TriggerLinc 2421

[jwagner010]

I have had a Triggerlinc sitting unused that I bought some time ago (I think when the Triggerlinc first came out). It has a sticker on it showing 'REV 1.0 0924'. I now have a need for the Triggerlinc. Before I install it, are there any known issues with this version of the Triggerlinc? Do I need to buy one with some later firmware?

[LeeG]

I have two rev 1.0 (hardware revision) TriggerLincs that work fine. They have v.28 firmware. Suggest adding them to the ISY and testing before using two sided tape to mount.

 

What ISY firmware level is being used?

[jwagner010]

Thanks will try it tonight.

 

Running latest firmware 4.0.5.

[jwagner010]

Installed it and it works fine.

 

One more question, does the Triggerlinc have a heartbeat/notification functionality when the battery is low and needs to be replaced?

[LeeG]

No. TriggerLinc does not have low battery notification.

[jwagner010]

Ok thanks. Given this is on a door that is used pretty much everyday I guess I can build a notification program on the ISY that if there is no open or closing of the door over a 24 hour period to then have the ISY notify/email me that battery may be flat. Figured I can have a program that increases a variable for each opening or closing and if that variable is zero after 24 hours to email me that battery may be flat. May have to factor in weekends if I am away.

Or, at 12:01am set a variable to 0. Everytime the door opens, set the variable to 1. At 11:59pm check the variable and alert if it is at 0. If it is as busy as you say, you could probably move the test and alert up to Noon or earlier for quicker response and a time of day when you would be more likely to run and replace a battery.

Take a look at this possibility. It primes itself at 1AM (arbitrary time). So long as the TriggerLinc sends an On or Off message within 23 hours wait period nothing happens beyond the Program being retriggered with new Wait 23 Hours after each TriggerLinc message. When 23 hours pass without any message from the TriggerLinc the Notify is executed. I picked a 23 hour wait (could be 23 hours 55 minutes) so the 1AM trigger would not start a new Wait cycle possibly preventing the Notify. The Program will send a Notify every 23 hours until the TriggerLinc becomes active again.

 

If
       Time is  1:00:00AM
    Or Control 'TriggerLinc1-Opened' is switched On
    Or Control 'TriggerLinc1-Opened' is switched Off

Then
       Wait  23 hours 
       Send Notification to 'ALL'

Else
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

That one wins the prize!

 

Thanks LeeG.
