Remote Triggering of Events

[smokegrub]

I have two ISYs at separate locations separated by more than 300 miles. Currently, I receive email notifications for certain events but that is of little value when I am asleep! I would like to be able, for example, to have a light (Inseon Controlled) blink in my bedroom a few times and/or a BuzzLinc alarm if a door is opened at the other location. How do I have an event at one location trigger an event at the other location?

Need the Network Module, in the remote ISY, send  REST command to the local ISY. It could set variables and then programs in the local ISY can trigger to operate what ever you want.

You could operate programs or devices directly but the variable allows multiple programs and sequences to work off one event. Two variables could give more security from nuisance.

 

When the local program runs it could just reset the variable flag and/or send back another reset to the remote ISY. More complex and it takes two NR modules.

Assuming you have the ISY Portal you could have House A send a command via IFTTT to the other house B which is linked to what ever Insteon device. I'm sure there are other ways but that's one that popped in my head.

smokegrub,

 

As larryllix suggested, Network Resource is the best idea. I think you already have ISY Portal, so Network Module comes with it.

 

With kind regards,
