I would only add that the first time you need to manually run the first program. "run then". Since it is set to run at startup, any reboots will automatically get it going. As an alternative, you can install the time data node. Using that, you can have it run at a specific schedule rather than on a loop starting whenever the program first ran. In this case, no need to run at startup. Below is an example to run at the top and bottom of the hour, every hour. If 'TimeData' Minute is 0 minute Or 'TimeData' Minute is 30 minute Then Run Program '2' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

One of my pool pumps uses LV signaling to set the 4 speeds. I use a CAI webcontrol board which outputs 5v on the 4 signal wires to set the speeds. CAI has a plugin node for ISY. I wrote some programs and created some shortcuts in my pool favorites folder to create "radio buttons" where you can hit any of the speeds and it will turn off any other speed that might already be on. If your pump is just a simple on/off because it either is getting power or not, then I would use a high current relay to switch the pump that uses 120vac for the coil and then use an outdoor Insteon switch to control the relay. That is how I control an aerator for my pond.

What in the world would they do with all those switches getting shipped back to them? Seems like a big waste of resources shipping that stuff back just for them to chuck them in the trash bin.

Basically there are two things that can happen here. 1) messed up links in a device, but ISY links table correct 2) Messed up ISY links table. 1) Is easy to fix, factory reset the device and restore it from ISY You can very quickly do that to bunches of devices and I would just go ahead and do it, not just to a misbehaving device but all related devices, even most of the devices in your house. Also don't forget the plm is a device with links on it that could be incorrect. 2) is harder to fix. Delete devices from ISY, factory reset devices, add back to ISY and re create all the scenes and re-add to any programs. I have seen both, but number 2 has only happened to me once a very very long time ago and was probably related to when I first added ISY to my system and already had devices programmed manually and then imported them to ISY.

I think it has been more than 20 years since I have seen a router without option for DHCP assigned fixed IP based on MAC address. It is foolish to do it any other way since you would then need to manually keep a table of all your devices with fixed address lest you end up with multiple devices on the same IP, which of course, does not work out well. Furthermore, even if you don't manually accidentally set two devices with the same IP, with DHCP on the router, it could give out that address to some random device, meaning you would need to configure router to not give out that address via DHCP, at which point you might as well just set the router to use DHCP reserved addresses. Finally, a UPS on your router, modem, and eISY is never a bad idea. A relatively small UPS could keep them running for many hours.

PM sent.

I feel your pain. I have seen similar ghost links. The only way to get rid of them as far as I can tell is to completely delete all involved devices from ISY, factory reset them, and bring them back into the fold from scratch. I found that shooting screen shots of all the scenes and whatnot from the admin console of ISY makes recreating the scenes again much easier. Same holds for any programs. This is an issue I had many years ago and seemed to have been a result of devices that died and needed to be replaced as well as moving devices around. I have not had issues like this in over a decade.

OK, found a new site, this one I think will work forever, cuase it says it will, but we will see. https://postimages.org/ use what they call the "direct link". Yeah, but then it will only work on your lan, or you need to open a port or run a vpn back to your house from your phone at all times. The postimages.org website is one that I remember now having used many years ago and if I recall it did exactly what it was supposed to do.

After two days, MS seems to have reset the url and it no longer works. Back to square one.

Why not just leave the 994's? Do you need something more where those devices are located? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I have a 994 at one of my sites and I can't think of anything more I want to do at that site and just let it keep doing its thing. Super reliable without any of the beta updates that I have such a hard time not installing. That 994 is seriously so stable I don't even think about it for a couple years now. I have a polisy at my home now and I keep having to hold myself back from installing this latest update. I don't need it, at least not at this point, but that damn temptation keeps coming after me. It is like the ring in the Lord of The Rings. I don't have that temptation with the 994.

When I create a new favorite as a command and then populate the command I want to execute, as soon as I save the command, it crashes UD Mobile. This is consistent every time and on two different android phones. Upon opening UD Mobile I do find the favorite I created successfully saved including the command that crashed it. At one point, Android gave me a message about it crashing and asked me if I wanted to clear the cache. I did, but I don't think that is the solution. Not sure if it is specific to the nodes I am using or not. The display node and command node is a webcontrol output. It happens regardless if I add a custom url for the icon or not. @Javi

Still working. I even edited one of the photos and saved it back to the MS One Drive and the changes showed up in UD mobile.

If button c is turning on button e, then your scene as controlled from button c has button e as a responder

It would be nice if there were just a folder on the phone that you can point UD mobile to retrieve an icon from. With the url over the internet, there is a delay. @Javi

I have found that MS One Drive works for icons on UD Mobile. I hope this is stable over time. Save your photo that you want to use as an icon to one drive. It can be full color or whatever but since the icons or so small, nothing detailed or it will just be lost. Open the image in one drive, right click on it and "Copy URL". Plug that URL into UD mobile custom URL.
