I’m looking at robotic mowers. Has anyone tried this Node server? The husqvarna doesn’t come with a rain sensor, so it might be useful to use a weather station to send the mower back to the base.

Do I need to factory reset the dongle or can I just plug it in and "restore PLM" from the Polisy? The dongle was bought used. If I need to factory reset it, how would you do this? I'm not finding any manuals online. Only a quickstart guide which does not give instructions to factory reset.

So, I’m waiting on a Polisy to come in the mail. I have an ISY-994i (non z-wave). When I look at the UDI store, they mention only one expansion board for the ISY. It is listed as using Z Wave plus. That’s not the 500 board, right? When my Polisy comes in, I’m going to retask my 994i to use at our lake house and I probably want to start building that out immediately using z wave. Furthermore the z wave board is listed as “out of stock.” Link to z wave expansion

Any news on this? I'm trying to install polyglot v2 and I'm getting the same problem. I'm kind of at a crossroad as to where I want to go with home automation and I don't want to buy a polisy until I'm sure which direction I want to go.

The original remotelinc. Yes, the link was on a sticker in the battery compartment, but it has fallen off somewhere.

The sticker must have fallen off my remotelinc. I do not have the address now. Is there a way I can add it to my current ISY setup without the device address being known?

Would the reverse be possible? Ie. Will it be possible to control scenes in the ISY from a harmony ultimate remote?

Michel, you know my recent problem that I had... In the process, I think I may have discovered a bug in the previous official release. When i restored my new device with my previous backup, it did not restore my location. It had my location as los angeles and I know I had put my latitude and longitude in previously. As a result, it had me on pacific time when I am on central time.

I still only get outputs 65 and up showing on my elk module. Should I be seeing 1-64 as well?

All smiles here. 3.1.12 downloaded and installed fine. Module purchased, installed, and ready to play with(ahem, sorry. I meant ready to work on). Can't wait to get home from church tonight so that I can mess around with it.

Set scene levels not working in programs for me. Am I alone here? I thought there was some discussion on this issue earlier, but I can't seem to find it. It might be that I am trying to adjust scene levels that are triggered by a motion sensor. But I thought it was working a few beta's ago.

Michel, Will this affect upgrades as well? IOW, do we need to restore to 3.1.5 before we upgrade to 3.1.7?

Install went well. How do I test for the ELK bug? I know I've had it, but I don't know how to reproduce it.

licking my chops waiting for 3.1.6. PLEASE????

I also see a lot of weatherbug errors in my log.

Do you have a list of features for 3.1.6 beta yet and a round approximation of when we will get to test it? I have my elk disconnected and it already caused the police a trip to my house. HA!! Good thing I know the guy. He didn't mind checking the house while I was gone on vacation. But seriously, I'd love to get my ELK reconnected to my system. I haven't had a freeze since I disconnected them.

1. Yes, I have an ELK integrated with my ISY 2. I have no idea if I'm using a 2048 SSL certificate? How can I tell? 3. I have been having router issues so I recently went in and assigned static IP's to all my devices in the house and added a wireless access point to an area that I was having poor signal. Assigning static IP's seems to have helped my router a great deal. I downloaded Mac OS X Lion and Lion server to a computer in my house and have been working on configuring it. The logs said nothing other than just lack of activity from when the ISY hung until I reset it, when there is normally a lot of chatter.

I have come home to a frozen ISY the last two days. How can I troubleshoot this?

It was a power strip/surge supressor I had in that room. I have had it for many months and it just now started acting up. Unplugged it and it is communicating fine now. The thing that had me baffled is that I hadn't changed anything at all in the house in quite a while and this thing just popped up. That is why I assumed that it was the ISY update.

Install went well, but I've been having some difficulty with an icon relay switch (2876SB) since I upgraded to 3.1.4. ISY kept giving me an "unable to communicate with device" error. I just got a replacement switch today and replaced it thinking the switch had gone bad. Now, ISY will not add the new switch to my lighting. States it cannot remove existing links.

I think I found a bug in the irrigation module. I have the following program set up: If Time is 12:01:00 AM For 6 hours 10 minutes And Status 'Master BR KP / Irr Hold .MBK' is not on And 'Module Climate Irrigation Requirement' >=0.50 Then Set 'Irr - 1' On Wait 90 minutes Set 'Irr - 1 / 2-Lake' On Wait 90 minutes Set 'Irr - 1 / 3-South' On Wait 60 minutes Set 'Irr - 1 / 4-North' On Wait 30 minutes Set 'Irr - 1 / 5-Southeast' On Wait 54 minutes Set 'Irr - 1 / 6-By House' On Wait 15 minutes Set 'Irr - 1 / 7-Fower beds' On Irrigation - Cycle Complete Wait 21 minutes Set 'Irr - 1 / 7-Flower beds' Off Else - No Actions When the irrigation cycle ran last night, it cycled all the way through to zone 7. Then mysteriously the program retriggered itself. It should have been when the irrigation cycle was registering as complete and it was subtracting 0.5 from the "Irrigation Requirement." The new irrigation requirement should have been about 0.06 inches after the cycle ran the first time. I have since taken out the "For 6 hours 10 minutes" statement so the program should not retrigger itself from now on, but it seems that even though the new irrigation requirement would have been less than 0.5 inches, the change in the variable triggered the program to rerun with the old, preirrigation, variable. It could be that my programming skills suck, which they do.

I'm having an issue with the "irrigation requirement" in the irrigation module. Despite having no rain yesterday, no irrigation cycle running, and a water deficit yesterday of .287 inches and today of 0.43 inches, the irrigation requirement is showing up as 0. I actually have not seen the irrigation requirement say anything but 0. Is there something I'm missing?

I ran into a problem with the above program. When I would activate the Irr Hold.MBK button on the KPL, it would cause the program to trigger the "Else" statement and immediately turn off the button. I had to delete the "Else" statement and add another program to just turn off the button at 12:05 AM.

Here is what I've done. I'd just like to make sure I'm on the right track. I bought 4 rain gauges that can stick into the ground and measured and calculated how long each zone has to run in order to deliver 1/2 inch of water to the lawn. Some zones have more and different kinds of heads, so each zone run time came out quite different than the others. For instance, the ones with rotating spray nozzles that watered a larger area require up to 90 minutes of runtime to deliver 1/2 inch, whereas some of the zones that have the fan nozzles and cover a smaller area have smaller runtimes, some as low as 15 minutes. After all that was done, I set the "wait" times in the irrigation program to reflect the runtimes of each zone and changed the timeout interval in the EZRain device to be 2 minutes longer than the actual run time for that zone. That way, if there is a communication problem, the zone will only run 2 minutes longer than it was intended to run. I plugged into the irrigation module the soil absorption factor. I have sandy clay so I used 81%. I plugged in the water applied per irrigation to be 0.5 inches, and set my region to "Interior Plains." The ISY, I guess, calculated the allowable depletion to be 0.405 inches. For the program, I wrote the following program... If From 12:01:00AM For 6 hours And Status 'Master BR KP / Irr Hold.MBK' is not On And Module 'Climate' Irrigation Requirement >= 0.50 Then Set 'Irr - 1' On Wait 90 minutes Set 'Irr - 2' On Wait 90 minutes Set 'Irr - 3' On Wait 60 minutes Set 'Irr - 4' On Wait 30 minutes Set 'Irr - 5' On Wait 54 minutes Set 'Irr - 6' On Wait 15 minutes Set 'Irr - 7' On Irrigation Cycle - Complete Wait 21 minutes Set 'Irr - 7' Off Else Set Scene 'Irrigation Hold' Off The other code there is for a KPL button that I use when I want to purposefully hold an irrigation cycle for 24 hours. For instance when my chemical guy comes and sprays for weeds, I don't want to irrigate that day. The program will turn the button off if it is turned on and reset it daily. Does the "For" line in the If statement need to be there? Can I strike it? Also, I shortened the zone names above to save time typing it. Thanks.

Installed well and I am excited to see the ET data in Weatherbug. I'll be starting a thread in EZFlora to talk about this feature and how we should program for it. Would you make it a sticky please? And, yes, the new ISY browser page looks very nice. A welcome change. Now, if when we get the ELK module, I'll be completely happy. My wife may not see me for a few weeks.
