One thing that would be helpful to know that you didn’t mention - what toggle settings did you select for these buttons? Not sure exactly what you want for the fans but perhaps you want for A and C is: A - non toggle on Scene settings: - fan on - C button off C - non toggle on Scene settings: - fan off - A button off How are your scenes for A and C configured?

Hi Teken, Do you have a link to that flat circuit-board-looking sensor and/or the others? I like that flat one. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Glad it’s working. Do the same DHCP reservation for any other devices you wish to control with the ISY or other. For example, network resource commands to an AV receiver - make sure the AVR always has the same IP address. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m no expert here but I feel the need to jump in and say that I understand why this feature does not exist. In addition to the reasons already mentioned I didn’t see anything about how to handle dimmed states (or, how did you handle that in your code in another Insteon controller?) . It’s one thing to consider ON /OFF and another to consider what if the local dimmer was used and it’s within x% of the scene-defined level. Is it on or off then? I think with ISY as capable as it is, you’ll either need to write a program to track a handful of devices’ local control as suggested and/or have a program that triggers a variable whenever a scene controller is changed and similarly track any programs that trigger the scene using (the same?) variable. It’s not clear to me the use case and what you are trying to accomplish so maybe I’m wrong. That said, I would just suck it up and write some programs once rather than expect the ISY to be constantly guessing at the status of a 100+ member scene. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Most routers will allow you to assign an IP address to a device so that it won’t change. Google your router and DHCP reservation. Usually it’s best to do this in the router. Don’t configure the ISY as static IP. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Could be many things but need to ask - Have you confirmed that your router is currently assigning the same IP address to the ISY that it did when you configured mobilinc? Is DHCP reservation properly configured? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Glad someone found this useful! The programs can be modified easily to not require an Elk. The main purpose of the framework is to prevent hitting a simple GDO toggle two or more times in quick succession which would cause the door to react unexpectedly, and also to alert to a failed command.

Change “is sunset” to from sunset to sunrise next day. Edit: probably also want to be using status not control for the kitchen lights 1-4. Let us know if that works. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Aha! That makes sense. Thanks! PS, anyone know where the OP is? I think we scared him away [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know in hospitals and noticed in some new residential construction the outlets have the ground oriented up. My understanding is this is considered safer since in a “whoops” situation you’re more likely to touch the ground than the hot. When I bought outlets recently I noticed the writing was oriented to be right side up with the receptacle upside down (IMO it’s upside down). So I guess things are always changing. I know my Elk transformers for example would not appreciate that setup as they’re designed to hang down with the ground at the bottom. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m glad you guys now agree [emoji12] Still waiting to hear the color for the OP. But if the wood is dark brown, perhaps regardless of trim, I’m staring at 18-2 brown thermostat wire that has Edit: small black writing on it. Far from revolutionary but cheap and easy to find. Personally I’d find a way to conceal this wiring project though. Edit: it has black writing on one side. Of course. But one would lay it flat anyway and put the “writing on the wall”.

Accepted here too on similar terms. Assuming bet was placed forum-wide you’re giving good odds then LOL Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for this thread guys. So much for us to think about. The average user will pay it no mind but I feel this is really important stuff. Reading this reminds me how little most users know / are able to configure and maintain. It’s so easy to plug new decides in these days without thinking what they are really doing. I’ve forbidden any internet-connected “hot mics” here until I better understand... Cameras have always given me pause. Here I keep them outside where I don’t expect privacy. Thanks All and Happy New Year!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. Good point. That’s why I use a true relay. Also avoids the quite perilous ALL ON “feature” of the iolinc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t know about your particular fireplace but often there is a 120v outlet in the bay under the fireplace - in the door with the valves where you push the button to light the pilot and set the gas volume. If you are / were willing to run 120, Do you want to run wires for a thermostat? I’m not a huge fan of the insteon thermostats but I did something similar with my fireplace here and it requires a power supply and relay which I think starves the gremlins that live there [edit: in the insteon thermostat]...

Have you considered WiFi options that could perhaps use network resources? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Someone here mentioned before that they say turn on privacy or turn off privacy which I thought was a clever work around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My understanding is this is possible in v5? If running v4 (I am) then I believe it’s too cumbersome since you would need to check every lights status from 0 to 100% and then stuff that into a variable. I tried to do the same thing here so if I’m wrong someone please chime in! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

LOL. Thought about gettin into the install game but this makes it clear to me why I only do this DIY [emoji851] Two years okay but can’t wait 2 days+?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Clever! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll venture a guess - "Insteon ALL ON event resulting in user pinned between garage door and table saw?" Maybe table saw legs straddled the garage automatic stop sensors? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Please post if this problem continues or not. The only logical explanation I can think of is the ISY restarted. If I recall, there was a note in that program set that a missed heart beat may take 36 hours to clear. I've received these notifications after a restart. Also, in my experience, I pulled all the batteries from my leak sensors and reinstalled them at nearly the same time. Now the heartbeats are nearly in sync. So if all batteries were installed at the same time I believe the heartbeats could be synced. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What programs are you using to send the notifications? These or some variation? http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/11566-leak-sensors-a-suggested-complete-program-package/ Did your ISY have power toggled and restart? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Smartass?

Here's what I have in the body of the NR to turn the lights blue: {"effect":"none", "on":true, "bri":255, "sat":255, "hue":46920, "transitiontime":5}
