  1. Assuming the switch is still hooked up, you would want to remove the devices from the scenes they are included in included in, then delete the device no longer in use. If the switch is not still hooked up it would be best to use a pigtail cord so that you can hook it up and then remove the links. Don't worry too much about what the ISY updates, it knows what it needs to do.
  2. MrBill replied to hbdude's topic in Insteon
    The insteon PLM will be back in stock soon. As of November they are projected for March. If you missed the news Insteon closed it's doors last April. A new owner bought the company in June and shipping resumed late summer. Below is the graphic that was shared with the Insteon community in November about product availability. There are also repair options if you have one that went bad.
  3. MrBill replied to PapaBear's topic in ISY994
    @PapaBear if you power cycled your comcast modem and that is also your router, you may need to power cycle your UD device. The IP address UD was using may not still be available, you may need to force it to get a new IP address. In the future don't power cycle comcast when you update a UD device, it shouldn't be needed.
  4. i've never seen one.. I just leave stuff out. I was surprised the night i discovered timer language can be quite terse.
  5. off topic chatter: When setting timers you can omit a lot.... Try "Alexa, 5 minutes"
  6. But are you turning on the SCENE with Alexa association (same for programs)? Turning on one of the controllers via alexa/program will not turn on the scene. The scene itself must be told to turn on. the "Controller" designation only applies when the switch or button is operates locally.
  7. when you clear the cache are you checking the box "Installed Applications and applets" if not, please try that.
  8. That might work but it's a band-aid, and not the correct solution. the first time start.jnlp run it should install an icon on the desktop that calls javaws the properties of the icon should look something like: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_351\bin\javaws.exe" -localfile -J-Djnlp.application.href=https://isy.universal-devices.com/launcher/isy.jnlp "C:\Users\bill\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\14\7f87040e-61f20201"
  9. MrBill replied to SHM's topic in UD Portal
    The portal Node Server doesn't support iBeacon's, only geofences. I haven't really seen support for iBeacons.. I thought mobilinc but on a 1 minute tour of the mobilinc.com website didn't see iBeacon's prominently advertised.
  10. Turn on the scene that includes the button. Turning on the device directly won't control other members of the scene.
  11. You need curly brackets { } instead of parenthesis ( ). Yes ${sys.time12} is a 12 hour clock with AM and PM. Check this wiki page for other choices.
  12. You must set the ramp rate on the right, then push the button "Ramp Rate" on the left. Not intuitive at all.
  13. MrBill replied to pjjameso's topic in IoX Support
    I'd also use the program search function and look for another version of the program.
  14. MrBill replied to pjjameso's topic in IoX Support
    that should work assuming 'ELK / Jameson' Alarm Status is Entrance Delay is Active is valid... (I don't have ELK). you can always break into 2 programs which might help spot the issue. Alarm Entrance Delay - [ID 0023][Parent 0001] If 'ELK / Jameson' Alarm Status is Entrance Delay is Active Then Run Program2 (if) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ---- Program 2 (Must be DISABLED) Alarm Entrance Delay - [ID 0023][Parent 0001] If From 5:00:00PM To Sunrise (next day) Then Set 'Welcome Home' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Reminder: disabled programs still run when run by another program, they won't be triggered by IF conditions however.
  15. @Clarence Martin if you have the pro version on 994 or any version on Polisy/eisy you will have these two buttons on the admin console ribbon: you can use the left one to pause automatically writting to hardwired devices. the right one is the same thing for wireless devices. When scene programming it's best to press both so they are "deselected" or greyed out. this will cause the changes to be batched by the admin console... press the left button again to enable to cause the batched changes to be written when you are done making scene changes. If you have unwritten battery device changes queued that will also slow changes, when writing scenes. do you see any 1011 icons like this (or greyed out) hanging around, especially on wireless devices? those will cause problems when writing scenes and make it take longer.
  16. One issue is that most don't realize there were 3 differnt firmware versions for the leak sensor. Here's a post that describes the differences:
  17. right click the program name and choose Copy to clipboard and paste (ctrl-v) into a forum post, and let's see what the program does.
  18. You can stop all programs by creating a folder condition on the top folder in your program tree. Create one that will never be true, like any integer variable you have = -99999999 or something like that, then . Also check the error log for clues as to what's going on.... Tools > Error log.
  19. When using Percents i've never mixed in "Turn on" with the command... I just say "Alexa, set X to Y" (you can actually omit the word "Percent"). Example, "Alexa, Set Lamp one to 30"
  20. you likely need two temp programs to establish a hysteresis. If Temp > 37 then Enable Program Gen Sump2 Run Program Gen Sump2 If Temp < 36 then Disable Program Gen Sump2 Set 'Generator Sump' Off Also note that other programs that are not disabled may be behaving differently than you're expecting and may interfere. So be careful what's in the tree, If statements are event driven and operate differently than new to the platform expect. You'll note in my examples I've done two things enable and disable the schedule and ensure that it gets enforced. In the first program I'm not entirely certain the run line is needed, it may not be but it won't hurt either. In the Second program if you disable the schedule while the pump is running the pump will continue to run forever, so if the temp drops we also need to turn off the pump. A possible improvement to the second program is: If Temp < 36 AND Program 'Gen Sump2' is false then Disable Program Gen Sump2 Which will instead will wait until the pump turns off based on the schedule if the temp falls below 36 while it's running. You can also probably run these programs to a lower temp, I usually don't worry about freezing above around 28 or so. ---- Finally when posting programs to the forum, please don't post screenshots. Instead Right-click the program name in the tree and choose the last item in the context menu "Copy to Clipboard", then Paste (Ctrl-V) that into your forum post. This allows those of us helping you with programming to Copy your program and paste them into our response and then make changes. it's much faster to write responses to you. Thank you.
  21. Sounds like mismatched firmware and UI versions... check help About... what version numbers show for each? they should be identical.
  22. @Kentinada if you keep your admin console open 24/7 then I suppose not. Personally I only open the admin console when I need it... at some point in the past I had trouble leaving it open alot--but that was many firmwares ago.. Edit to add: the selection only applies when the Event Viewer window is open. it's not logging at level 3 in the background... the window must be open.
  23. Use the place to connect two low voltage wires, but only use the terminals for the buttons not the other ones for the safety beam.😁 In all seriousness tho, not every new garage door opener will accept a momentary contact anymore. Some such as newer Liftmaster are expecting an electronic control and if you want to use a momentary button you need an interface for that, or you need to solder to an existing wall controls actual button.
  24. Those programs are hard to read and I think missing a few characters (also not everyone has word, or will download docx files--- virus threats spread by word files are real). When you have the need to post programs please right click the program name, choose the last item-- copy to clipboard -- then paste the program into a forum message (right click in the post and choose PASTE or simply click into the post and type CTRL-V). I think you must have some scene's involved as well. The top two control programs don't seem to have anything to activate them, they aren't called by the lower two programs. Missing info, need complete picture. as @oberkc mentions you may also have some scene's involved. You also seem to be doing something non-standard. here's one commonly used method, see also the ISY Cookbook page 368 (pdf page 391).
  25. @Ricka2 are you using Windows or Mac? Mac users often need to download the admin console from the ISY itself and store it on the desktop. http://IP.ADDR.OF.ISY/admin.jnlp (you'll need to clear the java cache again before starting, also get rid of any existing files named start.jnlp or admin.jnlp beforehand).
