barkster Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 I finally got my EZIO8SA going and weird thing is, I have my test circuit plugged into Relay 8 on the control but when I am in my 994i and toggle relay 8 it doesn't do anything but if I toggle relay 7 my circuit operates as expected. Is this typical that they are not mapped correctly?
Brian H Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) That is a known issue and it is the EZIO8SA's problem not the ISY controllers. http://smartenit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=902&sid=ecdadc349074b8fe7e50026b7befab1e Edited September 22, 2014 by Brian H
barkster Posted September 22, 2014 Author Posted September 22, 2014 Hey Thanks, at least I know it's not me. Funny thing is, I just happened to choose the relay 8 for my very first testing and it threw me off for a bit, I could hear relay coming on and off but took me a minute to figure out what was going on. At least it's an easy fix.
Brian H Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 I don't know when the problem started. My real early EZIO8SA does not have this issue. Relay 7 is 7 and relay 8 is 8.

larryllix Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 That thing has a 1wire port on it??? Does it work? Properly? Is it a hardware interface? What does it do with the data? Could this be a heating system designer's dream?
LeeG Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 It worked the last time I tried but have nothing on day to day usage. The ISY does not support configuration of the 1-wire information. The EZIO8SA supports a single 1-wire device.
Brian H Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) The small users manual for the EZIO8SA says it is programmed for a Dallas Semiconductor. DS18B20 temperature sensor. It also indicates the connection are documented on the Smartenit wiki. The older archived manual I have shows the connections. Well it must be hidden real well as I could not find it there. Actually I didn't see anything in their wiki related to the Insteon modules they manufacture. Only their new Zigbee and related devices. Edited September 22, 2014 by Brian H
barkster Posted September 23, 2014 Author Posted September 23, 2014 from everything I've read the 1 wire doesn't work with the ezio8sa and 994i, I wish someone could prove me wrong. i ordered a ds18b20 but was dissapointed to find it won't work
LeeG Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) The ISY does not support configuration of the Analog Inputs 5,6 and 7. The Analog information has to be set using the Simplehomenet Utility Suite (free download) . Input 7 (1-wire) will indicate On or Off based on the temp read from the 1-wire sensor versus the Analog ranges set for input 7. Edited September 23, 2014 by LeeG
larryllix Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 It's just too bad that Dallas didn't make anything standard for these cute 1wire sensors so that we could plug in any new 1wire device that comes along and a standard device-control-block would just assume the position/data. Now every driver writer supporter has to incorporate a huge library of profiles for all these devices. Then again the complete openness of the beast is probably what makes it so capable and powerful. Eg. EPROM memory at the end a 1wire?
