Thanks Goosgle! Goose gives little hints called.... .....goslings!

@Guy Lavoie Many apps have learned to ask the google android spy network what your SSID and password is now. I guess the assumption is if you allowed to install you trust it with your credentials. Hassle saver but scary. AI (oneUI guessing?) at your service.

Write the text down in the QR code on the side of the bulb. I write the MAC address on the side of all my WiFi bulbs.

Then you will still be running. v4, similar to running MSDos. Beta means all the 1000s of devices are not installed yet. Sent from my SM-S711W using Tapatalk

..or jack up the price to pay for a support person. People here are happy to help donating their time and actually have used the equipment, instead of just reading a fake AI monitor with a language translator. Sent from my SM-S711W using Tapatalk

@CoolToys Yeah I thought about trying the split IP address technique. Trouble with that is, when a device connects and asks for an IP address assignment from the DHCP server, both routers would see only it's MAC address and both attempt to assign it an IP address from both ranges. There is no "steering" mechanisms. This is not "bridge mode". That could be done with most routers but then the user supplied router, in bridge mode, has it's DHCP server disabled. Only the master router assigns IP addresses and contains the NAT storage. Using the Bell HH4K DHCP server is the problem. There is no backup/restore facility. PPPoE was the real only way this could work, allowing the HH4K router to just act like a dumb modem, and Bell has disabled this function in their routers. Bell will not allow and will not support another modem on their fibre lines. The Netgear went back for refund. I am considering a different ISP now.

Looks like this will only be the second upgrade I won't install since v3.xxx when I bought my ISY994. Too scary and the upgrades don't matter yet.

I think that should have been (typo) $Timer -= 1 For more complete If $sTimer > 0 Then Repeat While device is OFF <---- avoid repeated useless comm traffic if desired Set device ON Repeat 1 time(s) Wait 1 second $sTimer -= 1 Else Set device Off Now to turn device on for X seconds, and automagically turn it off after X seconds. $sTimer = X

IIRC the automotive industry still calls them condensors. Yes. I only use five RGBW strip controllers now after moving. I have had a few power supplies go dead on me, but never create noise, that I know of. I still run them, along with 17 x RGBCW bulbs, 3 x RGBW bulbs, and 2 x WW/CW floor lamps via my MagicHome software. They all work well for the last 5-6? years. They keep bringing out new styles of bulbs and I have to hack the differences to tweak the code. The special effects are handy for notifications of people outside the door, and midnight (go to bed) reminders.

So this "condenses" down to a component that was afraid of the dark?

I wrote my own interface and had to update the firmware many times each time a new version of the bulbs came out. Then white variations use a completely different level technique also. I have them all compensated with patches now and they work well. I can control up to 10 bulbs simultaneously on the fly with some ISY program code and 3 NRs. All software is contained inside my polisy. Sent from my SM-S711W using Tapatalk

Tariffs are starting on all sides. I buy my equipment, made in UK or S.E Asia anyway. Things are not healthy with this trade war somebody started. It's a way for our governments to take money out of our pockets and many happily support it.

Oh Jeez. You mean we are going to hear... 'are we almost there yet?' ....'are we almost there yet?' . . . . . . . .'are we almost there yet?' over and over? Reminds me of V5.0.1 Sent from my SM-S711W using Tapatalk

Plus or minus 90 days, based on the coding world realities.

Sounds like two guys in Michigan are already setting up a date. Here's hoping you don't have to pay a tarrif on my Canadian data bits.
