Buy smokes from Kiddie and use their notification device.

Not directly but if there is an API anything is possible.

This device looks like it will work with any manufacturer of smokes. https://kidde59-px.rtrk.com/?utm_source=OnlineMarketing&utm_medium=ppc&utm_campaign=Primary I've been looking to wire up my smokes to the hard wired relay monitor, but this makes it plug an play. Just ordered one.

I use a 200m geofence with MLHD to open my garage door, turn on lights, disarm my alarm. Works great. Door fully open just as I zip in the driveway. My neighbors don't have a clue how I do it. I enable the ignore location notification if the phone is locked to prevent someone else from obtaining access. Just bought 3 Geohopper iBeacons and plan on participating in MLHD iBeacon beta testing. Should be fun.

I just installed a Type 2 whole house surge protector in my breaker panel. Since its at the source side I have not seen any Insteon reliability issues. It snapped right in my SquareD panel like a double pole breaker. Cost around $60. Took less than 10 minutes to install. http://m.homedepot.com/p/Square-D-Homeline-SurgeBreaker-Surge-Protective-Device-Takes-2-Load-Center-Spaces-HOM2175SB/100182531

I have SecureCams from TrendNet. The units I bought have built in motion detection and a GPIO interface which I have wired up to an IOLinc or my Elk. The cameras have a web interface and you can send HTTP commands, but I use the GPIO.

Most routers allow one to assign an IP address based on the client MAC address. Thus allows one to leave the ISY in DHCP mode and guarantee a fixed IP address. Important for port forwarding.

Try 255.0.0.0

1. Change your router subnet mask to 0.0.0.0 2. Use a network scan tool like Snap by 9Bit Labs, LLC https://appsto.re/us/8YWHr.i to find ISY on your network 3. Don't ask how I know. LOL

If you are like me and don't have the time or desire to invest in creating and maintaining a custom app solution, both eKeypad Pro and MobiLinc HD for iOS are excellent. Both get you up an running in less than 2 minutes.

Most modern garage door openers will drive the door closed if it detects someone trying to force it open. Also the weakest link is the quick release handle which a burglar can open in 6 seconds with a coat hanger. There are complicated contraptions you can buy to thwart this method of entry or you can simply use Ty-wraps to secure it. Also remove the handle from the rope.

I've only have 35 programs. 12 of which are for IR control which I don't use. I do most everything thru scenes which is where the ISY shines.

I use MLHD for iOS which supports both Elk and variables.

I never understood SH producing the TouchLinc when you can do so much more with an iOS or Android device. I guess that's why it's discontinued.

I'm not going to waste my time trying to explain why it is a bad idea to auto close a garage door. I have already covered it in other threads.

Mobilinc HD or eKeypad Pro. Both have sub topics on this forum to ask questions.

I put a deck box on my front porch and a label on my door bell to place packages in the box. Placed a 9V battery operated motion sensor in the box to let me know when it is opened. The AA battery operated door/window magnetic sensors don't have enough TX power to pass thru stucco over CBS exterior walls reliably. Not to mention I always seem to break the magnetic switch off the PCB when using a coin to replace the battery. You would think SH would mount the magnetic switch on the opposite side from the pry slot, but then they would sell less Triggerlincs Keeps packages 1. Out of sight 2. Out of elements When the box is opened, a program turns on the exterior lights, sends me a SMS message, and takes a picture. Works great! Especially now that I have the package delivery personnel trained to put packages in the box. I also have a doorbell sensor to alert me and send a pic.

You could have inferred which, but for clarity iOS

Here are some examples: - Initializing the geofence variable INIT value prevents an ISY or a phone reboot from triggering the program when you are at home. - The programs called in the THEN section are disabled to prevent them from triggering independently. - I also changed the MLHD setting to disable geofence actions when the iPhone is screen locked. Wouldn't want someone who stole/found my phone to enter my home. Arrive If $iPhone_5_Limetree is 1 Then $iPhone_5_Limetree Init To 1 Set Scene 'Exterior' On Set Scene 'Home' On Run Program 'Home - Disarm' (If) Run Program 'Home - Open Garage' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Leave If $iPhone_5_Limetree is 0 Then $iPhone_5_Limetree Init To 0 Run Program 'Home - Arm' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Mobilinc and ekeypad

1. Stop whining 2. Download the android SDK 3. Develop your own app 4. Hope you tested on sufficient disparate form factors and OS versions 5. Try to get users to actually pay for it 6. Hope you can recoup your investment of time and resources

Do you feel better now? It's not healthy to keep all that bottled up. You paid for a version of the app with its current feature set. There is no guarantee that a developer will provide new features, or make it available for free. Last time I checked, ISY Zwave is still beta. As a company with limited resources, I can understand why Wes would not want to keep chasing a moving target until Zwave is out of beta. Not to mention it is well documented that android fragmentation consumes more resources than other platforms.

eKeypad Pro or Mobilinc HD? If you are using the same Apple ID, you can check the App Store on your device and navigate to Updates > Purchased > Not on this device. Then scroll thru the apps and download again.

The bigger problem is how to keep the damn nats and mosquitoes attracted to the display light from getting under the protective clear plastic. The people who design these things clearly, pun intended, don't test them outside of a controlled lab.
