This solution isn't free, but it's pretty close. I'm using twilio.com to send and receive SMS messages in other applications. Twilio has a well documented interface, and you can get a unique phone number for $1.00 a month plus $0.01 per SMS messages sent or received. I tried setting up an ISY network resource based on the SMS sending message at http://www.twilio.com/docs/api/rest/sending-sms and when I ran a test, it popped right up on my phone with my twilio "from" phone number, just as expected. Of course, I also got the error "TCP client read response failed [Net Module Rule: 4]" from the ISY which I'm uncertain how to interpret, although that didn't interfere with my ability to use the resource in an ISY test program to send messages. They have free demo accounts available for testing, so if you're interested, you may want to give it a try. Here is screen shot of the network resource setup, with a bit of blurring over my account details: Chris

I've been using 2.7.15 since 4/21, and things have been going smoothly. This morning, I noticed the front porch lights on, so I tried to connect from MobileLinc, but couldn't get a network response. Came inside, rebooted, and then things came back and I could set the lights to go off. I do have an Elk M1G and CQC talking to this unit. The Elk just triggers a scene on and off each time the garage door opens and closes. I don't have CQC doing anything automated with the ISY at this point. The log data stops at 7:12 pm last night when it was bringing the outdoor lights on for the evening, and resumes this morning after the reboot. No error messages to report that would account for any of this. For now, I'm just watching it to see what happens, but thought I should mention the odd behavior as well. Chris

Jack, You can create a folder, add the 8 am time to it, then use the OR condition and add another line for 9 am, 10 am, and so forth, until you have: If Time is 8:00:00AM Or Time is 9:00:00AM Or Time is 10:00:00AM Or Time is 11:00:00AM Or Time is 12:00:00PM Or Time is 1:00:00PM Or Time is 2:00:00PM Or Time is 3:00:00PM Or Time is 4:00:00PM Or Time is 5:00:00PM Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. With that in place, put the relevant programs in the folder, and you should be all set. Chris

I suspect that you can just set a schedule on the folder that matches all time that is prior to or after 7/23 using From, unchecking Daily, and using Or to build something like this: If From 12:00:00AM on 2009/07/21 To 11:59:59PM on 2009/07/22 Or From 12:00:00AM on 2009/07/24 To 12:00:00AM on 2025/01/01 as long as the first date is in the past and the last date is far enough in the future that it doesn't matter.

I do something like this using a second, empty program that tracks the previous status, using logic like: If Program 'Test Program' is True And Program 'Test Program Old Status' is False Then Run Program 'Test Program Old Status' (Then Path) ## and do what you want to do on change here Else - No Actions I have an equivalent program to check if "Test Program" is False and "Test Program Old Status" is True, which runs the Else case on old status. This allows me to detect when the status changes, make note of that detail, and then do something.
