setup, and was not aware that it automatically adjusts the sprinkler zone times; only that it decides whether or not to irrigate based upon EvTO and the parameters set by the user. Would you please elaborate? Thanks. Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
