I was wondering how the motion sensors have worked for others in steamy situations like bathrooms? Many in our family don't always turn on the fan when in the shower and so the bathroom tends to get quite steamy. Also I noticed the list of places that the instructions recommend against locating a motion sensor and steam is on the list. Thanks,

I agree with the idea too of the pump handling it with a cutoff. Then you don't need the sensor at all.

One of the IO Links with a sensor of some kind might work. I looked over Smarthome's list of sensors and did not see one there, so you may have to look for one on the web. Thanks,

One thing you might consider doing is giving your ISY a static IP address. That will help with network IP conflicts with the ISY and save you time in the future. Assign a Static IP Address Thanks,

So if the router causes the connection to be reestablished it does not request the hostname, but when the ISY reestablishes the connection then it does. I have to say other devices on the network sometimes show hostnames and sometimes do not for my setup. Like right now I have 8 things connected to my router and none of them show a hostname except for my iPhone. Thanks,

I was wondering about this too. On both 2.7.15 and 2.8.3 I have not seen the hostname show up on my linksys router nor on the new setup I just did for a friend on his Dlink router. Thanks,

It took a bit of experimenting but this finally worked for me setup like this... SMTP Server: plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com SMTP Port: 587 User ID: yahooID Password: yahooMailPassword From: yahooID@yahoo.com Timeout: 1000 TLS: unchecked The port 465 may be blocked by the internet provider so that may be why its not working and 587 is. Here is Yahoo's help page. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/y ... op-14.html Thanks,

You can't have two separate scenes with one same button as a controller. I think what you will have to do is create one larger scene that has all the same lights in it and have it controlled by that one button. Second question is answered with a set of LED follow programs. Examples are in the Wiki... Creating a KeypadLinc LED Follow Program Thanks,

The unresponsive I have seen too, usually it seems to be just the java admin interface is gotten confused. Most likely if you close the admin and relaunch it, then the pop-up progress bar will show up again. I have had this happen to me several times, and I just know if the bar does not show up to just automatically relaunch the admin. I have been trying to figure out what the common thing is that causes it so I can submit it to Michel as a bug but so far I am still unsure. Thanks,

Restore device first clears the device then rewrites the links back to it. Having links outside of the ISY is not standard practice. Just wondering why do you have links outside of the ISY?

I am not using a rain sensor currently but rather am just going by the weatherbug data. I am sure you could use the IOLinc rain sensor to catch that info and easily handle it thru ISY programming though. I did the same... I ran with a Toro ECXTRA timer for a year or two and later switched, what pushed me over was the ECXTRA was a piece of junk and gave me lots of issues and I finally got fed up and jumped in on the EZFlora. So a small warning is you may like the Hunter and end up not changing it. Thanks,

Kind of a mixed bag... The EZFlora is a good product and the ISY controls it well. I have not had any issues so far in the couple months I have had mine. I created programming to run it automatically and also controllable manually. Plus I have the ISY timestamps of the programs that show me when each valve last ran. I like mine but I am a tinkerer and like to fiddle with things myself. Currently the ISY supports direct control of the EZFlora nodes, so with this in mind you have to do all the programming in the ISY to give you the function of a normal irrigation controller. Setting up the programming to run it is not too bad, there are examples in the forum and Wiki so that is not to big of an issue. One nice thing is the example programs use the weatherbug data to handle rain and temp variables. It is a more hands on approach compared to the Hunter which would be a bit more simple setup and your done, but if you don't mind a bit of tinkering the coolness of being able to integrate with a Keypadlinc or Remotelinc, you will like the flexible control. For example when I want to run it in manual mode I just grab my Remotelinc and turn it on. If I have a dipper broken its handy to have the Remotelinc in hand to run the manual mode when I am repairing it in the yard. Hope my rambling is useful. Thanks,

This is how you would make your 'Temp 074 Dwn Status' flag program to go false. If Module 'Climate' Temperature <= 74 °F Then Run Program 'Temp 074 Dwn Status' (Then Path) Else Run Program 'Temp 074 Dwn Status' (Else Path)

I wonder if the 503 is a http error... Why it keeps rebooting is unknown to me, Rand or Michel will know more.

I noticed that you where asking if you could access the outdoor temp from the ISY in this post so I am guessing that the outdoor temp is working for you now but I though I would follow up. http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=5013 PDF Manuals: http://www.smarthome.com/manuals/30411a_install.pdf http://www.smarthome.com/manuals/30411a_owner.pdf http://www.smarthome.com/manuals/30421.pdf I looked over the PDFs for the devices and I see what your saying about not giving exact terminal names to connect to. My guess is the RS1 must be a secondary "indoor" remote sensor input and the RS2 must be the "outdoor" sensor input. So if you getting a temp when displaying the outdoor temp then you must have it right. Thanks,

Thanks Michel! Mike, Maybe these products have some kind of network API or Rest API, something like that might get things going. This is about as far as I can tell with this high level look at things.

Ok got it. That's a cool trick! Thanks,

If Control 'Dining Room' is switched On And Control 'Dining Room' is not switched Off Rand, So doesn't the "is not switched Off" already catch everything? Do you need the "is switched On" in this too? Thanks,

Yep a program is currently the only variable in the ISY at the moment, and you can check that program for status at any time. I use empty programs all the time as flags. In fact if you need to count you can use multi-empty programs as several binary bits. The Wiki has a great example of using programs as variables, one of them I use all the time is this one... SwitchLinc_Emulates_Countdown_Timer This is the way I turn SwitchLincs into SwitchLincs Timers without actually buying the more expensive timered device. Thanks,

I am sure because of the age of this post it may be no longer an issue, but I would like to double check with you and make sure you moved up to at least the 2.7.15 firmware release because I think this was fixed by then. Thanks,

As for the Pentair Intellitouch... that looks like a bigger task if you thinking its something that could be connected over the network to the ISY. Michel would have to expand on this part. http://www.pentairpool.com/pdfs/Intelli ... tartIG.pdf http://www.pentairpool.com/pdfs/IntelliTouchUG.pdf Also there is an iphone app for the Pentair Intellitouch. http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/po ... 16557.html Wow so many new toys!

I did some searching but did not get too far, are you talking about the Pentair IntelliCom products? http://www.pentairpool.com/pdfs/IntelliComm.A.pdf I was looking in the PDF for the basic controller and was thinking if you're just trying to control the On and Off of the spa/pool pumps you might be able to do it with one or two IOLincs to control the low voltage input on the controller. http://www.smarthome.com/2450/I-O-Linc- ... ut-/p.aspx

Not sure if this helps more but here is the Wiki section about Control vs Status. Thanks,

I totally understand... I am a style programmer too, but with the ISY and its "everything is an event" design some of that has to go out the window.

Yeah I hope he has been active too and found some answers. I am working slowly through the unanswered posts and am trying to follow up on many of the older questions instead of just deleting them.
