My journey with the pool controller has ended. Intermatic has refused to help me with this controller, so unfortunate that this has become a $400 brick. They are not and will never be zwave compatible for the public.

Hello Everyone, Finally had time to finish the install. My Z-wave devices: Go Control bulbs, pe-653 pool/spa controller, kwickset locks, siren, dome mouse trap. 12->13 lost most of my zwave devices, but I added then back quickly. After Zwave board install, one of the locks disappeared, added back. The other one survived the restore. Didn't notice any reduction of z-wave reception range. Pool/spa controller still only partially works. Extended antennas and moved devices to have antennas one inch from each other to add back in. Looks like 8 endpoints added, only one works (high speed pump). Regards, Scott

Well, oops, my bad. 36 hours is the time period that it waited for. It appears that it is doing exactly what I told it. Like I said before, it is a bug, in my brain Sent from my zt180 using Tapatalk 2

The program that I am focusing on is the Weather Rain Delay 36 Hours program. It has no conditions and is enabled. It sets a variable Weather_Rained_Last_36_Hours to 1, then Waits 36 hours, then sets that variable to 0. The variable is an int variable. The Auto Scheduled Timer programs check if that variable is 0 only when the time condition is satisfied. The Weather Rain Delay 36 Hours program is briefly stopped if rain data provided by the weatherbug module is not zero, but I have modified this to be greater than 0.5. After being stopped, the program is restarted. Also, the Weather Rain Delay 36 Hours program is restarted by the Auto Scheduled Timer programs, which are both enabled. Weather Rain Delay 36 Hours is also set to run at startup. I found 3 versions of programs in the wiki. V1 is the brute force version, v2 uses variables and v3 uses the evapotranspiration module, which I don't have. Sent from my zt180 using Tapatalk 2

Hello Everyone, I have been using what I remember is version 2 of the irrigation program found in the wiki. I have modified it according to my current setup. I do not have the evapotranspiration module, so I don't use version 3. Last year, I noticed that it did not appear to be waiting the correct amount of time if no rain had fallen. I have just noticed this happening again. Upon further investigation, I have noticed that the wait appears to only be waiting half of the programmed time, i.e. 18 hours instead of the 36 hours that is in the program. There has not been any rain to reset the program chain. The program summary clearly indicates starting the wait program Friday at 11:30 pm and ending at Sunday 11:30 am. There are no entries in the log regarding a finished program at 11:30 am. My understanding of the program flow is that the wait for 36 hours program actually should never be stopped. So, my questions are, am I reading the program correctly, and if so, have a found a bug? Regards, Scott

A little off topic, but conductor for android is one android app that allows access to the isy-99. Actually, not quite so much off topic. Sent from my zt180 using Tapatalk

Hello Michel, Had the same problem again. Two more tests. Attempted to connect with telnet, no good, not even a prompt. Attempted pings with success. After reset, telnet successful. Regards, Scott Sent from my zt180 using Tapatalk

Hello Michel, The problem I was having has occured again. Powerline communications are normal. Scheduled programs appear to still be running. No access to the isy from the network. Unplugged the network connector and replugged did not restore network communications. Rebooted isy to restore web page and conductor communications. Regards, Scott Sent from my zt180 using Tapatalk

Hello Michel, The problem appears on conductor(wireless lan), and a wired computer. Several times per day, I read email, check forums and activate programs on my recently updated zenithink epad. I had noticed a lack of response sometimes late at night and in the morning. Attempting to investigate, I would check whether a computer would also not be able to connect. Unfortunately, I did not think to see if the ISY would run programs based on powerline activity, but I will remember this in the future. I just noticed that time scheduled programs with in the last few hours had executed. I have been avoiding conductor since I posted the problem and have noticed an improvement, but not one that I can quantify yet. Regards, Scott

Hello, I have been experiencing an unusually heavy number of isy user interface no responses lately. I am running 3.1.6 and I have not done any restores or backups. As far as I can tell, programs are still running. I usually try to get in with conductor first, then this morning, I tried with firefox. I have been working with brad on a camera problem, but with this too, it seems like a strange coincidence. I have just now been thinking, is there a way that these events could be related? Regards, Scott

Hello Michel, I tried the upgrade to java 1.6.0_19. Would not initialize the admin console. Never got the java graphic icon. I backed down to java 1.6.0_05 and it does work with a minor inconvenience. It pops the main browser window back up occasionally. In particular, while entering the username/password to get into the admin console, the admin console is hidden from view and I have to click on it to get the focus back to it. In each of these cases, I did clear the java workspace. Regards, Scott

Hello Michel, Ok, time for more testing. This time I will post in the beta forum. Scott

Hello, I was able to upgrade my isy-26 today to the 2.6.3. Before the upgrade, I did the backup on a windows machine. During the backup on a linux machine, I got a message that said it was unable to backup /CONF/PLMID.BIN and the backup was aborted. A telnet LS command appears to show its size as 128 bytes. So, this brings up a bunch of questions. Including, What is this file? Why doesn't windows trip up on it? Is it important? What should be done so that the linux machine can finish the backup? On the good side, the program tab works on windows and linux along with program export. Regards, Scott

Hello everyone, I tried deleting and relinking the kpl using the button A method. On the admin console it shows as a 0A.E8.E1 - Icon LampLinc BI-PHY v.2C and on the faceplate it has Rev 1.65 2486D 0727. I am able to tap link on the kpl to control other devices, but this does not get the other buttons into the isy. Regards, Scott

Rand, I tried holding button B ( and button A ). Button B did not link with the plm. What I did initially to get button A linked to the isy/plm was to put the isy/plm into linking mode and then i pressed the set button on the kpl. I was hoping that it would react like a controllinc or a remotelinc and add all of the buttons to the isy/plm. Only button A was added. I tried starting the process at both ends, i.e. initiating linking at the isy/plm and at the kpl with no result. Scott

Hello Michel, I finally received the kpl that I was waiting on. I put the isy into linking mode with the admin console and pressed the set button on the kpl. The only button on the kpl that linked was button a. How do I link the other seven buttons? Thanks.... Scott

Hello Michel, I have just jumped ship and moved my macros and timers from the AHP/CM15A to the isy-26. My macros and timers have been moved. I have another insteon kit on order. It has another access point, a appliancelinc, and a remotelinc. I have seen a triggered macro work the first time. So, we are going live. I like the program summary display. It could be interesting if I could see the step that each program was at (waits), but this might not be possible. I have noticed that I must get into the isy through a private URL instead of the My ISY link from unversal-devices. I see no tabs with the My ISY path. I am guessing this is because I have not yet been able to enable internet access. Thanks, Scott

Hello Mickel, Status update: Received kit from smarthome and installed accesslincs. Used controllinc and lamplinc to verify install and had to move accesslincs around to get good communications. The first endpoint of the ezrain is not communicating properly as it shows the ! mark. installed 3 pin outlets for 2 pin for mechanical integrity. This house is very old and only has two conductor wirie with point to point wiring. Do I need another accesslinc to handle the problem endpoint in ezrain? The ezrain is installed in a circuit isolated by a gfci due to being located near a hot tub. Also, I was looking at the house plan tool and was wanting to drag the edges to make the rooms bigger, smaller or shaped wider or narrower. It would be interesting if the house plan could be brought up directly for control and status. This might be too far outside the scope of the program or take too much time to do. Thanks, Scott

Hello Michel, I now have the rc drop installed and the ezrain linked. The ezrain required me to mount a ladder to remove it from its weather proof enclosure. I am now waiting on the smarthome package with access points before going further. Thanks, Scott

Hello Michel, I have ordered a kit from smarthome to get insteon access points so I can get sprinkler system linked. This also has two lamplincs so I can replace two x10 modules. I rechecked the box for the isy and there was a serial cable packed in the bottom. I would suggest that loose parts such as cables be packed where you run into them getting to the main piece of hardware. I did not look under the false floor until today. Was not a problem as I have serial cable parts available from my job and have made many cables in the past and I have a new way that makes it much easier to configure the cable as straight through or crossover. I was noticing some reluctance of the administrative console to close down operating under linux. This was not noticed under win2000. I await the kit from smarthome and the rc drop. Thanks!!! Scott

Hello Michel, The isy appears to be working. I found a bad network switch. I tried to link to the insteon sprinkler controller, but I believe it is on the other phase. Now I will order a starter kit from smarthome. I also would like to get on the 2.5 beta program to get x10 devices working. Thanks again for your help! Scott

Hello, I received an isy-26 from smarthome and am trying to get it working. I connected it up out of the box to my network and find that it did negotiate a dhcp address from my linksys befsr41. I had two dhcp devices at this time, a laptop and the isy. Everything else on my network is static ip. Was unable to connect with telnet or browser, so I made up a straight through db9 cable and can connect to port b. I have changed the address to a static address 192.168.1.20 and it says 192.168.1.20:65335. Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and gateway is 192.168.1.1. DNS server set to one of at&t anycast servers. Type ET and says telnet enabled. Type EI and says No Internet Gateway Found and Could Not Configure The Gateway. Am still unable to use telnet or browser. My eventual goal is to start with more insteon devices but for now have one insteon/x10 sprinkler controller and the rest is x10. So, my problem at this point is getting telnet and web access going. And I did try the http:/:65335/0/p (slash omitted) for the address. My network otherwise is all linux. What have I missed? Thanks..... Scott Norfleet
