Hi,

 

I'm new to using the ISY-99i. I'd like to implement code to run programs. I'm wondering if there is any way to write the code in a text editor of my choice and then somehow import that code to create official 'programs' in the Universal Devices Administrative Console. I can see that you can copy a program to the clipboard. I think I just want to reverse that and 'paste'. Is there a post on how to do that?

 

Thanks in advance

There are Export/Import functions but I don't think they are what you would be looking for. Export a Program to see the format. There is nothing that supports Pasting as Programs are not stored in the Copy to Clipboard format.

Thanks for the reply LeeG. So it seems that the only way to implement a program is using the gui based interface of the Universal Devices Administrative Console? Or are there other alternatives of which I'm not aware?

That is the only realistic approach. If you spend enough time analyzing the Export file, developing an application that would take the Copy to Clipboard format and convert to the Export format so that it could be imported. The ISY is not expecting the Import file to be anything but perfect since it was created with Export so any mistake could produce some very unfortunate results. Stick with the Admin Console GUI.

Very well. Thanks again.
