Anyone else get an intermittent result when having notifications sent? I have setup a Verizon account so the ISY can send out notifications to me (a fun little program here and there). When I test, the test notifications come though, but when I have it run though a program and have it send something, it does not always come though. For example, I ran the Then command on one of my programs that sends notifications, I had to run it 4 times before I actually got my text, not sure where the other 3 ended up.

 

**Edit**

Checked the error logs, seems I'm getting below, sometimes it sends them all flawlessly (just set it up to send 4 times with a 10 second wait between all of them) and I got all 4

Hi wingman1487,

 

50010 means DNS error (http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index ... MTP_Errors ). It seems as though ISY has a very hard time with your DNS server (router).

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Humm, interesting since it seems to work sometimes. Is there a way you know to set something like on error retry?

Hello wingman1487,

 

We have had reports of DNS issues with a few ISPs. I think there's one DNS server out there that is contributing to these issues.

 

If you don't mind configuring your ISY with a static IP address (ensuring that the IP is outside your router's DHCP range), then I do recommend using the following Google public DNS servers:

8.8.8.8 OR

8.8.4.4

 

Or, if you wish (not recommended), just have your router point to these servers for DNS.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Michel,

 

Pointing the ISY to Google's public DNS seems to have done the trick, I'll keep an eye on it to make sure. Thanks for the reply!
