Can you include these 2 options in your next update?

1) Customizable text & email notifications.

 

This is pretty straightforward, I don't think I need to plead my case.

 

 

2) Setting the condition so that when all devices in a scene are on, the Scene can reflect on/off.

 

This on the otherhand is my issue. Many of my scenes are simple 3 ways. When I log into my ISY from my cell phone, I can't check the on/off status for a 3way in Scenes. I have to log into Devices & if I find something I would like to turn on/off, I have to do it twice in devices because its a 3 way or then go to scenes & adjust the scene accordingly.

 

Seems like a lot of steps for a 3way if you ask me. A simple On/Off if all devices are on would easily correct this issue in the Scenes folder.

 

What do you guys think?

Regarding #2, something you can try is setting up some programs to do some housekeeping to keep everything in sync. I do this for my multi-way circuits so I can continue to use the primary switch in the circuit for status.

 

The Wiki has an example of this here. I use a variation on that theme. Here's an example from my ISY generified a bit:

 

Monitor your PRIMARY switch and toggle the scene if it is changed:

 

If
       Status  'Switch A' is On
   And (
            Status  'Switch B' is Off
         Or Status  'Switch C' is Off
       )

Then
       Wait 2 seconds
       Set Scene 'Switch Group' On

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

You'll then set up another program doing the inverse of this one to keep the switches together based on changes made to the primary switch.

 

If you toggle the primary switch on your phone (or through the web interface), this program will keep the other switches in sync. If you toggle any of the switches by a physical paddle press, the scene will continue to fire and the program will not be necessary.

 

The wait is there to reduce chatter if the lights are turning on as part of a scene request. Action is only taken if the condition is still true after 2 seconds (programs will interrupt if their conditions change while waiting).

 

Keep in mind that this program is designed for binary on/off. Handling dimming would require something different.

 

If I'm incorrect on any of this, we should hear soon. ;)
